King's Mulligan [Interactive Project]

[ThreadLurkingComorant]

You look the stranger directly in the eye, taking a moment to step back to gain some safe distance, and raise your weapon. 

???: Ah, combat? I suppose that makes sense, a knightly looking person would be good at sparring. 

Tiles: Of course. It’s pretty kind of you to look out for newbies, hope not to disappoint. 

???: Likewise, keep it clean shall we?

Tiles: Mm, may I have a name?

???: Fielder, and you?

Tiles: Tiles.

Fielder: Wear your family name as yours… good. 

Fielder: Loyalty to yourself is a value people don’t appreciate enough I don’t think. Yer interesting for certain.

Fielder: Protect your pride. 

You take up a balanced stance. 

Fielder starts approaching. 

Fielder: Walking is always a free action til you’ve managed yourself in lancing range. Don’t commit your swing without a follow up, lest you wish to be punished fatally. 

Tiles: The principles of fighting. 

Fielder: Exactly. Commence.

Kolita: Had a bit of a thought.

Anura: Oh?

Kolita: Things go and warp while they’re in this world right? Does that include our weapons? 

Anura: It would! Your character considers her weapon part of her, down to her mirror missing an arm cause her lance broke. Pretty smart catch honestly. This world can accelerate physical growth drastically since it’s hard to become hulked out over a few days or master skills in general. 

Anura: Some of it's good for you, some of it comes at a cost. You know how it is.

Kolita: Is clinging onto family pride something that might change that? 

Anura: You really like that part of the character huh?

Kolita: Little bit… resonates. 

Anura: Not surprised honestly, you look the type. Anyway you’ll see soon enough.
