...why are you so into the idea that I should be involved in a mugging?

Comments

[practicality]

I am quite skilled in self-defense, thank you. Just that... well. It's a mugging. I think she's planning me to be as off-guard as anything.

[buildingdreams]

What are you trained in?

[practicality]

Archery, mostly. Perhaps a tiny bit of fencing.

[buildingdreams]

Well, that's not really helpful unless you have a bow on you wherever you go.

If your mun really wants you to get mugged, you really should learn how to throw a few punches. You could get in serious trouble otherwise.

[practicality]

I suppose you know how to throw a few punches?

[buildingdreams]

Yeah, I've picked up some self-defense stuff over time. I'm planning on learning how to shoot a gun too. It'll be helpful, I think.

-By the way, I'm Ariadne. ((She holds out a hand.)) Nice to met you.

[practicality]

Helpful with what?

[ gets the offered hand! ] Hello, Ariadne. I'm Susan.

[buildingdreams]

You know. Things. ((Being vague is the best.)) What else would you use a gun for?

[practicality]

[ she shrugs. ] I've just never been a fan of it.

[buildingdreams]

I'm not exactly a fan of it. But I'm sort of a fan of living, you know? Getting shot at is never any fun.

[practicality]

Why would you get shot at in the first place?

[buildingdreams]

Long story, trust me. My job is pretty intense.

[practicality]

So intense that it involves guns?

[buildingdreams]

Mmhmm. Like I said, long story. ((She laughs, a little embarrassed, running one hand through her hair.)) What about you? Do you have a job?

[practicality]

Not yet, no. I'm still going to school. [ she hesitates. ] ...shouldn't you be, as well?

[buildingdreams]

Oh my. ((She gives Susan an amused look.)) I just finished getting my Master's in Architecture. Just because I'm short doesn't mean I'm not 26.
