amber ☆ 01

[soldieronwards]

[ The man looking down into the amber appears confident, at a glance. Certainly, he's friendly, and he offers a grin. ]

So here's what I'm thinkin'.

We got threats here, don't we? Giant spiders, that sort of thing. Or average-sized spiders, but they're giant to us, that's for sure. There's probably more crap where that came from.

But now we're trying to get weapons for everybody. Ways for us all to defend ourselves.

[ He gestures at the golden image before him. ]

I got an offer for all of you. If you need help defending yourselves, I'll--I'll try and teach you.

But I might need a little help setting up a gym for it. Anyone got any ideas how we can go about that?

[ A beat. He hesitates, then says: ]

I'm Bucky, by the way. Nice to meet you all, even if it's not under the greatest of circumstances.

I spoke to a man who was offering to help people learn flying--his name is Jae-Ha, I believe. He is also a recent arrival, but he knows how to fly already. Perhaps he knows something of aerial combat, too.

[Granted, he was offering it to ~ladies~, but he didn't seem averse when Fuu pointed out that gentlemen might need help too.]

I suppose I also have some experience in flight itself by now, but I spent most of the spider battle on foot, so it would be a lot of trial and error.

[soldieronwards]

Jae-Ha...I'll have to look him up. I got a feeling aerial combat's something we should all look into, here.

You were here for the spider battle? How did that go, anyway?

[monster_san]

Given that there were dozens of us-sized spiders everywhere, I have to say it went well--not that it was in any way pleasant, but as death-defying battles go it could have been worse.

[soldieronwards]

Sounds pretty intense.

You think the spiders might come back?

[monster_san]

Yes, it was. Those spiders are unlikely to return, as they all vanished when we killed [hngk] the mother spider, but I'm sure we'll have similar battles in future.

[soldieronwards]

Hah, it'd be too easy if that was the only one, right?

I mean, I only got here afterwards. I'd hate to think I missed all the fightin'.

[monster_san]

Nothing in life is easy, they say, though I hadn't expected that dealing with insects would fall into that category. Are you a warrior, then? [A fighter, obviously, given the subject of his communication, but knowing to fight and enjoying the fight are somewhat different.]
