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!

Those people are stupid. Good luck, I guess?

You will need to keep all the luck you can find. As silly as I believe fighting to be, we have both seen people experience extreme pain as a consequence of losing. [ He bows his head. ] Although I find your perspective to be vastly different from my own, if I am able to lend my assistance to you, do not hesitate to ask me.

...Thanks, France. I really appreciate that.

Do you have a Player? Or, uh, are you a Player? If not, I could always use more Weapons! [ something that's not a sword, oh goddess, oh please... ]

Solidarity is our only hope for retaining our integrity. [ blah blah speaking in puzzles blah ]

Non, I do not. If you are versed in using rapiers, I would be glad to offer help. [ nope sorry your life sucks ]

[pennypincher]

Rapiers. [ Siiigh. ] I guess learning is a good thing, right?

[france]

Would you like me to teach you? I once knew a young man who made up in spirit for what he lacked in experience. They are not difficult to use, provided you are somewhat graceful. Of course, to show you, I would need something to demonstrate with.

[ A pause. ] Hmm... peut-être... perhaps I could provide you with a dual, if only for training? If we used something like sticks, I am sure it would not be breaking the rules, would it?

[pennypincher]

I'm extremely graceful. I should get the hang of it in no time.

That sounds good! Arthur's a sword too so I could really use the practice. Thanks!
