17th Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

There! I-

[Locked from Eridan]

-did it! Good. That'll keep him from listening in on this. Thanks, Genis. I owe you one.

[Yup, somebody begged his best friend to show him how to lock. That done, he turns his attention on the Dreamberry - and Somarium in general by extension. His expression is very serious, and perhaps a little chagrined.]

Hey, everyone. I... kind of need some help. I need to get stronger, so I need to train, but I also need help learning how to fight magic users. [He makes a face.] Especially magic users that can fly.

[No, he's not talking about anyone in specific. What makes you think that?]

Does anyone want to spar? Or have any advice?

[Lloyd smiles at her reassuringly.]

Don't worry, I'm pretty sure I can handle it. Dwarven vow number sixteen: You can do anything if you try! I just need lots of practice!

[Upbeat!]

So, I take it you don't know how to fight?

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know how! I just don't know if I'd be able to help in a situation like this. ( she's picturing some sort of casual schoolyard fistfight situation in her head. ) But you have a great philosophy on it, so I'm sure you'll be fine?

The idea of Lloyd and Eridan as schoolyard hate rivals... XD

[redcladidealist]

Oh, I get it. [He thinks she just doesn't know magic or how to fight someone who can use it.] I'm pretty sure I'll find some people to practice with.

But I'm glad you know how to fight. Like I said, it's not always safe in Somarium. How long have you been here?

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

( he's not wrong about that! ) Er… about a week and a half?

[redcladidealist]

Wow, you're pretty new. I've been here about seven months. You don't okay? Anything you haven't figured out?

By the way, I'm Lloyd Irving. What's your name?

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

I guess I am. But don't worry about me, I'm really okay. My name's Hungary!

[redcladidealist]

[Don't = doing. I can type. D:]

Hungry? [Just a moment of hesitation. She's... serious? Someone named her that? He opens his mouth... and closes it. What can he say that doesn't sound like he's making fun of her name?] I've never met someone named that before.

[Though he has heard a lot of people say that "they're hungry." But that... doesn't really count.]

[neptanc.livejournal.com]

Magyarország. ( she says her name in hungarian, kind of biting back a grin because if you think hungary is a weird name. ) I'm not named after the country, I am the country. But if you think that's too confusing, I have another name!

[soulsymmetrical]

[musing.]

You just need to be attacked from the air, correct?

[knightofchanges]

I can help with sword fighting, but not magic, sorry.

[ Riku didn't need to double check anything of his. He was already dressed and ready to go in case someone needed something done. :| The keyblade could be summoned so there was no doubt that he had that with him as he folded his arms as he waited at the warp pad for the other teen. ]

So how do we work this thing? [ He points to the warp pad as he walked over to him. ]

[cursebound]

What kind of training are you looking for?

[redcladidealist]

Mag... Maygazgara... [Lloyd makes a third try that is too mangled even to show with text, and even he winces as it leaves his mouth.] ...I think I'll stick with Hungry. Unless... You have a third name? What is it?

So. [He doesn't get it. But he thinks he does!] You're the queen of Hungry? And you named it?

[redcladidealist]

Yeah. That'd help a lot. I'm not used to having to fight long range.

[He usually had his friends to help him.]

[redcladidealist]

No, that's great! I can use all the practice I can get. I'm a swordsman, too, so that's even better!

Do you know how to use techniques?

[redcladidealist]

Mostly I'm worried about fighting someone who's fighting long range. I'm not so good at that. I think that's why I lost the last time I got in a fight.

action.

[redcladidealist]

You just step on it right in the middle and it takes you there.

[Lloyd says this confidently. He may be a little fail when it comes to technology, but this is something he's used to and familiar with. Just don't ask him how it works.]

There's another warp pad on the mountain. That's where we'll show up.

[Now he's looking curiously at Riku.]

You don't have a weapon?

[allies.livejournal.com]

There are two kinds of romance, idiot. There's red romance—pity, and black romance—hate.

[redcladidealist]

[That's right. Karkat had mentioned something about that before. Not that it had sunk in as something that dealt with him. He didn't even really understand it.]

But you're his... kismesis, right? What's that got to do with me?

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

My best advice is to run.

[allies.livejournal.com]

Our race is known for its infidelity. I'm his kismesis but I wouldn't be surprised if he was trying to court you, too. Or he might think you're trying to talk him into it.

[redcladidealist]

I'm not going to run away! What if someone's life is depending on me?

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

Oh, my apologies, I should have been more specific. I meant avoid the spell by running from the target area.

Although running away from the fight is, perhaps, even more sensible. In fact, why not take that 'someone' away with you as well?
