It’s easy enough to see what matters. And fights for show never escalate in the speed department beyond what people can register. At least not for long.

@Valiance

So we’re not talking about an arena as large as a country.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Watching something on TV is way different than being there, part of the event, in the atmosphere.

@Valiance

Even if there’s too much space to actually see anything?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Yes. A large colosseum with enough space that I don’t need to totally hold back. And cameras.

@Valiance

If they’re using cameras, where’s the fun of the colosseum?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’s a big reason. Nobody would watch any spectator sport if it wasn’t impressive to see to some degree. Combat with people on our level-
*Motions back and forth between us before picking up my fork*
You can throw around a few flashy attacks with pretty colors and it gets people all riled up.
*Starts eating, albeit slowly*

@Valiance

*Drinks half of my water before continuing, much more quickly but with some attempt at elegance*
Is this in some kind of arena?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Fighting for an audience.

@Valiance

Just because it looks impressive?

She doesn’t eat. I’m also eating, as a show of good faith, but I’ve got to admit my appetite is a bit ruined when I have a big old wound that’s just outside the window of being called “fresh.
*A stereoholographic disc scoops up the other plate from where Chickpea prepared the food and floats it over to the table in front of me*
But as for me? I get a real kick out of my work. I professionally train people and I fight in the entertainment industry. Beyond the fighting and training though, I’m a sucker observing things, and absorbing as much knowledge as I can about broader Existence after being holed up for years has been fascinating.

@Valiance

*Closes my eyes and takes a deep breath before I start eating*
What do you mean by the entertainment industry?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Nods in acknowledgement*
Very respectable. And very cool as well, it’s gotta be said.

@Valiance

So what about you?

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

You’re welcome! I’m going to divert attention to some other tasks now, but feel free to shout if you need anything!

@Magnanimity

Are neither of you eating?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

And are you a specialized huntress, or more of a generally skilled one?

@Valiance

For entertainment? It’s general, and I don’t let the target go to waste.

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Turns around and slides a plate onto the counter in front of you, holding one single, very thick piece of meat cooked evenly, speckled with a green leaf of sorts and doused in a dark sauce*

@Magnanimity

...Thank you.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Alone, distinctly not with any sort of ship or plane?

@Valiance

With wings. Sometimes alongside hunting.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

That’s a lot of involved hobbies. When you say flyer, do you mean of ships, planes…?

@Valiance

As of late, yes. But I’ve been flying alone for much longer.
