❖ 006 // [Action]

[crisisrain]

[Since the last event Raven has spent the entire time locked away in his room sleeping it off. Now however he feels as though that wasn't he wisest thing to do. So he's currently in the Barracks borrowing one of their standard wooden bows and practising hitting the targets. He doesn't seem to be doing very well though, he's broken a few window panes and even managed to hit himself with his own arrow. It'd be a wise idea to not stand anywhere near him, especially in front, he's not having a very good day.]

Hm? No didn't lose it, Flynn has it. Tryin' not to bring weapons back to my room at the moment, I don't wanna cause any hostility. I think I've got enough broad horizons when it comes ta combat.

[latkje]

Really? I'm not sure you can ever have enough broad horizons, but if you do, then why are you practicing?

[crisisrain]

Because I haven't touched a weapon since arrivin' in Luceti I guess. Didn't really think about it.

[latkje]

How did you manage that?

[crisisrain]

I've only been here since the middle of November.

[latkje]

I've been here less time than you, but I keep on getting attacked by this demon. It's really annoying.

[crisisrain]

Seriously? What did you do to provoke somethin' like a demon?!

[latkje]

Nothing! I'm no provocateur, and this isn't a pretty-lady shaped demon. Though, with the hair, I guess one could make that mistake. I've been thinking maybe I should start carrying a sword around, again, but that's something I really don't want to do. It just makes it look like you're expecting a fight, doesn't it?

[crisisrain]

Yeah that's why I don't have my bow at the moment. Though, I've still got that knife in my belt so I guess I send some kinda message.

But hey if ya use a bow, so just carry that around instead of learnin' to use a sword.

[latkje]

I don't really use a bow. Not well, anyway! But...[he pauses, as if he's trying to decide something.]

[crisisrain]

Oh? More like, you can use a bow, but you prefer somethin' else?

[latkje]

Well, here, I guess it's okay if I show you. You won't run around telling people about this, right?

[crisisrain]

Oooh a secret then! Nope I won't tell anyone, I'm good at keepin' secrets!

[latkje]

I just bet.

[But Nash walks a bit towards the target, raises his left arm and pushes something near his elbow with the right. A spike shoots out of his sleeve and hits the target. (And if that doesn't make sense because Nash's weapons don't, 8:26 of this video shows it.)]

[crisisrain]

[Oh Youtube, not a bad idea, here's a video that demonstrates Raven's bow and my username lol]

Wait so you hide spines up yer sleeve and use 'em as projectiles? That's a pretty discrete tactic! I'm impressed, gotta admit!

[latkje]

[Oh, I've played Tales of Vesperia!]

It's a spring mechanism, yeah. It's kind of uncomfortable, actually, but no one ever suspects.

[crisisrain]

[Huzzah have some love!]

I wouldn't imagine it ta be very comfortable, if ya fell asleep with it on you'd end up with a stabbin' pain in yer arm or somethin'.

[latkje]

If that happened, I might. But I try not to sleep alone.

[crisisrain]

What so ya'd rather stab someone else in yer sleep?

[latkje]

What? No! In my implications, women were involved, but clothing wasn't.

[crisisrain]

That's how it should be with all women. They shouldn't have clothes on durin' the day either.

[latkje]

You make a good point. Still, it wouldn't be proper to have them running about naked during this cold.

[crisisrain]

I'd keep 'em warm.

[latkje]

You always seem to have a plan. Alas, I fear I am bound by the ring on my finger.

[crisisrain]

Hey I'd be pretty darn happy with a ring on my finger.
