[Video | Seelie Locked] Rule 2

[prissykid]

[Joshua appears to be out in the courtyard. As always, he's relaxed and casual. However, he also seems thoughtful.]

A calm before the storm.

[It seems like he doesn't realize he's said this aloud, as he moves on without further comment.]

Well, since it seems to be of greater necessity now than over the past year, I've given some thought as to alternate weapons I could use. I've been able to narrow it down to magic and archery. [His smile is almost sardonic.] I'm afraid I don't have many, or any, of the qualities necessary for pursuit in close combat weapons. On that note, I also wouldn't object to learning how to more effectively utilize my shard, especially since recent events indicate that we may have more of a need to learn.

[Joshua has an avid interest in keeping himself alive, thank you very much. He's also not stupid enough to think that he'll be safe from combat situations.]

Oh, and before I forget! I have one, teensy little thing I'd like to know. I love fiction books as much as the next person, and I have something of a passion for history. I'd like to take some recommendations on what are good books to read. With luck, I can see about reading them in Caer Glaem's impressive library.

[...Yeah, because history books are totally considered "light reading," Joshua.]

Alternatively, I also like to hear about the latest gossip.

[He gives a little wave before signing off.]

Comments

[prissykid]

[Sorry, Leo, not even Joshua can help you with this.]

Oh, how scandalous! And also sounds something like a Panic! At the Disco song.

[Or your typical country-pop song.]

Well, I hope their engagement lasts...if those rumors turn out to be false.

[commandertoolbelt]

[ He snorts. Hadn't thought about it like that, but... ] It totally does. Too bad they wouldn't get the reference.

[ Is he still going to spout random lyrics at them? You know it. ]

You never know with these guys. The dwarves want everyone to think they're all being productive and awesome and reclusive up here, but let me tell you, they get up to some weird stuff up here. And I've only been around for, like, two weeks.

[prissykid]

It is quite the shame. Ah, well. At least some will appreciate the joke.

[He raises his eyebrows.]

I suppose it's only natural that they'd want that reputation among the rest of the world. Should I remain blissfully ignorant or is it worth inquiring about their 'weird stuff?'

[commandertoolbelt]

Maybe I should take some of the fairies to the Station and make them listen to a few tracks. They can learn how to make it play and start a tribute band to play all over the Drabwurld. They can call themselves Fairies! At the Disco.

[ Because Panic! In the Drabwurld would be just too real. ]

No, trust me, you don't want to know.

[prissykid]

Ah, but would it be fairies or imps who would make the better tribute band?

[Way too real, bro.]

Then we'll say my curiosity is satisfied, though I'll be sure to keep it in mind if I ever pay a visit to their city.

[He probably won't, though. Too far away for him to go just out of curiosity.]

I suppose I should also introduce myself, since the lockets don't list the name I prefer to go by. I'm Joshua.

[commandertoolbelt]

Now that you mention it, the imps would probably do a lot better with that kind of music. But Imps! At the Disco just doesn't have the same ring to it, you know?

Hey, if you do visit, I'll point you in the right direction. Just don't ask me to get in on it. Noooo thank you.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I'm Leo. Nice meet you.

[prissykid]

I'm in complete agreement. Although, Fallout Imp does have a nice ring to it, if they're going to fight us in a pop band war as well.

[He is the most amused.]

Hee hee, I'll keep it in mind, Leo. Maybe I'll also ask you for recommendations on what to shop for as a souvenir, too.

[commandertoolbelt]

Fallout Imp is pretty good, I have to admit. They're going to have to kick it up a notch if they want to keep up with us, though.

[ And Leo totally wants to be there for the battle of the bands.

He laughs. ] I'll make sure to give you a heads up when they open the city to visitors again. I think they're still working on updating the gift shop's inventory.
