[ He bounds over to the entrance of the basement where Kirk is. ]
What, this?
[ He lifts an arm and with the other lifts a bit of fabric. The little decorations all along the waist jingle with his movements. ]
Oh yeah, I'm a Dancer now. The Professor said I'm the only one who can be one 'cause I won the White Heron Cup, and that uh, what was it? Something about how I run off to hit the first thing I see and I could learn something about supporting others in battle or whatever.
What is this world? He doesn't want to ask more specific questions because his mind is already in a dark enough place and--why does it feel like he can see the Caspar's heat signature more clearly? He also feels a bit.. better. In words he can't fully articulate.
...Do people not have dancers in battle in your world?
[ That's about as self-conscious as Caspar gets. He pulls at the fabric looping from his arm. ]
I mean, they're not exactly common in mine, but they're supposed to energize you, raise morale, that kinda thing. Still think I'd be more useful on the front lines, but I said I'd do it and I don't back down from a challenge!
Anyway! It's great to see you. I dunno how long it's been here but I've been back in my world for the past few months. I didn't think I'd be able to go back at all!

[Than flashing your junk for them. Please love yourself more, Caspar. Plsu, you were underage, right? He feels like he learned this recently.]

Like that!

I've never heard of any world having... "battle dancers."
[What the fuck does that even mean?]
I mean there's the USO but they aren't exactly fighting on the front lines, and I don't think Bob Hope ever approved of any exotic dancers.

Date: 2020-08-30 02:28 am (UTC)But I guess you still answered the question. [ He shrugs. ] They're not really common in my world either, so I guess it's pretty neat I get to be one.
[ Caspar's despair at being given a support role is clashing horribly with his unending enthusiasm for everything. ]
