[ it really is weighing on his mind. ]

Bringing it up again is making it seem suspicious. [ she will open up her bottle though as she gives it a smell ] What is your job?

Better than thinking about other stuff.

[ :) ]

The title is "agent", but they're basically bounty hunters chasing whatever Spirius tells them to go after. I got a lot of combat heavy assignments.

[ She's not good at comforting people, so she won't ask which other stuff he's referring. ]

Combat? [ Studying him ] Are you very strong?

[ hmmmmmm ]

Probably. But I don't have my gear, or any back-up - that makes things a lot harder.

[ his gear could mean a lot of thing. ]

What kind of gear are you looking for? Armor? Weapons?

Preferably both, but weapons are what pack the punch.

[ he makes a vague chopping downward motion with one hand ]

I can fight with a sledgehammer - hence, smashing.

[ she is going to study his arms for a moment ]

I will admit that a sledgehammer as a weapon is quite surprising. You must be concealing quite the impressive physique under your clothes.

[ ... ]

I didn't think it actually meant your nightly activities, but the man with green hair seemed to be having fun with it.

Uh, I don't think so?

[ he's got that anime physique but admittedly he does have nice biceps if you put on his tshirt costume ]

Yeah, I know I was egging it on- [ by being all ~coy~ instead of just saying "i use a hammer to fight" ] -but sometimes my mouth runs ahead of me. Sorry.

[ when will anime move away from phys-twinks ]

Is the hammer the only thing you use?

[ as for him being ~coy~ and encouraging it... ] There's no need to apologize. The joke was rather tame.

No, I also use twin blades and guns.

[ he's proficient with so many tools! ]

Oh right, you mentioned something about living next door to a brothel.

[ ... ]

What, uh. What's that like?

I heard that word before. What is a gun?

[ he's so talented ]

Living by one? It's not the safest place to live but it has gotten better over the years.

It's a weapon about this big on average- [ he sketches out the shape of a handgun in the air ] -that can launch projectiles at an extremely high velocity. Probably about... 1,500 feet per second?

[ yeah ]

... That sounds like how people talk about Elympios sometimes - it's dying, but not as quickly these days.

That sounds like a feifa. [ she will make a shape of a gun with her hand ] I have encountered one of those before.

[ or more like dodge one... ]

Is Elympios where you're from?

Yeah, I live in Trigleph - it's a city in Elympios. The environment has taken some serious hits, but we're about to start turning it around.

[ hopefully ]

[ it seems important to him. ]

What caused the environment to take some serious hits?

[ haha, well... ]

Human progress?

Ah, that would do it.

[ People tend to do things that serve themselves first instead of nature or those around ]

Other than gambling and smashing, what other skills do you have?

I can cook! And I'd say I'm pretty good at juggling a full schedule, thank you very much.

[ all useful skills for life! ]

Maomao, what do you like to do? You mentioned poison at the trial, but is there anything else?

Edited 2025-11-13 05:00 (UTC)

If it wasn't for the gambling, you would make a good partner for someone.

[ VERY USEFUL ]

What do I like to do? I like studying medicine. Diagnosing a problem and figuring out a treatment is a lot of fun.

[ ... he blushes a little at that comment. ]

Oh, you think so?

[ ahem ]

You're a regular medical detective! I bet Leia and Jude would love to meet you.

[ Wow he's blushing from that? ]

I do. [ He can meet her sisters... They would eat him alive... ]

Are Leia and Jude friends of yours?

[ the blush goes away very quickly, if nothing else! ]

Yeah - both of them used to be in the medical field, though Jude is more of an engineer these days and Leia is an investigative journalist. But they have the knowledge to appreciate the things you like.

[ he sounds very proud of them ]

Edited 2025-11-13 17:16 (UTC)

[ He must really like his friends. Moe. ]

An engineer and an investigative journalist... they must be very accomplished. Have they helped you during your jobs?

I wouldn't have survived until now without them.

[ it's said very seriously - Ludger clearly believes that without question. ]

Do you have anyone helping you test things? Overeager assistants tripped over themselves to take notes?

You're very grateful for them.

[ she almost wants to pat his head, but she won't ]

I don't. I rather like keeping a low profile and tend to test things by myself.
