[Game 21] Summoning

[arsgoetia]

For some of you, this may be a familiar feeling. For others, it's a new sensation: a tug, a pull, suddenly finding yourself slipping between the cracks and opening your eyes in someplace that was not where you were a few moments ago. It feels like getting tugged into someone's embrace: warm, a little exhilarating.

As for where you find yourselves:

It's a tidy, well-kept garden in the backyard of a small house with yellow trim. The house is a little run down, but immaculately clean and well-kept. It's a sunny day, and there are literally pies cooling on the windowsill.

There is a red-haired boy standing on the rooftop, looking down at everyone with his hands outstretched. One moment, he seems very calm. The next moment, it's sheer panic.

"Oh???"

... I can fight that person for you, if you like.

[monere]

[omg]

You think that would work?

[onelastknight]

Well, I am usually summoned to fight.

[monere]

[i mean she knows that feel but]

There are like, a lot of big unknowns about the adversary here, though? Rushing into things might be a bad idea.

[onelastknight]

I suppose. In any case I don't know who I would be looking for, or where I would go to fight them if I did. I simply thought I would offer.

[monere]

It'd be nice if we could just go straight to the issue, but most the time it doesn't really work out that way.

[onelastknight]

Unfortunately... I'll defer to the judgement of those with more experience, then.

[boatsights]

Please . . . please don't.

[onelastknight]

If that is what you would prefer.

[boatsights]

[this is a weird group]

He's . . . very strong.

[onelastknight]

I am also quite strong, although as you certainly have more experience than I with this particular enemy, I will defer to you in this matter.

[boatsights]

He's . . . mm. One of the strongest beings in this . . . world.

[onelastknight]

I understand. I won't attempt to engage him directly immediately, then.

[beginningofwisdom]

[almost thoughtful]

...it would be a pleasant change to fight at your side, this time.

[onelastknight]

[ i'm being told no so I guess, none of that ]

Although it seems that perhaps I would need to gather more information first.

[beginningofwisdom]

[well, maybe someday]

Hopefully, more will be forthcoming. If nothing else, this mysterious person will likely be motivated to oppose us.

[onelastknight]

If our task is to make them easier to defeat, then certainly it will draw their attention...

[beginningofwisdom]

I would certainly imagine so.

[onelastknight]

[ but what if i want to knightly duel the bad guy huff ]

Well, I'm no stranger to waiting.

[beginningofwisdom]

The better to be prepared when we do engage him.

[onelastknight]

[ I mean you know from my fight vs Rider that 'wait and prepare' is not how king arthur does things but ] So it would seem.

[beginningofwisdom]

[it's a caster thing though, so]

Perhaps the journey will reveal more.

[onelastknight]

I imagine it would have to, at some point.

[beginningofwisdom]

Hopefully we'll have time for a few preparations before we set out...to eat, as well.
