[OPEN] fight fight fight!

[paladinforhire]

Who: Fridtjof and OPEN!
What: Fridtjof is bored. He imagines others are bored as well.
Where: Top deck, near the pool.
When: Day 6-8ish?
Warnings: Violence probably, but preferably controlled violence.


Around day 6 there's a poster that appears in various parts of the ship. It's clearly hand-drawn, but someone at least looks like they've put a lot of time into it.



The person in question is loitering around the area, leaning against a tree. There's a rough circle made out of dirt, large enough to be a modest arena. He's wearing his shiny blue and white armor with a blue and white shield on his back. He looks to be very bored and his rabbit-like ears are twitching, searching around for any sound. Sure, she said there were no monsters, but...

In any case he greets anyone approaching with a smile and a wave.

"Hello! Here to fight or here to watch?" He'll show off for people if they want, he's just trying to not be flashy.

If nothing else, Mint can't resist a distraction. After all, she did literally try and start teaching people Triple Triad earlier this week. (Honestly, the posters are a good idea. Maybe she should make some for a Triple Triad club?)

That said, she's not sure if she's going to fight or not. Mint has spent some time at the Wolves Den in the past, but... Not much dueling. Its kind of an oddly familiar idea, one that seems to poke at her lost memories, but something about facing people in combat that isn't to the death still rubs her the wrong way.

...Maybe she can lay the blame for that on Zenos.

Still, she's here! And to her surprise, its actually someone who looks like they're from her world. "A Viera?"

[paladinforhire]

He's used to people being surprised at him - Viera aren't exactly common in most places. Still, his ears twitch slightly. "Yes? Is something wrong?"

Sure, there's a lot of Hyur around but that's fine. Some places are just like that. It's odd, but it's not unknown. He grew up in a place that was exclusively Viera, after all.

[solardaybreak]

Mint hesitates and then, well, decided its not that big of a deal. No need to elaborate. After all, his answer is enough to know he's from her world, she doesn't need any more info than that. And like hells Mint's going to open up the "Warrior of Light" box again. She's not here for answers, she's here to not be bored. "No, never mind me. So this is a fight club?"

She's still not sure if she wants to commit to fighting someone. She is, maybe, bored enough...

[paladinforhire]

"More or less. I figured that there might be people with excess energy to burn. And there are no monsters or bandits to practice on, nor are there any large stretches of land to explore." And that's what burns off energy for him.

It's him. He's the bored one. Please help him.

"Well, I won't go first, but I'll definitely watch a match or two." Mint waves her hand in a way that's probably supposed to come off airy, but lands somewhere a bit more in the realm of nervous energy. "I'll see about fighting once I see what people are made of."

And if any of them would remind her too much of a bad 'spar.' Honestly, its too bad there aren't more people. She never had this issue with those big melees the Grand Companies sometimes held, with the great mess of a battle and people shouting instructions that didn't make sense... Getting sniped...

...in hindsight, Mint probably should find those just as stressful but somehow it still feels nostalgic.

...Maybe Mint is also terribly bored.

[paladinforhire]

"That makes sense. I'm not really worried about people getting hurt too badly, since I can heal them." He doesn't mind healing - it's very important! But he prefers being a tank and taking the damage for his squishier friends.

... He's not a fan of the big melees, honestly. Too chaotic, too much going on. He also has no particular loyalty to the Maelstrom so much as he was told to join. "It's just going to be a bit until someone comes along, probably... there aren't that many people on this boat, are there?" If you can even call a ship that's not on the water a 'boat'.

'Teeny tiny toy boat' aside.

"Good to hear! Having a healer on hand makes this quite a bit simpler." Mint can heal, but well. She knows how to make potions, and how to do the magical equivalent of stitching a wound on the battlefield. She's recently been experimenting with what magic she can recall from back in Daybreak Town, but. Please don't ask her for more than 'seal a large cut' or 'voidsent siphoned aether and you need the crudest blood/aether transfusion in the world'. Mint has lots of aether. Its all she has going for her here.

Honestly, Mint can't blame Fridtjof for not liking the big melees. Its not she has much loyalty either, there was just some point where it clicked for her, and it was good afternoon's activity. Something about the lack of attention on specifically her, perhaps.

Mint nods sagely. "There really isn't many people... 'Suppose I'll just wait and watch to the side then, mm?"

Mint makes a little wave like she's ready to get out of his hair.

[paladinforhire]

"If you'd like. And if you're ever bored in between matches feel free to come chat again. It's good that there's someone who actually recognizes what a viera is here." He's used to people staring at his ears but there's 'stare at a viera's ears' and 'stares at a viera's ears and doesn't know what aether is'.

He rolls his shoulders a little and taps his boot against the ground. "It's not that I'm like... bloodthirsty. Just used to more monsters, you know?"

[solardaybreak]

"Sure, I might do that. Its nice, seeing someone from the same place." Its something that had itched, really, back in Eorzea, but seeing no one and nothing familiar was bad in a different way. Even not knowing this guy, he's a bit of... fresh air, Mint supposes.

Mint exhales sharply, somewhere halfway to but not quite a laugh. "You really have no need to worry my opinion on that sort of thing. I'm an adventurer. I think the only reason I'm not desperate for something to do is the... plant incident still being in recent memory."

(Mint is going to get stir crazy soon, she knows perfectly well. Mint hasn't had to stay put this long since her last ship voyage.)

Without too much showing on her face, Mint starts looking for a place to watch, hand tapping with a certain amount of energy at her side.

(Mint did come to watch the fight club, after all. No matter what hangups she has, boredom is a stronger foe, at least for now.)
