[ Vi actually gets a text message from her Knight inviting her to come 'chillax upstairs' in one of the comfortable rec rooms near the Dragon's Hide wing. When she makes her way up there, a blonde in combat boots is slumped in a couch, playing X-Box and swearing up a storm into her headset. A small black cat is curled up apparently sleeping on a pillow beside her. ]

Yeah, well why don't you hop a flight and come say that to my foot in your ass? GO DIE IN A CAR CRASH.

[shootfirst]

Aww, c'mon. Everyone's got some skills.

What are yours?

[graveflowers]

Well, skills. Skills. I can ride a three headed poodle. I've never met a pithy comment in the face of danger I didn't like. I kind of have a green thumb. I'm pretty sure I can quote Harry Potter word for word.

Do I have to be serious? I'm a master archer and swordswoman, basically all the Roman things. There's probably a list on wikipedia.

[shootfirst]

Sooo I'm guessing... aspiring Dragon's Hide member?

[graveflowers]

Blanket sect for nerds? Or violence? Or violent nerds?

[shootfirst]

Nerds are the Hoard. Violence is the Hide.

[graveflowers]

Much like the little dude in the taco commercial, I pose the age old question: Why can't there be both?

[shootfirst]

Well, you can do as much as you want to be good at doing, but the distinctions are to help Wynn make up mission groupings. Trying to keep things balanced that sorta thing. And also so new people know where to go for advice on different things.

[graveflowers]

Ooh. Yeah in that case, probably violence. I had a pretty violent audition.

[shootfirst]

Well, it's not about where you start - more about where you want to end up, I guess. What kind of Knight you want to be.

[graveflowers]

I don't think I'm exactly nerdy enough for the Hoard-- [kjhdlkghlf FOR THE HOARD] --my nerd tends to run toward the amazing ability to quote Top Gun word for word.

[shootfirst]

Yeah, I would definitely call that more hobby-variety nerdology.

[graveflowers]

I don't see it ever coming in handy, really. Unless it's a drinking contest and the last shot depends on knowing the words to You've Lost that Loving Feeling. Or I need to entertain myself for a couple hours.

[shootfirst]

Hey, if we're picking teams on trivia night, I'll never leave you the last man standing.

[graveflowers]

Well thank you. I feel honored that my nerd fu can be a benefit.

[shootfirst]

Hey, nerd-fu is my bread and butter. A) I hack, which is because of a lot of nerdy basement hours, and B) studying magic takes a lot of reading.

[graveflowers]

Magic hacking? Or are the two mutually exclusive?

[shootfirst]

Mostly exclusive: for now. I know a few spells that are sort of like what technomages do, but I like the actual physical magic stuff too. You know... fireballs, that kind of thing.

[graveflowers]

Sweet!

[Someone's jealous. Pro tip: it's Violet.]

[shootfirst]

Teeechnically I'm still working on the fireballs.

[graveflowers]

Still. Human flamethrower is pretty bad ass.

[shootfirst]

The hacking part is more of a hobby turned profitable-mission-skill.

[graveflowers]

Super jealous of your mad skills. My technological prowess is finding free apps on my phone.

[shootfirst]

My current team has a sort of obsession going on with Angry Birds.

Anyways, any other questions I can help you with, I guess?

[graveflowers]

Um... no? [There probably should be, Vi thinks she should ask questions, she just... can't think of anything, at all, a complete blank.]

[shootfirst]

Makes my job easy. You can always call me or text me if something does come up.
