[open] Double your pleasure, double your fun

[playboyknight]

Who: Angelo (playboyknight) and you!
When: IC: 6/23 | OOC: 4/6, late morning into late afternoon
Where: CERES Academy Archery Range
What: Keeping to his word, people who wanted to learn archery from Angelo are now going to from the master of the bow or so he thinks. Also he may have sent texts to wrong numbers too, so feel free to jump in or anyone at the Academy grounds can join in too. Oh and his robot double will be there, so feel free to have yours be there too.
Rating/Warning: None other than maybe some cuts or accidents. But otherwise, it’s harmless.

---

After sending out various texts to everyone wanting lessons and some others accidentally while rushing in the morning to get out the door with his robot double coming alongside him, Angelo then arrives at CERES Academy to prep the Archery Range for all of them before the appointed time along with said robot double helping him out. Thankfully the academy had spare bows for people in the archery club, so Angelo instructs his double to do most of the work while he set up the tables for the bows to be laid out on and readies himself for each lesson he's going to be teaching everyone. His robot double even decides to help out with the lessons as well, which is great for him. If you're already at the Academy, you might even be seeing him do his work with said robot. Once their work is at last done, people will see two different scenarios depending on when they arrive or are already on the Academy Grounds and haven't found their way to Angelo and his double yet:

[ Scenario I ]

Should your character arrive early or already be on the school grounds but hasn't found Angelo until now, they'll see him practicing his warm up exercises (mostly stretching, handstands, and cartwheels) and some new archery techniques he wants to try before expecting anyone to arrive. What kind of techniques? Well if you can count using an archery bow with his feet (and yes, he's not wearing shoes just socks) as a type of archery technique, then there you go. His robot double will even be practicing alongside him and trying to match his every movement.

[ Scenario II ]

If you've arrived either right on time or once again be on school grounds but haven't stumbled onto him till now, Angelo will be performing more bow tricks. This includes shooting multiple arrows at one in a straight line on the target set up or be doing various types of splits as he fires his arrows. Why he'll even be jumping in the air to do some fancy trick shots too! Wow he's so talented and impressive, right? Of course he is. Even his double is impressed and making attempts to follow in his original's footsteps.

[ooc: Also because I forgot, Angelo has a permissions post about one of his special abilities that may or may not be applicable to your character! Feel free to reply if you feel the need to.]

[specialization]

He'd tried to leave the double at home with strict instructions, and its expression had been so like a puppy that Chrollo had conceded. Or at least, he'd say that. Truth was that he was fascinated by the creation, how it talked to him and was constantly learning something new. But it is told to sit on the sidelines and wait, not to engage in the lessons itself.

While their teacher was showing off his admittedly impressive tricks, Chrollo takes a moment to quietly affix a certain card to the center of the target he picks out for himself. Just added motivation to strike that point.

Deep breaths, trying to relax and go to a better pose. He'll wait for Angelo to finish before actually trying to shoot, though. Only seems polite.

[playboyknight]

[Angelo hands a bow off to his double before taking notice of Chrollo. After doing a small backflip towards the other, he greets him with a smile.]

I'm going to take a guess and say you're here for lessons.

[specialization]

And your guess would be correct.

[the smile's returned on Chrollo's face, a gesture of politeness.]

But I didn't want to speak up and interrupt your display.

[playboyknight]

It's fine, I was getting in some exercise is all. [There he goes shrugging his shoulders with a small smile.] How about introducing yourself so I know who you are.

[specialization]

Chrollo. It's good to meet you in person, finally.

[after their conversation, it'd be a lie to say he wasn't interested in what kind of person Angelo was.]

[playboyknight]

Oh yes, I remember you. So this is what you look like in person.

[He's also a bit interested in Chrollo just by glancing at his appearance alone.]

[specialization]

[with the bandanna obscuring his forehead and his choice of mostly black attire, his fashion sense is a little questionable, but not everyone can be as stylish as Angelo.]

I'm trying to get used to using the video function more, so people know who to look for when we arrange to meet, but old habits...

[what, was he not what you expected?]

[playboyknight]

[He's the male fashionista of Cerealia, no one can really compare to him.]

Ah don't worry about it, I was the same as you when I first arrived. I could barely use the voice function. Now though I'd say I've gotten the hang of things.

[Your attire leaves much to be desired, Chrollo.]

[specialization]

[he could dress better. he just doesn't care.]

One day I'll be as confident as you are. Though I doubt I'll be able to pull off those acrobatic feats of yours.

[is your ego big enough yet, Angelo, because it should grow more.]

[playboyknight]

[His ego is a blimp, but it can probably get bigger.]

It's unfortunate, but true. No one can be as almost close to perfection as I am. Yet for confidence, I say you may be able to one day.

[specialization]

[Chrollo has to smother a laugh at hearing that, but keeps a straight face with effort.]

We'll see about that.

[mainly because his confidence is a lot more subtle than yours.]

I'll be honest - I know how to do this in theory, but actual practice I'm completely new to.

[playboyknight]

[He's not shy about how confident is. He'll even look one of the open targets before looking back at Chrollo.]

Show me what you're able to do and I'll be the judge.

[specialization]

[Chrollo nods, picking up the bow. from his posture it's clear he's not relaxed enough - it's an approximation of the posture one should have, even if it's not all there. aiming he can do, but when he lets go, the flaws are still there, and the arrow goes off to the right of the target. there's a base there, but shooting a bow is different than throwing something, and he knows he needs to practice.]

[playboyknight]

[There's an applaud coming from Angelo. Despite him missing, he's quite pleased to see how Chrollo is doing for a first time. He can't help but be impressed by that.]

For your first time, you did rather well.
