open to all;

[swordboning]

Who: Archer 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.]

(They dislike you because you purposely push them away...)

I guess it's just something to talk about in the future. In the meantime, we should enjoy today!

[ She gives Archer a flyer. It doesn't have much written or drawn on it. It just reads "if you read this, you better head over to Golden Archers! [insert location here]"

I put these up earlier. I hope lots of people come!

[swordboning]

You put too much work into this.

[Shaking his head at the flying!!!!!!]

But that does mean you're probably hanging around, aren't you?

[psycholawgy]

Of course, I am! I'm here to see you in action, dummy!

[ Hint: Moral support. ]

[swordboning]

I didn't expect otherwise. This is your venture, after all. What is it? An attempt to make Archer more confident in himself?

[psycholawgy]

That's one!

[ You can be confident all you like, but that might not be enough for happiness. ]

And I like watching things like this. It's a good way to study.

[swordboning]

I'm already confident enough in myself. When it comes to swordmaking or cooking, no one can defeat me.

So...?

[There must be more.]

[psycholawgy]

I don't want to talk all serious when we're bound to get interrupted by people.

But you should know that that isn't all there is when it comes to believing in yourself.

[swordboning]

You should be okay with it, doctor. I am.

[Not going to let her off.]

[psycholawgy]

It's confidential!

[ And what if she yells in public! WHAT THEN ]

[swordboning]

As far as I know, that's up to the patient. But whatever you think!

[Not caring!!!!!!!!]

[psycholawgy]

[ Totally getting worked up now.

Grabs some a slice of tomato and smacks it on Archer's cheek. ]

[swordboning]

[Picking the seed off his face. Seriously?]

That was completely mature.

[psycholawgy]

I'm sorry I can't be an old fogey like you.

[swordboning]

[Huffing. Athena should be used to this.]

How old do you think I am?

[psycholawgy]

No one's supposed to answer that question when asked. It could only lead to arguments.

But the white hair is very telling!

[ THANKS WIDGET!!! ]

[swordboning]

My white hair wasn't earned from age. But I supposed that's expected of a machine. I got it because I surpassed my limits and had to reform myself before I was killed. That kind of trauma will leave a mark on anyone.

[psycholawgy]

[ Jots that down in her mental notes. ]

So, how old are you, really?

[swordboning]

I don't know.

[Legit answer. No trace of a lie in Archer voice.]

[psycholawgy]

Well, you're definitely still older than I am, I bet.

[swordboning]

Obviously. Physically, I'm probably around twenty-nine or thirty years old. You're just a kid to me.

[psycholawgy]

[ GODAMMIT ARCHER. ]

I might be young, but I'm no kid!

[swordboning]

No, to someone like me, you're definitely a kid.

[psycholawgy]

There's a lot more tomatoes here, you know!

[swordboning]

Those happen to be for the customer. You don't want to use those up.

[psycholawgy]

[ Good point. ]

... You got lucky this time.

Anyway, I have something to ask you when we're done for the day.
