[OOC] Blood Act I~ Ghosts of the Past

[Rtron]

'Well, you see, that is why they made the crossbow. Lovely little invention. You see, it fires a stick with a metal tip at high speeds through your hypothetical Orc. Killing pretty much everything. And why can't we? You and Mar are already tougher than me, so what's one more?'

[Lucius Cypher]

"Hypothetical orc here! You better make that shot count, Athalus. Most orcs can take one to the face. And they usually have friends who won't take kindly to someone poking their friend with sticks, if you catch my drift."

[Freeshooter92]

'Yeah, that's what all the crossbowmen I fought thought too, right before I jammed an iron spike through their faces! If you don't learn how to fight, how are you gonna save her from the hypothetical dragon! YOUR REFUSAL TO FIGHT ME IS INDIRECTLY KILLING YOUR DAUGHTER!'

Alaira firmly believes that if you can't solve a problem by punching it, the only other solution is a training montage.

[Lucius Cypher]

"The only way to do it. LET'S GET DOWN TO BUSINESS!"

[Rtron]

Lucius Cypher said

'You. You're not helping.'

'Yes, but they just stood there! I'd be ducking, weaving, barrel rolling...When in the name of all the Gods are we going to fight a Dr-....That's cheating and you know it. Pulling that card on me...*grumbles* Fine. I'll spar with you.'

Lucius Cypher said
*MULAN FUCK YEAH*

Called it as soon as you said the beginning of the song.

[Lucius Cypher]

"Here are two six-foot long poles. I'm going to put them between you two, and you two are expected to get to it before the other. Sparing continues until first blood. Begin!"

"All right! First lesson, taking a punch! I'm gonna start punching you in the gut, and when you can take a punch and not fall over, we'll move on to the next one! Oh, and if you dodge I'll kick you in the groin instead!"

Hard to argue with balls out insanity, is it?

[Lucius Cypher]

It's not insanity, it's logic. And for this to be a proper montage, we need to put Athalus to various grueling training practices all within a three minute song. So to the next drill!

"I have a row of Archers who will be shooting at you. You need to run across this open field with random traps hidden in the ground and not get hit. Don't worry, there aren't any tips on the arrows. Can't say the same for the traps. FIRE!"

[Rtron]

'Nonono. I said spar, not become your punching bag. You know, spar. That thing where two people fight without killing one another, using their best abilities to win? Kind of like what hypothetical Orc is saying. And you assume you'll be able to catch me to kick me in the groin.'

To be fair, he was doing fine until she cheated.

"Think of it like this, I'm the sculptor, and your the block of marble. And the only way I can chisel you into a work of art is to punch the shit out of you."

"YOU WANT TO PROTECT LYN? TAKE YOUR ASS BEATING LIKE A TRUE FATHER!"

[Freeshooter92]

And to think, this will happen again in a few years. With Lyn taking Alaira's place.

[Rtron]

'You know what? I'm just gonna go. You two can...out insanely punch each other.' *Takes a step back. Then turns and runs for it.*

[Lucius Cypher]

"When that time comes, I'll bring the bolt cutters."

[Freeshooter92]

Lucius Cypher said
"When that time comes, I'll bring the bolt cutters."

"SEE?! THIS IS WHAT I MEAN! I CAN'T STOP THIS SHIT BY MYS- Err, I mean I NEED YOUR LAZY ASS TO DISTRACT THEM!"

[Lucius Cypher]

"See Lyn, this is how you interrogate someone. First you cut off their hands, and than burn it at the stumps. They will die very soon, but if you let them think they can live if you help them, they'll be much more willing to talk. Since you saved their lives. And if they don't talk because you cut off their hands, wrap this rope soaked in oil around their necks. Make sure it's tight that it won't fall off, but not too tight that it chokes them. If they don't tell you anything, burn the rope as it's around their neck. They'll start saying something real soon. Now, here is a prisoner. Show me what I've taught you."

[EliteCommander]

I need to figure out something to do now, I suppose. Other than collabing that first post in the side story with Lucius.

[Lucius Cypher]

Um... Damn, I don't know what you can do. Let me PM some missing people, see if I can't get them to put something up.

[EliteCommander]

Don't worry, I'll figure something out. I have an early day tomorrow, though, so I'll be going to bed. Goodnight.
