Comments

OPEN to whoever needs to learn how to transform!

[a_royal_flush]

[Yuuri's standing there with a large friendly smile on his face. He's got his hands held behind his back and is waiting to help anyone who needs help learning to transform.]

[hershel]

[After Layton made the error of mistaking Clare for an instructor (how embarrassing...) he makes his way over to Yuuri, tips the brim of his hat in greeting and smiles]

Hello! Hopefully I'm not mistaken again. Are you the Weapon instructor?

[a_royal_flush]

[Yuuri's just finished helping someone else when he's approached. Blinking at the greeting, the young Maou smiled brightly.]

Hello! [His tone is cheerful and he turned to face the man.] Mmmhm that's me! I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri.

[hershel]

Ah, hello. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Hershel Layton.

[he smiles]

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like to find out how to transform.

[a_royal_flush]

It's great to meet you too, Hershel!

Sure! I'd be happy to help out. [There's a large grin on his face.] Let's sit down on the grass and we can go from there.

[hyuuga]

[So unsure. On one hand, she's pretty certain he's the instructor for this section. On the other, new person...and in person, too. Asking for help from strangers is hard.]

Um, hello..? You...are the instructor for this, right?

[a_royal_flush]

[He glanced over just after she approached. With a smile on his face, there was nothing but a friendly air around him.]

Good morning.

Mmhm I am, yeah. I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri.

[hyuuga]

[With all the friendliness, she can't help smiling back.]

It's nice to meet you. Um, I'm Hyuuga Hinata. Um, I-I suppose I just...I have a few questions..

[a_royal_flush]

It's nice to meet you to, Hinata.

Sure! I'll try to answer them as best as I can. What's on your mind?

[hyuuga]

[shuffling from foot-to-foot, thinking.]

Well... Just about finding one's Weapon form. Um, people have really only mentioned some...somewhat violent ways of finding it. Like...falling down stairs or running at a wall. There are...other ways of finding it, right?

[a_royal_flush]

[His expression softened lightly at her nervousness. That was something that he could understand.]

Eh? Oh no, not at all! There are definitely other ways that you can try and transform that don't involve injuring yourself. [He looks a little alarmed that someone would even suggest that.] Like a kind of meditation for one thing.

[hyuuga]

[She catches that look and almost feels bad for mentioning it.]

Ah, I-I think they...they were only trying to help. It's apparently how others transformed. But...meditation does sound much better. Though, um, when you say, 'a kind of'... Do you mean it's a little different than meditating normally?

[a_royal_flush]

That's so dangerous though.[he still looked worried. Doing something so dangerous always made him worried though.]

It is, yeah. It's more like a self-reflection than proper meditation.

[hyuuga]

Yes, it...it really is. [She definitely wouldn't argue on that part.]

Oh, OK. That does...it makes more sense. It shouldn't be too hard to do that, then.. [Especially since meditation was something she did every day.]

[a_royal_flush]

I've no doubt that you can do it. [There was an encouraging smile before he's gesturing for her to join him with sitting on the ground.]

Now what I want you to do is to close your eyes and to think of only the thing that's most important to you.

[braidedwonder]

[ Have a braided newbie, Yuuri, walking over with a friendly smile on his face. It seems he's decided that if he has to be here, he might as well see what this whole weapon thing is all about and see how he can help, if he can. ]

Hey, you're the guy i'm supposed to talk to about Weapon transformation, right?

[a_royal_flush]

[The friendly smile is returned with one just the same when he noticed the other boy.]

Mmmhm that's me! I'm Yuuri, Shibuya Yuuri. It's nice to meet you.

[braidedwonder]

[ Duo offers his hand for a shake. ] You too, I'm Duo Maxwell.

Any chance I can pick your brain about this transformation thing?

[a_royal_flush]

[The handshake is unexpected, but he returns it happily.]

Sure! That's what I'm here for. What would you like to ask first?

[braidedwonder]

Well I guess I oughtah start with the basics, you know? Like how the hell I manage it?

[ He shrugs almost sheepishly. ] I'm curious what weapon I would even be..

[a_royal_flush]

[Yuuri nodded his head to the mention about the basics.]

There are a few ways you can try to learn how to transform, but I always find the best way is sort of similar to a bit of meditation, since it teaches you faster how to control the transformation process.

[The sheepish expression is something he knows well, and he grinned in an encouraging manner as he said.] Most people usually are! Weapons usually find themselves transforming into something familiar from their own world. I know I did when I first transformed.

[braidedwonder]

Aw man, meditation? [ He'd tried that once, at Wufei's insistence, and that really hadn't gone all that well. Duo was a very active person by nature, and sitting for a long time in order to 'find his center' or 'become one with himself' just wasn't something a busy body found exceedingly easy. ]

.... Is there any other way? [ A nervous laugh. ] Sorry, I'm just not the best at that... from experience.

Oh yeah? Man.. that could be any sort of thing, considering... [ Imagine if he could be a gundam.. ]

[a_royal_flush]

[The disappointment was obvious, and there was an awkward look to his smile.]

Aaa well it's not as serious as meditation if you want to give it a try? [There were other ways, but Yuuri couldn't bring himself to mention ways to possible hurt yourself!]

Mmhm! It's always kind of exciting to find out.

[braidedwonder]

Yeah I guess I can - I wanna know what this whole 'weapon form' thing is, after all. [ He wouldn't mind the possibility of getting hurt, honestly - but then again not everyone is a Gundam pilot or Duo Maxwell. He seems to steel himself a little, straightening his shoulders and letting out a heavy breath. ]

Okay, so what do I have to do?

sorry this is so late :(

[a_royal_flush]

It is a great thing to learn.

[He gestured for the other boy to join him on the grass as he sat down.]

What I want you to do is to close your eyes and clear your mind.
