King's Mulligan [Interactive Project]

Tiles: Hmm..

Tiles: Just a quick question?

Courier: Yes?

Tiles: What kind of sword *are* you?

Courier: What do you mean?

Tiles: Built like a clubbing tool on one end, those serrations are akin to those of a parrying blade..

Tiles: And there’s a possibility you may be a rather large bread knife.

Courier:.. I do like the idea of kitchen work..

Tiles: Is that a thing? There must be something you enjoy while existing purely as a sword.

Courier: Not in particular, I just.. Like being me like that sometimes I suppose?

Courier: Like being allowed to lounge in just shorts and a loose shirt is the best comparison.

Courier: Casual.

Tiles: That makes sense…

Courier: It’s nice to be in the hands of pretty swordsmen too sometimes but.. That’s just me.

Tiles: Do I classify as such?

Courier: I would say so, at least as far as your kind go?

Tiles:... Pick your next words wisely.

Courier: It’s not what you’re thinking, just…

Courier: I am a being of a drastically different standard of biology from most of our group. Though I can take up residence in a body closer to yours, I’m about as similar to you as a tree.

Tiles: Does it make interacting with people weird?

Courier: No…. does make me easy to bully probably.

Courier: Lashy’s like me too in a way.

Lash: I suppose that’s true…

Tiles: Really?

Lash: Mmhmm! Well… less so.

Lash: My true face is well…

The eye her necklace seemed a little embarrassed.

Tiles: Cute though.

Courier: Isn’t it?

Lash: My nature is as a extension of aspects of my source.

Lash: I’m my own person, but in a way that branches off…

Courier: Aye..

Lash: Have a bad habit of running my mouth though. Styx has a tendency to… keep his reservations on many things. I’m a little more willing to express them which..

Lash: They are my own feelings just as much as his as they are mine but..

Lash: I have to pick and choose sometimes. Because I know he’s upset if I’m too transparent.

Courier: You’ve got right to express.

Lash: Mmmm..

Lash: As the term implies, anything I do is an extension of him by Proxy.

Lash: Have to say, surprised he didn’t offer you to create one.

Tiles: Does he usually?

Lash: Mmhmm.. At least when his pact gives you as much as he’s done.

Lash: Really just sweetener after sweetener for less than he usually asks.

Lash: If I know him, he’s probably thinking in two spaces.

Tiles: Those being?

Lash: He wants to take the load off of Gallows. Even he’s feeling how overworked that poor rabbit’s body is at this point..

Lash: And he’s prepping to jump host if Gallows becomes unable to maintain work on the frontlines.

Tiles: Doesn’t seem the type to want to be there in the first place, Styx.

Lash: No.. But hitching a ride with someone who can is generally preferred.

Lash: Powerful, but not much of a fighter..

Lash: No point in making contract with a host who has what you already do.

Tiles: Hmmm..

Lash: I wouldn’t mind but..

Tiles: Which one is it more likely.

Lash: It’s both.

Lash: The latter being an extension of the former, though he doesn’t want to admit it.

Lash: He loves being seen as a bit of a heel.

Tiles: You’re talking a lot about him but… you?

Lash: Well..

Lash: Hmmm..

Courier: Are you shy?

Lash: No. I just… don’t really know what to say more than that?

Lash: I maintain the castle, I take care of clients, and I like to read during my break time..

Lash: It’s not really a proper job as much as something to pass the time.

Lash: You get bored in that castle very quickly actually..

Lash: I wouldn’t be opposed to more visitors so I’m a little excited about this..

Tiles: I welcome the offer.

Lash: G-good! Yes, good..

Lash: I spend time with Courier, Gallows, Motley…

Lash: I’ve gotten to know Creme as well!

Lash: She’s so sweet… does need comfort often though. I’m glad we got her out of the mirror..

Lash: Do wish she was with us for tea right now, she’d love that I'm sure..
