(April 21st-24th)

Wow, happy reunion. You lost some, you gained others. Two of them are meatheads. Awesome. Give them shit to carry since you don't have any horses. Once you've all made acquaintance and had tearful reunions and UST encounters, it's a good chance to sleep in for the night. It's a very deserted city so you can sleep peacefully.

When the sun rises then, time to tie your shoes and set off to adventure! Hurrah! Tumbataure's season three premiere!

[Mission: No more lazy! Decide what to do and pack your bags, you're back with the fellowship. LOTR walk montage. I bet you missed that.]

[cabineyes]

That's a relief.

I suppose I couldn't put up much of a fight like this.

[ referring to his shitty look. he has seen better days. ]

[risebeyond]

[ scoffs and picks up the heaviest bag effortlessly ]

You would stand no match regardless of state. You may unclench asshole, I have no interest in clashing iron with you. [ ur pitiful ]

[cabineyes]

[ ur rude. just smiles and looks at the bag. ]

Oh, leaving us so soon?

[risebeyond]

I am merely preparing, in case we need to depart with haste. Your little woman said there are underwordly beasts prowling.

[ he doesn't trust any of you to stand guard anyway so ]

[cabineyes]

[ his little woman. haha. doesn't correct him. ]

That might be smart.

However if nothing turns up you'll have to stand around waiting for a long while because we have not decided on the course of action yet. These things always take time. A lot of it.

But of course, handling that bag must be like nothing to you.

[risebeyond]

I do not need your fake concern, pirate. [ nearly spits out the words and towers over him.
i'll squash you ]

Do you not have your wounds to attend?

[cabineyes]

[ oh he saw through it. maybe there's a pea-sized brain rolling around inside his little skull after all. but feel free to tower over him all you want. he doesn't exactly care. ]

In fact I was wondering if you could do it, mate. You must have experience.

[risebeyond]

[ you know muscles doesn't mean stupid.

but hook seems to have offended! critical hit! ]

Do I look like a wet nurse to you?

[cabineyes]

[ it's your fashion sense that screams stupid here. ]

I'm not aware how wet nurses appear in your world, but you must have treated a fair share of injuries yourself.

Or could it be you have not lost once?

[risebeyond]

[ fucking gladiator ]

[ grins at him and picks up the sword, looking at it as if analysing and then looks back at him ] I can give you sample of what wounds the arena inflicts. Then perhaps I can help you and put you out of your misery.

[cabineyes]

[ that doesn't exactly count as helping. ]

You would strike an unarmed man?

[ oh right. lifts the hook. ]

This is merely for show.

[risebeyond]

Do you wish me to give you sword?

[ do u think it'd change the outcome of this match. ]

[cabineyes]

[ he hadn't drawn it. that counts as unarmed. tilts his head as he watches him with a calculating look in his eyes. ]

You may reach out and take a hold of it if you want.

[ we both might enjoy that. ]

[risebeyond]

Do you wish to die today, pirate? You are no match for a gladiator. Turn to your woman's gowns before I tear cock from thighs.

[cabineyes]

Ah, no. I no longer seek death. [ afraid so. sry to disappoint. ]

I was only trying to be... generous since you are new to this group and all.

[ there's plenty of him to go around. ]

[risebeyond]

If you do not seek it, then make sure you know how to fend it off.

[ drops the bag near his shit and turns to him ]

Being new to a group means nothing to me. I do not need help to prove myself.

[cabineyes]

That's right. You're doing an excellent job so far.

[ picking fights with literally everything and everyone. ]

[risebeyond]

[ he's not picking fights y'all just fucking sissy

scoffs slightly ]

I have yet to show you.

[cabineyes]

Let's leave something for later, eh? It's only your first day.

[ if he hadn't turned a new leaf he'd cut your neck in your sleep. ]

[risebeyond]

[ sits on the bag and looks at him, leaning forward on his knees ]

As I said, I do not care for your concern. It is better fit for the weak willed that ran from quest.

[cabineyes]

Well, no matter what you think of me, I find myself admiring your spirit. It seems like you are not one to give up.

[ he's being honest. high time they got someone like that. ]

[risebeyond]

Only cowards give up.

[ seizing him with his eyes. definitely a coward. ]

[cabineyes]

Aye, that they do. Those unwilling to fight deserve every punishment they get. That's something we can both agree on.

[ not a coward. not even on his crazy gladiator standards. has been on the same quest for like 300 years. ]

[risebeyond]

We shall see if words befit action one day soon, if the Gods favour us.

[ blood will be spilled ]

[cabineyes]

We shall see.

[ you crazy bastard. winks at him and leaves him to his weird gladiator thoughts. ]
