On this episode of "Gakupriest is a Doofus"...

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[So, Gakupriest's been doing some reading. No surprise there. He's out somewhere, found a comfy place to sit, and is just...surrounded by books. He's flipped through most of them, but just can't seem to concentrate. Some odd feeling of restlessness impossible quite shake.

Then he spots a rather sizable stick not too far away from his sitting spot. He sets down the book he'd had in his hands at that particular moment and picks it up, examining it. For some reason he's reminded that most of the variants of himself he's met are swordsman. A strange idea to him, since traditionally the Priest class wasn't allowed to wield bladed weapons. He'd probably just hurt himself if he even picked up an actual sword.

...

Looking to the left.

Looking to the right.

Coast looks clear.

He stands, stick-sword in hand, and slowly, awkwardly, imitates what he's seen other Gakupos do. Emphasis on "awkwardly".

Somebody take that thing away from him before he really does manage to hurt himself.]

I wouldn't say you were terrible.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

I wasn't...really trying, anyway.

[defender]

So you say.

What brought this on?

...Swordsmanship seems to be a common theme with the other versions of myself. I was curious.

[defender]

[Laughs.] Ditziness seems to be a common theme with the other versions of myself, but you don't see me trying it out.

I will admit I had a far worse first attempt. At the art of battle, I mean.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

That...would be very difficult to imagine.

Did you?

[defender]

[In a high falsetto:] Uwah, it's Gakupo waving a big stick!

Well, everyone died, for one thing...

[pfffffthahahaha]

Ah, I...see...

I was a foolish young girl in a party dress trying to ingratiate her family with nobility. Far more ridiculous than a priest picking up a sword to fight with.

And it was a long time ago anyway.

...And now the image of you in a party dress.

[defender]

It was pink. With white ribbons.

[Just shakes her head.]

[S-snrrrrrrrrrk.]

Wow.
