That "Holodeck" is an interesting place, I'll admit. But I prefer my opponents to be capable of thinking for themselves.

I'm looking for a sparring partner.

[...and after a bit more thought.]

No wizards.

[ps no one tell Jarlaxle that he may or may not be using this as a way to look for recruits.]

Oooh, what's a wizard?

[bitofafop]

Cowards hiding behind their magic.

[read: they unnerve the shit out of him.]

[its_dad_sanzo]

Ohhh, that stuff.

I'm pretty handy with a khakkhara, but that's probably not the kind of weapon you're looking for and I don't have one here, anyway. I'm also real good without a weapon at all, but I suspect you're not after martial arts...

Good luck finding someone!

[bitofafop]

[Well, he can't see it, but that does get Art's attention.]

Thank you. Though I'm not adverse to hand-to-hand, if you felt up to it. It's good exercise all the same.

[its_dad_sanzo]

Hmmm, maybe. I'm so out of practice, though, you'd have to go easy on me!

[You're such a liar, Koumyou.]

[bitofafop]

[Artemis is convinced though. Uuugh does he have to?]

I suppose I can try to, if we both need the practice.

Artemis Entreri. I'm still fairly new here.

[its_dad_sanzo]

I'm still new, too!

I'm priest Koumyou Sanzo.

[There's your first hint that he's full of shit, Artemis. What kind of priest knows martial arts... and then gets 'so out of practice'? But then again, Koumyou somehow radiates 'slacker', even through video.]

[bitofafop]

[Oh well, that's information he would have appreciated at the start of the conversation.]

You're a priest.

[Disappointment? They're only JUST below wizards on the (incredibly long) list of people he inherently dislikes, if for different reasons. But that does make him suspicious of that 'out of practice' schtick. They aren't exactly pacifists where he's from.]

[its_dad_sanzo]

Yes.

[Koumyou folds his hands into his opposite sleeves, smiling that squinty smile of his.]

The protector of a holy relic, not a preacher. Though it's true enough I haven't done much fighting in... hm, if you count teaching, ever since my son was very small.

[bitofafop]

[On one hand: not being a preacher is a point in his favor. On the other: relic protector is still ew.]

Not sure how old your son is, but it sounds like a bit beyond 'out of practice', then.

[STILL FEELS KIND OF SKETCHY BUT.]

I don't make a habit of fighting priests.


((ooc; SLAMS BACK IN god and I'm sorry for all this waiting.))

[its_dad_sanzo]

Well, he's twenty... six? now. But he was thirteen when I died. I woke up here a moment later, and now he's so much bigger! He's survived so much.

[Koumyou all but beams. Any excuse to gush about his son, honestly. But then he pouts, just a little bit.]

What's wrong with fighting priests?
