[Hello, Discedo. This is Hughes sitting at his desk, looking quite thoughtful. In fact, his pen and paper are at the ready, and he's tapping his chin with his pen before he starts talking. Beside him is a plate of half-eaten apple pie.]

Right. Any updates from the Watch? If there's anything I can do to help, just ask.

Also, I've been thinking. Does anyone around here teach self-defense skills of any kind? 'Cause I feel like opening my own class for those who are interested to learn a thing or two about knife fighting. I can also help you out if you don't know how to use a gun properly, but knives are my specialty.

There's still no definite schedule at this point, though. [Hughes laughs sheepishly.] I'll keep you guys posted, don't worry. And I'll let you in on what these classes will be about. Long-range fighting will be all about knife throwing and accuracy. Close-range classes will deal with hand-to-hand combat. You don't have to take both, but if you're game, go for it! [He grins.] But remember - this isn't child's play. This is serious fighting, so if you're under 13, I would like to see some permission from your guardian here in Discedo.

Still interested? Fill out this form. If you've got any other questions, now's the time to ask. Actually, I've got a question - when is the gym usually free? I could conduct my classes at the park, but...the gym's a lot safer. [The transmission changes to text briefly.]



[Back to video. Hughes looks a lot happier now.]

Stay tuned for more details! And in the meantime... [HAVE AN 8x10-INCH PORTRAIT OF HIS FAMILY. Yes, that's all you can see. That's him in casual wear and with a big smile on his face, with an arm around a woman with short brown hair. She's carrying a young pigtailed girl, about two or three.] Have a look at my beautiful wife and my beautiful daughter! Doesn't Elysia look divine? Oh, it's as if she and Gracia were sent down from heaven to brighten up my life! I bet this picture was sent down from heaven too, don't you think? I still can't decide where to hang this up...I could put it close to my bed so that it'll be the first thing I see every morning, or over my work desk for that burst of inspiration... [Back to Hughes, just hugging that picture to his chest and spazzing and being completely un-serious now.]

[:D!]

And to you as well, Maes. As for the picture, perhaps you could carry it around with you?

[There must be one you can carry around, at least.]

Ha ha, I could, but it's too big to fit in any of my pockets. I think I'll just leave it someplace where I can see it no matter where I turn in my apartment.

Ahh. I suppose that works well enough. And you could put another at your desk. How many do you have, again?

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-08 01:31 pm (UTC)(link)
As many as I can fit in my wallet and in my pockets! [He...never keeps track. Or does he?]

Although I'm pretty sure that, including this new framed picture, that brings the total up to about...34.

[jakkdaf Hughes, you are funny and Meryl likes you. He might try to adopt you ]

Thirty-four. That's better than I'm doing for my child. But Elysia is just as cute.

[OH I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT.]

Well, you probably show how much you love your kid in a different way. Can you tell me about him? Or her?

[DONT TEST HIM HE WILL SO DO IT. YOU CANNOT RESIST ZOMBIEDAD.]

I think I would take photographs, but I don't have the device for it. [i.e. a camera. What is technology? Something Meryl does not like. 8| ]

His name is Med'an. He's quite a bit older than Elysia, but I still remember what he was like when he was little. I had to child-proof everything in the house once he learned to walk...

[Kids, amirite?]

[identity profile] knifedaddy.livejournal.com 2010-11-19 12:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[BUT...BUT IT SOUNDS SO ADORABLE.]

You don't have cameras - anything to take pictures with where you came from, is that it?

I wish your Med'an and my Elysia could meet and have a little play date! I bet they would get along as well as we do! [Inorite? Hughes will worry about the childproofing later when he's done spazzing.]
