[accidental audio/action for CH 5]

--at's it. I'm gonna pulverize--

[The words, made audible through an accidental feed on the journal that Cliff threw aside, were cut off by the crack of splintering wood as his fist slammed into it at full throttle. Cliff had finally awoken from his shift-induced dream, and he was pissed. It was just unfortunate that the first person he saw that morning had to be the target for his frustration at the Malnosso.

He was going to crush their captors...after he crushed Albel Nox.

It wasn't going to be pretty.]

[very intentional audio]

Sorry 'bout the mess this morning. Technical difficulties. Won't happen again.

Now. What the hell was that last week? A shift? That's one helluva-- [He stopped and took a deep, calming breath.] Don't tell me that happens all the time.

I'm more than game if anyone wants to work off some stress. See ya at the Barracks. Or the Dome. I dunno.

Cliff Fittir. Over and out.

[action]

[True to his word, Cliff could be found at both the Barracks and the Battle Dome at various points throughout the day, as he restlessly wandered between the two facilities because neither actually fit his needs for the moment. A good spar was what he had in mind, although he wouldn't say no to company with someone that didn't know him and was actually sane.

Don't worry. He'll be cool.]

They're annoying, but can be punted.

...

They're mostly annoying.

I don't think I'd want food to be attacking me either, so I can get why you find them annoying.

[Struck by a sudden inspiration, Cliff couldn't fight back a grin.]

How 'bout a taste of the real deal sometime, kid? Wanna test your patience against the little guys?

\Intentional Audio response

[hero_of_smiles]

Hmm?

[That was pretty sudden.]

You mean like in a simulation? Uh, sure if you're up to it. I could use the practice, since I normally just fight people.

Intentional Audio response

[aerialassault]

And I don't like fightin' sims.

It's not like we need to go right now. Just...for whenever. You know.

Intentional Audio response

[hero_of_smiles]

Oooooh...so you mean practicing with you, huh? Yeah, I'm down with that whenever. I don't have much to do these days.

Intentional Audio response

[aerialassault]

Something like that. We can even go it easy if you'd like, or just mess with it. It can come up with some pretty cool things.

Intentional Audio response

[hero_of_smiles]

Easy is for beginners.

[Does he sound just a tad bit cocky?]

By the way, my name's Cross.

Intentional Audio response

[aerialassault]

[There was cockiness and there was stupidity. Know your enemy, kid.]

Cliff. If you're lettin' me run the show? I'll determine what's easy and what's not.

[Because you really don't want to fight The Marquis on the first go.]

Intentional Audio response

[hero_of_smiles]

Yeah, sure no probs, sir.

Just let me know whenever you want to start.

Intentional Audio response

[aerialassault]

I've got nothing but time on my hands, so you give me a ring.

No rush. It's a li'l cold out.

Intentional Audio response

[hero_of_smiles]

I'll be sure to do that, Mr.Cliff. So, I guess until the spring time than.
