[A pale and skinny boy who might be familiar to some appears on the screen, giving a casual wave and perky smile.]

So, there are a lot of monsters about the place, right? Not very safe if you're not a fighter. Which I guess means I should try to change that. So, I was just wondering, if anyone has the time, if they're able to teach a guy like me a little self-defence.

I'll warn you that I'm not a very competent person. Well.....actually, I'm not competent at all! However, I promise I'll do whatever I can to pay you back.

[Wait what? He stops dead for a second.]

You.....know people who have Ultimate Luck as a talent too?

[sonofacesius]

Yeah. Not a lot, Tyche isn't really a big cabin, but luck is a trait her kids inherit.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

[Cabin? As in Tyche is a living cabin or something? He probably misunderstood this.]

I see. When you mean not a lot, do you mean they are mostly affected by bad luck?

[He's not sure if his type of luck is the type Will is talking about.]

[sonofacesius]

No Tyche's kids, at least the ones I know of have good luck. Not that it stopped Chiara from getting hit with a nasty case of hay fever but, she normally pretty good about evading such things. She's one camper I usually don't have to worry about.

I thought you had good luck? Or am I wrong?

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

[Okay, it doesn't look like it's exactly the same as his luck.]

Well, you aren't wrong. It's not just good luck, though.

[sonofacesius]

Oh, so it can go both ways with you? Can you control it, or it just happens?

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Pretty much. Imagine if you got attacked by monsters outside and got badly injured. That's pretty bad luck, right? But then you suddenly discover some tickets to a luxury cruise! Isn't that amazing luck? That's how it works. So you're right, it does just happen. Nothing I can do to improve it as a skill. Pretty boring, right?

[sonofacesius]

Huh. Does it always even out like that? Something good to offset something bad?

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Something has to happen on the opposite end in order to balance things out. [And, because he wants to give Will the impression that this bothers him because Will would be completely right in this assumption, Komaeda changes the subject.]

You said you did archery, right?

[sonofacesius]

Yeah, I do archery. I'd be happy to teach you.

[Although the balance thing worried him. Not like a child of Tyche at all.]

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

You're very kind! I'll take your offer into account and let you know what I decide! Thanks!

[Sometimes it will involve hilariously comically ridiculously things. Sometimes it involves.....rather tragic things. He can usually sense (somehow) when minor bad luck is about to come though.]
