*Gorlim is outside practicing sword moves.

Occasionally, a stray treebranch will suffer the consequences. But not too often. He seems very good at visualizing his enemy, though. Or perhaps he's re-fighting old battles. Either way, it looks damn impressive.* Even though his icon guy IS Barry Manilow...

Comments

"And even nicer form. Very welcome, very welcome indeed ..." All of this is said, of course, just as Trillian jerks aside from a flying object.

"... do you have a lot of experience, then?"

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

You might say that. Fought a few wars, killed the Mother of all spiders... *He automatically tries to lean against his sword like a walking stick, forgetting that he's just nearly killed her with it. Instead, he falls over with an audible THUMP*

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"A few boys I know might actually have some use for talent like--"

Trillian cuts herself off as Gorlim falls over backward, and can't help but laugh.

"You okay?"

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

What? Of course! Just a.... faster way to get to the ground. *Roman-sorta-looking pose* You say you have a proposition for me, dear girl?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"Sort of. I know these ... boys ... well, I guess, sort of. See, one's meant to be a king and the other is his second. And I think they might be staging a coup, and you seem to be the type who might want to help ..."

His clumsiness might be enough for the Antarians to blacklist Trillian, but then again, he IS agile.

Are we for the good king or the bad king? *Not that it matters. He'll do it, of course. He's a sucker for a pretty face.*

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"I think since Max is, by bloodline, the one that's supposed to be king? We're with the good king."

Good king, bad king, he's the king with the gun. ... wrong canon, muns.

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

Okay. *He hops onto his feet and trots over to retreive his sword* When do we start with the killing?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"That," Trillian is still laughing, "is not in any way my authority. If you run into a boy of about 18 by the name of Max Evans, he's the king in question ..."

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

Max. Max the King. King Max. Got it. *pause* Max.

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"Max. Max Evans. He doesn't really respond to 'king,' although he should according to a few other people. I haven't met them, but that's what he says they say."

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

Oh. You haven't met him.

*removes self from hack 'n' slash mode for enough time to consider a Very Important Question*

Do I get a percentage of either the treasury or the kingdom if we win?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"Well, I know Max, I just don't know the others. And um ... well, I'm just the pilot and the astrophysicist, have no say in the government, but I'm sure he'd pay you. Max is an honest kid."

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

*he laughs and sheathes his sword* It's okay, I don't need the money. So! Who are we gonna fight? Do we have, you know, a sort of ARMY or are we going for subterfuge and subtle throat-slitting from behind the tapestries?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"I think they're having a meeting about that. I'm still only a scientist."

And not of the science of revolution, so Trillian Just Doesn't Know.

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

Where?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"Up in Max's room, which is ... number ... oh, I don't remember. I can try and remember, though, and show you the place later ..."

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

All right. As long as something's being done. Would you care for a cup of tea? *Abrupt? Yes. But he likes tea.*

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

Tea. Tea gives Trillian the creeps.

"I'd love some."

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

I think the bar is a little... er.... well, it's kind of gloomy in there. I can make us some out here, if you like?

[mctrillian.livejournal.com]

"Just like that, snap your fingers, boom, there's tea? Or is there a hotplate somewhere?"

[gorlim.livejournal.com]

.....I can start a fire?

You don't do much camping, do you?
