[ OPEN INT BAIT ]
⠀❝ this is quite .. uncharacteristic
⠀of me, but i seek for a duel from
⠀whomever accepts my invitation.
⠀my offer for spar does not come
⠀from my need for competition,
⠀but to learn more about my
⠀fellow adversaries. ❞
⠀( more info in thread )
@CrossbowSnipes ⠀i .. also recommend learning
⠀french when you are sober, mon
⠀amie.
⠀[ rapier briefly commented ..
⠀but with the comment came a
⠀question that popped up in his
⠀mind. ]
⠀speaking of which .. is there a
⠀reason you only fight while
⠀intoxicated?
@CrossbowSnipes ⠀but if you are ready like you said
⠀you were, i suggest we should
⠀start heading over then.
⠀[ rapier turns around to head
⠀towards his arena. he gives
⠀crossbow a small gesture with
⠀his hand to signal that she should
⠀follow suit. ]
⠀[+]
@Potential_Mage ⠀addresses tend to get
⠀complicated, but .. ahem. i am
⠀assuming it at least got into your
⠀hands if you're here right now.
⠀[ rapier turns around before
⠀gesturing grimoire to follow. ]
⠀please do follow me, and i will
⠀show you to my personal arena.

@Potential_Mage ⠀[ on a serious note .. grimoires
⠀appearance wasn't expected, but
⠀it was welcomed. especially with
⠀their initial bout being some time
⠀ago now, a refresher wouldn't
⠀either of them. ]
⠀ah, grimoire, mon ami. i hope
⠀the letter arrived to you without
⠀issue.
⠀[+]
@CrossbowSnipes ⠀.. oh, right. i also must ask if
⠀you are sober. i know you tend to
⠀drink before your fights ..
⠀[ at least, he thinks so? that
⠀would explain her aim .. ]
@CrossbowSnipes ⠀c'est bon de te voir, mon amie.
⠀.. ahem. if you didn't understand,
⠀i was saying that it is good to see
⠀you, crossbow. if you don't mind
⠀following me, i can show you to
⠀the arena.
⠀[ .. rapier pauses, trying to
⠀remember something .. ]
⠀[+]
@ChargEveronward ⠀i'm glad the invitation got to you
⠀safely, mon ami. i was tempted
⠀to ask you myself if the courier
⠀hadn't made it. hiring someone
⠀to send AND read the letter is
⠀surprisingly expensive.
⠀but do walk forward and follow
⠀me. i shall introduce you to my
⠀arena.

⠀[ lance .. it wasn't a surprise that
⠀the old man was quick to accept
⠀his duel request. the both of them
⠀shared a common desire for such,
⠀it seems.
⠀it was admirable that, despite
⠀his age and condition, lance
⠀continues onward. ]

⠀( if you ❤️ this bait, i will set a
⠀scene and post a starter for you. )
⠀( you can decide whether you
⠀want to focus on writing the duel,
⠀or talking with rapier during the
⠀duel. )
⠀( we'll decide action priority with
⠀the good old reliable d20. )
⠀
⠀[ .. rapier eyed the others' grip.
⠀it was quite firm on the scythe of
⠀theirs, but for what purpose? ]
⠀native tongue? it's certainly
⠀nothing i've heard before. but
⠀that answer .. suffices.
⠀[ flicking the crushed cigarette
⠀in his fingers to the ground. ]
⠀[+]
( ..you are just as avoidant as I am. )
[ A hand remained gripped on the scythe.. gaze drifting back to it. Something about it was.. odd.
In a strange, almost innate feeling.. Rapier would get the sense that perhaps they Couldn't let go of the scythe. ]
⠀haah. even more strange than i
⠀initially thought. was that so hard
⠀to let out?
⠀[ suddenly acting all non-chalant
⠀again, as if the vague answer was
���all he needed. he turned around
⠀and simply .. began walking
⠀away? ]
