tHREE SICK BEATS, [Voice/Video]

[Voice]
[Hey, Demeleier, it's that familiar faltering voice again. Though he seems to be talking to someone.] Okay, Rufio, uhh, here we go. It will be just like we practiced.

[Video]
[And then the feed turns on to show Tavros carefully propping up his communicator before heading back towards...a horse. For some of you, the horse will look familiar; it's the same horse that belonged to Battler. It seems that Tavros is looking after it now.

If you keep watching, you can see that some distance away, a crude mannequin has been set up. It's made of two long sticks tied together in a cross, with a head that looks like it's made of an old sack stuffed with leaves. Tavros borrowed the sack from the inn, shh.

Tavros then picks up his lance before climbing on top of Rufio the horse. He looks...surprisingly confident, actually. Like he knows what he's doing, rather than his usual nervous and unsure manner.
]

Okay, Rufio, let's go! Giddy-up!

[And Rufio starts at a full trot towards the mannequin before moving into a gallop. As they pass by the mannequin, Tavros manages to use his lance to sweep its head off.]

Yes! We did it! [Tavros slows Rufio back down to a walk before stopping her and dismounting to retrieve his communicator.]

So, uhh, what did you guys think? We have been practicing a lot lately.

[ ... Oh. Yes. Ange recognizes that horse, of course. It always makes her think of Battler a little, and she doesn't want to think about him being gone, but.. she's good at not showing what she's really thinking either way.

So after Tavros' display of actual skill, she claps a little dryly. ]


Congratulations. Seems like the two of you really are a pair. [ It sounds really deadpan, but some part of it is meant genuinely. Probably. ]

[Well, a compliment is a compliment to Tavros no matter how deadpan it is, so he beams.] Uhh, thanks! Rufio and I have been working really hard, to get better at jousting.
entreats: (what would it be?)

[ sob, Tavros.. ]

So you're trying to be the local knight, huh? Just missing the armor and all that.

Um, well, I did always want to be a Cavalreaper...
entreats: (fathers don't know all the rules)

[personal profile] entreats 2011-11-12 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
... 'Cavalreaper'? Some kind of rank back in your world?

[ video ]

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-12 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Uhh, they're part of the imperial guard, and they use lances, and they are pretty cool guys and not afraid of anything.
entreats: (to come back home)

[ video ]

[personal profile] entreats 2011-11-12 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, sounds like quite the aspiration. In fact, I think you'll need a little more than just jousting abilities for that sort of thing.

Yeah, uhh, I am aware of that, but, I think jousting, is a pretty good place to start...

Ahh, that was a good shot!

Do you think so? Thanks!
entreats: (ooc; get out amakusa)

[personal profile] entreats 2011-11-13 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sorry, Tavros.. ]

... At least you're right on that one. Even if you look the part, it won't do any good if you don't even know the basic skills.

[ video ]

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily Tavros brightens a little at that.] That is true! I used to practice all the time at home, too. [Before that whole incident with Vriska...]
entreats: (you won't even remember)

[ video ]

[personal profile] entreats 2011-11-13 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Really? Seems like you're pretty dedicated to that goal.

I am so sorry

[identity profile] facadefortwo.livejournal.com 2011-11-13 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What a display of strength! Who do you plan on using that maneuver on?

kldsjfksl it's okay....

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! [He will take any compliments he can get.] Uhh, any faeries who try to hurt anyone, I guess. Except I will probably need to get a lance made out of iron...

[ video ]

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 01:06 am (UTC)(link)
I guess so. It's something I've always wanted to be.

[identity profile] facadefortwo.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Oh... those poor faeries. I feel so terrible for them.

*Len gives a (fake) judgemental look like Tarvos said something really horrible or something.*

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Really?

[Oh no, this is giving Tavros conflicted feelings.] But, um, I wouldn't hurt good faeries, and there are mostly bad ones here.
entreats: (and if you could have)

[ video ]

[personal profile] entreats 2011-11-14 04:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Then you should just keep working towards it, right? Just keep practising with.. Rufio.

[ video ]

[identity profile] adios-toreadork.livejournal.com 2011-11-14 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I will. Rufio's a good hoofbeast, and she is really smart!
entreats: (so just please be sure)

Unlike the person she was modelled after.

[ But she's saying it in a somewhat fond and nostalgic kind of way. ]

[Claps!] Good show! [Color her impressed! She wouldn't even know where to start doing something like that. No horses where she's from.]

That's amazing...!

Um, well, he was still really nice, and a lot more self-confident than me, so...

Ehehe, thanks! We've been practicing.
