So what if we did a joust?

[And then, after one thread of someone asking what the fuck he means by that he comes back and continues with video.]

We don't have enough horses for a normal joust and anyways I've never ridden a horse in my life. This would be way dumber.

[The camera pans around to show a pile of pool noodles.]

I found these while checking out Incendia, and for some reason the first thought I had was "what if we rode on each other's shoulders and ran past each other while the riders try to knock their opponent off?"

It doesn't feel like the BEST use of our time but the hell with me if I can think of anything else I should be doing right now. There's too much free time around here and I'm bored. We'd probably need, at the very least, some cushions for people to fall on and someone to take bets.

Also probably, like. A medic. Or something.

Hey, I'm in. Just don't complain when I kick everyone's butts.

[unpunchman]

Awfully confident aren't you?

[whatsmytalentagain]

[Oh for the love of- Here. Have a text message.]

You can't be serious.

Could you at least get the safety net up BEFORE you do anything stupid and hurt yourself?

[unpunchman]

I'm always serious dude.

And I SAID I was gonna get something to fall on didn't I?

[class_struggle]

what

...if you do this foolish thing I should probably be one of the horses

[unpunchman]

Wow I thought most people would want to be a rider.

[For several seconds, the video feed simply shows Jetshard with her face in one hand, rubbing her temples, with her glasses haphazardly shoved halfway up her forehead. Eventually she looks up, glasses sliding back into place as she pulls her hand away.]

I did not just hear you suggest a bookie before you suggested a medic.

[unpunchman]

I can heal people it's fine.

[Feels kind of weird talking about it openly like this but everyone is weird here to why not?]

[tannic]

[The responding video is upside-down, because it was super briefly explained how to use this device but uh. He's having a hard time. It's also fairly dark, because his room has no electricity.]

I'll take bets. [lmao @ being responsible] What's our currency?

[unpunchman]

You know I'm not sure really? I've got a credit card but I don't think it'll work out here. Maybe we can bet on not having to do chores.

Also you're kinda, uh, upside down there.

[nor_iron_bars]

[Another prospective bookie, chiming in:]

I'll do the math if you do the legwork. I can give odds on the participants, you collect whatever collateral people are willing to put up.

[hairpincurves]

You know, I did grab a ton of cushions from one of the stores in Incendia...

[unpunchman]

Kewl. The non-lame people are finally starting to come out.

[throwabookatit]

[ What. What, no. No, what is this child suggesting. ]

You're joking. You people are that bored around here, that you'd resort to...to this sort of nonsense?

[ She's busting it out. The Teacher Voice. ]

[unpunchman]

Don't underestimate me. I'm definitely that bored.

un; inconvenient

[theosophomoric]

Oh, brilliant! Count me in.

[unpunchman]

Nice!

un; notarobot

[wearmyface]

I'll joust. Sounds amusingly fun.

[A chance to hit people? Of course Vos is in.]

[unpunchman]

Nice nice.

Voice, but the un is 'motherdragon'

[blessedprotector_rising]

[Screw text, this is voice.]

I know the basics of taking bets, and can offer some sort of cushioning with Ais'ko psychic abilities.

[unpunchman]

What's an Ais'ko?

un: alicekozakura

[ninjabanish]

I am a healer.
Please do not do this.
I know not what those are, but please do not do this.

[unpunchman]

Too late we're doing it.

[zweihandler]

HOLY SHIT COUNT ME THE FUCK IN 👌👌👌 WHEN ARE WE MAKING THE MAGIC HAPPEN

[unpunchman]

How did you make those little hands?

[daughterofthemark]

A joust! How exciting!

[unpunchman]

Better than another day of just sitting around reading or playing video games.

un; danslalune

[riderofcharlemagne]

Is this a tournament??? Will there be prizes???

[unpunchman]

Um. Obviously this will be a tournament, and obviously there will be prizes!

un: magitechsupport

[nor_iron_bars]

[Almost immediately after the video goes up:]

Get me a sign-up sheet and I'll calculate the odds for you, make a real betting pool outta all this.

[Jail responds at the speed of crime.]

[You can't see Alastor's eyes behind his red tinted goggles, but you don't need to, to tell he's amused.]

I get the feeling I'm gonna need popcorn for this.

[unpunchman]

If I think you're being too smug in the audience you have to go a round.

[bastilashan]

I am in. I am tall, but thin. Could I be a rider? I have healing powers, but that seems to be covered.

[unpunchman]

Yeah we've got some medics on hand, but show up anyways.
