Who: Uchiha Sasuke+YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Jan. 31

A few things.

There are a good number of fighters here or people otherwise trained in combat. I'm interested in observing people's abilities or training, or at least discussing what they can do. Spars could also be arranged if you want some exercise.

Secondly, I'll take recommendations for good literature available around here.

Finally, if you know how to knit or crochet then I'll offer you up to ten credits to watch you create something.

[ Yeah, this isn't weird. For anyone interested in action he'll be holed up in his room on the Huntress! ]

I'm just asking because stuff like that is knitted with a machine. So it's harder to take apart to use without cutting the yarn into pieces.

Doesn't anybody else around here have yarn?

Chara does. I'm negotiating with them now.

Oh?

[ Brb, stalking that. Because it's someone she actually doesn't know. ]

Are they going to show you, then?

It's seeming that way. All I need is a glimpse; you know that.

I know, I'm just asking.

[ You know, just to clarify if she's still needed for that. ]

As far as the rest of that goes, you might need to be a bit more clear about what you mean by "good" literature.

[ She doesn't address the sparring thing. She's pretty sure he wouldn't be interested in taking her up on it, and she can't really think of anyone who would appreciate having Sasuke sicced on them. ]

[ 'Sicced' is harsh. ]

Why? Do you think someone is going to recommend Icha Icha Paradise?

[ Because fuck that. He seems to be privy to her thoughts, however, if his next text is anything to go by. ]

You're unwilling to spar?

[ JUST THE FACTS, FRIEND. ]

Some people seemed to be enjoying it. I don't know if I'd trust them to recommend me a good book, in general.

[ ... That's a little creepy, but. It's Sasuke. ]

I didn't say that.

Then they don't understand good characterization and slowly developed plot lines.

Make a statement on it one way or the other, however. Either you want to fight or you don't.

That's what I'm saying. If you don't say the type of thing you like to read, people could recommend anything they enjoyed.

[ ... Pauses. She's kind of surprised he even cares what her answer is there, since ... yeah. She doesn't really think she'll be able to win at all, but it's kind of nice that he seems to be considering it, so: ]

Sure, I'll fight you.

If I hate it then I'll stop reading and know not to associate with that person in the future. It's a good plan.

[ fucking solid as shit. But yeah, he could say that he just wants to stretch his legs and that he doesn't consider Ino real competition, but that would be overly harsh and perhaps detrimental to his efforts to get her to agree. Besides, perhaps she's gotten markedly better since he last saw her. ]

Very well. You can pick the time and place, and if you've shown Tadashi or Hiro anything then they're welcome to fight alongside you. [ yeah right ]

You'd really stop talking to someone because their taste in books is bad?

[ THAT'S HARSH ... ]

I don't need help. [ Yeah, she's already kind of offended that he's giving her a handicap, letting her know that he doesn't think she'll be any kind of competition will just make it worse. ] I'll ask them if they want to watch, though.

I've stopped talking to people for less.

But we'll see. I'll keep my range limited so they don't get dragged into it.

It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that it's kind of stupid.

[ We'll see, MY ASS. ... is what she wants to say, but she's not going to talk trash when she's pretty sure she's going to get her own ass kicked. Oh well. ]

So you're okay with them, then?

[ If he found either of them annoying, he probably wouldn't have brought them up, right ... ]

Tadashi is bad with money and Hiro is too wordy. I haven't formed opinions yet other than that.

[ Aka they seem to be alright, although... ] Their backgrounds are very different to ours. That doesn't affect your ability to relate to them?

[ Lmao ... Well, that's about as nice as Sasuke's going to get, anyways. ]

Most people here have plenty of things in common if you look past the surface. I'm sure there are things they've experienced that you could relate to, too.

I would hope that there are very few of those.

[ Not to be a storm cloud, but. ] When do you want to spar?

[ Sasuke exists to be a storm cloud, tbh. But she doesn't make a comment; their similarities are for them to tell each other, not for her to say to either. ]

Tomorrow?

Very well. If there are any tests they need to run or measurements they need to take, they can also do it then.

Makes sense, might as well while we're together.

Where do you want to meet, then? [ He did say she could decide, but she's curious what he thinks would be an appropriate amount of space. ]

[ That's already in his mind, really, not exactly having a huge amount of options if they don't want to draw a crowd. ]

It would have to be one of the cargo holds or somewhere on the station that's relatively secluded. I don't know of any place like that, however.

If the cargo hold is fine, we can just use the one on my ship.

You're also thinking that it's small, aren't you?

It's probably the biggest place to go that won't get anyone arrested or fined, though ...

Aa, I can't pin it on Zuko again. He yelled at me in public.

[ Yeah. Swell times. ]

We'll manage. We'll have to limit ourselves as it is anyway.

[ .... Sorry, but she's laughing. Good thing this is text. ]

Did he really?

[ She wishes she could have seen that, wow. ]

I've sparred in there before, it's not terrible.
