@angela.roberts - After the event

[unlucky7]

Got you a present.

[Included is a picture of an amulet of a scarab, carved out of a blue and gold stone.]

[doesitanyway]

Thank you, Angela, it looks masterfully carved. And to think, I've nothing for you. Except perhaps a demonstration... I awoke to something interesting back in my possession, the other day.

[unlucky7]

Really? I'm intrigued. It sounds like we should meet up somewhere. Name the place.

[doesitanyway]

I'll need a great deal of free space... there's a park with a field not too far from Red Wings, do you know it?

[unlucky7]

I do. See you there in an hour?

[doesitanyway]

Sounds fine to me. I'll see you soon, Angela.

[ When Trevor shows up at the park, he's wearing a longer coat than she last saw him in -- long enough to hit just above the knee, concealing what's on his hip. With the chilly weather there aren't many out in the park, and he's confident he can pass off the Morning Star as an heirloom he's just playing with, not a weapon.

He raises a hand at Angela's approach. ]

Afternoon!

[unlucky7]

[If it weren't for the fact he mentioned wanting to demonstrate something, Ginia would assume he was showing off his new coat. It's a good look. Ginia also has a new jacket on and there's a grin as she approaches, returning the wave.]

Afternoon! Nice jacket.

[doesitanyway]

Ah, thank you. I like yours, as well -- new, yes? Mine was a bit of a splurge, but I needed something longer.

[ He gestures her closer, pushing back one side of the coat to show the chain whip coiled on his hip. The Morning Star, beautiful and deadly. ]

Do you think it's safe to show it off a bit? I doubt many here would know what it even is.

[unlucky7]

[Ginia spreads her arms and gives a small turn.]

A gift from my world, you could say. And yours is a good splurge.

[There's more she could say about her coat, but his turn to show off first. She comes closer, moving to cover some angles. She whistles a bit at the coiled whip, glancing around.]

I think so. Not too many people around, we could explain it away as something for an upcoming movie.

[doesitanyway]

This is a gift from my home, as well. One I'm grateful to have back.

[ He unhooks the whip from his hip and lets the chain fall to the ground, gripping it at the leather-wrapped handle instead. It seems a mighty weapon in the right hands, its tip sharp and angular.

The first move he does is to show off its reach, snapping outward and spiraling back to coil around his forearm without hitting either of them somehow. His control is impressive, as he goes into a series of looping attack moves, designed to strike and return and change direction in midair should the opponent dodge. It's pretty cool to watch. ]

[unlucky7]

[It's a beautiful weapon and the level of mastery Trevor shows with the chain whip is incredibly impressive. Ginia knows she'd probably smack himself in the face with the tip if she tried anything.

(Did Trevor smack himself in the face when he was first learning how to use it?)

Ginia is grinning when he finishes his display, clapping enthusiastically.]

That's incredible! How long have you trained with that?
