“What?” he asks, looking up and around, confused. His opponent had already long since left the table, leaving several large, sprawling constructions from castles to wooden boats, space ships to what look like desert mining towns and even a grey blimp sitting there. Karn looks back to his two creations, not feeling particularly upset at the loss. Building with those tiny bricks had required one hundred percent of his focus to avoid breaking them, and even then, even with his gentlest telekinetic touch, more than two dozen parts now in pieces lay scattered about him. But it had awoken something within the warrior, the man who had been a fighter, a conqueror since his first kill when he was less than 12 years old. A desire to create, to build. “Oh well. That was… Fun.”
“The next rounds have already started, you gonna vote in them?” Chaya asks him, then looking back to see his expression adds, “Or if you want I can vote for you this time, and let you build a bit longer?”
“Appreciate it kiddo, but enough’s enough.” Karn says, rising to his feet and stretching. “Now let’s see what we’ve got next… You know, I don’t know what it is, but somehow I get the feeling that that rodent can actually prepare food. Why not, I’ll vote-“
>Ramster (Cutémon)“Both men competing to see who is the better salesman? Bah, I have no idea about that. However, if both are preparing their own with the intent of getting repeat customers, I wouldn’t put it above Richard to add certain… Spice to his.”
“Just like the-“ Chaya starts, but is suddenly interrupted by what is very clearly Vox shouting in her ear. “Hey, -I- wasn’t going to say you added addictive, banned substances to the fizzing concession drinks at the arena. But -you- just shouted that right in my chat’s ear, ~boss~.”
“…Anyways, my vote goes to-“
>Richard (Drowned Quest Redux)Karn’s been a warrior for a LONG time, writing him getting to relax and enjoy something as simple as lego building was quite the treat for me.
