Oh, right...money!

It was kind of embarrassing not even having the money to afford my own personal horoscope, and it seems like there's not going to be an opening for a 'diva extraordinaire' any time in the near future, so I went out and applied for the position of 'Court Page.' That means I get to learn to joust, right? Cross your fingers for me

Hm? What do you need?

[lovelyvenus]

I need you to try this mask on and throw something. Ideally candy, if you've got any.

[crimeas_hero]

...What?

[lovelyvenus]

Okay, forget the throwing stuff, just put the mask on and say the first poetic thing that comes to your head!

[crimeas_hero]

...I'm a mercenary. Silver-tongued speech is not something we mercenaries are known for.

[lovelyvenus]

...But you do save damsels, right? And I'm sure you can give an inspiring speech to fire up your men when the cards are down (or whatever), right?

[crimeas_hero]

...I guess I could. But there's a world of difference between addressing troops and reciting poetry.

[lovelyvenus]

Troops don't like poetry? What about romantic odes and stories?

[crimeas_hero]

Not really, no.

Oh. *Crosses Ike's name off 'The List™,' then rethinks and writes a question mark* Must keep my options open*

Thanks anyway, Ike!
