Please be thorough but concise, and include links and REF tags. {{#set:Cast=Veiled Threats|Parent=Veiled Threats}} A few days after the events of [[Moxie at Moxie]], [[Star|Cut]] and [[Asp]] went to do some rock climbing and to get to know each other better. * [http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb The Climb] ==Introductions== The two members of the [[Veiled Threats]] met up at Pipeworks, a local rock climbing establishment. The two shared names, and Cut was very excited about his decision to bring some Gatorade to the party.<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340249&viewfull=1#post340249 Gatorade]</ref> The pair chatted about climbing. Cut described his work as a cabler and how he knew how to climb as a result, but did not climb for fun. : ''''I mean, not recreation style. Phone companies, there's some climbing. Poles, towers, sides of building, that sort of thing. Churches suck, by the way. Cabling the, hmmmm, nave, I think it's called. So I've done a little? But never a wall. Or, ummm, like a mountain.”<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340312&viewfull=1#post340312 The Nave]</ref> -Cut The pair discussed their interests. Cut asked Asp about the music she had been listening to when first they had met<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27726-Sanctuary Sanctuary]</ref>. She shamefully admitted that it was LMFAO and other upbeat, generally bad party music: : ''''What? It's not good music, but it keeps me from getting bored and has a good tempo for running...''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340444&viewfull=1#post340444 Crappy Music]</ref> -Asp : ''''Oh, totally, I get it. Like, I don't dance to crappy music.'''' -Cut<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340520&viewfull=1#post340520 Don't Dance to Crappy Music]</ref> Cut explained that he did card tricks for fun<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340409&viewfull=1#post340409 Card tricks!]</ref>, and Asp expressed a serious interest in seeing some of those. She was from Vegas, after all! They came to an agreement: Cut would show her tricks if Asp promised not to tell anybody if he fell. : ''''How about a deal? You get the show if you promise not to tell anyone if I fall?'''' -Cut<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=340653&viewfull=1#post340653 Don't Tell]</ref> ==The Climb== Asp and Cut began to climb, the Guardian and the Arrow going through a tortoise-and-hare sort of race. Cut was slow and steady, never falling except for the very beginning. Asp, on the other hand, was all starts and stops. Cut unintentionally fired the feisty lady up by taunting her after he got ahead: : ''''That. Urrrrgh. All. You. Got?''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341082&viewfull=1#post341082 All You Got?]</ref> -Cut As a result of the taunt, she got competitive and sloppy, barely managing to catch herself from falling. Cut continued his slow, steady pace, and Asp burst ahead before nearly falling again and injuring her arm. Ultimately, the two climbers tied and took a rest at the top to drink some water and chat<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341115&viewfull=1#post341115 The End of the Climb]</ref>. : ''''Nice climb. You're pretty good at this, man.''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341115&viewfull=1#post341115 Pretty Good!]</ref> -Asp ==At the Top== : '''Oh. My. God.''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341117&viewfull=1#post341117 OMG]</ref> -Cut After a quick fistbump of victory, Cut lay on his back, panting away. Asp offered him some of her ever-present Evian water and gazed out over Pipeworks. They discussed the climb. Cut said that she did not need to babysit him, and Asp made an admission: : ''''I was getting annoyed at myself for not performing.''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341165&viewfull=1#post341165 Annoyed...]</ref> -Asp Cut asked her if her competitive nature was why she joined the [[Adamantine Arrow]]. Asp explained that she joined for the honour, the drive to improve oneself and the camaraderie that Arrows shared.<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341190&viewfull=1#post341190 Why Asp joined the Arrow]</ref> : ''''I spoke to people, and this club just sort of resonated for me. Honesty. Self-improvement. Teamwork. Camaraderie. It's nice to be part of a brotherhood like that, you know?''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341190&viewfull=1#post341190 Why Asp is an Arrow]</ref> -Asp Asp asked Cut about where he was from. He explained that he was chasing the magic dream: : ''''Confession: I'm a small town kid. Like, every time you talk about Vegas... it sounds pretty exotic. I just moved around a lot. Chasing the dream. The whole magic thing. Thought, you know, I'd make something of myself. Had to keep stopping to do work and pay the bills.''''<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=341312&viewfull=1#post341312 Where Cut's From]</ref> -Cut Their climb completed, Cut offered to show her a trick once they were at the bottom. ==The Trick== Asp and Cut discussed how things went. Cut was not that much of a fan of recreational climbing, but the pair found common ground on enjoying ultimate frisbee. Perhaps that was what led Cut to the trick he chose: a card throw. With the assistance of little bit of Matter magic, Cut took aim at a bottle resting on Asp's hand ten yards away. With a flick of his wrist, he struck the difficult target successfully, leaving the card buried in the plastic. Asp was very impressed<ref>[http://nwod.org/forum/showthread.php?27889-Private-The-Climb&p=342087&viewfull=1#post342087 Impressed!]</ref>. With a little bit of banter, having enjoyed themselves, the two Awakened said their goodbyes and parted for the night. {{Links|Veiled Threats}}{{footer|mta}}[[Category:Mage Scenes]]
