[S] Perrix: Coordinate.

[callouslystalwart]

You are again PERRIX SEIYOS.

Now that things are a bit more calmed down after you managed to get into the game proper, you decide to take a break from constant STRIFE to gather some very important information. See, you're only vaguely familiar with most of your fellow PLAYERS. Even out of the ones you know, you're not terribly familiar with their level of COMBAT PROWESS. Your own COMBAT PROWESS is quite honed if you say so yourself (and you do. Often.) but as this will clearly be very important to the GAME at hand you decide that it would be helpful to take stock.

Yes, you think it is quite time that you all GET DOWN TO BUSINESS. To DEFEAT... The HUMANOID NPCs.

-- callouslyStalwart [CS] RIGHT NOW opened memo DUELOGRAPHICS. --

CS: It occurs to ~me~ that while fighting is clearly a key aspect of this game... ~~CS
CS: Some of you may not be versed in the art of altercation as ~I~. ~~CS
CS: Therefore, ~I~ think it is of the utmost importance that ~we~ identify ~our~ roughhousing resources. ~~CS
CS: ~Our~ group's DUELOGRAPHIC, if you will. ~~CS
CS: So. ~~CS
CS: Who of ~us~ can fight? ~~CS
CS: How well? ~~CS
CS: For those that can't, ~I~ suggest ~we~ put together a crash course on clashing. ~~CS
CS: To begin, ~I~ am more than capable of both handling ~myself~ and teaching others. ~~CS

I am not unfamiliar with the arts of strife.
I have, at the very least, been doing fine so far, and would be happy to assist others.
Though, my personal area of interest has largely been more in the realm of strategy and tactics.

[callouslystalwart]

Hirune! ~~CS
How good to see you again! ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

You are still not entirely sure HOW HE GOT INTO THIS. Then again, it's not like your team was OVERFLOWING WITH MARTIAL PROWESS. And you're tired of people dying.

It is something of a relief to have a full team once again.
I imagine you've been doing well so far?
This sort of thing strikes me as being your kind of... thing.

[callouslystalwart]

It most certainly is ~my~ sort of thing! ~~CS
~I~ daresay that ~I've~ been flourishing so far! ~~CS
From the sound of things ~I'm~ less of a reinforcement and more of a ~rescuer~ here, really. ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

It's one of those things where he has not done anything necessarily WRONG, but you still want to STRANGLE HIM ANYWAY.

If this game actually does create a new universe or whatever you are going to do your VERY BEST to OUTLAW SMUGNESS in it.

Oh, really.
Do tell.
Is fighting imps a nice change-up from fighting other trolls?

[callouslystalwart]

Quite! ~~CS
~I~ was a little disappointed by how weak they were at first, but their numbers more than make up for it. ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

Let me ask you a question.
Do you value anything for something other than how good you'll look while killing it?

[callouslystalwart]

Of course! ~~CS
~I'm~ not going to kill everything, that would be irresponsible and silly. ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

Oh, irresponsible and silly. Yes, of course. That's precisely why killing everything would be wrong.
Well, I suppose if there was ever an exercise that you were made for, I imagine it was killing imps.

[callouslystalwart]

~I~ do appear to be rather good at it, don't ~I~? ~~CS
But ~let's~ back up for a moment to what you said there... ~~CS
So you admit that ~I~ looked good in the video, do you, Hirune? ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

Don't read too much into it.
Although perhaps I am at fault for a lack of clarity in my phrasing.
It's just that it's altogether too obvious in your actions that you want others to praise you for them.

[callouslystalwart]

And why shouldn't they? ~~CS
~I've~ made more progress than over half of ~our~ team combined, displaying great skill while ~I'm~ at it. ~~CS
It's not a demand, nor an unreasonable expectation. ~~CS

[austereastronomer]

Progress is well and good.
Respectable, even.
I simply find callousness... distasteful.
