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

[deadliestviper]

Very. [She doesn't want to impress you, Arthur, she just wants to take you down a notch.]

[onceandfutureprat]

What did I say that insulted you?

[deadliestviper]

I believe that you described my training as "useless"?

[onceandfutureprat]

Did I? [That was over three years ago for him, he doesn't really remember it whoops.]

[deadliestviper]

Yes, sir.

I ask for little more than a sparring session. Will you accept my challenge?

[onceandfutureprat]

I don't make a habit of fighting a woman unless it's to teach her how to defend herself.

/threadjack, not sorry

[routemistress]

Oooh, you should 'ave patronising git tattooed on your fore'ead, sunshine. Give the girl 'er satisfaction, you royal pillock.

[deadliestviper]

So you won't fight a woman if she has a chance of standing against you?

[payshisdebts]

You, ser are a fool. As you are a warden of Arya Stark, you should know better.

Defend yourself, or be named craven.
