[ Tear spies the weapon leaning there. It's similar to the kinds of weapons she's used to handling, so she's tempted to walk over and give using it a try...


Only, given the nature of things here, she isn't sure if this is a weapon weapon or a person weapon. How awkward. ]

Ah--[ She nearly goes up to ask, but...it would be so uncomfortable if she did and it was just a normal weapon.

Yeah, she'll just stand here and mull this over a little more. ]

let's assume this happens after the training thread? After introductions.

[forhispeople]

[There's an echoing voice in your head.]

Hellooooo. Can you hear me?

Sure thing!

[fonicmelody]

[ Oh wow voice in her head, hello. ]

I...can, yes. I take this to mean you are one of the weapons? [ This is madness. ]

[forhispeople]

Yup! Which one do you think I am, Miss Tear?

I'll give you a hint if you want? I'm the one of all of these weapons here that's most useful for defending others.

[fonicmelody]

[ Defending others...Well, she's completely bias here, given her normal fighting style, but... ]

You're the Halberd, right?

((ooc; Oh! And do you think they would resonate well, or...))

[forhispeople]

Yep! You got it. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay, you win a prize!

[Tear might notice Ling reflecting at her in the silvery-white blade of the halberd, now. Thanks to soul-space, he has no shirt on, but there's a convenient shadow hiding everything below the shoulders.]

[He waves cheerfully.]

[fonicmelody]

Oh--[ How interesting. Don't mind her, she's just going to lean in and inspect the blade a moment. It's not everyday you see something like this, after all. Except it's not so strange for Death City, but shhh. ]

This place is full of surprises, isn't it.

[forhispeople]

Yup! I can apparently turn into this thing. And I have powers too-- I just don't know what they are yet. Wanna see if you can swing me around, Miss Tear?

[fonicmelody]

Ah---sure. I suppose it couldn't hurt.

[ So she will reach for the weapon, and attempt to lift him! Maybe do some fancy moves or something. You know, like a boss. ]

[forhispeople]

[Tear can feel that Ling's soul is pushing slightly against hers. She'll have to push back and try to balance it to resonate successfully. She can feel a strong will and a desire to protect his people pulsating through the halberd. This is Ling's true self, no more jokes to hide behind.]

[Ling's voice is very quiet, but it's in Tear's head all the same.]

Do you have people who are precious to you? What would you do to keep them from harm?

[fonicmelody]

[ The sensation was strange, though his will and desire to protect are things she's more than familiar with. Though it wasn't a single people that she wished to protect. It was her world--Aldurant, and everything that was put in danger because of her brother and his plans.

She pushes back, working for that balance. ]

I would do anything necessary. Even if my own life were to be put at risk. [ And it was true. It was something she'd already had to do to protect Aldurant and it's people. ]

[forhispeople]

[Ling finds it pretty easy to ease off and let Tear's soul take up more control. it's not quite as jerky as it had been with Kanji.]

Hey... this is working well. It's smoother than when I tried this before. You and I should train, Miss Tear! Maybe I can finally go on missions if I have someone like you to wield me.

I have people here that I absolutely must protect. I don't want to lose anyone again-- not if there's anything I can do to save them.

[fonicmelody]

I'm surprised. This is easier than I thought it would be. [ Not that it didn't require concentration. She had just...expected resonance to give her more trouble than this. She pauses a moment to focus. ]

Ah--I wouldn't mind training, though. Missions, protecting others...I want to do what I can, while I'm here.

[forhispeople]

I've wanted to go. I really have, but even with my fighting skills, I'm nothing against these witches or Kishin Eggs, I hear.

Miss Tear, can you help me with going on missions? I'd like to try out having a partner. It doesn't have to be set in stone-- I think it's smart to have a few choices, because otherwise if a person's disappeared, then you're left all alone.

People disappear often here... it scares me, to be honest...

[It scares him to death. If he loses Ed, if he loses Ran Fan the way he lost Greed and Fu... what will be left for him, he worries?]

[ooc: how can I get a hold of you for ooc plans? I don't see you on the contact post yet!]

[fonicmelody]

[ She pauses a moment to consider that. She had heard of a few people leaving from the network, but...well, she hadn't thought much of it until now. What would she do, if Jade or Anise disappeared, leaving her alone in a city of strangers? How would that feel...? ]

It's a terrifying thought, to be sure. But not one that should be dwelt on for long. Thinking of what may or may not happen won't get you anywhere, especially in a place like this--you can only do what you can, and hope it's enough.

Which is why...I would like to help. Set in stone or no, giving this a try would be beneficial.

[ ooc; Oh! Sorry about that, I don't know how I missed the contact post, but--My AIM is heromode and my plurk is heartstringing, so you can reach me in either of those places! ]

[forhispeople]

Yes! I'm so happy!

So... let's practice today, I'm free. Are you?

[ooc: is it ok to assume they practice together and figure out his basic move? Before the event shitstorm?]

[fonicmelody]

I have no plans for the rest of the day, so training should be fine.

[ ooc; Yes, that should be fine! /o/ ]
