First very important order of business: I hear there is some sort of combat competition going on in some month's time or whatever here? I also hear that there are some form of decorative awards being offered to the winners of those combat competitions? If anyone could provide me with more information on said event and, if possible, the contestants

Combat?

[winewomenand]

Combat. Assumedly with sword and lance and bow and arrows and whatever other pointy deadly thing made to extend one's reach.

I also hear there are horses involved, but I can't stand the beasts personally. I don't trust anything bigger than me with a mind of its own.

[7thborn]

I can't say I was expecting that as an answer. Bugger. I was hoping to get in a bit of pratice. Has the City even got enough horses for an event like that?

[winewomenand]

Apparently! Unless of course there are a lot of smutty little weirdos into pony play around here, in which case, more power to them, but I'm not into latex. It's sweaty.

[7thborn]

How unfortunate. Bloody hell, this is what I get for checking the Network in the middle of the night.

[winewomenand]

Very unfortunate. There are so many interesting things you can do with the stuff, but I just-- no, I can't do it. I can't take sweating under my clothes like that.

I'm sorry-- we were talking about that competition, weren't we. What kind were you hoping for?

[7thborn]

I'm not even going to hazard a response to that.

... Well, I'm not so sure I was hoping for anything, really. It's just that I'm a bit out of practice with duelling magic. And honestly, I doubt my brothers're willing to have a proper match with me, though... Maybe if I egg them on enough.

[winewomenand]

Dueling magic. For that matter, magic. Is every other woman in this place a witch or something of the sort? I spoke to another one just the other day.

[7thborn]

Er, excellent guess. I wouldn't put it past this place, really?

[winewomenand]

I wouldn't either, although I'm not sure if this is a negative or positive opinion I've bequeathed. Either way, the other witch told me that she could turn water into wine with certain spells, and that piqued my interest more than just casually.

[7thborn]

Well, it's not exactly difficult if you've learned the proper spellwork.

[winewomenand]

And if you have the natural-born talent, I hear. Little smart-ass. I should expect no less from a girl with your hair color.

[7thborn]

Well, pardon me.

[winewomenand]

Yes, pardon you. What are you going to do to make up for it?

[7thborn]

I've no reason to make anything up to anyone, let alone some random bloke on the Network.

[winewomenand]

No, but I figured it was worth a shot in the dark. What's your name, kid?
