[ Keep thy enemies closer, isn't that how the quote goes? ]

Do you really believe I'll have the time to bother with that while running a tournament?

[selfconcept]

Absolutely.

[ No doubts. ]

Or you'd do some other prank. Can't see you passing up an opportunity like that. There would be no reason for you to offer a lap pillow otherwise.

[trollophoroi]

Hm, very well. Have it your way but if you so desire a nap, the offer stands.

[ Absolutely no trust here, wow! ]

[selfconcept]

[ He knows what you are.

Despite that, a match passes and despite how this is supposed to be entertaining for him, Fandaniel being the main commentator and all, he still finds himself exhausted and sleepy... he's had a lot to think about in the past week or so. But he eventually dozes off and his head goes plop onto Fandaniel's lap. The wolf helm covers his head very well so that his expression can't be seen too clearly, but he is taking a very impromptu nap right now. ]

[trollophoroi]

[ And despite that initial urge to, indeed, do something nefarious to poor Hien while he's napping, Fandaniel... won't. Shocking, isn't it? But no. He meant it when he said commentating would keep him busy and so it does, leaving Hien free to nap peacefully using his lap as a pillow.

The real surprise here is how well Hien can sleep through the megaphone, actually... ]

[selfconcept]

[ When Hien is tired, he can sleep through anything, but the actual factors are that he knows Fandaniel would be commentating, so he zones that out in particular. But if there was an unfamiliar stimuli, he would jolt awake (like last time). He's pretty good about this when it comes to sleeping... it's one of the few joys in life.

But he ends up sleeping through two fights before blearily blinking and lifts himself off Fandaniel's lap. What a good nap. ]

What round is it now...

[trollophoroi]

[ Talk about a power nap. ]

The third match of round one. You've missed a good chunk of Owen being absolutely destroyed by Mithrun.

[selfconcept]

Mm... I bet he liked that.

[ He looks over at the arena. Oh... That sure is a smackdown going on. ]

[trollophoroi]

Hmm, perhaps not with quite as much violence as Mithrun puts into his fighting.

[ As if Fandaniel would know... right? ]

[selfconcept]

I don't think that has deterred any of you.

[ With Hien, but he doesn't want to say that. ]

[trollophoroi]

And I don't think you realize just how efficiently violent Mithrun is.

[ Hien cannot compare, sorry big man. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien only catches the tail end of Mithrun's victory over Owen, so he can't really say, but he does know one thing: ]

He's had a lot of time and practice to be as brutal as you make him sound out to be.

[ He glances over at Fandaniel. ]

I would say that being a Harvest Cleric is a good enough handicap for me.

[ For what? He doesn't say. ]

[trollophoroi]

At level 100, it isn't much of a handicap at all.

[ One moment, he needs to wrap up this match and announce the next. He does exactly that and it's very animated and cheerful. Just terrible. Ah, but where were they? ]

Why choose Harvest Cleric, anyhow? I feel it isn't exactly your style.

[selfconcept]

I chose the class because of that reason.

[ He sighs. Hien is absolutely the kind of healer that tells you to die if you don't listen to what he says. ]

Hence, handicap.

[trollophoroi]

I see... Oh, let me guess! Your usual style! It would be a...

[ Excuse him while he drops his hands against wall between them and the arena down below as if adding to the dramatic effect, like they might do in a game show. ]

Flick Reaper.

[selfconcept]

Tribal Grappler or Steam Gunner. Waiting to cast spells isn't very fun.

[ Y...eah.... ]

[trollophoroi]

Really?

[ The grim reaper getup the man usually goes certainly fooled him. Oh well. ]

Steam Gunner does look rather fun, doesn't it? Though I don't think I'd ever go with something as close range as Tribal Grappler.

[selfconcept]

There's thrill in both classes. Maybe I could feel what breaks in my hands rather than casting a spell to do that for me.

[ :3c ]

You like to play it safe?

[trollophoroi]

[ If Fandaniel had even one iota of self-preservation, he would not grab — or grapple, in this case! — the low-hanging fruit offered here but... ]

Ah, so you enjoy manhandling others? How naughty of you, Hien.

[ He ignores Hien's question. It's self-relevant. He likes sniping at people from a distance like the grief he is! Though considering how close he's gotten in some of his PK attempts, playing it safe doesn't seem to be the case. ]

[selfconcept]

[ This man who just lets himself get attacked... Hien thinks that he himself was fucked up, but whenever he sees Fandaniel, he sees a different flavor of fucked up. ]

You'd probably like that, huh.

[ Deadpan. Absolutely monotone. ]

[trollophoroi]

[ There will forever be something too funny about Hien's reactions, even the sheer lack of them. Fandaniel can't help but give him a wink. ]

Only if you're offering, admin-sama.

[ Ah, but look, this match is over! Onto the next! Fandaniel turns his attention back to the arena and raises his megaphone to go through the usual spiel of congratulations to the winner and who's up next. ]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien quietly watches Fandaniel do his thing and wondering...

Then lightly taps his head with a fist. ]

Have you considered being a main commentating announcer?

[trollophoroi]

[ Tap, tap, and Fandaniel turns to quirk an eyebrow at Hien. Being a commentating announcer...? At that, he laughs. ]

Really? And just how long do you think it would take me before I tell everyone I hope their teams all lose because I'm sick of them all?

[selfconcept]

Would fifteen minutes be too generous? I think it would be funny to watch, at least.

[ Unless he has to pretend that everything is just peachy keen. :) ]

[trollophoroi]

Only fifteen?

[ Hand to his chest, pouting, he scolds Hien. ]

Please, you underestimate me! I could last a full thirty minutes, surely.
