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.]

[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.

...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.

[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.
