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 didn't lie, I exaggerated the truth. Think of a number between one and one thousand.

[ she says as she knits, her movements slow, but practiced. ]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ And now carefully being copied by watchful eyes, feeling like he actually should've picked this skill up a long time ago.

Somewhere amongst all the murdering and vengeance, probably. ]

Fine. [ As he thinks of 497, you're welcome. ]

[action]

[flameandpassion]

[ she considers him for a moment, her eyes slipping out of focus for half a second -- seeking the future, placing out what the answer is going to be -- ]

Why 497?

[ she asks mildly, returning to her knitting. ]

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

... because seven is the third number in sequence, and three is the difference between it and the first number while also being the square root of the second.

[ ... ]

In other words, there's no reason. It's just what I thought of. [ His sense of humor just gets better and better. ]

How did you know it?

[action]

[flameandpassion]

[ ha ha. funny. hilarious. ]

I can see the future.

[ mildly ]

So it's less knowing it, and more knowing you were going to choose it.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

... surely an ability like that must have considerable limitations.

[ Otherwise she'd go insane from seeing so many possibilities at all times. ]

[action]

[flameandpassion]

Mm, it's hard to control, sometimes, and I can usually only look ahead at least a week. But what I see is rarely wrong.

[ so it's difficult, depending on what she sees, when she knows she can't change it.

she pauses, though, and holds out her first few lines of knitted scarf-ish beginnings to sasuke, with a faint smile. ]

It comes in handy, though.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

[ He reaches out after a short pause, thumb brushing over the slightly rough yarn as he examines each and every stitch. It's well done without any overly large or too tight loops, evenly spaced and planned out. ]

... you could avoid having to have so many conversations that way. [ HIS DREAM ]

[action]

[flameandpassion]

[ there's a soft snort of laughter, and rei wraps her arms around her knees, looking amused. ]

I use it for more important things.

[ like, you know, checking on her friends and making sure they don't get themselves killed. ]

I'd look ahead to see whether or not there are any conversations you want to avoid, but I would get a headache.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

You've made your point. [ He is fully aware of his own antisocial behaviors, just now starting to come to terms with... well. His own lack of a personality. ]

How and where do you tuck the yarn in order to secure it when you're entirely finished?

[action]

[flameandpassion]

I'll show you once you're finished making what you want to make.

[ cheerfully enough, and rei gets to her feet, stretching neatly. ]

It depends -- but I'll include it as a free "part-two" to your lesson.

[action]

[eyeforaneye]

So you're saying whenever I'm done I have to contact you and wait for you to come by in order to finish up what I've started?

[ ... ]

Fine.
