The Salle, Saturday Morning

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

James attacked.
He lunged, blocked, parried, sidestepped the expected attack, and lunged again, moving swiftly, bringing the rapier around with a quickness that few could match, the blade slicing through the air as he practiced.
It had been a week since he vanished, sucked into an underw2ater hellhole through a rift, been attacked by crazed not-fully-human monsters (and killed them), and returned to Fandom. Since that time, he had been attacked by a shop clerk and a healer, snapped at by a large crystal and his big sister, and he had somehow lost his...Thursday riding partner.
And so James was in the salle, burning off some pent-up frustration.

"Yes, but in most cases, dancing doesn't lead to cuts, bruises, or death."

In most cases.

"Ever been in a mosh pit?" Or done the masochism tango?

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure. What is a mosh?" James does not ache for anyone's lips, nor much more for anyone's whips.

"It's a kind of dance that from what I can tell, involves a lot of flailing around and not caring if you push, punch or kick everyone around you. In fact I think you get bonus points for that."

But Leda has very nice lips. She tends to leave out the beatings though.

"I've had barfights like that, but not to music," he said with a smirk.

James may have very disturbing images of elves could he read the subtext.

"Heh. Once or twice I've thought it'd be cool to actually have a soundtrack playing while I was in a fight."

Least he hasn't heard about the Wild Elves in the Never Never that keep mortals as pets

"I've heard of this, on those movies on the TV. Doesn't happen in real life."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I bet I could make it work."

"I'd like to see it. But a fight's not like that dance the other week," he pointed out.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"No of course not. But the music wouldn't necessarily be like that either."

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"I hope not."

He sighed. "There was a fight, with music, in that place. Beautiful waltz, disfigured maniacs." James suppressed a shudder.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"What place?" Leda asked softly.

[squire-hand.livejournal.com]

"Rapture, may it flood with water and be stricken from records," he said.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Never heard of it. Maybe it has."
