Up and coming...

[ErasmusMortem]

Erasmus sat at a table in the Outback alone. There was no one around at this time of day. Business hours not being until later. He was writing a note that would soon be tacked up on the bulletin board. The note was rather short and consisted of two things: it read...


Hails to all Outback patrons!
I, Erasmus, son of Gamhl, son of Garm, am a glass fighter, although I do expect to rise in rank fairly quickly, have been propositioned to take on the role of caller. This notice is askance of your approval. Those of you who do not mind that a 'rookie' be officiating your matches please sign below. My decision will be based on the amount of approving signatures I get.
If you would rather wait and see what kind of skills I have in the ring before signing this document I would much appreciate it... If you think I have what it takes without seeing how I fight sign now. I'll see you guys in the Annex tonight!


Please sign below dotted line.

A mug of coffee in one hand a pen in the other she reads the note in disbelief then scribbles on it below the line.

I can't believe you are thinking to wait for people to sign a list to decide whether or not ya wanna be a caller in here! I need some help I'm telling ya Era. I am a glass myself and they don't seem to mind at all that I don't fight on a regular basis and they still come in here and fight when I'm sitting on this here couch!

It must be that ale I served ya upstairs has addled your brains or something got into Jake's brewery and did him wrong. I don't know but if I were you I wouldn't wait for people to sign your list. Just you be going and telling Matt that you wanna be calling with me on Monday nights or me and you are gonna be meeting in one of them there rings over there.

Course we could still meet in one of them there rings and I wouldn't mind at all Darlin'. But really I could use a partner on Monday nights now that people know I am here. I think you would have fun watching them beat the tar out of each other like they do!

The reply tacked on up there as soon as he found some paper and a pen.

"Don't worry about what other people think. If you can make the right calls, no one's going to complain. So quit stalling and give Des a hand.

Erasmus walked by his notice on the way to the restroom. He stopped for a moment and took a glance. A smile crossed his face as he read Des' reply. Scanning further though, that smile turned to a frown. He fetched no one a beer....

"Whoever you are... I am no barmaid. Why don't you go grab yourself in a dark room somewhere."

::stops back by the board and reads Billy Rae's note and grimaces:: "Oh lordy be." ::pens another note::

Don't worry Era. I'll get me a new outfit and everything will be just fine. I'll be decorative and you can be functional and Billy Rae won't be worrying about you getting him drinks no more. I would wink at ya but you ain't here for me to wink to Darlin'.
