Endless Blade Waltz; Rebirth RP Thread!

[Guest]

Another night in the faux Inn... The man, covered in his brown shroud, sat across from you and the rest of the people from the day before, and he began once again.

 

"Back again today, I see..."

 

The man looked around at those seated, a faint cackle escaped from his throat. With no less than the arrival of the first round of drinks, it started again.

 

"Our story starts with some young lads and maiden's, dancers and fighters, grace, and brutality."

 

With that, your mind melted away, the images of multiple people began to float in your mind as the world around you, this inn, seemed to almost vanish...

 

"Our first scene: In the school grounds, midday, the students have been let out for lunch break..."

 

Day one: DNA of the Heart

 

 

Midday, Year 278, ENDLESS

 

The sun hung above the school of barbarians and entertainers quite lightly this day. One could only dream of such a nice day to be outside, the sun was just right, it smelled of Spring, fresh grass and newly-bloomed flowers peppered the air in their unique smell, the near-by lake shimmered  in the sunlight. A day like this was not one to be spent in a classroom, so when that bell rung, not a soul, not even the faculty could resist such a glorious day. 

 

At the center of the school's inner grounds, a fountain sat, water gently bubbling out of the faucets at the top. A blade and a ribbon, sculpted in stone, sat atop this fountain. And soon, student's decorated the benches near by. Chatting, eating, the like. Some of hem hoped to go for a quick swim in the lake before class started again, others were just genuinely glad they were able to smell the fresh air of the out doors as they sat on the cobble stone floor in the quad....

 

The lake, many called in Fluorspar Lake, was in the wide open, save a few oak trees in the landscape, providing shade and a spot for a swing, and the small cliff overlooking it which many a person dived into. The shimmering, clear water showed the fluorspar gemstones that could be found in its sand....

 

(Alright! So, for your starting post, you have either the choice of the School Quad, or the Lake to start at. For sake of ease, when entering an area you do not know much about the appearance of, put some sort of mark to indicate this. Something like a "..." or a dash will do.)

[Stardustblade358 806]

"Go to hell!"

"I'll see you there!"

"Stop copying me!"

 

Those were the last words the twins said to each other before going on their separate ways. The two would always get compliments about them being twins, how much they looked alike, and how strange it was for both twins to end up going for the same academy as dancer and fighter. However those who say these things are equally as confused as why they aren't each other's partners. Rune walked right into the School Quad, and sat right by the fountain's edge. It was a gorgeous day. He took out a large box and opening it, showing off that it was filled with chocolate truffles. Not much of a lunch, but it was the only thing that Rune felt like eating. "Stupid, stupid. As if he can control me." Rune muttered under his breath as the delicate looking dance shoved a chocolate truffle into his mouth. His brother could drown on the lake and he wouldn't care. "Whatever, I don't need him anyways." Rune spoke, thinking out loud as he took another bite of the chocolate truffle.

 

Runa  stood by the lake. Another fight with his twin. Would this ever end? He knew that his brother would continue the annoyance. He had even tried to spit at him, knowing that it could easily burn him! He would just have to forget about it and continue on. Not much he could do about it. If either of them were to get hurt their parents would be devastated. They were brothers one way or another. He looked out at the lake, enjoying the serenity of the moment. It was lovely. It was moments like this that reminded him that the world was a pretty place after all, and that through his brutal strength he could have some fun...as long as he wasn't setting things on fire by accident. "(Maybe if I was a dancer I'd be able to control my friction, but I'm not...but that won't stop me now will it?)" Runa thought as he sighed.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Arriving at the Inner grounds of the school and feeling the fresh air and calm atmosphere of the place brought a smile in Hector's face, as he walked around a bit, taking in the surroundings, walking around with his cane did bring the attention of some students, who laughed and chuckled at the sight, comments about its usefulness in battle and the reason for him to use it were common, too common in fact. But he never paid any mind as he simply tugged his tophat in greetings to whoever it was that he aproached.

 

He quickly found however, Rune, sitting by the fountain, figuring something had happened, Hector was good at reading people's expressions and tones, so he decided to approach him and sit beside Rune, "Is something the matter Sir? forgive my saying but you seem trouble" he asked Rune, ignoring the chocolate truffles.

 

Meanwhile Alexander was at the lake, sitting down by a tree overlooking the lake, reading a book, with his halberd laying on the tree beside him, with his usual clothing. "Aaaah, the peace of this lake is always refreshing...good to finish up this book" he said as he was indeed at the last pages of it as he overlooked, it was his usual spot, he'd come here sometimes when he had some time to spare, although he didn't mind the commotion of the school grounds, he preferred some time in a peaceful place sometimes.

-Lake-

 

Oume sat at the lake hoping to get peace and quiet until he started to hear two people arguing, 'Man... Is it really that hard to find a quiet place?' He has been at this school for awhile but never really wanted to talk to anyone. He has had quite a lot of stuff happened to him, but is afraid that people will worry more about the scars and bandages than anything else about him so he tends to stay away from people. He knows that sooner or later he will need to find a partner, but he would rather it be later rather then soon because of that fact. He finds a nice tree to lean up against away from the two arguing and sits back down to enjoy some food,  and the crystal like lake in front of him.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Rune was about to take another bite of his chocolate truffle when he noticed the young man sitting by him, asking in concern. He blinked a few times. "Oh boy, was I talking out loud again?" Rune asked rather innocently. He hadn't noticed himself. But since the young man had been so kind to ask in concern, he didn't see the harm in answering. It would be rude for him to not to. "Ah, I'm fine. Thank you for asking though. I appreciate that you show concern to my ranting. It appears I have been thinking out loud again. Do forgive me if I have bothered you with it." Rune said smiling as he turned back to his chocolate truffles. "I was just thinking about my twin. We fought again and now I can't stop thinking about the fact that I didn't had a good comeback to win the argument!" Rune said in a rather annoyed tone. He shoved another chocolate truffle into his mouth, and spoke in a mouthful. "He thinks that I am a bit to carefree and that I should take things more seriously. That my dancing needs to be more brute too. Can you believe him? What does he know! He's not a dancer! He's a brute that sets his bed on fire if he isn't careful!" Rune breathed and sighed, smiling before dramatically resting his head against the stranger next to him. "Sure I'm not the strongest of dancers but no way can he criticize my dancing itself! I'm good!" Rune stopped, blinking a few times before looking up at the stranger innocently. "Oh it appears I've been ranting to you about my problems and I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Rune. Brother of Runa. Who are you?"

 

Runa gently took off his shoes, holding them in his hand as he walked closer to the shore of the lake. He looked down and submerged his feet into the water. The moment contact happened, steam started to rise from where he stood, watching the water evaporate due to his high temperature. He sighed, backing away as he took out the feet out of the water and knelt down to watch the soft waves. The water was so clear you could see right through it. He could see the fish swim around. They weren't very big. "I bet you guys don't have an annoying brother they have to watch over huh." Runa said as he spoke to the fish. Today would be another long day. He could feel it in his bones already. "I hope Rune isn't causing trouble again." Runa muttered as he stood up. Both the twins had a thing to set things on fire accidentally. Rune by his dancing, Runa by dozing off and touching the wrong thing at the wrong time. He got his shoes back on and glanced around, taking note of the students around the area. He noticed one of them was reading a book. He couldn't help but to be curious, tiptoeing his way to take a closer look.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

"It is no trouble, after all we're students so it is natural we watch out for each other" Hektor said with a normal and calm tone as he heard the rest of Rune's explanation, 'A twin? interesting, now I can't say I don't understand fighting with siblings, I have had some quarrels with my siblings back at home...' he thought to himself as he then heard more explaining and ranting from Rune, to which he paid no mind, he had time to spare and had nothing to do anyways, without showing annoyiance or getting bored by the rants or the fact that Rune spoke with his mouth full of truffle, which annoyied Hector, but he was used to dealing with these things, as Rune stopped his rant and finally introduced himself, Hector paid no mind to the fact that Rune rested his head on his shoulder, or the fact that the man was hot as if he was having a fever.

 

"Hektor is my name, Hektor Danner, and as for what you said, your brother is in no place to criticize how you dance, as you said he is no dancer, nor should he criticize you for being carefree, people are free to be anything they want, and do what they want accordingly." He said with a calm and strict tone as his expression remained unchanged, serious but at the same time relaxed, "I can speak from experience as its normal for siblings to argue, I have had many quarrels with my brothers and sisters, but we would end up forgetting the reason for the fight soon after." he commented about his experiences with his siblings back home, "So you are a dancer?" He asked politely.

 

Alexander kept reading the book, called Eternus, which told the story of a boy who was granted immortality, and told his adventures accross the land, and the sadness that it is to outlive those you care about, it was a nice tale, whish interested him greatly. Alexander however could feel someone coming, tiptoeing to be precise, he didn't know the motives. "Alright I know you're there, whoever you are, what is it?" He asked with a plain tone.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Rune smiled and stood up, striking a pose as he answered the question. "Yup! I know there aren't many male dancers around, but that makes me one of the best around!" Rune said with confidence, giving a small twirl before throwing another chocolate truffle into the air. He gave a few steps and a graceful spin, before catching the truffle in his mouth. "You understand the importance of respecting someone's individuality, Hektor. I like that. Ah thank you so much for hearing me out, I feel so alleviated now." Rune said. He felt like wanting to dance as to give a thanks, but he feared he would be so excited some fire would end up coming out, harming anyone around, so he went against it for now. He took a good look at the young man before continuing, sitting back down as he calmed down. "You're so well dressed, though. You definitely must be a dancer!...or...a Fighter?~" Rune asked, wishing to know more about this Hektor guy.

 

Runa paused, now deciding to walk normally was he walked up behind the tree where the man sat. "Ah, forgive me. I didn't want to disturb your reading." Runa said as he smiled a bit, looking down. "I just saw you reading a book and I got curious, but I didn't want to interrupt, so i thought maybe I could just happen to take a peek of whatever book it was. Forgive me. That was very rude of me." Runa said with a slight chuckle. He wasn't good at stealth as it was. At least he was better than his clumsy brother. "U-Um, I'm Runa, by the way. Please don't confuse me for my brother, the dancer, that's Rune." Runa said as he looked down back at the book. "What kind of book is it?"

[Cam1949 21]

Oume saw plenty of people of different people which scared him a bit, especially people that knew each other. There were two people that he saw who never conversed before next to the tree and was unsure if he should meet them or not. "I could just say hello and introduce myself... I don't really have any friends but, do I really want to converse with more then one person at a time?" He asked himself. He felt his bandage, and also knew that if he didn't talk with people he would never meet with a dancer in which to become partners with them. He would stand up but then sit right down again, almost like he was tied to the ground, as well as do something like argue with himself about talking to them. In the end though he thought it would be best to leave the conversing to those people who want to talk to each other... Again the felt his bandage and thought to himself, 'Besides... Who would want to talk to a one eyed guy like me. I am pretty much half blind at this point, and has an awful blind spot.' So he sat there looking up at the sky periodically looking across to see if they were still talking, to try to get his mind off of them he started to polish his blades and felt the sun through the leaves and the soft and gentle breeze to which he fell asleep.

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Hektor gave a small chuckle at the pose Rune gave afterwards, with a small smile on his face Hektor simply looked, simply giving a small "heh" and a tug on his tophat as Rune thanked him soon afterwards, as Rune quickly sat down again, from trying to dance but hesitating to do so, for good reason probably since if his brother would set thing ablaze by accident, maybe Rune wasn't so different, Hektor had his doubts but didn't really say anything about it. 

 

"Well...I thank you for your compliment about how I dress, as for you question...I am a fighter, believe it or not" He said holding his edge cane up, before simply holding it on the ground, he now held it in his hand as he showed Rune, "As you see...I am an unusual type of fighter, as you are a unusual type of dancer as I see it" Hektor said in a strict and calm tone, before chuckling, "Sorry to disappoint" he commented.

 

 

"No problem, Im almost done with this book anyways" Alexander commented, it really wasn't a thing to be concerned about, he didn't mind others speaking to him when he read books, he quickly got up to face Runa, who had just introduced himself, "Runa the fighter eh? Name's Alexander, also a fighter, relaxing by the lake as well eh?" Alexander asked, as he heard Runa's question about his book, "Well, its more of a drama tale, although it has its share of fighting, pretty much, the character is immortal and has to see himself outliving all of his loved ones, but living on to defend his hometown from the evil force that is crawling ever nearer" he commented, He then looked at Runa for a second, "So what type of fighter are you? sword? axe? what?" he asked.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

"Yes, both quite unusual. A male dancer and a crippled fighter." A slightly sarcastic tone entered into where Hektor and Rune were talking. Syfe walked towards them, smiling to the both. "That is some nice worksmanship on that cane by the way. Unique as well. Danner family right? You have good blood in you, may it guide you. And you, my dancer friend, you I can tell you have quite a bit more to you than many of the fragile as a dandelion dancers around here." Syfe said, quickly judging and complimenting both of them. "My name is Syfe Neyelmnik, fighter extraordinaire. Lovely to meet both of you." The blue-haired youth introduced himself.

The soft and cool touch of the lake was a welcome feeling upon Alyssa's toes. She was dancing in the shallow edges of the lake, and feeling quite content while she did so. There was a slight crowd nearby, watching her, enraptured, but she was unaware. The Dancer was completely absorbed in the world of her dance, working her body like silver. She breathed steadily, tuning herself to the frequency of the world around her. Alyssa needed this right now, this rejuvenation. 

 

Rija strolled by the lake, enjoying the breeze as it blew through her hair. She had her hands stuck deep in her pockets, simply to feel the familiarity of the jacket. It was her father's, lent to her when she went away. It was well-made, and had lasted him through more than one battle, that was for sure. She glanced up to take notice of her surroundings, and caught sight of a boy with a bandaged face, sitting all by his lonesome. She smiled to herself, and walked over. "Do you mind if I take a seat here?" She asked him, standing above him, waiting for his answer.

[Cam1949 21]

He heard a voice, opened his eyes, stretched and looked up at a girl standing over him shocked and a bit upset that she was talking to him. He looked around to make sure that there was no one else around and again to his surprise there was no one around him. He looked back up at her with an angry look and asked, "You know it is rude to wake someone up, especially someone who... Anyway, why do you want to sit by someone like me?" Looking back at the lake and continuing "I'm not special... Just a nobody with scars that will never vanish." He said to the girl grabbing his left arm tightly with his right, not sure what else to do.

""Extraordinaire" and "cocky prick" are vastly diffrent words." Derik butted his way in, leaning on Syfe and biting into an apple. "Though, I love the bravodo." He chuckled, taking another bite out of the crisp apple, a harsh "crunch" could be heard from the skin being bitten into. A moment later, the rest of the apple, save the core, was devoured in a most grotesque mannor. Between chewing and swallowing, Derik stole a bon-bon out of Rune's package and consumed one as well, and swallowed a can of juice. "Ah! Plenty good food today, eh?"

[Stardustblade358 806]

"Disappoint? None at all! I'm actually impressed! Most of the fighters I know, such as my brother, are known to be more brute and physically rough. It's nice to see variety around!" Rune said with a smile, looking at his cane. "To be able to fight with that cane," Rune chuckled a bit. "Oh now you're just teasing! I'd love to see you fight one day. I want to see how you can kick butt with your cane, while still looking like a gentleman." Rune said with a sincere tone, never once stopping his smile. However, another fighter caught his attention, both complimenting them, and judging them right on the spot. "Speaking of the devil." Rune muttered, as he referred to when he spoke of rough fighters. He couldn't help but to smile at the compliment given, however. "Well, my dancing is quite exotic some say, but not as exotic as when I am able to dance while on fire." Rune said, almost teasing. "But it's rude for you to call him what you did." He said, referring to the cripple mention. Then another, this one criticized the other fighter's attitude, and took one of his truffles. Rune quickly picked up his box, defensively protecting his remaining truffles. "Yes, good food." Rune said almost sarcastically. He looked down at the truffles and shrugged, offering one to the self introduced Syfe. Might as well share. "I'm guessing you're a fighter too. I'm Rune. You might know my twin, Runa."

 

"Sounds like a great book, to be honest." Runa said smiling. He wasn't much of a fan of reading, but he did enjoy hearing stories. His imagination sometimes would go wild as the story was told, it was unavoidable. "I'm a two-handed sword fighter." Runa said as he slightly turned, showing the sword strapped to his back. It was easily almost as big as he was. He then turned, resting against the tree trying to look cool. "So, what's your name, and what kind of fighter are you?" He asked. He then smelled the smoke coming from where his arm rested, seeing that his skin was already burning the surface of the tree. He quickly got his hands off it and blew on it, waving the smoke away. "Um..." He cleared his throat. "You saw nothing."

"Ah, you're Runa's brother. I was hoping to one day meet you, your hot headed brother, though not the brightest, fight's very well!" Derik grinned. "He is very, weak compared to a lot of people, might have to do with that sword he caries. Either it compensates for his muscles, or for something else..." Derik laughed, knowing full well if he weren't speaking to a dancer he would be getting decked at that moment, he just lived it up. 

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

"Ah Yes, syfe, I've heard about your fighting prowes, it is an honor to meet you as well" Hektor greeted syfe,  and soon enough they were greteed by yet another man, this one rude and uneducated, which Hektor didn't show any annoyance towards but it was there a bit, "Greetings" Hektor greeted the new conversation member nonetheless.

 

Hektor had a small smile and left out a chuckle as Rune told Syfe about his earlier comment, "I took no offense by it Rune, it is not the first time i've heard that comment, I walk around with a cane for a weapon so its only natural." Hektor said in an ever polite and calm tone as he looked at Syfe as he then saw Derek delivering some critics on Rune's brother, Runa, he took a moment to talk with Syfe, "Well, you use a dual blade of sorts don't you? its also very unique, you too have good blood in you." he told Syfe as he then looked at Derek and Rune.

"What better at breaking an inpenetrable defense than a heavy sword or a hammer after all? while skill may be important the weapon type does come into play as well" Hektor commented in a strict and calm tone as he then looked at Derek, "You sir are Derik Absolon are you not? a respected fighter as well, what weapon do you utilize?" Hektor asked.

 

 

"I see, the power type" Alexander commented as Runa asked him the same thing soon after, "Well..." he said as he went to pick up his halberd sitting by the tree, picking it up and showing it to Runa, "Im a halberd fighter, rare as it may be, Name's Alexander by the way, it is nice to meet you." he introduced himself as he helt his halbed upwards with its butt on the ground, noticing Runa almost setting the tree on fire. "Right...just don't go setting the forest on fire, that'd be troublesome." Alexander said chuckling a bit as he looked around the lake, noticing some new people, specially a beautiful dancer dancing by the lake, he noticed also a crowd looking at her. "So what brings you to the lake Runa?" he asked, still looking over the lake now.

[Mystics Apprentice 2,397]

The weather was perfect and beautiful in Shela's eyes.  The wind was cool and light, the sun sparking brilliantly overhead.  The young woman stood alongside the lake, fully decked out in her armor, sword in hand.  Her fingers gripped the leather handle of her blade tightly as she adjusted her helmet with the other hand.  Without friends or family Shela had little to do with her spare time, except for perfecting herself and becoming the very best swordsman that ever lived.  Or woman, rather.

 

So, there the blue-haired woman remained, swinging and jabbing her sword at nothing in particular.  Sometimes she imagined fencing with her father again, or a dragon, or perhaps one of the dark knights that took him away before murdering him brutally.  Shela never again wanted to be weak and defenseless, or see another individual suffer.  She remained there in her idle practicing for some time, until she heard the protests from a man to an unknown source.  Shela turned, observing the lake momentarily until she saw a bandaged man sitting under a tree, telling off a young girl who had approached him.  A slight frown furrowed Shela's brows as she sheathed her sword and strode over to the two.  Her tall shadow looming over them was perhaps more of an indicator of her presence before she spoke: "Is everything alright over here?"

"Ah Yes, syfe, I've heard about your fighting prowes, it is an honor to meet you as well" Hektor greeted syfe,  and soon enough they were greteed by yet another man, this one rude and uneducated, which Hektor didn't show any annoyance towards but it was there a bit, "Greetings" Hektor greeted the new conversation member nonetheless. Hektor had a small smile and left out a chuckle as Rune told Syfe about his earlier comment, "I took no offense by it Rune, it is not the first time i've heard that comment, I walk around with a cane for a weapon so its only natural."

Alexander said chuckling a bit as he looked around the lake, noticing some new people, specially a beautiful dancer dancing by the lake, he noticed also a crowd looking at her. "So what brings you to the lake Runa?" he asked, still looking over the lake now.

"Dual-blade, thin straight sword and curved blades in particular. Strange as it may sound, my fighting style naturally complements such choices. However, I've been known to wield a claymore or a long sword of some breed on occasion. I notice your cane, and instantly it brings up the elegant fighter Hektor Dannor, of the Dannor family. Though I'm told I'm a bit of a brute, I hope I am a pleasure to talk with in this short time, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Derik concluded his statement, and opened another can of drink, emptying it quickly into his gullet. "Manors were a thing my family tried to teach me of importance, but I'm the rainbow sheep in a pack of black lambs." He crushed and threw the can into a receptacle.

[Arya Stark 1,337]

Syfe glanced to Derik, his smile persisting. "There's also a difference between dumb neandarthals and over-developed monkeys, too bad you're both." Syfe retorted, his tongue sharp. He figured Derik would laugh, considering they were both smiling and neither meant any true malice. He also nodded towards Hektor and Rune. "The cripple remark was indeed, just a joke, but apologies if you took it seriously." Then came Hektor's answer. "Which, I can see you did not. And yes, I happen to use a dual-blade of my own design, which latch together at the pommel to form a double-sided lance of sorts. A bit on the odd side, but it incorporates both fighting disciplines I learned." Syfe answered, always happy to explain his weaponry. He was proud of it after all, not many others would have the creativity or skill to wield such a thing.

"Now, you're just being crabby. Sorry for waking you up. And besides, you must be special if you  made it here right?" Rija replied to Oume, and his insistence that he was a worthless nothing. She glanced to Shela, and shook her head. "No ma'am, no problems here. Would you like to join us maybe? We're just talking." She proposed to the swordswoman.

[Stardustblade358 806]

Rune gasped, getting his hands on his hips the moment he heard the man tell off his brother. "Now then! I'll have you know only I get to insult my twin and get away with it!" Rune said rather seriously. Not that he cared that much for his brother. He just wanted to have the feeling that he could tell him off and not get the living crap beaten out of him. It was the one thing that made the relationship bearable. He closed his box of treats, getting it away as he watched The fighters interact. Claymore, Dual Blades, Specialized Canes, he was starting to feel bad that his brother wasn't around. He would love to be around these people, sharing stories and comments about techniques and so on. "You're all have strong weapons and all, I'm kind of jealous to see that you're all so strong! My strongest weapon is my dancing and my hips, how cruel can the world be~" He said, sarcasm flying out of his mouth along with the words. He smiled however, enjoying the moment currently. He had yet to be assigned a fighter as a partner as far as he was concerned, he might as well start knowing some of the options. "I feel so honored being around you guys, I could dance for your entertainment if you want. Anything to make my bro jealous."

 

"Right...I try my best..." Runa said embarrassed. He still set the bed on fire, having to use a fire blanket when sleeping. The twins both had problems their own way. His brother couldn't kiss someone without accidentally scalding their lips with his saliva. He himself couldn't hug someone without them crying out that it hurt. "Well, I'm around here to relax. I just got into another argument with my brother, so I decided it would be best to have our lunch break separately. So I came here to re...lax..." Runa said, trailing off as he felt his heart skip a bit, catching a glimpse of the dancer who danced by the lake. She was gorgeous. Absolutely stunning. "Relax...I mean...wow..." Runa muttered. Were Rune to be around he would have yelled at the girl saying something along the words 'Hey cutie!' along with a wolf whistle, then hide to make it look like he had done it just to get him to talk to her. Thank goodness he wasn't around. Rune was more outgoing. Runa had trouble talking to any pretty girl. He felt hypnotized. "Do you...I mean...wow...you think she has a partner yet...?"

Rune gasped, getting his hands on his hips the moment he heard the man tell off his brother. "Now then! I'll have you know only I get to insult my twin and get away with it!" Rune said rather seriously. Not that he cared that much for his brother. He just wanted to have the feeling that he could tell him off and not get the living crap beaten out of him.

"Thanks for the offer, but I'm not one to watch others do their thing unless they're teaching me something. I'll stay reguardless, however."

Syfe glanced to Derik, his smile persisting. "There's also a difference between dumb neandarthals and over-developed monkeys, too bad you're both." Syfe retorted, his tongue sharp. He figured Derik would laugh, considering they were both smiling and neither meant any true malice. He also nodded towards Hektor and Rune. "The cripple remark was indeed, just a joke, but apologies if you took it seriously." Then came Hektor's answer. "Which, I can see you did not. And yes, I happen to use a dual-blade of my own design, which latch together at the pommel to form a double-sided lance of sorts. A bit on the odd side, but it incorporates both fighting disciplines I learned." Syfe answered, always happy to explain his weaponry. He was proud of it after all, not many others would have the creativity or skill to wield such a thing.~~~~"Now, you're just being crabby. Sorry for waking you up. And besides, you must be special if you  made it here right?" Rija replied to Oume, and his insistence that he was a worthless nothing. She glanced to Shela, and shook her head. "No ma'am, no problems here. Would you like to join us maybe? We're just talking." She proposed to the swordswoman.

"Hey, at least my party tricks work better than yours." Derik replied, giving off a laugh. "One of these days they aught to let us spar. Would be fun."

[Scrapmaster 1,731]

Hektor remained silent as Derik and Syfe explained their means of fighting and about Syfe's dual blade, as he heard the small argument between Derik and Rune, "To each their own" He commented about Derik's manner and about how his family tried to teach him, beofre turning to Syfe, "Well...as for my Cane, I use the 'threaded style' a style of fighting used by my family for generations, it involves strikes with finnesse and speed, the cane can be used a sword and as a rapier, and my family's armory varies from sword that turn into dual daggers to a more advanced type of cane that can turn into a bladed whip, there is variety indeed." Hektor commented about his family's crafstmanship and weapons.

 

"Such is all dancer's dances" Hektor commented on Rune's comment about his weapon being the dance, "A dancer can be just as devastating as a fighter if he specializes that way, I deeply respect the dancer's school" Hektor said with a calm tone and a small smile, "And I doubt there is anything to be honored by, we are all students here, respected family or not, but i appreciate the respect" he explained to Rune as he turned to Syfe and Derik, "Ah spar yes? that'd be interesting, i'd like to see it...or take part in it." he said with a calm tone.

 

 

Alexander was looking at the woman dancing at the lake (Alyssa) as he chuckled as Runa commented about her, "I don't know, but wishful thinking right? how about we go there?" he said with a smile as he started to walk over, "So Runa, you have a brother?" he asked as he walked.

"Now, you're just being crabby. Sorry for waking you up. And besides, you must be special if you  made it here right?" Rija replied to Oume, and his insistence that he was a worthless nothing. She glanced to Shela, and shook her head. "No ma'am, no problems here. Would you like to join us maybe? We're just talking." She proposed to the swordswoman.

"I'm sorry if I were being crabby, this is just the first time I started to get a good rest in a long time... If you want to sit down you can do whatever you want, I won't stop you." Oume said to her. Under his breath he added, "Those people... I will take revenge for burning my families house down, giving us no place to live." He noticed the other girl walk up to them, and the answer the dancer gave to her, deciding to give an answer as well he said, "I guess not."

Rune watched intrigued. Though he wished to dance, the mention of a possible spar payed him more mind. "I would love to see a spar if you guys are willing to give it a try. I can be the judge. The winner will receive a dance from me!" Rune said, giving off his care free attitude around. Watching people fight for fun was always exciting, especially when there were bets involved. He usually didn't had luck at bets, however. His brother did.

 

Runa walked with Alexander as his attention was caught with the mention of his brother. "Yes. My younger twin. Rune. He looks exactly like me, except I have longer hair, and I actually worry about the consequences of taken actions. He's a dancer. But we don't get along as well as she should, so we aren't each others' partners." Runa explained, a scowl escaping his lips as he could picture Rune teasing him of any given matter. Such as wetting the bed, even if that was over 10 years ago. "He's a good dancer. He's just...too carefree. He doesn't think ahead. He lives in the moment. He'll even forget to eat if not reminded so. I feel sad for the poor sucker who has to deal with him, despite his good dance moves." Runa said with a small smirk, the two reaching over to the dancer. Runa smiled, once again charmed. "I bet she isn't as careless as my brother." He said, almost breathlessly.

"I hope that the dance comes with more of those things you were eating before. As bad as it is, I have a very severe sweet tooth." Derik stated plainly, laughing and stretching his joints out. "I've hardly had a warm up yet today either, so this might be fun. So, do you two wanna go against me? Or would you rather all verses all?"

[Arya Stark 1,337]

(We really going to do this?)

 

"All against all. Wouldn't have it any other way." Syfe said confidently. He walked a few steps away, and pulled out his swords. He clicked them together, and spun it slowly. He glanced to Rune. "I'll be waiting for that dance." He said. The blue-haired youth glanced towards both of his opponents. "Ready whenever you guys are." He said curtly. Hektor was going to be quick, and with that cane of his, he was the biggest threat at range. But if he got in close, then he might be able to overwhelm him, especially if he used dual wield style. Derik on the other hand, was practically the opposite. He was a huge threat up close, but was a bit slower. He was also bulky and strong, to the point that trying to beat him using lighter quick attacks would be pointless. He'd be better off being on his guard or keeping him away with bladed lance. In any case, this fight proved to be an interesting premise, if nothing else.

"Thank you." Rija replied thankfully to Oume. She sat down next to the bandaged boy, and relaxed against the tree. She looked to him, and found him very intriguing. "So, tell me. How'd you get here?" She asked politely. She was interested, simply because, well, because he was an interesting looking fellow. The Soldier looked straight at him, expecting an answer.
