Hygiene issues aside, is anyone actually enjoying anything about Paris?

@BROKEBACKSTAB There's nothing more glorious than war. To die in battle is a sacred honour.

@BROKEBACKSTAB You must be from an entirely different era... One where humans have grown lazy and weak, because they have so many luxuries at their fingertips. Luxuries they didn't have to plunder for themselves.

@BROKEBACKSTAB You seem to be knowledgeable. What happens after these people take their country back? I'm curious.

history is probably one of my worst subjects

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Well worry not, I do not intend to persuade you to think otherwise

@ACHEELIES For the most part yes
@ACHEELIES Can't say the same for any third world countries that still don't have access to basic needs but myself specifically yes.

@ACHEELIES That's an entire semester's worth of history that I certainly don't want to get into but
@ACHEELIES Let's just put it this way
@ACHEELIES Lots of people die, in battles and out, structures of government changes violently and repeatedly, the country goes through social changes, then eventually becomes a civilization for lazy and weak humans with luxuries at their fingertips
@ACHEELIES At least thats the gist of it

I'm so sorry to have made you do this

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I thought so. No need to be ashamed. This is your chance to broaden your horizons!

@BROKEBACKSTAB I appreciate your wit. I guess this means they'll discover baths, or so I hope. The stench of filth and fish in the air is far too strong for my liking.
@BROKEBACKSTAB There are no bathhouses to be found anywhere. Not even in the more rich districts of Paris.

B) it's all good, i apped in fully knowing i would have to do this

[handsomefoil]

[ henry laughs. some funny characters here tonight. ]

@ACHEELIES Looking forward to it

@ACHEELIES Bathhouses are certainly much more... modern
@ACHEELIES The sewage system here is basically nonexistent so unfortunately it'll take some time before the stench dissipates.
@ACHEELIES I'm highly considering soaking my sleeve in absinthe and breathing that in to kill all sense of smell

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB They have no sewer? Well, I can't expect all countries to be as great and innovative as Greece.

@BROKEBACKSTAB The rich are no better. They soak themselves in perfumes to presumably hide their own stench.
@BROKEBACKSTAB Just breathe through your mouth, wherever you go.

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Can't say for sure if it's literally no sewer but Im pretty sure

@ACHEELIES Yes that's what Ive been doing mostly
@ACHEELIES No sense in wasting perfectly drinkable absinthe

@ACHEELIES What era of Greece do you hail from

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB An era far before this one.

@BROKEBACKSTAB And what country do you come from, Mouth Breather?

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Ah ancient greece then
@ACHEELIES Suppose it all makes more sense now

@ACHEELIES I had a feeling that was going to happen
@ACHEELIES The United states, formerly Ireland
@ACHEELIES The former hadn't been named during your time so I don't think you'd recognize it as is

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I know of the United States, actually. America, is that right? What I know of it, it has major influence over the rest of the world.

@BROKEBACKSTAB I'm not completely ignorant.

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Forgive me, I had no idea there was any knowledge of it during that time
@ACHEELIES I suppose I shouldn't have assumed
@ACHEELIES Plenty of people around here talking about Americans to get a bloke questioning things and all.

@ACHEELIES Or am I completely off

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB You're completely off.
@BROKEBACKSTAB But I can't fault you for assuming. America didn't exist when I was actually alive.
@BROKEBACKSTAB I only know of it because the era I'd been summoned to previous to this one was well into the the 21st century.

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Oy vey I must be off my game
@ACHEELIES Still, I didnt realize there was a mission before this.
@ACHEELIES Slowly bringing in more people as we along I suppose
@ACHEELIES Do you know if there were any more before your arrival?

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB No, my being in that era has nothing to do with COST.
@BROKEBACKSTAB I was summoned to fight in a ritual called the Holy Grail War.
@BROKEBACKSTAB I won't reveal much more than that, though. Not unless you happen to be a mage.

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Nope can't I am

[ he never was a fan of RPG's ]

@ACHEELIES So summoned within a summoning to fight a war on top of another war
@ACHEELIES Sounds like a lot of work but from what I gathered
@ACHEELIES You seem to enjoy the fight

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB As long as I get to fight, I'm satisfied.
@BROKEBACKSTAB But there seems to be none of that here. I don't know if I can stand to wait around any longer.

can't say* i am omfg

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES A shame, I agree
@ACHEELIES Everyone's getting restless
@ACHEELIES Maybe people should fight each other to tide them over until the battles begins

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB Are you offering?
@BROKEBACKSTAB You shouldn't tease a man you know

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES I'm usually teasing 99% of the time
@ACHEELIES But it's been a long while since I've been this restless
@ACHEELIES Congratulations you've caught me during the 1% of my life that I'm not

@ACHEELIES That being said, I'm willing if you are

[chariotry]

@BROKEBACKSTAB I'll be wasting my time either way.
@BROKEBACKSTAB You won't be able to defeat me or land an attack. I'd be impressed if you lasted more than a few seconds.

[handsomefoil]

@ACHEELIES Now that's not fair
@ACHEELIES Won't even give me a chance?

[ He sounds calm (especially through text), but on the inside, he is aching for a fight now. Especially after that set up for a challenge. What makes this guy so confident? Is there something special about him that puts him at a greater advantage than normal people? Henry is not normal by a long shot, but he can't help but wonder.]
