[ 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! ]

[looped]

Your secret admirer seems to think otherwise!

[bemist]

he's got a habit of assuming things
they're usually wrong

[looped]

Not a terribly good secret admirer then.
At least arming someone isn't usually a bad thing.
Sometimes!

[bemist]

that depends
entirely on the person

[looped]

Well, they've armed you, and given the context you're now arming others as result of that..
So I suppose you're sorta keeping track on who said persons are.

Anywho! Very experienced with fighting, are you?

[bemist]

Believe me, I didn't need the arming in the first place
so yeah
you could say I've been fighting
for a while

[ Understatement. ]

[looped]

I'll take your word for it.
So! Just weapon usage?
Or a bit of - "magic" as well?

[bemist]

what are we defining "magic" as? non-weaponry offense?

[looped]

Sure! Non-weaponry offense.

[bemist]

[ hm. ]

then yeah
though not as much

[looped]

Many of people's skills here do vary so I'm always curious to learn.
Well, I don't necessarily need learning regarding how to stab and such, but I'd be interested to see!

[bemist]

I'm fine with fighting you unless you want more of a demonstration
that's probably more of a simulation kinda thing

[looped]

With me? Oh my.. teehee, perhaps if I'm ever feeling up for it~!
But yes, I was thinking more of a demonstration!

[bemist]

I don't mind
but you'd have to meet up with me
you're good with that?

[looped]

Suppose I should get used to adjusting my legs and walking around more anyhow.
So yes, I'm good with that.

[bemist]

do you not move around all that much normally?

[looped]

Think of me like a star in the night sky!
I've just gotten a bit used to being stationary is all.

[bemist]

the last 'star' I knew
was a pain and a half
even when it was stationary

[looped]

You mean an actual star?

[bemist]

Not one I've ever seen
Though it's not like I'm experienced with stars
It was called the Blue Star, so who knows
Maybe it was

[looped]

Or maybe it is a reflection of one just like myself.

[bemist]

It's entirely possible
We call them Abnormalities, back home
As far as I know you're not that much like one

[looped]

[ ... ]

I suppose I'm not too different from an abnormality in general.
But how interesting!
And you deal a lot with these Abnormalities?

[bemist]

I used to suppress them
Then I wound up subduing and working together with them later on
They're pretty insistent when it comes down to it

[looped]

From suppressing to working together with them...
What changed your mind?
