estoria | [open] Double your pleasure, double your fun

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.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[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.

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.

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?

[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.]

[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.

[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.

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.

You told me that you were comfortable around me. That you felt as if you could talk to me. I do not think it is so much fortune telling as it is me remembering the things you have said.

It means you have a good memory. [He laughs just a little bit.] I already told you if you're not careful, I might end up falling in love with you.

Thank you. [Though on him telling her that he might end up falling in love with her once again.] And I am still uncertain what it is I am doing that you like so much.

[She's just treating him like a normal person?]

Being yourself of course. [He gives her a small wink with a grin.]

I see.

[She had actually hoped for a more specific answer though.]

Just that?

Well if you want me to list all your good qualities, I can. [There's him giving her an amused smile.]

Oh. [She's never actually thought of herself as having good qualities. Though people have given her a list before.]

No, I meant whether or not it was something I was doing.

[He leans in close to her now and smiles.]

It is. Shouldn't you take pride in the fact you're such a positive influence on others?

[If he hadn't promised he wasn't going to kiss her out of the blue ever again without her permission, she probably would have leaned back. As it is though, she trusts him (and his promise) and stays where she is.]

I have never thought of myself as being a positive influence. People are free to do as they choose, that is something I have always believed. Rather than taking pride in my own accomplishments, I would much rather take pride in theirs. I believe in you. I always have and I would much rather that you do good for your own sake and not for mine.

[He's not hurt in the slightest, more amused than anything. Of course he pretends to act like he's hurt.]

You wound me, Veronica. Here I am singing your praises and you shoot me down. Maybe I shouldn't do that for you anymore.

I do not mean to "shoot you down". If you truly do not wish to praise me any longer, I will not stop you. But thank you. For praising me.

Oh you sweet woman. This is why I praise and admire you, because of how kind you are.

[She's not entirely sure how to respond to that, actually.]

But I am not doing anything in particular. This is how you are supposed to treat the people around you, is it not? Sincerity begets sincerity. That is what I have always believed.

[He takes her hands into his, even kissing them before looking up at her.]

Not everyone believes that I'm afraid to admit, especially where I'm from. So having your type of mindset is refreshing.

I see. I am sorry to hear that, and thank you.

[For telling her that her mindset was refreshing, of course.

That does explain why he is the way he is though.]

You don't need to be sorry, dear Veronica. It's just how things are.

[Angelo may or may not revealing parts of himself to her, but she's already seen a lot of him as it is.]

It should not be.

[And she'd say that as many times as necessary. She has a very definite view of how people should be treated and how people should act.]

Life's not fair, you should know that. No matter how much we want something to be, sometimes it can't be.

[While she may have a definite view on things, he's taking the most realistic and logical approach to things.]
