To: All Summoned

[itookashot]

This is the most important question I've had since coming here. I need to get opinions from the rest of you, for science.

Why are all of the Summoned attractive? I have not met a single ugly Summoned and while I do love looking at your gorgeous faces, it seems unusual. Is there an attractiveness requirement? Do they take that into consideration when plucking us out of our universes? Could there be deeper reasons or do they think 'well if they don't help us out, at least they up the beauty curve of our world from a four to a seven'?

I mean, that's what I would do, but I'm interested in other thoughts. Please do not respond to this with false modesty; I know you're pretty, you know you're pretty, this is serious. Unless one of you truly thinks you are unattractive in which case show me a picture if you can and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

[ Jesper laughs, surprised a little since he couldn't tell if Sephiroth noticed he was. The man is very serious after all. It's funny that he knew and still ignored it, that's usually the best way to go with someone who enjoys poking the bear.]

You caught me, gorgeous. I only mean it if you like it.

[ Otherwise it's harmless playfulness! Perfectly innocent! Anyway. He shakes his head. He'll have to be more careful with his joking considering how somber Sephiroth is.]

No, sorry, I'm just messing around. Please don't stab me.

[ Jesper is not a terrible swordsman, he can hold his own against most decent ones, even a few at a time, but he isn't in Sephiroth's level and not even in the area of it. ]

You’re not saying anything I haven’t heard before.

[The meaning unspoken is that Jesper will just have to try a little harder if he wants a reaction; how many times has just an errant passerby called him pretty, remarked on his hair, either politely or otherwise? It falls off of his shoulders like water rolling off stone.

Sephiroth falls into stance, holding his sword two-handed, elbow lifted with his blade running parallel with his arm. A practice sword is no Masamune, but it’ll have to do for now. The balance is different, but basic technique remains the same.]

Impress me in other ways. How fast are you?

I am not at all surprised to hear that. Something perfect like your face is bound to get comments.

[ It's flattery but it's also blunt honesty, a nice mix of the two. Sephiroth is lovely, that is the truth. Jesper compliments people without agenda all of the time, he likes the way it feels when they react, either with blushes or smiles, and so he'll keep trying to get one out of Sephiroth. Flirting comes as easily to him as breathing.

Jesper eyes his stance and mirrors it. He's there to spar as much as he is to learn. He doesn't have the technique, but he's an extremely good learner. He flashes a smile from behind the sword. ]

Try to catch me and find out.

[ One of Jesper's top talents is his speed. He is incredibly fast, he's able to shoot a gun and holster it in a split second, faster than people can usually follow the sight of. He's slippery and agile and has outrun dangerous people before, so even if he's not to Sephiroth's fighting level, he's good at defense. ]
