[ he's skilled with it too. ]

Please, I know how to handle a saber.

[ he's also happy enough to let claude take point and put his big bad tracking skills to use, but there's enough alertness about him to make it clear he's not unaware of their surroundings. ]

[shaft]

[ There doesn't seem to be anything immediately noticeable, though Claude doesn't let that relax him, keeping the light from his phone pointed outward. ]

So, stranger-with-a-large-sword, what should I call you?

[chevaliered]

Aw, are we doing a name for a name?

[ introductions! ]

It's Crow. And what am I calling you?

[shaft]

Claude.

[ No point in being secretive when their profiles are just out there. ]

How're you enjoying student life?

[chevaliered]

[ almost mournfully: ]

I thought I was free. This is cruel.

[ great, apparently. ]

[shaft]

[ He laughs. ]

You and I are on the same page there. I'm curious to know what happens if we opt not to attend any.

[chevaliered]

Aw man, you just escaped the clutches of education too? I'm starting to think this place did this on purpose.

[ ... hmmm. ]

I'm curious about a couple of them, but... are you gonna test it out?

[shaft]

I was already dragged to one. [ He shrugs. ] And as much as I'd like to be a rebel, I don't want to lose currency here.

There's something I want to get back.

[chevaliered]

Right, we need vouchers and lots of them. Especially if we want to dick around figuring out what we can actually get our hands on.

[ ... ]

A personal item? Or are we talkig more ambiguous here?

[shaft]

A personal item from home, you could say.

Is there anything you're angling for?

[chevaliered]

There's a couple of things I'd like to get my hands on.

[ ... ]

One of them's very dependant on the state they can bring it here in though, but hey. My options are open.

[shaft]

You sound like you might just recreate your old home here.

[ which, that's legit ]

[chevaliered]

[ pfft. ]

Nah. Something from it, sure. But the whole thing? I don't think so.

[shaft]

So what exactly is it? You've already got quite the useful friend in hand there.

[chevaliered]

What, and ruin the surprise?

[shaft]

I'm not a huge fan of surprises.

[chevaliered]

Shame. I’m not sure I have the capacity to explain soldats from square one again so I guess you’ll just have to wait and see if I can provide a visual.

[shaft]

Hm, I guess I can understand that.

[ there it is! another growl, and Claude whips his flashlight around with a frown. ]

What is that?

[chevaliered]

[ sometimes being lazy has benefits, who knew ]

… Hm.

[ crow’s grasp on his weapon tightens slightly as he glances around, looking to see if he can pinpoint the source of the growling. or figure out the direction in came from. ]

Either that’s one angry goose or there’s something nasty out there.

[shaft]

[ Claude's moving his phone around, but there's nothing around for them to see... ]

It sounds like an animal, but I have a hard time imagining why one would be so close to people without either retreating or attacking.

[chevaliered]

... Curious but wary of us? Could be it's used to people on campus, but we're too new for it to pop up around us?

[ he's just throwing out ideas but... maybe? ]

[shaft]

That's an idea.

[ Hmmm. ]

You used to hunting animals?

[chevaliered]

Fish on the end of a line, maybe. I'm adaptable though.

[shaft]

That's more experience than me.

Though for all we know, this could be a prank. Some sort of hazing ritual.

[chevaliered]

One hell of a hazing ritual if it is. Especially if it's involving a wild animal in the woods.

[ he is listening carefully, just to see if he can get an idea of the direction any sounds are coming from. ]
