12th Shot [Video/ Action for Castlevania residents]

You know, zome people might appreciate a dedicated paperboy, but, I find him irritating as hell.

[Rip may have gotten her paper thrown AT her recently while she was out for a walk one morning. Lets just say she's not thrilled with the resulting bruises from being hit by the paper. ]

So, how do you get him to stop trying to assault you vith zhe paper? I'd love to know at zhis point.


[Action: Later in the Evening: Locked to Castlevania residents....]

[After leaving a note for Namur to tell him where she was heading, she set out to visit one of the places she had been hesitant to visit on her own since her arrival several months ago. Rip was off to visit her adopted father at his home, Castlevania... She wasn't so sure he would let her leave once she entered judging by the last conversation they had last.

But, after her trip through the dream docks and now finally feeling her memories settle, she felt it was time they had a proper face to face chat. And perhaps she would hang around a little longer to meet everyone else that she knew lived there.....]

Gotta pay the li'l shit an' so long as someone else ain't payin' 'im more t' beat y' with it, y' oughta be fine.

We gotta get yer haki awakened. Then y'll know when he's comin' t' throw shit atcha an' y' can jus' not be where he throws. Feelin' up for a spar, babe?

[singinghuntress]

...Zo, ve haf to bribe him to get him to stop assaulting people.

[How annoying. Rip shakes her head, definitely not thrilled with paying someone like the paperboy money just to make sure she doesn't get hit again.]

Maybe a little spar.

[om_nom_namur]

[There's a reason Namur doesn't bother. HE REFUSES TO LIVE HIS LIFE IN FEAR!]

Forest in Fayren?

[WHAT!? How come he's never been offered? Well, nothing ventured.]

Goodness; had I known it could work with others who didn't hail from the world of the Grand Line, I'd have asked for tutoring too! Is that an open offer, or for girlfriends only?

Wait is..

is that not how the paper is delivered? It was such a surprise! That is not a custom..?

Re: [video]

[singinghuntress]

Vell, it's not supposed to be thrown at you like zhat. Or through your vindow! A a paperboy throws it onto zhe lawn or into mailboxes.. not AT zhe patrons!

[Yes, she's still pretty annoyed by this.]

Re: [video]

[draconixaviarix]

Oh..

This is true. It did hurt. Who knew that paper could be so thick when thrown?

[She chuckles but pauses]

...Maybe it's time to talk to this paperboy, huh?

[k2so]

If you pay him, he will stop throwing papers at your or breaking the windows.

There doesn't seem to be a better solution.

[singinghuntress]

..Zo zhe only solution iz to bribe him. How haz no one busted him for racketeering?

[k2so]

Peopel tried. I think Garrus even tried to arrest him...that only ended with him getting hit by the newspaper every single time.

Rip didn't even have to knock as she arrived, the door swinging open smoothly, the handle held by none other than the silver haired maid who had invited her to the castle some time ago. With a bow and a flourish she invited Rip into the castle. And, interestingly enough, she seemed to be human herself.

Though she certainly carried herself in such a way no vampire would mistake her for weak or insignificant.

With a bow and a flourish the door was opened wider, allowing Rip entrance. Had she been expected? "Welcome to Castlevania."

Re: [Action/Castlevania]

[singinghuntress]

When the door opened, Rip froze slightly not quite expecting it to do that before she knocked or attempted to let herself in anyway since that's what she figured might have happened.

Instead, she's greeted by the maid who Rip vaguely remembered. At least the girl didn't manage to annoy Rip on sight and if she was allowed in the castle, then.. she must be worthy enough to be there, right? The Huntress nods back slightly as she moves to step over the threshold at last.

"Danke, I suppose I'm a long time over due in visiting.."

Had she been expected? Rip wouldn't be surprised if that was the case.

[sakuya_izayoi]

Closing the door behind Rip, the maid strode quickly into the lead, gesturing with her hand for the huntress to follow. "My name is Sakuya Izayoi. If there is anything you require do not hesitate to let myself or any of the other maids know and we will be sure to get it for you."

She led Rip into a sitting room, gesturing to any of the overstuffed couches and chairs to choose a seat. There was a strange ripple of power behind her and, when next she looked, the maid was balancing an ornate tea set with several cups on a silver tray in one hand.

"The master of the castle is aware of your arrival and will be down shortly." She was already pouring Rip a cup of tea- wait, no. That was too red to be tea.

...Yeah, we've been trying to find a way to stop him for a while too. Do you have a tennis racket? Throwing the paper back at him works sometimes. [Though usually not for long.]

Re: [video]

[singinghuntress]

I may haf to get one if zhis ends up happening again.

[video]

[fairysoul]

[She just chuckles gently.]

So how life in Genessia been treating you so far?

[soulsforsale]

He's never been a bother to me.

[But then again, she doesn't live in an apartment or house and moves quite often. She's more surprised when she actually gets the newspaper.]

Maybe you were just unlucky this time.

Re: video;

[singinghuntress]

Lucky, zhis is the second time he's thrown it at me since I arrived. Zhe first time broke a vindow.

[If that's the key, Rip might consider becoming a nomad just to avoid getting hit again. She does have several places she can crash at if need be.]

[riddlemehiss]

The trick is to assault him before he can assault you.

[Great advice from an intangible cat who has yet to be targeted.]

Re: Video

[singinghuntress]

Somehow, I doubt zhat vill completely vork.

[nolifecount]

Oh...? Did he hit you fair and square? Why didn't you duck and evade? Must have been a good shot then or perhaps you weren't paying attention.

[Because you know? Real vampires should have quick reflexes to evade even the simplest newspaper of doom.]

Re: video

[singinghuntress]

[She just gives the Dark Hunter a slightly annoyed look at his question.]

It vas morning und he took me by surprise.

[quick_clean_pure]

Get revenge. Throw the paper right back.

[singinghuntress]

I may haf to try zhat next time.
