[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.]

[Of course he's going to wrap an arm around Veronica and pull her close. A Cheshire grin crossing his face when he stares at her.]

I'd be very willing to teach you. Of course, you can always repay me later.

[protectthecastle]

[Of course he'd be pulling her close and she stares right back, her smile dropping just a little bit because she's not entirely sure what to do.]

Then I would be most obliged if you would.

[She sets her hands on his chest, mostly to get back some measure of control in this situation.]

Can you teach me now?

[playboyknight]

[He lets go of her and gestures for her to look over at the table he's set up.]

Of course. Go get a bow and we can begin the lessons.

[protectthecastle]

[She's not sure how to choose a bow but she picks one that looks promising but which may actually be a bit too big for her. Not that she notices as she makes her way back over.]

And now?

[playboyknight]

[He puts his hands on his hips before going back to the table, grabbing a bow that's more suited for her, then gives it to her.]

Use this one instead. Now we can begin the lessons.

[protectthecastle]

Oh!

[Veronica takes the bow with her other hand before putting the one she was carrying back.]

Thank you.

[She runs her finger along the string before smiling at him.]

How do we start?

[playboyknight]

[Angelo stands next to her and points at the target in front of her.]

Aim your arrow at that target. I want to see how you hold your bow as you do too.

[protectthecastle]

[Veronica only hesitates a little because she's seen people hold bows before, but the way she holds the bow is exactly like someone who has no idea what she's doing.]

[playboyknight]

[Angelo walks up behind her because this was unacceptable. He then wraps his arms around her in a way as to adjust her position so she's in a more proper one. He also helps her keep her arms steady.]

All right, now let go of the arrow.

[protectthecastle]

[She does as she's told, shifting so that her position is more proper, smiling up brightly and briefly at him as he helps to steady her arms.

The arrow falls short of his mark because she's not strong to begin with but she still looks happy as she turns to him.]

So that is how it is done!

[playboyknight]

[He smiles at her, though he keeps her close to him.]

Well you're rather good for a beginner if I may say so.

[protectthecastle]

[She notices but allows it for now, lowering the bow.]

Thank you. I was not able to hit anything but perhaps with practice I could? May I try again?

[playboyknight]

[He pulls away now and crosses his arms.]

Try again without my assistance this time.

[protectthecastle]

[Veronica won't call him back, especially because he's told her to try on her own.]

All right.

[At least her posture is a lot better this time and the arrow makes it a bit farther.]

How was that? [She sounds so happy.]

[playboyknight]

[He applauds her after watching her perform.]

Much better! Keep that up and you'll be a professional archer in no time.

[protectthecastle]

[She can't help smiling upon hearing that.]

Thank you. I am not certain I would want to be a professional archer, but I would like to be better than I am now.

[playboyknight]

[He smiles more at her when she does.]

You're most welcome. I'll teach you all I know regardless.

[protectthecastle]

[If his aim is just to make her smile a lot, it's definitely working. It's at this point that she turns to Angelo-bot who is still working on his foot-archery.]

You have activated your robot. [It's a statement more than a question since she can obviously see two of him.]

And you have been all right?

[playboyknight]

[Angelo sets his sights on his double who seems to be doing good, despite having very little training. It's remarkable to him.]

Yes, he's like my best friend so I don't see him hurting me any time soon. I feel at times, he's the only one who truly understands me.

[protectthecastle]

I see.

[Holly Heights has given her an almost automatic suspicion of packages being sent to her from strangers, but she can appreciate Angelo being happy if nothing else.]

I am glad to hear that you have found someone who understands you.

[playboyknight]

It's good to see CERES did something right for once. Even if I'm still suspicious of them, I'm willing to give them some benefit of the doubt.

[He looks over Veronica over and can't help smiling at her a bit.]

Did you know I have someone else who makes me feel that way aside from my double? Can you guess who it is?

[protectthecastle]

[She's not so sure that CERES actually did something right...but keeps quiet and smiles instead.]

Will you not tell me?

[It's her, isn't it...she can guess that much but doesn't like assuming.]

[playboyknight]

[He leans in close to her with a grin.]

I wanted you to guess, but since you insist... [He takes one of her hands into his and kisses it.] It's the person standing right in front of me.

[protectthecastle]

[Getting kissed on the hand is actually really nice and she can't help smiling with a tilt of her head.]

I see. I thought it might be, but I wasn't entirely certain. [Her fingers squeeze lightly around his.]

...Thank you.

[playboyknight]

What are you thanking me for? I'm only speaking the truth. [He puts a hand on her shoulder.] You must also be some type of fortune teller or mystic if you knew what I was going to say.
