[Flora is very clearly outside somewhere, and the smile she greets the network with is sunny.]

Hello everyone, I am Lady Flora, one of your Marchionesses of the White Citadel! But just "Flora" is fine.

We're in the midst of a lot of training right now, and I'd very much appreciate your input on some exercises, specifically features for obstacle courses or training constructs. Anything from easy to borderline-if-not-actually-lethal is fine! Rings of fire, pits of barbs, vine traps, swarms of durable killer bees...I won't say the sky's the limit, but there are a lot of things we can do, here!

[Her voice is still rather calm, not rushed at all, but it's just a little higher with excitement. At any rate, she looks entirely too happy to be talking about death traps. But then she would be]

If you fly too, that will not be a problem. As for constructs, I can grow or make all sorts of enemies to practise fighting against. I'll modify or mix it up, of course, otherwise everyone would know what to expect from them. I am also personally available for sparring or training. If you have any questions about anything at all, please do not hesitate to ask them!

[Something explodes rather loudly off-screen, and blue, shimmering smoke blows behind her. Her chin tilts as her eyes track something up, up, up...up.

Up.

She adjusts her glasses and looks back to her compass with a bright and sunny smile.]


That will be all! Thank you very much.

[Her eyes once again flicker upward before the feed cuts out.

(ooc edit: Hark, a long ass post.)]

You can make enemies?

[This is a completely new one on him. He's been training his crossbow aim in the mountains, where he's decided to stay, and he knows how to deal with fire and whole lot of traps, but artificial enemies???]

[Okay, he's never had to deal with swarms of bees, either.]

Can someone make ah... something like smoke bombs for insect swarms? They tend not to do that.

Mostly I prefer to learn things away from organized obstacle courses. It is too easy to see what to expect. But if you can give me fake people to hunt down, it will be something to do.

Is these people probably going to use bees against us?

[He is confused and using his English and probably going to be expecting bees and locusts with all his might.]

[His idea of normal has taken a few punches to the face, so he can't really throw stones.]

Niko Bellic. I'm from the Balkans on Earth. [His accent is probably not as identifiable here.]

In my experience, war isn't usually something to look forward to. But I will have to learn to cope with bees and lightening and flying horses and whatever.

I can make traps that don't involve magic.

[...what exactly was he watching, here? Gilgamesh isn't quite sure whether to be surprised or impressed. Maybe a mixture of both. It takes him a moment to find the right words, and even then he still sounds a little uncertain.]

Rings of fire? Killer bees?

[His face. It's like it's melting off his bones in disbelief.]

You were hiding this side of yourself all along, weren't you? Sadist.

[personal profile] babbylon 2015-08-15 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't believe you.

[Though he's retreated to just teasing now, flashing a grin at his compass in turn.]

I don't believe you could conjure anything that could challenge the likes of me, I meant. So you shouldn't resort to false advertising.

[personal profile] babbylon 2015-08-16 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Gilgamesh just sort of stares, baffled.]

Come again?

[You tell him the world does not, in fact, revolve around him and in the same breath expect him to believe it? Flora, please.]

[personal profile] chromosomes 2015-08-17 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Right, but- how? Like what are the differences?

[ Because they're killer bees, Flora. ]

They won't hurt the native population of bees or- whatever else they might hurt?

[ is he going to have to go mercy kill starving native bees ]

You've done this before.

[What with the way she gets incredibly excited over ridiculous obstacle courses and near-death experiences.]

How's your skill with water?

[personal profile] transmarine 2015-08-16 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[He knows what it's like, Flora.]

Maybe we can help each other, then. I fight and train mainly underwater.

[ Though Nico had mentioned Marchionesses Flora for something completely unrelated, it was the reason Asami's interest is immediately piqued when she sees that she's made an announcement. And..

...is subsequently a little surprised. Death traps? Is that really what's being suggested here? ]


I...had no idea you were so creative, Lady Flora. [ BUT she wants to make a good impression! ] But I do have some background in structural engineering, if you're looking to set up obstacle courses.

[ With more conventional materials, but Asami is more than happy to improvise.

Except for the killer bees part. She ain't touching that with a twenty foot poll. ]

[ She supposes that the construction of something with the use of magic would make it easier, but she really can't say from experience. Offering to help is important to her either way, though she would be curious to see how it's done. ]

Oh, so you do these sorts of...training exercises often?

[ Which would make sense. War and all. ]

Asami Sato, thank you. [ She gives a slight bow of her head. ] I have to admit, it's not the same market here as back home, but I try to be useful if I can.

[He's here mostly to tease her.]

Miracle of miracles: you've bucked up and admitted to your title.

What did you blow up?

[Too bad, time for a bit of teasing.]

Just try not to make anything too fatal, Marchioness.
