The hand-and-a-half sword, TsuMeTai's chosen weapon. Also known as the bastard sword. Forged to be wielded one- or two-handed, for versatility, speed, and power. Earlier, with the monster, he had held it in one hand. Now, both hands were planted firmly on the hilt.

A quick stab to one player, then the sword was ripped out and slashed at another. An overhead slash towards a third, leaving all three in the red zone. Glancing around, TsuMeTai saw that the one being bullied had made use of their distraction to escape. Heh. Good for them. He also saw that each of the bullies were in the red zone. "Cin." He called. "What do we do with them?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen her fight yet." Kip shrugged, then paused thoughtfully. "I do know that she has good aim with a sandwich." She gave a kind of combination grin/smirk thing.

Sheathing her own sword, Kip offered an apologetic smile. "Sorry 'bout that. Monsters don't always travel alone, so I got used to readying my blade when I heard one die." She gave a kind of one-shoulder shrug; sometimes it could be a false alarm, but during the beta test, that habit had saved her life multiple time.

A half-smile quirked one corner of Niamh's lips. "Of course." Straightening, she stepped away from the wall and drew her own blade. "Rules?"

@Apollosarcher Well, go ahead! Maybe after Seth and Niamh duel?

Although he wasn't entirely happy about it, Lonan had joined the army at his master's insistence. Thankfully, his master had joined as well; however, as a powerful sorcerer, he wasn't always there. This was one of those times. Having been left to his own devices, he had taken a book of the history of the dark arts and settled down in a corner to read. His mage robes had been altered for greater practicality, and his Flux tome sat next to him, ready to be used; all in all, despite his reading, he was probably the dark mage most ready for combat.

Turning a page, Lonan did his best to ignore the others in the army. Some were gossiping, some were arguing, some were keeping to themselves like he was, but the dark mage wanted nothing to do with them. Even if he did, he would have no clue how to go about starting a conversation. One thing he had learned was that very few people were as interested as he and his master were in the theory of dark magic. Best to keep himself separate.

Niamh was in the army because she had been hired, plain and simple. One thing that amused her, however, was the amount of people who had heard of the Swordlady and were in awe of her. One of the downsides of this, however, was that few were bold enough to speak to her, which led to her current situation: leaning against a wall, sword sheathed, bored out of her mind. If only there was someone to challenge, someone she could test her blade against.

TsuMeTai's lips moved in a silent snarl. He, too, hated bullies. "Oh, I'm with you, all right." Doing a quick check on his status, he brought himself up to full health before glancing at Cin. "You ready?" Without waiting for an answer, he dashed off towards the group, knowing that his friend would be able to catch up in no time.

"Go ahead, Iris. PM me if you need help." Kip gave a half-smile. She was confident that the other girl could take care of herself, if she was volunteering to scout ahead.
Then she heard the same sound as Mai'lo. As a beta tester, her reflexes for such things were more highly developed than some newer players. She, too, spun towards the sound and grasped her sword, drawing it quickly. As she saw the archer walking toward her, she pointed her sword towards the ground; not threatening, but ready.

Sorry for poofing, everyone. Halloween for my family means that we go to Grandma's house. Add that to last-minute shopping and play rehearsal, and Halloween was pretty busy for me.~ And of course, to top it off, my Grandma has terrible wifi. But I'm back now!

Everyone's accepted - go ahead and jump in!

Whenever Cin backed off, TsuMeTai darted in; when Cin attacked, TsuMeTai jumped back. Between them, they were keeping the monster on it's toes. It was a good thing that he had been working on his Str and Spd stats; he could keep this up for quite some time. All too soon, the monster was gone, disappearing into sparkling lights. "Ready for another bout?" He grinned at Cin.

"I guess we're leaving, then?" Kip shrugged, checking to make sure her weapon was equipped and ready before following Sapphira.

"Thanks." TsuMeTai decided to try out the shield, equipping it and watching materialize in his hand. It was sturdy, but not overly heavy; he drew his sword, trying a few practice slashes. A single nod indicated his satisfaction. "Shall we play?" He shot a grin at his companion and sized up the monster. "We can take this one." With that, he dashed forwards, landing a hit on the monster before blocking its attack with his new shield.

Most of the time, I watch subbed. There are a few things, however, that I like better dubbed; Sorcerous Stabber Orphan (because I like the English voice actors better) and Howl's Moving Castle (because Billy Crystal as Calcifer is amazing) come to mind. I absolutely refuse to watch Detective Conan dubbed, though: Jimmy Kudo? Really? Besides, the Japanese voice actors are better.
