video † looking for duel

[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.]

[Yeah, no, Kratos isn't the flashy type. He blinks at the name, but doesn't push it. It's a weird name but he probably has reasons to go by a title and not the real thing.]

If you're asking if I've warmed up, the answer is yes. Have you?

My run here was a warm-up. [Parkour does wonders for getting the blood pumping, particularly when you're moving over unfamiliar territory.] I'm ready to go whenever you are.

[Kratos nods. He assumes a ready position, balancing on the balls of his feet, sword down, buckler up.]

Let us begin.

okay wow dw don't tell me about this or anything!! sorry for the delay!

[the_ninja]

[The Ninja does likewise, standing with his legs apart for balance and moving his weight between both feet, ready to spring into action- which he does immediately, betraying his usual strategy of letting his opponent go first. In a burst of speed and motion, he closes the gap between the two of them in a feigned tackle as he attempts to get behind Kratos.]
