Castle Game: avante en garde

[idolpro]

[Suddenly, you hear the wailing of a horn. Outside, tension is turning to panic. You can't see anything, but you can hear people gathering up their things, sobbing in fear or speaking in harsh whispers. A lone voice calls from the distance:

The enemy approaches!

Upon the map, an unfamiliar geography appears -- several small nations, clustered together. Outside of them, an endless sea of enemy forces, identified only by a symbol of a cracked skull. Each of the small nations is marked with a flag in one unit's colour, and a tiny model of a castle.

You are at war. How will you protect your people and yourself?

Let's try and aim for a 7, anyway. I don't want Gold and Nemesis to take more of a beating than they have to.

[softlyfalling]

...or Nitro. Agreed.

[gigadevilbreaker]

He doesn't even have the healing ability yet, does he...

[softlyfalling]

...I suppose it's about time I paid Cardigan's gift forward, if I need to. They bought it for me, too, you know.

[gigadevilbreaker]

I've got some points, too. I'm almost full up on abilities anyway.

[YOU'VE BEEN HERE LIKE TWO WEEKS, GRIFFIN]

[softlyfalling]

H...ow... well, color me impressed. There's still two I've never really bothered to buy.

But, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it, I suppose.

[He smiles a little smirk] I don't need Sword Proficiency, but it never huts to have more power.

[softlyfalling]

...hm.

Maybe Shishiou would show up to sword lessons if you're there...

[gigadevilbreaker]

???

Why would that make a difference t'him?

[softlyfalling]

Mm, well, he's comfortable with you, isn't he?

[gigadevilbreaker]

[mathlady.jpg]

...Huh??

[softlyfalling]

I don't exactly understand him, but I think that might be the case. Or, at least, he's interested in you?

That, and as I discovered, it's basically impossible to get him to go with you if he doesn't want to, so the fact that you managed to get him over to Taisho's dorms...

[gigadevilbreaker]

Well, it was Harpy that wrangled him. But... [scratches his neck,] she might be a bit too intense for a newbie to train with.

[softlyfalling]

He does, ah, seem to enjoy roughhousing with you, as well?

[gigadevilbreaker]

He definitely likes pissing me off...

But, I'll take an excuse to whack'im around.

[softlyfalling]

My thanks in advance.

...for helping, not for, ah, specifically "whacking him around."

[gigadevilbreaker]

Ha. I'll play nice, don't worry.
