but have a hawke, who kept to her loser modern day clothing (this time it's a red t-shirt that says I SWEAR TO DRUNK I'M NOT GOD because hawke is also the worst) and just sort of waves a lazy hand at ruby as she walks up. ]
Ruby Rose! Are you ready to fight? Compete? E....tcera? We should probably get food too. I'm thinking something with a lot of cheese.
[ they're even both named after a bird! and wield two handed swords! and wear lots of red and black!
... actually, hawke might just be ruby's uncle point blank. hi ruby, hawke's your uncle now. ]
I do enjoy pizza.
[ aaaanyway, leading them into the arcade now! ]
What kind of arena are you thinking? Big coliseum type, or a back alley somewhere. Our eyes meet in the distance, lightning strikes, suddenly -- we fight! Na na na na na.
[Theme music. Hawke is the coolest substitute uncle.]
Hehhh... Big coliseum type arena! We may as well go big if we're gonna do this! The crowd watches as the two fights enter the arena, one with a giant scythe and the other with a giant sword. They're meeting to face each other for the first time ever, but it's gonna be a good fight, and the seats are sold out, and then--
[ hawke just nods in agreement because well, there's not much more to say than that! sounds like a good plan to her, honestly. she's not super into the virtual reality aspect of everything but... this is going to be pretty fun, huh? at least it's with ruby.
as they make their way towards the vivid console, hawke does take a moment to consider one other thing. ]
[ hawke just sort of shrugs and starts pressing the buttons on the screen for the console, setting up their match. she glances back at ruby and grins wryly. ]
I was honestly just going to click "random" and hope for the best but if you're not feeling so adventurous, we can go with what we have. That's perfectly fine with me.
[ hawke just points a finger at ruby. ah ha, you activated her trap card ... or something! ]
That's the point. Don't tell me you've never tried sparring in uncomfortable clothing? You'll never know when you'll have to take on the enemy while nude. Or even worse --
And yet there you are! No practice to be found and the next thing you know, you'll be tripping right over your own crinoline and everyone will laugh at you. Ha, ha, ha. But for eternity.
[ this has totally never happened to hawke, but she's heard stories! ]
[ it's a coliseum, ruby! and it's actually exactly like the one in rome but old and surrounded by endless digital ancient rome aside from the fact that, uh, the stands are filled entirely with robots. one half of the crowd is cheering for hawke, the other is for ruby. she was fair.
and hawke is also now in her armor too! and sword! look at all that fairness. they're standing in the middle of the arena, probably way too relaxed than they should be for such an event but hawke doesn't really bat an eyelash at the cheering crowd. this sure is happening. ]
Sometimes, Ruby, you have to do things you're not quite happy to do. Like... wear a floofy dress to make, say, your mother proud -- or at the very least, less naggy. Sometimes you just have to pull up your big girl panties and wear the floofy dress. That's life.
[That resonates more than Ruby would like it to, but she still makes a face. Even if it would've made her mother happy (maybe? She's not sure), she still doesn't really want to wear a floofy dress. Because floofy dresses are the worst--
But she'll deal.
Because she's in her proper clothes, and she can just reach for her scythe, unfolding it to its proper, full size on automatic.]
Well... if I can avoid wearing floofy dresses, I will! For as long as I can, anyway, because I like things like this way more.
[ hawke watches ruby talk and unveil her scythe and for some reason, she finds herself feeling kind of proud of ruby as she does. a smile breaks out on hawke's face and she lets out a short, happy laugh at ruby's words. ]
There is a certain thrill to it, huh?
[ then when hawke catches ruby's eye, she'll gesture for her to take one end of the arena while hawke heads over to the other end. she'll call out rules to ruby as she goes. ]
First to three. No killing. Loser is who gets knocked out of the ring first.
[ she'll gesture to the ring on the ground that circles them just inside the arena. it's like a full proper fight and everything! ]

[You remind her of her uncle.]
Let's pick a good stage and spar a lot and then go get food. With cheese. Like pizza!

Normal clothes or costumes?
[ a valid question, okay. ]
no subject
Uh. Normal clothes?
[... does she even want to know...]
Wait, what...sort of costumes, exactly?
no subject
I was honestly just going to click "random" and hope for the best but if you're not feeling so adventurous, we can go with what we have. That's perfectly fine with me.
[ boring, though. ]
no subject
... I like my clothes. That's why I wear them! Besides, what if you get something you can't fight in at all?
Like foot stilts.

That's the point. Don't tell me you've never tried sparring in uncomfortable clothing? You'll never know when you'll have to take on the enemy while nude. Or even worse --

In a ballgown.

No! Anything but thaaaat!

[:((((]
I don't even know what crinoline is.
no subject
[ the best hawke explanation ever but you know WHAT. let's move on! ]
So, normal costumes.
[ are they finally gonna vivid now ]
no subject
SO IN THEY GO.
To whatever stage Hawke picked.
Hopefully you picked a good one. Because Ruby's still stuck on--]
But why would I want a dress to be even floofier?
