So, darlings.

A couple of things:

Firstly, I'm wondering what people have against one of the oldest professions? Yes, yes, I understand how young I am, but really is that your only objection?

Secondly, I am looking for a hand to hand sparring partner. While my sword skills are impressive, I'm afraid that my hand to hand has gone to the way side. I find that... unacceptable.

[ Her beating had brought that home. But she's not mentioning that. She adjusts herself in front of the console, wearing that ridiculously fluffy robe that she loves. Of course it's white. ]

So, darlings. Anyone willing to step up and answer either of those?

Oldest profession? [ She has no idea what you're talking about, partly because of culture, partly because she's a bitty. ]

But I would like a sparring partner. I'm not used to doing hand-to-hand without my warframe so it would be good practice.

[celticromanstone]

Whoring and nursing are the oldest professions of the world where I'm from. Since no one objects to the nursing, they obviously object to the whoring.

Warframe?

[ten_zero]

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with either of those.

My warframe can be thought of as a suit that I pilot. The skills I know while using it don't transfer as seamlessly as one would hope. Different size, different speed, different strength.

[Pepper is going to skip to the end on this one, since the first question is hitting a little closer to home than she'd like to discuss.]

I'm not an expert in hand-to-hand but I've been learning. Usually I'm at Jade Dojo about four days a week; we can try sparring, if you'd like.

[Heather was more likely to go hard on her than Gene, who had been teaching her to fight both hand-to-hand and with a sword.]

[celticromanstone]

[ Coward. Answer her first question, Pepper. ]

I'm at the Jade several times a week as well. Perhaps some morning we should spar?

[lasergrenades]

[It's less to do with cowardice and everything to do with relationship drama. :P Pepper is the master of conversational avoidance no she isn't, if Heather presses the issue.]

I'm usually there in the afternoons, but I can switch my schedule up a little and see what works. Were you studying a specific hand-to-hand style before?

Screened to Pepper only;

[denyamenti]

Don't invite her over any more than she already is, she's aggravating.

[lasergrenades]

Is she? I've basically never spent any time with her so I wouldn't know. [Granted, the people Bakura finds annoying might not be the same people Pepper does, but it's his space and she'll do her best to respect that.] I'll see what I can do. There's options.

The oldest profession is being a Diamond, one of the four rulers of Gem society. So I guess you're talking about being a Quartz? I always find them rude, personally. I didn't know you were a Gem. [She squints.]

[celticromanstone]

I'm not. I'm a whore, darling.

[peridiot]

Is that like a warrior? It sounds like it. So you must be like a Quartz.

..."oldest professions"?

[Before she could offer her own opinion on such a topic, Aya needed to know what exactly that topic was. Where was Hal Jordan to explain about carbon-based life forms and their hormones now?]

[celticromanstone]

[ Sigh. She's going to give a Class. ]

Whoring, darling. Nursing is the other one, but no one objects to that one.

[looksfine]

[Apparently so, because Aya took less than a second to process this latest bit of intel before realizing she had no vocabulary match in her database.]

[More information would be required.]

Forgive me, but I am not familiar with the term...whoring.

[Or, technically Nursing, though she did recognize the word Nurse and was able to make a vague deduction from there.]

[A frown.]

Has someone been harassing you regarding your other work?

[Because Raine won't stand for her people being harassed.]

[celticromanstone]

Mmm, not so much harassed. I assume you heard I was brought into the guild the other day?

[ruinsprofessor]

Yes, I was informed. I was also told your injuries had been dealt with?

[Raine would have helped, otherwise.]

I can help with the sparring, if you like. I'm usually better with swords, I fence back home, but I'm not too bad with hand-to-hand.

[That's a lie, he's pretty good at it, he had to be, superhero and all.

He'll just avoid the oldest profession part of that. YUP. His delicate sixteen year old heart can't handle it.]

[celticromanstone]

The more the merrier, dear. If you don't mind working with someone slightly older than you.

[ AHAHAHAHA Slightly... ]

[purrns]

[Haaaaaaaaa slightly. ]

Oh, no, not at all. I don't mind that at all. My usual sparring partner is my teacher, and he's an adult.

[consultantsdoctor]

[He frowns.]

Has someone been harassing you? [John thinks she's a damn good nurse and to be judged on her other profession is idiotic.]

[celticromanstone]

[ She lets out a short bark of a laugh. ]

Harassment I can handle, darling doctor. I'm used to that. The ignoring, however, grates.

I take it you didn't hear about me being brought in to the Guild the other morning?

[lostundercover]

You deserve better.

[Costigan means well, thinking that no woman deserves a fate she doesn't choose for herself and unable to imagine anyone choosing such a life.]

Try Valdis, for the sparring. She has a sword and she's a good fighter.

[celticromanstone]

Well, my sword card is full, I'm afraid, but yes, for the hand to hand, I'll look her up. Thank you, darling.

[lostundercover]

Good luck.
