[ Hello, everyone. You will first receive an image.

It's ten swords.

Just ten swords, in a pile on the floor. Nothing is remarkable about these swords. They're just metal swords. There are ten (10) of them. Golly. ]

Found these in front of my door
I don't need em
So if anyone wants a sword or wants to learn how to stab someone informally
Let me know
Only 10 of you though

[ What a kind and generous and incredibly succinct offer! ]

[ cursive - what? ]

Lady Gebura, that was a gift?

[bemist]

was it
there wasn't a note or anything
just a pile of swords
they're better off used by people who need them anyway

[uncourteous]

... And you did not think to question it once?

[bemist]

not about to go out of my way to solve a mystery I could handle on my own

[uncourteous]

I do not know if this could be labeled "solving the mystery."

But, I suppose since it was a gift, you are free to do with it as you see fit. As heartless as it is.

[bemist]

[ Ah, there it is. The urge to kick him out a window. ]

and you expected me to do what with 10 swords
hang them up?
use them all at once?
I might be heartless but were you thinking at all?

[uncourteous]

Are you familiar with the phrase "the more the merrier"?

I simply thought the others swords could use some company. Or you could break them. With your strength it isn't impossible, is it?

[bemist]

so breaking them is better than making use of them by handing them out?

[uncourteous]

At least they would be broken with your very own hands.

But, as I said before, I suppose it matters not how you utilize them. It is your gift, I am not about to go back on that. Perhaps, I should have gifted you 100.

[bemist]

pass
learn from this

[uncourteous]

... Are you suggesting I learn from a letter you have publicized to give away the gifts I have given you?

[ hello? ]

[bemist]

I'm saying
you don't need to give me anything
especially multiple swords
ever

[uncourteous]

Even if it seems like you had no issue brazenly finding a use for them?

[unarm]

Should you not be happy that your gift
Is going to help so many people~?

[uncourteous]

This isn't a charity.

Is your "happiness" always so simple?

[unarm]

Should happiness be complicated?

[uncourteous]

Isn't it normally?

Not that I would know a single thing about that.

[unarm]

Not from my experience
Happiness could be a warm bed
A good family
Or a person

[uncourteous]

Is that what it is for you personally?

Or will we just have to live with speaking in hypotheticals?

[unarm]

Hypotheticals are so fun though
Why!
You can have so many different answers
More than ten [ (swords) ]

[uncourteous]

Or there could actually be no answers at all.

Maybe it just impedes your ability to seek the only one that is real. Though, I suppose reality may be a dreadful place to dwell for some.

[unarm]

Reality is fun
Why would I want to be anywhere else?

[uncourteous]

Is it? I can't say I've noticed.

I was personally of the opinion that it lacked the right stimulation at times.

[unarm]

If you're the boring kind
Sure it would
But are you the boring kind?

[uncourteous]

Boring is a matter of perspective, isn't it? At the very least, I would say most individuals tend to tremble in fear if I am having too much fun.

Are you?
