Tenth Draw - This sucks ass! [Voice/Action]

[selphie_t]

[In case anyone's missed her, Selphie's been busy searching the forest for a certain Ceodore Harvey. She knows that he's been taken by the Malnosso but it hasn't stopped her from looking through a large area with a fine-toothed comb. She's getting frustrated at this point because she hasn't had any luck finding him and can probably be heard kicking random stones and snapping sticks under her heavy footsteps.

Before too much longer, Selphie decides to take a break a sits down under the shade of a large maple tree. She sighs before muttering anything into the journal.]

Sorry... I'm not having much luck.

Guess I better start headin' back for town now. Stupid Malnosso.

Yeah. I think it's probably a difficult weapon? Though I've never tried using anything else.

Um... lesse here...

[Selphie looks up at the patches of blue that she can see through the shade of the tree canopy.]

Swords are a bit too heavy and I couldn't quite get a whip to whip right soooo... nunchaku seemed like the best bet for me. It was either that, or hand-to-hand.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

[He'll decide to look up, too.] Really?

For me, it was more tradition. Boys in my family learn how to use this type of weapon, from what I was told.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Really!

Oooooh! That sounds exciting.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

It was, kind of.

So why did you learn to fight?

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Why did I learn to fight? Well... I learned to fight so I could take care of myself. I wanted to be independent and all that stuff. I wanted to do something more than what everybody else was doing. So that's how I came to be at Garden and became a SeeD.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

I can understand that. [He has quite a few people he wants to protect. But that last bit...]

Garden? Seed? [What does fighting have to do with gardening? And why is she calling herself a seed?]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie giggles at that. She's getting used to those questions by now.]

SeeD are mercenaries and we protect our world from Sorceresses. Garden is what we call the schools where we train.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

So mercenaries go to school in your world...? [It's hard to imagine the mercenaries he knows back home in a school.]

And sorceresses? What for? [He's thinking regular mages.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

We do! We have to train a lot of take a test to become a SeeD.

Sorceresses are baaaaad news where I'm from. They tend to abuse their power and try to take over the world and stuff. So we kick their butts!

[Action]

[falenandawn]

I see. It sounds like it would be an interesting school.

To... take over the world? How much power do they have...? [And he'd thought the Sun Rune being able to level a kingdom was powerful.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Definitely but it's the best and I wouldn't change it at all.

A lot.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

I've never been to any type of school, but I've heard you gain quite a few close friends. I'd imagine a school for mercenaries is the same.

I see...... [He’s not going to ask more.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

A few of them are here actually. We all grew up together.

Yeah... it's not a pretty picture when you think about it.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

Really? That must be nice, to have them here.

Yes. I've seen powerful magic before... And the destruction it causes isn't pretty.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

It is... [But it'd be even better if Ceodore were back. Her lower lip juts out into a slight pout.]

Yeah... I hope there isn't anybody like that here.

Re: [Action]

[falenandawn]

[He can tell she's upset about something, and takes a wild guess.] I'm sure Ceodore will be back soon.

I hope so, too.

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

[Selphie looks at Frey quickly and looks elsewhere seconds later.]

I hope so too, Frey. On both counts.

[Action]

[falenandawn]

I'm sure he'll be fine. We just need to be patient and keep our eyes open for any sign of him.

As for your sorceresses.... Well, Luceti is filled with people who would fight any threat that comes to the village. [Frey would, certainly.]

[Action]

[boomchucka.livejournal.com]

Thus the looking but so far... nothing.

In that case, a Sorceress doesn't stand a chance. [Selphie would too.]

[Action]

[falenandawn]

He'll be back soon. The Malnosso so far haven't kidnapped anyone I know of for much longer then this. [And yeah, he might be betting a lot on hope, but that's what he does.]

Exactly. Actually, I'm amazed how many people with combat capabilities are here.
