Holidays app for dramadramaduck?

[answerer_sword]

I do not know whether to applaud you for finishing your app before your reserve was even processed, shake my head at the fact that you wrote an app so quickly, or clarify to you that getting me a new game as a present means little to me if the game is so technology-reliant. In case you forget, I do not do well with modern technology.

Also, should your two apps for me go through, that will make for a total of six games. That could easily overwhelm you.

At least there will be a Lancer there....

Good luck with your App!

[thebeastwithin]

So no way that Lancer will be as cool as me & The Beast, but I suppose congrats are in order, Lass?

Ducks, though, seriously? What is dramatic about a duck? They ain't even that good to eat. I can't think of anything less dramatic than a duck.

Unnnnless it's like a 100 foot tall mutant duck. Now that might be something to break out the old spear on! You'd let me know if you found one of those, right?

Re: Good luck with your App!

[answerer_sword]

Not even my mun is sure of how the name works, but it does make for something memorable. If I find any giant mutant ducks, I will call for you.

Re: Good luck with your App!

[thebeastwithin]

Best see that you do, Lass. It's been pretty boring around here lately. I need some action. [Set pauses, then sighs.] Memorable perhaps, but damned annoying when you find out there aren't actually any mutant ducks to fight. I gotta see if I can get Dia to spar with me tonight...without any interference from our little friend for once.

Re: Good luck with your App!

[answerer_sword]

Please be careful. With all these strange plot twists, you never know what will happen.

[thebeastwithin]

Aside from giant mutant ducks, Lass? [Set laughs and then nods his head smartly.] I will be sure to keep your warning in mind, though I'm not quite sure what our mun can throw at us next. I've got a split personality and Dia's got some dark evil thing sleeping in him. Where do you go after that?

Honestly, I'm starting to think I somehow upset The Morrigan again and that's not a good feeling!

[answerer_sword]

Hopefully, my mun will not be complicit in that.

I think the other Lancer can give better reasons for your bad luck than I can.

[thebeastwithin]

[Set shrugs dismissively.] She does, she does. At least that means I get to spend more time with you, Lass. I ain't going to complain about getting to spend more time with one of my favorite people.

[answerer_sword]

...Me neither.

[She turns away, blushing.]

[thebeastwithin]

[There is no way Set misses that blush. The smirk that crosses his face should worry her. It really should.]

Lass, I didn't know you felt so strongly for me! Come then! Lets leave all of this weirdness behind and find new weirdness. Perhaps there will even be some giant mutant ducks to fight!

[answerer_sword]

I-I just remembered something from another game! That is all!

[thebeastwithin]

Oh, really? [His smirk manages to widen somehow.] Do tell...

[answerer_sword]

No matter which version of you it was, you were always very warm to me during my entries into the game. Even if you took vows to serve another. I must thank you for that.

[thebeastwithin]

I see.

[If he sounds a little disappointed, it's probably because he was hoping for a more exciting answer. Boredom and Set do not a good combination make. Of course, that still doesn't stop him from finding something to tease her about.]

Well, they had damn well better be! We've got a reputation to uphold after all. Can't have one guy ruining it for all of us. Especially not with a catch like you.

[He winks at her.]

So how are you planning on thanking me?

[gordianknots]

Does said technology-reliant game permit you to keep any aspect of magic? Because I'm pretty sure if that is the case you should just cast a bounded field on your person to save you from any technological rebounds, explosions and the like.

[answerer_sword]

I will remain grounded in my own world for Dramadramaduck, My Lord. I suppose I could try your suggestion. I just hope that I create no trouble for those on the other end.

[gordianknots]

Hm. The other thing I could think of is there are -- no, here, let me draw this one out.

[and after a few moments have a sketch of one of these] Would that work?

[answerer_sword]

[She has to stare for a second or two before figuring out what it is.]

Perhaps. I will need to ask my partners if they can spare the funds for one.

[And given the people she works with? They are more likely to laugh in her face than agree.]

[gordianknots]

Demonstrate what happens if something like that isn't in place, it'll be more convincing.

[answerer_sword]

The last time I did so, Father Kotomine bought plaster and made me repair the damages to the wall. Sister Ortensia refuses to let me near any piece of modern technology that is not a motorcycle.

[gordianknots]

[oh lord excuse him while he tries not to laugh]

--Really, the motorcycle doesn't give you trouble?

[answerer_sword]

[The Association is cheap. The Church is cheaper.]

It is...rather sturdy. And simple to operate. I can manage to keep it intact if I only use it to commute from one place to another.

[gordianknots]

[Somehow, this is not surprising]

I'll not ask if you've ever tried repair it before.

[answerer_sword]

No, Sister Ortensia is adamant that I stay away from its inner workings. She would rather call a mechanic, even a part-timer.

[gordianknots]

Probably the better decision.

[answerer_sword]

Yes, she is better with things like these.
