Santa.

[ there's a pause and a little huff, as if natasha can't quite bring herself to take this seriously. ]

If I really must make a request, I'd like a set of throwing knives, as I arrived here without my own.

[ and another pause, then in a quieter tone. ]

And a pair of ballet slippers.

You don't hear that combination every day.

[duplicitas]

I must just be unique in that respect then.

[saidrepent]

To be honest, I'm not sure whether it's the knives or the shoes that set you apart.

[duplicitas]

It seems the combination is what attracts such attention.

That's gotta be the most terrifyin' version of Swan Lake anyone could dream up.

[ audio ]

[duplicitas]

They're hardly to be used in tandem.

[ridethecyclone]

Oh, I don’t know, sounds like my kinda ballet.

[ audio ]

[duplicitas]

And you've seen enough ballet to form an opinion on this?

[valentineluke]

Interesting request, the knives.

[duplicitas]

How so?

[valentineluke]

Struck me more as the firearm sort.

[duplicitas]

I'm not lacking my firearms.

[ That awkward moment when you want to ask an acquaintance to teach you how to use throwing knives. ]

How many usually come in a set?

[duplicitas]

Depends. I favor sets of six.

[oneminutemaze]

Why's that?

[duplicitas]

Six is better than four.

[ which is really just natasha side-stepping the question but hey. ]

[ironmanic]

So if I laughed right now- would I be able to keep my limbs attached?

[duplicitas]

No.

Consider you next move carefully.

[ironmanic]

Was that another threat?

[duplicitas]

Consider it advice.
