[Voice / Action]

[dissonates]

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.]

Maybe. [Buffy could be a little fast and loose with her scheduling.] Are the extra hands needed? 'Cause I can totally pencil a shift in.

[action]

[dissonates]

...It's not that busy, but do whatever you want.

[What he's not saying: PLEASE HELP, HE CAN'T SOCIALIZE THIS MUCH ON HIS OWN D8]

I guess I don't have much else to do. Just a house to avoid and a whole lot of chronological wackiness to unravel.

[Forthcoming and forward with her own bubble, she takes another long sip of juice. It just might also be that she has it on good Guytastic authority that someone else is wrastling with a should-we-shouldn't-we tell the newcomers situation. Of course--she isn't planning on intimating as much.]

[action]

[dissonates]

[Oh boy, her too? Asch looks slightly uncomfortable for a moment, then opts to go ahead and ask to avoid letting her ask a question about him or something. Most of Guy's friends tend to be nosy, after all.]

Why?

[action]

[herotypical]

[She plays it off rather casually.]

Oh, you know. The usual. A bunch of of the old home-gang have shown up but there's more than a few secrets that are gonna have to be kept. For their sakes, I mean...it's tough to find the right way to warn them about some things. And then there's just the stuff that's happened here--not much with the comfy sharing all of that.

[action]

[dissonates]

...Sounds familiar.

[Alarmingly so. Why do New Feathers complicate life so much?]

[action]

[herotypical]

Does it, huh?

[She finishes her glass.] The truth can be tricky. Way tricky.

[action]

[dissonates]

Sometimes it's easier to just keep it to yourself.

[action]

[herotypical]

[She nods, then:]

Did I hear right, by the way? You're looking for some kind of a sparring partner?

[Yes. The teeny blonde is looking to be far too piqued by this fact.]

[action]

[dissonates]

Not exactly. [Though he wouldn't protest to have someone around to regularly fight besides Guy. ...Or Luke.] A certain technique of mine is only supposed to be used when I can focus properly. I'm trying to learn to use it in combat, but it's dangerous to try.

[action]

[herotypical]

Dangerous, how?

[action]

[dissonates]

Hyperresonance- it can disintegrate any kind of matter. A misfire isn't just a matter of a quick healing or a visit to the clinic.

[action]

[herotypical]

Y-yikes. [Okay. That sounds pretty dangerous.]

[action]

[dissonates]

[Asch just nods. But at least he gave fair warning, right?]

[action]

[herotypical]

That's some pretty powerful...power. Magic?

[action]

[dissonates]

Not exactly. It's more science than magic, at least where I'm from.

[action]

[herotypical]

Science? Like, technology?

[She looks skeptical.] This doesn't involve a gun, does it?

[action]

[dissonates]

What? No. I asked for swordsmen, not gunslingers.
