23 Joke - There's a Gag Here Somewhere, I Swear.

[xochipilli_cursed]

[[Aaron is in a good mood and has finished one of his projects.

It's a go kart! The metal frame looks a bit stockier than you'd except with most go karts but the engine built by Dist can handle it. It even has a passenger seat.

Anyone who would think to can notice there is a secondary exhaust which seems to not be used at the moment. It's probably nothing though, right?

Aaron decides to take his new toy out on the town!]]


A) [Action | Anywhere there is a road]

[[Aaron is zipping down the roads, not caring which street he ends up on. If he recognizes you, or if you wave, he might even pull over.

He can be found anywhere in town.]]


B) [Action | 1451 Mitchell Road]

[[He's going to pull into the driveway at Mitchell.

Turning it off and knocking on the door. Hoping miss_enma_ai is home.]]


C) [Action | 1251 Williams Road]

[[inababanchou has been doing a lot for Aaron, so guess who is going to get a chance to test drive the go kart as well?

After Aaron has had his fun,he's going to be trying to get Souji out to have a try.]]


D) [Action | Your home]

[[Are you a friend of his? Has he had a friendly conversation with you at least once? Maybe you were his date to the Prom?

Well, he's swinging by to check on you as well. Also, he wants to show off his toy. He's proud he put it together.]]

[Nod. It's obvious that he's the wrong person to ask if she wants to witness it, so she'll let the subject of how guns work drop.]

Sword, lance, and axe are the three basic weapon categories. Do you insist that you want to learn the sword?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

That, or maybe how to use a knife, yeah.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

There are other swordsmen in town. [She recalls Lamia's offer (http://angelgressor.livejournal.com/2166.html) a while back.] Have you asked?

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I really haven't... well practiced it since. I should probably start again though.

[[Since Jason went drone of course.]]

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

I can't teach, but I can spar.

[She looks at him.]

The swords have to be wooden.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah!

[[He's not going to spar with a metal sword... He's pretty sure that'd be a mistake.]]

I actually have one. Jason, Shana and I worked on them. It's not pretty but it works.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

[Big one, especially with her.]

I can look at its form. [The sword, anyway...]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not great but it's the best I could do considering I know nothing about swords.

And if you don't end up having the time to spar, don't worry about it. I'm not too sure anythings going to come of it anyways.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

I have time, but our skill level difference is too great. [She's honestly not trying to put him down: merely stating things as they are - to her, at least.] It's up to what you want to do.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Jason and Shana both out class me with a sword too.

I don't think I am really going to find a lot of sword fighting for dummy books here so I'll take what I can get.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Books are useless. They may describe forms, but you learn and improve by practice. [She's speaking from experience.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

I don't even think they'd have books on sword fighting here.

I agree on the practice part though. It's just going to take some time.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

There were tomes back home. [There's a faint nonchalance in her demeanor.

And nod in solid agreement to that.] I can try to instruct. If you want that, tell me.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Then yes, I'll learn from you.

Hopefully I'm not too bad.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Give your time and place. I want to see your wooden sword first, too. [Looks like she'll end up having to craft one herself... but it'll give her something to do.

She's okay with this.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Okay, umm... do you want to practice early?

[[That's what he did with Jason a little.]]

Like an hour or so before having to leave for school? And I'll bring the sword over tonight or something.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Okay. [It's not so much that she likes the time that it was simply as good as any to her, and he suggested that first. Going to sleep late, getting up early - these all used to be widely varying factors for her until she got here. A mercenary isn't paid to keep a sleep schedule, but to get the job done. If she needs to get up earlier to get some practice in with someone else, then she's more than fine with it.] Where?

It's 338 Brady Lane. [Her house, anyway. The responses may be short, but for once, she does actually seem like she's in a good mood.]

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

[[Aaron has his own sleeping issues, so late nights and early mornings are typical.]]

We can do it in your back yard if that's fine. I don't want to pester my fake dad here too much, he's kind of grouchy.

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

My assigned father is also skilled with swords. He won't mind.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh, who is he?

[crimson-flashed.livejournal.com]

Legault. [...] He's from a world more similar to mine.

[pants-yourmove.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. I guess that makes sense.

So I'll be there. I'll bring the sword and see what I can learn.
