An Assassin In Keeliai.: Arno Open
Characters: Arno Dorian and YOU!
Date: April Catch All
Location: Throughout Keeliai, notably the hotel, a trashy bar, and the market.
Situation: 3 Openings throughout the month, or PM/Plurk me to choose your own adventure!
Option A. The Midnight Hotel:
[Like any instinct one has lived with for a long time, Arno's is to find high ground, and a clear view of just about any obstacles he might face. In order to get that, one must climb. He's avoided trying his skills on the hotel so far, having heard the place is somehow magical. All skepticism aside, he does know better than to mess with anything that has properties he cannot entirely identify. Well, most of the time.
At the moment, though, his better senses have taken a bit of a side trip, which is, of course, naturally, the reason why he's attempting it now, though something keeps him from reaching the top, and as it does, he finds himself dropping off by no fault of his own. The first attempt makes him only more determined to try again, and then another. It's becoming evident, though,that every time he IS pushed off the surface, it is into a different area, a different sector, of the city. ]
Merde [He's cursing once, before it hits him. Come to think of it, the hotel could provide a possibility. Should he manage not to be noticed in any of the districts, particularly those with a larger population, it would make for some excellent practice ground,and he can claim a method to his madness. Of course, considering he's looking like a bit of an idiot here, maybe not. But, please, let him know if he's spotted anyway. He could use a critique, honestly.]
Option B: A Pub
[If there's one thing Arno appreciates, it's the fact that, as much as the kedan don't seem to like them very much, there ARE still places to drink here. He's been in almost constant need of a drink for the couple months he's been here, and, by now, he's become a regular at a fairly trashy little pub, which, sadly, has an equally trashy little wine selection. At the moment, he can be found either at the bar itself, or, more likely, perched at a table in the corner, leaning back on two rungs of his chair, dirty boots propped up on the surface of the table itself, and a half finished glass in hand. Occasionally, he's calling out to passers by, those who look a little gullible, admittedly.]
I've a pair of dice and deck of cards! [He's calling out every so often, rocking back in the chair, and looking fairly smug as he does that.] Any takers, perhaps?
Option C: The Market
[Arno may have his phantom blade back on his wrist and a selection of bolts for it at the ready, but he presumes he'll need more at some time, and he's also entertaining ideas for a new sort of weapon, especially after speaking to Aya and trying to help her cool down. Still, the basic goods that he's securing to attempt messing around with his idea are a little strange. At the moment, he's inspecting fans, wooden, paper, silk, debating the best sort to use, and purchasing rather a lot of them, though you don't want to know where he got the Juulan, really. At any rate, it IS starting to look a little...odd. And that's before he's started looking at the available knife blades, even. As of now, he can be spotted inspecting the goods, and haggling a little over the price of a particular fan, silk screened, with the image of a turtle. It's...interesting to watch him try to charm the kedan, if nothing else.]

no subject
Mm so it does yes.
[Her manner is impressive, and one that Arno is familiar enough with. He's met his share of nobles who employ it, and one particular valet. Only, of course, she is far more charming than anyone ever managed to find Olivier, he's reasonably certain.]
I'm glad of that. It helps to know those of like mind, at least where some things are concerned.
no subject
And isn't freedom one of the most important things?
[Their opinions will almost certainly differ elsewhere. Like, say, the responsible use of magic. Here, however, China finds she agrees with him, and she considers that he will likely be entertaining to speak with again.]
no subject
[Oh good. He's somewhat been refining it, here. But the basic building blocks had already been laid out at home, sort of like genetic code, only it'd taken actual purposeful thought and such. So that's a big relief, anyway.]
It is, yes. In whatever forms it happens to take. There are so many, after all.
[Well, Arno knows very little of magic besides what's here, if that helps at all. That could be an interesting discussion along that angle.]
no subject
Of course. As many as there are people, I suppose.
We must speak again some time, monsieur Dorian. I believe I shall look forward to it.
[Oh, that could certainly be fun. Or Fun, depending.]

[There's another bow as he's heading off as well, back to the "marketing", then. Perhaps to find some LADIES to attempt to barter with...]
