I'm looking for an experienced weapon-based fighter who's not afraid to risk their life in a spar. I prefer swordsmen, but what I need right now is someone who can attack from a distance, dodge effectively, and defend themselves.

I won't lie and say it isn't dangerous. Don't offer if you're afraid of getting hurt.

...That's it.


[Go go awkward! And since Asch is just itching to get out of the house - awkward home situation is awkward - he'll be spending most of the afternoon/evening in the bar, practicing his drink mixes and trying to get a better feel for bartending. He's feeling just as socially clumsy as ever but a recent confidence boosting has him sort of... cheerful. Well, his version of cheerful, which is more or less just >:| with less > but hey. Baby steps. He's up for bothering and might actually be decently talkative. ....Just don't hold your breath.]

[voice] is there ever actually a good time?

[silversnowfall]

...All right. I'll meet you there, then.

[IS THIS PROGRESS?]

[Actoion] ...e-evidently now's good

[dissonates]

[He's working on some of the specialty drinks from Auldrant in the meantime, so she's free to show up anytime.]

[Actoion] <--- keeping it

[silversnowfall]

[It only takes her long enough to walk there from her house. So not too much time, really. She will come to sit at the bar and even order a drink.]

[Actoion] well shit now I feel kind of obliged to do it too

[dissonates]

[Well, isn't that nice. Asch glances over as she shows up and sits, mixing her order and sliding it over the counter to her. He keeps working silently for a long moment, mulling over his choices. ...Well, at least she might sort of understand.]

Hyperresonance normally can't be used in combat- it's too dangerous, too unstable. There's too many factors involved to risk it.

[Actoion] it's kinda cute

[silversnowfall]

[She's read up on fomicry. Have to keep up with what that devil of a brother is doing to the world, after all.

She sips her drink and nods for him to continue]

[Actoion] it's like japanese or something, AKUSHIOOOON~

[dissonates]

[Good, she gets it. That makes his life easier. He's probably going to be explaining this six times tonight, oi.]

This place is different from Auldrant- more limitations, and more reasons to risk your life. I need to know how to fight using hyperresonance.

[Actoion] I read it as acto - ion

[silversnowfall]

Hm. Is that why you specified attacking from a distance?

[Actoion] ...I might have to fix it this is making me twitch

[dissonates]

I don't want to be killing anyone.

[Action] /fixes

[silversnowfall]

No, of course not.

Have you tried anything at all with hyperresonance in the time you've been here?

[Action] /o/

[dissonates]

I've used it a few times. Only once in a fight, though. [And that was... not a good idea. But he'd had no choice- one hyperresonance had to cancel out the other or he'd have died.]

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

At least you have an idea of how things might go, then.

[Action]

[dissonates]

It's not really the same, but it might make a difference. I don't know yet.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[short, tiny bit awkward silence]

I hope it goes well for you.

[Action]

[dissonates]

[brb trying to fathom why you're always reasonably nice.]

...Thanks.

[Action]

[silversnowfall]

[You just know far too many people who aren't.]

You're welcome.

[Back to sipping the drink now.]

[Action]

[dissonates]

[Evidently.

He's still not good at this social business, so he gets busy with washing some of the glasses that had racked up since his arrival. Bartending is quiet and occasionally dull work, but at least he has time to think.]
