Ser Coupe.

[ sounding entirely as though he's facing her and having a real conversation rather than throwing her name into the ether. ]

What say you about a friendly wager, considering the tourney.  If my Division's members place in more events than yours do, you will have to...

[ a pause to consider. ]

Well, I'm sure someone will have a good idea of what the losing Division Head will have to do. Do the members of the Kirkwall outpost have any suggestions?

Clean latrines.

An old standard! Splendid. For how long?

[thunderproof]

❰ immediately: ❱

Am I allowed to defect from Forces to Research?

❰ whatever adalia feels about thranduil, she does not want to contribute to native templar bragging rights in any way whatsoever. ❱

[rowancrowned]

[ sitting this one out. your call, coupe. ]

[sangsues]

Surely a day would be suffering enough. I can't imagine either of you are lacking in work to do. The loom of deadlines hastened by one day cleaning alone be enough to horrify the likes of the Forces division.

( go team research whoo )

[aenseidhe]

If Beleth's still out, I consider myself on leave from Scouting.

[ because nah, Val, nah. Also, this seems more fun. ]

Mind if I join Research for a week or two?

[ this is probably not very fair, sorry, coupe ]

[strangel]

If she is losing, she has to do something?

( this is a great idea, never mind that Chicken Lady has not agreed yet )

Loser must wrestle crocodiles. Croco-something that you are having in this world.

[rowancrowned]

If you describe a crocodile [ careful annunciation. ] I will do my very best to find its Theodsian cousin.

[limier]

[ is THAT how it's gonna be ]

The three members of Forces who place most highly during the Tourney will receive a public apology from me, for the perceived slight of their choice.

[ one-time offer!! ]

We are — of course — accepting temporary additions from the ranks of Diplomacy and Scouting. I would not deign to impeach the loyalty of any member of Research.

[rowancrowned]

If Monsieur de de Foncé and Enchanter Averesch would like to join the wager, I would not object. Otherwise, it seems as though Ser Coupe and I will need to split Scouting and Diplomacy between us.

[ mm yes give him all the athletic ones to make up for his collection of librarians. ]

i'm sorry

[strangel]

Peaches?

[limier]

It would be most unfortunate, were the ship to Wycome to leave without you.

[rowancrowned]

We cannot all be blessed with heafy swords to swing about, Ser Coupe. Some of us are burdened with dry and neglected tomes.

[ thranduil you have two swords in your office. ]

[strangel]

Crocodile is being... big, scaley beast. Living in water and on land. Looks like log when it rests, and then—

( a dramatic snap and growl, and presumably he made a giant chomping gesture with her arms, but alas he misses this gift. )

Very strong bite.

[elegiaque]

This is the most I've ever been tempted by a position with this organisation.

[thunderproof]

Am I to be held hostage in Forces for my participation in the tourney, Commander? Perhaps I will simply throw the match.

❰ ur not her real dad!!! ❱

i'm not

[limier]

Only for winners.

[strangel]

You must provide proof of peaches. Bad to be promising and then not having.

[limier]

If you've sword troubles, you ought see that Doctor of yours.

[limier]

A gurgut.

[ you're both welcome ]

[limier]

To think, we might have cracked Corypheus moons ago.

[justice_is_blond]

They hardly take all that long to clean. Three cleanings wouldn't take from work too much and it would give opportunities for an audience. I'd enjoy watching a Templar scrub them down.

[limier]

I've faith in your abilities, [ and desire to brag ] I merely remind you which Division controls our naval ties.

[limier]

Are you suggesting a bribe, Helena?

[ because she can afford this one so that's fine ]

[rowancrowned]

The gurgut or the latrines, ser, or shall we hold off for more suggestions?
