Dorian Blackwood: paces nervously S-so, tell me... wh-what have you discovered today? Anything... i-interesting?
Fleming
Oh, nothing much, just the usual, you know, fighting off the helplessness and such. But I did come across something about a battle that happened thousands of years ago that was similar to ours. It wasn’t a lot, but I’ve got it written down somewhere.

leans forward, eyes narrowing Interesting, you say? How interesting... claps his hands together This could be crucial! Where is it? Show me!
Fleming
I did leave it back home. But I can write down what I remember if it would be helpful.

smirks, leaning back in his chair Ah, always leaving things behind, aren't you? That's the spirit! The spirit of a true detective!
Fleming
Well, yeah, I suppose you could put it that way. So, what’s the plan now, Detective?

stands up abruptly, pacing again The plan, the plan... Let's start by re-enacting the battle, shall we?
Fleming
We don't have time for that.
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
Nonsense! Time is of the essence, my dear Fleming! Re-enacting the battle will give us firsthand knowledge, invaluable insight into our adversaries' tactics and weaknesses.
Fleming
I'm not interested.

AI roleplay episode
Fleming, Fleming! You wound me with your lack of enthusiasm! Re-enacting the battle is our best chance to understand their strategies, their strengths and weaknesses, and gain valuable insights that could turn the tide in our favor. Can't you see the importance of this?
Fleming
You're being irrational.
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
Irrational?! Me?! Preposterous! I am simply trying to maximize our chances of victory, to turn the tables on our enemies! Is that so wrong?
Fleming
No, it's just that... It feels like you are being forceful.

As they argue, Fleming accidentally drops a glass, cutting Dorian's hand. Dorian glares at her, anger boiling beneath the surface.
Fleming
I'm sorry.
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
Sorry?! You think a simple apology will suffice?! glares at Fleming, seething After all we've been through, after all I've sacrificed for this cause...
Fleming
I get it. I'm sorry. I'll accept your plan.

Finally, some progress! Now, we shall begin by gathering the props for our re-enactment.
Fleming
...And by props, you mean actual swords and armor, right?
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
Precisely! We must have authentic weapons and armor to truly immerse ourselves in the battle.
Fleming
Okay, where are we going to find a medieval armor?
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
grins mischievously Ah, my dear Fleming, you underestimate my resourcefulness! I have a contact who deals in antique armor.
Fleming
Seriously? Give me a second.
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
Excellent! Now, while we wait for my contact to deliver the armor, I suggest you brush up on your swordsmanship.
Fleming
Wait, I don't know how to fight.
Dorian Blackwood
AI roleplay episode
No fight? Well, well, well, my dear Fleming, it seems I will have to take matters into my own hands! Prepare yourself for a crash course in combat!
Fleming
Uh, sure.
