voice testing...

[amazonwarrior]

Dear...Mun?

Is that what I am to call you? Strange, but there are stranger things in this world. I am willing to test out this partnership and see where it goes.

Do not fret, I am sure you will be fine.

Hi there. Just thought I would drop in, give my two cents. Yeah, I call mine Mun. You'll be fine. It takes a while. My Mun had a hard time with me, but I think she knows what do do, somewhat.

[amazonwarrior]

Hello. [She's a bit cautious, but that's normal.] You say 'somewhat,' do you not have much faith in your Mun? [Still such a strange word to say...it'll take some getting used to.]

[good_catholic_boy]

Well, yes and no. I think she brings a bit too much of herself into playing me, but we're alike in that way. [he shrugs] If it's angsty and I'm fighting, she's awesome. She hasn't been with me that long.

[amazonwarrior]

Then your partnership is working out well? I can only hope for the best with mine. We're alike, but not too much. She's more interested in "fleshing" me out, to get a better hold of my "voice."

Personally, I think she's doing well. She needs more confidence in her abilities.

[good_catholic_boy]

Yeah, I guess so. She hasn't been working with me that long. She's been fascinated with me and what I do for a while now. She always mentions this guy named Charlie Cox, who she says I look like. In that way, I wonder if letting her in on my life would be wise. [he chuckles] I think she needs to learn how to fight better. She's got the attitude though. [he smirks]

[amazonwarrior]

You're a fighter? [Interesting, but judging by the way he's carrying himself, it's easy to see.] A hero? Or are you into a sport?

[good_catholic_boy]

Uh...[he realizes he was about to let his alter ego be revealed by being careless]

In court. I'm an attorney, a lawyer.

[amazonwarrior]

[There's a pause from her, looking him over again.]

The way you carry yourself says differently.

[good_catholic_boy]

[He can feel her eyes appraising him, he tips his head, listening to her heart. No bullshit here. He does grip his cane a bit harder than he usually does, but his stance is as casual as he can be, with his senses on full alert. His eyebrows raising above his red glasses]

And how do you know that? Miss...? [Watch out Diana, you're being questioned by a Colombia Law grad]

[amazonwarrior]

Diana, Diana Prince. [He might hear her heart beat change. Every time she says that name, she thinks of Steve.]

Straight back, even most lawyers slouch and the grip on your cane is tight.

[She understands what it means to have a secret identity and just to calm his fears...] What sport?

[good_catholic_boy]

I'm Matt Murdock. [he nods to her in greeting] Nice to meet you, Miss Prince.

How do you know most lawyers crouch, Miss Prince? Some of us do have good posture. But, you are correct, I might want to loosen my grip. Don't want a broken cane. [he gives her a sheepish smile]

What sport? Nothing organized, just hitting the bag at a local gym. Boxing is in my blood, I guess you could say.

[amazonwarrior]

A pleasure, Matt.

[A knowing smile dances across her lips.] When you deal with museum pieces and rarities, you find yourself working very closely with officers of the court. [Making sure every document was taken care of, that every acquired piece was done legally and all that fun paper work.]

Boxing, an interesting sport that doesn't always rely on strength. [You had to be fast, agile,and know when to strike.] And I suppose a great way to take out frustration.

[good_catholic_boy]

So, you're a curator? I can't say that I specialize in that type of law, but I did take art and history classes.

Interesting, yeah, I guess you could say that. But these days, in a way, you're right. You could be in the best shape in the world, but still lose.

Reflexes are everything. [You also had to know how to have good form.]

Yeah and stay healthy. Working in an office can lead to bad habits. Some, I have fallen to in recent years, but not many.

Do you do anything sports related outside of your line of work?

[amazonwarrior]

The law that goes with a museum curator would probably bore you. It deals more with where an item was located, who had it and verifying other documents.

Would you consider take out a bad habit? [She's joking, because she's done it too. In this world, when you pull long nights, it's a must.]

Fencing, archery, and overall body fitness. As you mentioned, you have to stay healthy.

[good_catholic_boy]

Well, the paperwork and filings probably would bore me. But a lot of the classes I took in law school, weren't always exciting. Believe me, I'd rather take a class in constitutional law, rather than contract law. [he smiles]

Well, maybe sitting too much, working on my computer too much. Yeah, takeout can be a bad habit, but sometimes it can't be avoided. [Matt definitely hasn't had time to cook, let alone make a sandwich to bring with him to work. He's definitely agreed there]

[Matt's eyebrows raise at her list. Man she's making him look like a slacker] Wow. And how do you have time for all of this? I wish I would be lucky enough to get any type of weight training or anything like that in my week. I do meditate though.

[amazonwarrior]

[There's a soft chuckle from her.] A lot of reading that isn't always pleasant, but always tedious.

I try to make time. I did archery and fencing before becoming a museum curator. Now, it's more or less overall fitness, when I can find time.

[good_catholic_boy]

No, but sometimes, I like to read a lot of the things that I need for research in cases. My law partner would say I'm the nerdiest person ever. Which, I've never denied. [he chuckles]

I haven't gone beyond weight training or boxing. That would be amazing if I could do anything else like that. Being a city kid, I can't say that I've ever fenced or shot an arrow.

[onewhodares]

There is not much cause for welcome here in this place...

[Don't mind him, he is always like that.]

[amazonwarrior]

There isn't? Why do you say that?

[She won't mind the attitude...she's just curious..and cautious.]

[amazonwarrior]

How is that nerdy when you want to prepare yourself for your case?

[Diana lets out a soft chuckle.] Both are very rare in this world. I don't see too many schools or areas that offer either or.

[onewhodares]

[Cautious is the word for it, he looks as if checking to not be overheard.]

These 'muns', they are not to be trusted. I would take care in putting too much faith in their good intentions.

[Despite his small size, he carries himself like one accustomed to using the large sword on his back.]

[amazonwarrior]

[Diana knows not to judge someone by their looks, their size, or by their appearances. He does look like he's traveled far and could be a warrior of sorts.]

'Muns' are human, they have the capacity for both good and for evil. If yours has treated your terribly, why not stand up to them? Stand against them?

[onewhodares]

[Wise words, but Thorin has a low regard for humans.]

The world of men is not for a dwarf. I tolerate them as they do us. They are weak and selfish, there are few that do good. I endure my own writer's whims and follies but that is the end of my participation.

[amazonwarrior]

The world of men is not for an Amazon, yet here we both are.

The way you describe them can apply to man, dwarf, woman, or anyone. Surely, if you are with your Mun, then they've done at least some good for you.

[onewhodares]

[He has traveled much of Middle Earth but has never heard of an Amazon before. However he is not happy to have dwarves included in his own critical words.]

My people are not weak, we are strong, even stronger together than apart.

[Remembering his manners, he puts an arm and closed fist across his chest with a small bow.] Thorin Oakenshield, son of Thrain, son of Thror. At your service and your family's.
