TRUTH OR DARE

[cactusy]

1) Post your characters, one per comment.
2) Comment around ICly asking other characters "truth or dare?"
3) Truth is self-explanatory; dares should involve tagging out to another character's top level somehow ("Insult someone you find terrifying", "Tell someone you think is hot one thing you find sexy about them", "Strike up a conversation using the most awkward non-sequitur you can come up with", etc.)

I don't really know how to use those. They weren't very common. I have a knife, though. That's better than nothing and I know how to use it.

[meadqueen]

It is better than nothing. Perhaps not against these crabs.

[solitarysoul]

Yeah [he grumbles] it'd be a lot better if I had a gun for those.

[meadqueen]

I don't like guns and I’d wish for one too after the incident at the bungalow!

If we find a crossbow would you like a chance at it?

[solitarysoul]

I've never used a crossbow...but its like a cross between a gun and a bow. I'd probably not have any trouble with it.

Yes, please.

[meadqueen]

We don't have them yet, but our enemies do so we may someday.

[solitarysoul]

What about, um, normal bows?

[meadqueen]

I know how to make a bow, but not the string.

[She’d always acquired her bowstrings from the tanner fully prepared]

[solitarysoul]

[Damn, if only he'd asked August about his bow...though the old man probably wouldn't have stuck around to answer.]

Maybe somebody else does. But I imagine it'd be different than using a gun anyway.

[meadqueen]

It requires more strength, I think. A shortbow wouldn't be impossible for you to use.

[solitarysoul]

That makes sense. I'm stronger than I look though.

[His was no bodybuilder, and frame was generally thin, but Levi is in excellent shape. Aside from being slightly malnourished. Thank the army for that.]

[meadqueen]

Many people are, it seems.

[A lot of even the skinny or tiny people here are used to better nutrition than Randvi could dream of]

A longbow might be a bit tall unless we find you a horse.

[solitarysoul]

[He's not that short! But he remembers August's bow being huge, and if that was a long bow he doesn't know if he'd be able to handle something that big. Well, a bow that big at least.]

I guess that makes sense. Its better to start on something easier.

[meadqueen]

[She’s probably a bit shorter than him, but they're in the same range for handling tall weapons]

A short bow should work for most purposes. I doubt you'll be shooting from rooftops at this point.

[solitarysoul]

I haven't seen many rooftops anyway. But a tree could work in a pinch. Uh...not sure how easy it'd be to carry a bow up one though.

[Can you strap bows to your back, like he does with this rifle? He has no idea.]

[meadqueen]

There are a couple of mostly intact buildings at the “resort” but that land doesn't hold any particular strategic importance right now.

[solitarysoul]

Does anything here? Other than the village.

[meadqueen]

Our routes to the coast and the river, for food and water. The trade route to the Pacairs in the east, if that works out.

[solitarysoul]

That makes sense.

[meadqueen]

We may have to strike against that cabin someday, but I hope not.

[solitarysoul]

You can't always help it...but I hope not too.

[meadqueen]

I'd rather strike there than allow him to bring his fight to the village if it comes to that but I don't think this will be a clean fight.

[solitarysoul]

I don't really know much about him [Even less in actual game] but it seems like he's pretty bad.

[meadqueen]

He kills slowly, for his own amusement. It's best to avoid the area if you can.

[solitarysoul]

[He nods. He's seen too much of people like that.]
