Fifth Duel (Video)

[misplacedxsheath]

As I'm sure some of you have already noticed, Caliban's location changed last night. Given recent events, I'm left to wonder if that's all that's changed about our infamous "dungeon". I'm planning on making another excursion into Caliban's depths, but for that I'll need people.

Anyone who's interested should reply with an idea of what sort of role they would fill in an exploratory group. I'm not necessarily looking strictly for combat oriented people. Healers will also be necessary if we're to last a significant amount of time in there and people with abilities geared toward information gathering, while not a requirement, would still provide a distinct advantage. The only real requirement is that you not be dead weight. I'll make sure that people with non-combat roles are protected, but this isn't a training expedition. Don't expect me to give special treatment if you can't pull your own weight.

Depending on how fast recruitment and preparation goes, I'd like to get this over with some time within the next two weeks. The exact date will depend on all of you.

[He hates to say this, he really does hate to say it.]

That... is actually a pretty good idea. Something has shifted here and we should probably find out exactly the lay of the land that we're on now.

*Hearing you forced to agree with him is music to his ears, Kukai.*

If you agree, I hope you intend to do something to be of use in the effort to understand what's changed.

Just consider this an open offer of my services. I'll let you decide whether you want to deal with me or not.

*There's a pause as he mulls it over before he replies.*

The more people we have, the longer we'll last. That said, too much argument would be our downfall. If you think you can keep quiet and not question my directions without very good reason, you're welcome to come along. Otherwise, the problems would outweigh the benefits.

[namedforcat]

I'll only argue with you if you say something absolutely stupid.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

Considering I actually have a functional brain, you shouldn't have cause for complaint, then.

*Not that he can name any people who don't have functional brains, like half the Federation.*

[Gaignun would agree with that sentiment. Forever.]

Good. Besides, we managed not to kill each other last time.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

*Everyone can agree that the Federation has more faults than the Ring of Fire.*

Indeed, though you'd better not be expecting to out perform me so easily this time.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Of course not. You have your persona now, I assume you've more then caught up to me.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

I've put forth a certain amount of effort toward improving her abilities, yes.

[Video]

[puppet_show]

My Persona is capable of analysis, and I'm a decent shot with a handgun if it comes down to that.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Glad to hear it. I would have been worried about your health if you hadn't.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

How touching. I'm sure the news that I haven't been bedridden is of great relief to you, in that case.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

You up and about means that there is a better target for the shadows wandering around other then the people who don't know what they're doing.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

Could you handle a position of the combat oriented members of the group looking to you for information on where their attacks will be of the most use?

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

And I assume you're providing the same "service" as well?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

I try, but I'm better at long range.

[Video]

[puppet_show]

As long as I'm not under attack myself, there shouldn't be any problems.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

What happened to that reputation for selfless generosity of yours?

[Video]

[namedforcat]

It's still there. I take the shadows out before they see the other people. It accomplishes the same goal. [The 'only in a more smart way' is left implied.]

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

As do I, but since I so obviously provide more of a target, I draw out Shadows that you would be more likely to overlook.

*The accusation of cowardice is also left implied.*

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

I'll protect the non-combatants personally if necessary. You don't need to worry about that.

[Video]

[namedforcat]

Perhaps, but charging in head first is very rarely the best of ideas. [STFU you're acting like Jr]

[Video]

[puppet_show]

Then you won't need to worry about being unable to find the enemy's weaknesses.

[Video]

[misplacedxsheath]

Then isn't it a good thing I always make a point of being aware of my enemies before entering a battlefield.

*Only smarter.*
