UN: JUSTSOPHIE | TEXT

time for the bimonthly NYX report. introductions, i'm sophie cuckoo, your resident telepathic mutant barbie, hopefully it's nice to meet you. anyway, if you're new here, there's a gigantic building in charronway that i run for community strengthening purposes, called NYX. we have classes from swordfighting to demonic magic 101, and we serve homemade lunch and dinner made by our people.

so, as per usual, if there is a class you'd like to take or teach, please let me know and i'll see what i can do. second thing, we need more cooks, so if you want to help out, also just let me know.

place is also available for meetings, gatherings, parties if you're fun and know how to throw one, lectures, or whatever. i'm there during the afternoon, chrissy takes the morning shift, and always go through her first if you need me during that time.

as the end of it, as per usual, as a building exercise, let's do the usual. it goes over so well whenever i do it. tell me your problems, and i'll tell you how to fix them*.

*Neither NYX nor Sophie Cuckoo can be held liable or responsible if you listen to a random person on the internet and do it.

Rapier. You?

Katana. Three swords. [a moment's oooh aaah] Damn, when's the last time I fought against rapier? It's been broadswords and shit for too long, now.

Three? Why do you need so many?
yourotherleft: (hrm?)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-26 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[there's a pause as he's genuinely surprised anyone would ask.]

...because I can? I can stick to two if that's better for sparring but...Santoryuu is my technique. I invented it.

[That's a good of an answer as any.]

Well... you're just gonna have to show me, sounds like.
yourotherleft: (fuckin smug)

[if he sounds smug, it's because he is]

Be happy to. As long as you can keep me on my toes, I always need to train against different techniques.

What's your name?
yourotherleft: (listening)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-26 05:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Zoro. I'm new here. You're not the Sophie person who put out the message?
yourotherleft: (stoneface)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-27 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Maelle. Gotcha.

There a map to this place or something? [not that it matters but he'll never admit it]

Depends how invasive you'd like it to be. Sophie is the best map, but...
yourotherleft: (haki ping)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-28 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
...huh? What's that mean?

[for as easily as Zoro adapts to some things, it's not all things, and this "network" is testing him]

She can pop into your head if you're comfortable with it. Show you where to go.
yourotherleft: (deep thinking)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-29 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. [more of a statement this time, with the undertone of "just when you think you've heard it all..."]

I'll have to think about that one. Kinda weird, if you ask me, but I guess there's a lot about just being here that's weird to start with.

[personal profile] maellum 2025-10-30 06:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep. I know.

[personal profile] maellum 2025-10-30 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Nothing weird at home?
yourotherleft: (fuckin smug)

[personal profile] yourotherleft 2025-10-31 05:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, there's weird, but it's all relative. At some point you just have to shrug and accept it or it'll break you.

Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll be by when I need some exercise, can't wait to test you out.

Sounds good to me.
