I was working on my post but I got distracted by my brother: he wanted to play some Halo Anniversary. I'm back and finishing it now.
PS: we had a blast. Literally, cuz we had the 'bigger explosions' skull activated.

Well, this week has been one of those 'you think its one day later than it is' weeks for me, for some reason. Yesterday I thought it was Friday until I checked my watch.
I don't think you showed us that video, Fox, but I have seen it. Cute, but gross.

Kinda crazy to realize we've been at this for almost half a year. This is the longest RP I've been in, and definitely one of the best.
On the topic of my post, the 'Lendrian bow' looks something like this, though Ray's best foot is his left, as he is a lefty. Also, just google 'duckfoot pistol' and you'll see what Ray means. I think it looks like something a child came up with, but was actually used, which makes it sad.

The crew went into town with a twofold purpose: to find Luro and enjoy everything the town had to offer. And it certainly had a lot. Though Ray was eager to make fun of Luro's forfeit for a variety of reasons... What's the matter Luro, had enough of hitting girls? Or were you getting too sober to shoot straight? ...he was rather easily distracted by the sights, sounds and tastes of the festival. And the beautiful young dancer who roped him into doing an unfamiliar dance. It certainly wasn't a waltz, but Ray got the hang of it in record time, swaggering his hips in time to the music, much to the amusement of his crewmates. They only stayed for so long, and Ray reluctantly left the dancer with a gentlemanly kiss to the hand.
By the time they found Luro, all Ray's rancour towards him for being cheated of a fight had evaporated. He was with Alicia, and she was sharing the prize money. Ray was rather touched by her magnanimous gesture and smiled. He stepped forward to introduce himself. “Miss Tashigi, I must say its as much a pleasure to meet you in person as it is to watch you fight in the arena.” He put his good foot forward and bowed in the formal Lendrian style. “I am Raymond Skalter, a companion of your former opponent Luro, and singularly impressed with the way you handle a blade.” He flashed a debonair smile and would have continued chatting her up if he hadn't noticed something sticking out of Luro's sack of guns.
“What. Is. That?” He asked with a disgusted look on his face. He reached in and pulled out what he feared he saw. “Is this a duckfoot? You actually bought a duckfoot pistol?” He shook his head. “I... Just....” He struggled to find the right word. “It's just so... ugly. And dumb.” He tossed it back into the pile of weaponry. He reached into his coat and pulled a bottle of rum out, took a swig and tossed the bottle to Luro. “Anyway, congratulations, you sot. Here's your consolation prize for second place.”

Well, less a 'silver lining' than a lucky break.
Well, it gave me time to get my post in, so... silver linings?
Ray blinked. It was all over and he missed it, and it took him a moment to register that it wasn't because he blinked. He would have figured it out eventually, but the announcer
The announcer continued, but Ray didn't hear it over the disappointed shouting from the fight fans; the most virulent of it was coming from his own throat. “Luro, you pigeon-eyed, stripey, nimtopsical snake seeing tosspot! I wanted a fight you vulcanized sot, and instead you bugger off to get phalanxed, you poleaxed, potulent, pickled, palintoshed, piss-eyed, paggered peelywally! Pah!” Ray sat down in his seat, exasperated. Nolan asked him if he wanted to join him for treats. Calmed down now, Ray shrugged. “Eh, why not, though I'd prefer a drink.” He rolled his eyes and thought, Maybe Luro had the right idea....
Announcer said "L-...Ladies and Gentlemen. It appears we have a unanimous decision... One that has never happened in the history of our tournament.... But, um, Luro Makachi has forfeited his chance at the prize. He gave up $20,000...to go get rum!"

@Winter, the song you picked for Ray is perfect. When I listened to it, I got chills. And it also falls under the 'epic' category of music I like. 11/10 will listen again.
Inspiration enough to get working on a post. :D

My music preferences:
I like 'epic' music: anything that gives you chills from hearing it, and usually best in certain contexts (like video games). I also like Metallica and Muse, though I haven't kept up with their recent stuff. Overall my tastes are a bit eclectic, including dubstep, classical music, TV and movie soundtracks, to stuff that's really old and takes 10 minutes to sing 6 words. And lots of video game music.
Ultimately, if it sounds good to me, I like it. Although that's not really saying much.
Also, thanks for all the well-wishing yesterday. I am better now. Just need to combat my lazy-itis.

I woke up with a headache but it's receding now that I've taken an aspirin and gotten (part of) my caffeine fix for the day. We have no caffeinated soda in the house and the iced tea pitcher is being washed, so I was really jonesing there for a bit. All in all, could be better, could be worse.
I don't feel like posting today because I'm lazy we have time, and cuz I'm not feeling the best atm.
