it's actually about ethics in blacksmithing ([personal profile] swordboning) wrote in [community profile] estoria2015-04-03 08:30 pm

open to all;

Who: Archer [personal profile] swordboning and YOU. (Maybe Athena too)
When: December 15th and on
Where: Right here where you need him. At least in the streets.
What: Golden Archers is sadly open. Come get your top tier food of choice.
Rating/Warning: Nah.


[Archer was fully cringing at the emblem Athena made and the fact that it was pasted on his apron. Well, inwardly at least. Athena got to have her way with the things went around here since she was the one who put in the money and most of the work. That meant her lame idea of what was great ended up plastering almost anything that had the surface for it.

But for a food stall, there was a serious lack of menu. Archer, though, intentionally wanted that. Restricting himself would only be admitting that he couldn't make things that people wanted outside of said menu. Obviously, there were some restrictions because supplies of some things were exceedingly rare or impossible to find. Which meant that rich people places had to be visited for that. But here were reasonable prices for fresh cooked food.]


Before you ask, there's no menu. So just tell me what you want.

[Customer service needed a little bit of work, however. And no, Saber, you weren't getting any free food.]

Good. [ Working on finishing off the crepe. ]

Another.

But I didn't mean it literally.

You commented that I don't gain any weight so where's the harm in me eating five or six before I start walking them off?

[ What a brat. ] Do I really have to use please? I'm paying you, aren't I?
psycholawgy: (get your head in the game!)

I've never done it before.

Sleight-of-hand magic is just as real as spellcasting magic.

[which is all he says as he scoops the cards up and starts to shuffle them]

So it looked like a normal deck, right? No doubles, no marked cards, no anything. . . although the first four cards on the top of this deck are pretty unique.

[he stops shuffling and flips the first four cards over-- they're all jacks, and each one is of a different suit]

I'm pleasant when I speak to others. [ She's not. ]
carptricks: (If my dreams get real bizarre)

Nothing. They've got a mind of their own and a tendency to jump to any place of the deck they wanna jump.

[flips the jacks over so they're face down again]

Far be it from me to stop them from doing whatever it is they wanna do.

You seriously have to tell people that? Why do you bother?

... well, I know why you bother. It's not necessary.
carptricks: (just a crack)

[personal profile] carptricks 2015-04-07 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
And I choose not to take away their free will.

[drops the stack of cards on top of the first overturned jack, so it's technically at the bottom of the deck]

This one tends to prefer it up top, anyway.

[. . . and then he flips over the first card on the stack, which is-- GASP-- the jack that should have been at the bottom]
psycholawgy: (how can you resist this face?!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-04-07 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
... You're such a bad actor.

[ ATHENA, YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. ]
carptricks: (bout rock n roll)

-- hey! That was me barely trying! Don't judge my acting skills without telling me like that.

[personal profile] codere 2015-04-07 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
How many lies have you told since you've come here? Just curious.
carptricks: (Lit up the world)

[kaito's used to dealing with skeptics; his stride isn't broken]

You don't believe me when I say they have a mind of their own?

[takes the second down turned jack, flips it over to show archer (it's the jack of clubs) and then slips it into the center of his deck]

[A PAUSE]


If you're that skeptical, you might wanna check your apron pockets.
psycholawgy: (butts!!!)

[personal profile] psycholawgy 2015-04-07 02:30 am (UTC)(link)
Now you know!

[ She's trying it, anyway! Rather slowly, too. GOTTA GET THE RHYTHM RIGHT. ]
