026 VIDEO LIST TEN

[deadliestviper]

[Forget Tony Stark's recent re-introduction: what this broadcast lacks in an impeccable soundtrack, it more than provides for in terms of cool confidence. Beatrix's face is visible from a 3/4 angle, and she looks up to the communicator in her left hand. In her right is a long dark oblong, easily recognized by those who know weaponry as the grip of a Hattori Hanzo katana. Her face is cool, eyes emotionless, expression blank. She looks toward the camera and says clearly:]

Arthur King of Camelot, thanks your slur upon my honor and the honor of my esteemed Master Pai Mei, I challenge you to an amicable duel to first blood, your swordsmanship against mine. Let the ancient honor of my traditions stand against yours in a friendly match.

[Filtered to Ronald Sandoval, Narvin, Bruce Banner, and Riddick:]

Say one word about anything that happened this breach, and I will destroy you.

[Private to Bruce Wayne, Selina, Slade:]

I've got my sword back. Care to train?

Comments

[mistconduct]

Why can't I watch you swordfight?

[deadliestviper]

It's not all my call. [Which is not to say that she'd mind an audience especially if Arthur gets beaten by a girl.]

[mistconduct]

How is it not your call? You're the one calling his punk ass out to the yard.

[deadliestviper]

Depends if he answers, doesn't it?

[mistconduct]

I guess.

If he doesn't, are you going to go to his room and find him?

[deadliestviper]

Of course not. If he doesn't he's shown cowardice, and no need to add injury to insult.

[mistconduct]

Yeah. Yeah, truth.

Kick his ass.

[deadliestviper]

That's my plan.
