hello.

i have several questions for the outsider populace and i require truthful answers.

1. what are your abilities in battle?
2. what is your estimation of your skill with your own abilities?
3. who are you?
4. what was your proudest moment?
5. what was your weakest?

answer as you see fit. i’m not your boss.

[ this isn’t how one goes about making work acquaintances but it’s direct, it’s simple, and choso can’t be bothered to care if it meets industry standard. ]

i am curious

[icyspicy]

Awfully intimate for mere curiosity.

Why don't you go first? I'm not a big fan of giving something for nothing.

[gimu]

fine fine
my proudest moment was seeing my brothers for the first time.
my weakest was the moment i felt them both die.

[ what better way to break the ice than to detonate it? ]

[icyspicy]

[ holy shit no kidding ]

Oh, you jumped right into the deep end. Not going to answer the rest while you're at it? I don't even know your name.

[gimu]

[ choso stands triumphant(?) in a flattened plain of social graces like a meteor in a cornfield. ]

you only alluded to the last two questions. if you want more, ask.
equivalent exchange.
for instance, i am choso.

[icyspicy]

Choso, then. I’m Winter.

And I suppose I should have clarified: all of your answers, for all of mine.

[gimu]

winter tentacle. interesting.

ok.
1. blood manipulation.
2. i am confident in my mastery of my art.

[icyspicy]

Someone clearly thought they were being clever. Anyway—

1. Magic. Some damage, mostly utility and status effects.
2. I believe myself to be very proficient.
4. Joining my guild.
5. Picking the guildmaster's pocket.

[gimu]

1. what manner of damage? for instance, your preferred mode of attack.
2. that's good.
4. nice.
5. nice.

[icyspicy]

Force damage, if that means anything to you.

[ The "nice" and "nice" with literally no follow up is so funny to him. Somewhere in some corner of the base, Winter is having a good laugh. ]

[gimu]

interesting. i'd like to see that in action sometime.

[icyspicy]

From what I’ve been told about this place, you’ll likely get a chance sooner rather than later.

[gimu]

that’s fine.
battle is as good a time as any to analyse someone’s technique.

[icyspicy]

I'll be sure to make a good showing, just for you.

[gimu]

i'll be watching. [ ominous ]

[icyspicy]

Spooky 👻
