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! ]

Nothing dangerous. Just whatever comes to me.

No need to be defensive. I didn't think you were making a bomb out of yarn.

I can let you watch, anyway. Do you already have yarn?

It's my instinct to assume people are assuming the worst.

Right now I don't have yarn, but I'm working to get some. It seems like it's rarer than you'd think.

Then I'll strike a deal with you.

I'll get you yarn if you spar with me.

But no powers -- just hand to hand.

And if I last for longer than a minute, you have to knit me a hat.

Deal?

So no jutsu, but I have a full minute to take you down?

Done.

And I get a hat if I can do it.

I like red.

[ rei is fully aware that uchiha sasuke can and will kick her ass but she's also aware that getting sasuke to that level of trust requires a few ass kickings. so. ]

The color you like is irrelevant. It won't be needed.

Always nice talking to you, Sasuke.

Really.

It brightens my day, every day, to talk to someone so condescending.

Red AND purple.

When do you want to learn?

I'm not trying to be condescending to you. Wouldn't it be worse if I said 'I'm sure you'll win' only to talk down to you later when you've lost? We're both adults.

I can learn as soon as you're available.

I know you're not trying to be, but that doesn't change the fact that you are. :)

I'll find the yarn. Give me two hours. Sound good?

I'm sure you're very powerful.

I'll see you then. The Huntress, or your ship?

I'm sure you are too. :) :) :) :)

I'll come to you. I don't have a room on the First Breath -- it's over capacity.

We aren't going to fight in my room. It isn't sizable enough.

The cargo hold will work better.

I was asking for the knitting demonstration, but if you want to do that first, then sure.

[ Look his mind just gets into one place and it stays there. ]

I'm just passing the information along for your benefit. The knitting can be done first.

It's your lesson, Sasuke.

What do you want to do first?

Knit.

[ fuckin AGGRESSIVE KNITTING ]

Then your room it is.

Two hours.

Fine.

I'll stay mindful of the time.

[ and, precisely two hours later, rei shows up with a duffel bag over her shoulder. the other ships seem to have similar layouts as the first breath, but with a few key differences. nothing too difficult to navigate, though, and it only takes a few moments of poking around and asking before she's pointed in the right direction.

she does, however, have the courtesy to tap at the door. ]

Sasuke?

[ Well, she's nothing if not punctual. He's almost impressed by how well she's timed it, looking up from his communicator before setting it aside and moving to open the door. ]

So you're here. [ A step back, allowing her room to come in. ]

Sit if you like.

[ the room is small, and she gives it a careful once over before letting her eyes settle on sasuke again, arching her eyebrows. ]

Where are you sitting?

I was sitting on the bed, but it'll be easier for you to take that spot while I watch you. I don't mind standing.

[ ... which is just weird. ]
