Friendly Reminder to Not Be Like Him...

[immortalmarshal]

[The feed opens up to reveal Cor in his traveling clothes, sitting near a beach. It's sunrise, and it looks rather lovely....

Except for the fact that Cor himself looks like he's had the snot beaten out of him, bloody bandages and all.]

Just a question - anyone else noticed that all the monsters have grown more aggressive than normal lately? Pretty sure that they're not supposed to be this eager to tear people apart.

If any Natives know if this is a regular occurrence, feel free to let the rest of us know.

[He pauses as he adjusts the bandages around one arm.]

...doesn't feel like it's normal, though...

[The last bit is muttered just as the feed is turned off.]

You wouldn't be one of us if you were.

Pissed off enough to attack randomly, or just whatever's been pissing you off?

[Yes, he's calling your bluff here.]

[sullenstallion]

I'm not one of you.

And whatever gets close sounds good to me. I'm not picky about what pisses me off.

[It's hard to call his bluff when he really is feeling violent. C'est la vie, eh?]

[immortalmarshal]

Tell that to the Dreamwidth.

You're not anywhere near Yun'Ashia, are you?

[sullenstallion]

The what

That thing? it brings in dead body parts sometimes, who the hell cares what it does

I'm not even on the same island. Why?

[immortalmarshal]

I was wondering if you would want me as a no-holds sparring partner. Someone has to help you beat those urges back.

[.........]

Dead body parts?

[sullenstallion]

Yeah i heard some guy got an arm. just an arm. it was delivered to him and everything.

Maybe you should hold off on the sparring offer for a time when you don't look like you fell down a flight of stairs holding a knife

[immortalmarshal]

Weird. It wasn't a missing part of himself, was it?

It's not as bad as it looks. I'll be fine in a couple of days.

[sullenstallion]

No. it was someone else's arm. the dream width sucks in garbage like that all the time.

What's in it for you?

[immortalmarshal]

Huh. Thought it was whole beings and weapons.

What do you mean by that?

[sullenstallion]

You thought wrong. Don't make that mistake again.

You're volunteering to get your ass kicked, right? I'm surprised you even remember me.

[immortalmarshal]

I rarely make the same mistake twice in a row.

You're rather memorable, from my point of view. Though I doubt I'm the one whose ass will get kicked around.

[sullenstallion]

Good. I'd rather be lumped in with the Geezards than with your friends.

You're going to have a tough time kicking my ass. Tail, remember?

[immortalmarshal]

And what's wrong with being friends with humans? Not all of us are assholes who mistake other races for monsters folks.

I've kicked plenty of tail in my time, too.

[sullenstallion]

Don't make this weird. I don't want friends

I just want to kick your ass

[Never mind that he doesn't have feet.]

[immortalmarshal]

Not even a sparring partner?

You're more than welcome to try

[sullenstallion]

A sparring partner that's stronger than what's outside the town's walls would be nice

Let's set something up

[immortalmarshal]

Depends upon which town you're at.

And sure. Name a time and place of your choosing.
