Kicking butts and taking names

Subject: Kicking butts and taking names Tue May 02, 2017 11:53 am

The sun was bright, the sky was blue, a slight breeze was blowing, the trees were gifting us with a refreshing shadow; all in all, everything was perfect. Everything but me. It was one of those times again, the low self esteem times, where I just wallowed in my self-pity until it passed and I was my old, hot-headed self. And it was at these times that I found myself deep inside the forest, the beauty of the landscape ironically contrasting with my mood. With a huff, I stabbed my sword in the ground and sat down cross-legged next to it, leaning back against a centuries-old pine tree as I took my new book out of my bag and resumed my reading in the quiet of nature.

Simcha Yoshida is online

Listening to: For Whom the Belly Tolls
"may the way that i go be regrettable, gruesome"

simcha had just been hacking her way through the woods out of pure boredom. she'd completed all of her training, and she'd done all her chores, and she was tired of throwing axes at targets down at the archery range. she was looking to fight a monster, or even just mess around with a couple of nymphs or something, but the forest seems just as quiet as simcha's day has been so far.

she doesn't find a monster, or a nymph, but she does find thea, reading under a tree. pfft. books. simcha's loads better than a stupid book. "hey, thea!" she calls out, jogging over.

I looked up, only about half an hour later, surprise evident on my face as I saw who probably was my only female friend approaching. "Simcha, hey! How come you're here? No more terrified newcomers to torture with your awesome ax throwing skills?"I teased the white haired camper as I stood up to greet her. "Or was it a nymph that caught your eye again, huh?"I chuckled, dusting off my pants from the dirt before putting the bookmark on the new page and placing the book back in the safety of my backpack.

she laughs loudly, throwing her head back and letting the sound echo around the woods. "somethin like those things," she says, running a hand through her bleach white hair. "i was hoping i'd find a monster to kill or some nymphs to race with, but i guess they all stayed home today."

"Poor Simcha, left all alone with nothing to do."I whined in a pouty voice to mock her. "Too bad I'm the only one left, right? No one else to entertain you but little old me. I guess you'll have to settle for what you have now, won't you? I know I'm not as good as what you're used to but you must make do with what you've got."I laughed, her own laugh contagious to anyone near by.

"pfft, shut up, man," she says, still laughing. "you know i think you're great." she means it, too. it was so hard to find people who could match simcha's pace who weren't either complete assholes like ares' kids, or over competitive like nike's kids. thea hit the sweet spot -- mean enough to be funny, but not so mean to be hurtful, and fast paced enough to keep pace with simcha in training.

"so!" she says brightly, clapping her hands together. "whatcha up to on this here day, m'lady?" her voice is all over exaggerated, and she dramatically curtsies for effect.
