002 - accidental voice

[omurice]

Pow! Powpowpowpow! Pow!

[From the way it sounds and the echo, someone's in the training hold at the moment. And by himself for that matter.]

Let's go, formation alpha!

[And sounding like they're having a pretend fight with... something.]

Justice will prevail at the hands of the Sunscreen Rangers! For tonight, we will dine on seafood!

[The sounds of scuffling can be heard as gunshots are shot off and the sound of a blade is swung through the air.]

Pow, powpowpowpowpow, POW! Sunscreen Ranger! RED!

[And the feed abruptly ends.]

I assure you, I do not need a group watching me while I practice my own routines!

[Are you trying to make him the laughing stock of Exsilium, Brother?]

[pactfulfilled]

No, what I mean is... [Asbel scratches the back of his neck.] Well, isn't the finishing assault usually carried out by the entire team, not a single member? It's like that.

[Asbel may not be a comic book nerd, but he's still pretty sure you can't do one of those flashy team-up moves without a team. And those were always the most exciting combinations that always seemed to work out in the end. It'd just look weird performing one alone.]

[omurice]

I suppose you're right about that, however... I don't intend to work on this with a team. I'll figure out a new maneuver if necessary.

[Lil' bro just doesn't want his geek showing. It's really embarrassing...]

[pactfulfilled]

Oh. Well I guess that makes sense. Then how about a sparring partner?

[Embarrasing. Right. This guy's seen way more embarrassing things than your attempts at LARPing, Hubert.]

You know, so you can work out any flaws in your routine. Dummies can't exactly think for themselves, after all. [Not that there are any flaws...]

[omurice]

A sparring partner is something I would not turn down.

[But there will be no LARPing in these spars, OKAY?]

However, there is no 'routine', I'll simply be working on keeping my skills in tact.

[Asbel, please stop. He's not going to LARP with you.... you have to catch him doing it when he thinks no one is looking.]

[pactfulfilled]

[He's just going to go ahead and assume that's Hubert-speak for "Sure, Asbel. I'd love a sparring partner, but don't expect me to go easy on you."]

Fair enough. I'll be there in a bit.

The usual place?

[And seriously, Hubert, don't be such a party pooper. What's wrong with LARPing?]

[omurice]

Yes, as per usual.

[He's just... not going to fight it anymore, because it's a losing battle.]

[pactfulfilled]

You got it!

[And if he sounds just a little smug, well. Sorry.]
