video † looking for duel

[cruxified]

[video]

[The man on the screen is a bit tall, if the camera angle is any indication. He is dressed in a tight navy uniform and a cape. Someone please tell him that Halloween isn't for another month.

He has a rather frightening stare, though. Maybe... tell him next time.]

I require a sparring partner. I use a sword and shield, but you can use whatever you're comfortable with. I know some magic as well.

[A pause.]

Meet me in District 2, in the small park at [intersection].

[He shuts the feed off after an awkward silence.]

Comments

[video] ALL THE EDITS EVER SORRY

[cruxified]

[There is a light shrug from this end of the feed.]

He likely chose the name himself. I'm not sure of the meaning.

... Pokémon?

[He hopes Davesprite means in a general sense. Well, whatever, he's like four thousand years old he can let a little of the game script slip.]

The summoners of the world form pacts with the spirits to acquire their strength and wisdom. I was... merely an observer.

[video] it's cool, these things happen! I think I only saw one or two

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

So I'd have to ask him. […yeah easier to see if he can find a dictionary or something.]

Basically animals that grow into stronger forms when they hit a certain level or achieve something special or some other condition. [he shrugs.]

Oh, yeah, makes sense. But you didn't track them down or whatever yourself.

[cruxified]

It seems that way. [Kratos is not your walking dictionary about things that have nothing to do with him.]

... We tracked them as a group, once we knew we had to have their help. They mostly reside within temples.

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

Sounds about the right sort of place to go looking. Better than having to track them down all over the countryside.

So you had a whole team, huh. What were you guys trying to do?

[cruxified]

[Kratos shrugs lightly.]

Regenerating the world is a heavy task.

Why is this of any interest to you?

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

Must be.

[he shrugs.]

Sounds more interesting than talking about how many people you shook hands with today.

[cruxified]

[He pauses, and then realizes maybe he came off kind of cranky.]

... I apologize. I'm unaccustomed to... small talk.

["I'm socially awkward."]

[dontthesunlookgoodtoday]

[he saw the face, he was prepared.

Kratos gets another shrug, though. Davesprite's not bothered that much, really, it just makes things kind of tricky.]

'S cool. I can talk enough for two, if it comes to it. Maybe even three.

…so, how many people you got coming?
