Okay, Conquest needs to win this round, so who wants to fight me? I'd rather fight people from Fortitude so that you don't get tortured when I beat you, but if someone from Conquest really really wants to battle I guess I won't say no.

Anyone up for a fight? I won't go easy on you!

And hey, Arthur! I got you something!

[knightime]

[igirisu]

[ he sounds interested ]

What did you get?

[pennypincher]

It's an upgrade ring! I don't know what it does yet, but it should definitely make your weapon stronger.

[ action ]

[igirisu]

Upgrade ring?

[ he sounds confused ]

We'll have to find out I suppose...

[pennypincher]

[ And there he is! She holds the ring out to him. ]

Man, this totally better be worth it. I saw some mega-useless upgrades listed in that manual...

Why is everyone so obsessed with fighting? It is such a silly thing: I can think of much better ways to pass the time. [ Sigh. And a curious look. ] Arthur? You are friends with Arthur?

[ A smug, somewhat condescending smile. ] Ahh yes. That makes much sense.

[pennypincher]

I don't know if I'd say friends, but he's a teacher here and he's my Weapon. So I know him.

It's not like I want to fight, but I also don't want to lose money or get that mega headache again. So I don't really have a choice.

[france]

That sounds more accurate, Arthur as an ally, and an... [ He wants to say 'unreliable', but can he really say that? Not really. ] Bon. Alors. I know him as well: we have both known each other for two thousand years. [ In a brief moment of neutrality: ] He is a very good fighter. You will not regret your choice.

[ Aaaand back to the Frenchness. ] And he has a temper, and he is ugly and he does not know how to have sex. But ah, not important for the battlefield, is it? [ A small frown. ] Yes, it would seem as if we are forced. That is not very good at all.

[pennypincher]

[ Bon what ]

...how many years? [ She blurts it out unceremoniously. That has to be a joke, right? Then again, there's Lucia-- But it was just Althena and Lucia, right? There couldn't have been any others. ] Are you serious?

[bloodandfire]

I will accept your challenge.

[pennypincher]

Mega-cool! Where and when do you want to fight?

[bloodandfire]

I have no preferences, wherever you choose I will agree to.

[pennypincher]

All right. How about later, somewhere in town? Or in that mega-serious business arena?

[overthroen]

[pennypincher]

I'm eager to not get tortured! And yeah, so?

[overthroen]

simply noting your speedy adjustment to the circumstances.
we will lose again, even if we win this time.

[pennypincher]

Not if Lemina Ausa has anything to do with it.

[forthward]

I think all this fighting is horrible.

[pennypincher]

But if we don't fight we lose money!

[forthward]

I know. I just don't like it.

[pennypincher]

Yeah, It'd be better if we didn't have to. But we have to make the best of what we have, right?
