♐ 004 // [Voice]

[Raven is sitting in a tree outside house 12, bow in hand. Around his neck is a very warm looking scarf, given to him by Miyabi. Despite the fact he's complaining, it doesn't seem as though he actually cares, he's just doing it because he can. OOC: Also all other threads would take place before Yuri and Vash.]

I'm startin' ta feel real sorry for all those new feathers, showin' up in weather like this. Ya must be absolutely insane if ya think this snow is fun, or even pretty! I hate snow, snowmen, snowballs, snowstorms, igloos, icicles, ice cubes, ice cream, all of it! Urgh...

Please tell me it's gonna start gettin' warmer soon. I don't know how much more of the cold this old man can take.

Vash old pal? I take it all that noise over the journal would mean yer back to normal! How'd ya feel about meetin' me fer a drink at the bar tonight? I got the feelin' I'm gonna need a really hard drink later on.

[Filtered to Yuri | 99% unhackable]

Hey, Yuri! I've got an arrow with yer name on it! [He holds up an arrow to the camera, it has Yuri's name crudely written on it, followed by a little patronizing heart.] I'm gonna shoot it at your face! Hah!

It's my leg that isn't working right. My fists work just fine.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Sounds like yer mouth is workin' fine too. Why don't ya save the punches fer someone who deserves it more than me?

[Action]

[trueknight]

And who here deserves it more than you?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Malnosso.

[Action]

[trueknight]

[There's a short, quick pause -- Yuri saw the Malnosso first hand during the last draft, and they ... weren't what he expected. Which just made him more annoyed -- seeing his enemies with families and in such defenseless states, just ... well.

There was a reason why he didn't want to hear more about Alexei from Raven way back when during that one skit.]

I mean someone I can get to easily.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Dat skit. Raven starts walking towards Yuri, he has no intentions of staying in the barracks.]

I'm sure ya've made some enemies here that aren't me.

[Action]

[trueknight]

Not any that have bothered to stick around for long.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Maybe ya should stop scaring 'em off then! I'm sure someone else will show up to irritate ya before you know it!

[Action]

[trueknight]

Yeah, because I want more people annoying me.

[And turning away. He's gonna start leaving now.]

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Raven is going to follow behind you. Not to be a creeper, but to make sure you have someone to help if you start to stumble. See? Considerate old man.]

It'd give ya more people to practise yer skills against, wouldn't you agree?

[Action]

[trueknight]

[Awww, how sweet. Yuri is walking slowly, still, but at the very least, he's not stumbling around. Just. Being slow.]

So you're saying I should beat up whoever gets on my nerves?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

I didn't say that at all! I was sayin' it might do ya some good to have new people to be able to spar with!

[Action]

[trueknight]

I already have a handful of people to spar with, but ... I guess it has been a while since I hit any of them up for one.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Let yer injuries heal up first! You've been to that battle dome a lot though, huh? Is it any good?

[Action]

[trueknight]

Yeah, I know ... [Slight pause at that question, then--] Of course it's good! I wouldn't go to it so often if it weren't.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Huh, maybe I'll consider it someday. I just prefer fightin' real people instead of those illusions.

[Action]

[trueknight]

I can't blame you for that, but ... Fighting there? It definitely doesn't feel fake when you really get into it.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

But it's still just a fabrication. There's a certain satisfaction and adrenaline rush you can only get from fightin' reality.

[Action]

[trueknight]

Can't argue with that, but it's not like I can get someone to spar with me as often as I want to. Even if it's just a fabrication, it still gives off a feeling close to what a real fight gives.

[Action]

[crisisrain]

Push a few buttons and it's gone! Where's the danger in that? Whatever ya do in there, you'll always come out alive. That takes away the thrill people who enjoy fighting strive for.

[Action]

[trueknight]

True, but it still gives you a challenge -- not one that could beat fighting another person, but one that's decent enough. You get to see what it's like to fight monsters from other worlds there, too, so I can't really complain much about the lack of danger.
