[radiantwingedone]

Unnecessary, before here. [ He means medicines, he has no idea what those gadgets were for. ] Splinting and bandaging was for rush, usually supplemented by Gels and Bottles... which are not included..

[donttelldaddy]

[She takes his hand, and nods. Lili still has no intention of hitting him in the head, but she doesn't see it as a handicap. He's grieving, and more than a little frustrated, the last thing he needs is to be patronized.]

Your way, then.

[topidol]

[It isn't shyness that keeps Kasuka from directly approaching strangers. He doesn't feel that kind of anxiety. It's just a lack of purpose, of anything useful to say, so he's been lurking more than anything so far.

He remembers Qilby, though. In fact, he's the only reason Kasuka showed up at all, so he approaches him with gentle steps, so as not to startle.]

Good morning.

[topgun_textiles]

That ain't true... 's never a waste of time to be there for somebody.

I-I'll hang around for as long as y'want me.

[pishirogane]

... That might be too long.

[She hopes he didn't hear that. Quickly, she clears her throat] Very well. We can head back together at the very least.

[coolest]

Yeah. Give me six of those training swords then, and we can get to it.

[He's itching, positively eager for a fight. Having watched Kaoru with some of the adult beginners, he was amazed that she wasn't half bad with a sword.]

[coolest]

Yeah!! Got up especially to see whether you'd appear here!

[Kojuro would yell at him if he just discarded his food now after he put on his plate but Sanada Yukimura was right in front of him. Masamune takes a step forward towards his rival, the pile of breakfast wobbling ever so slightly.]

I never got to ask what shape your soul took either.

OPEN!

[willing_sheath]

[Tomoe was admittedly a bit of a snob when it came to western food, more than stuck in her ways and generally perfectly content to make her own proper food...]

[But there was a time and a place to try new things, and considering she hadn't actually eaten anything since the previous night and hadn't wanted to eat anything before she left her room now seemed to be the time.]

[Maybe...]

[Possibly...]

[It would help if much of what she saw didn't remind her of food more fit for snacking than a proper meal...]

[And finally walks away with a plate of scrambled eggs, a few strawberries and an experimental pancake that she was quietly poking with a fork and lamenting the complete absence of any rice at all.]

[pmsgargoyle]

[but Chrono. She IS mean.]

I believe that is Shibusen's part. They should be the ones trying to prepare us better.

[coolest]

Wouldn't be here if I wasn't one, would I?

[He crosses his arms. Of course his curiosity is piqued, because it means that this guy's been through it all. Now he wonders what kind of soul he's got - obviously a Meister, so what ability? Masamune's practically itching to find out all the things.]

[rebelwithaclock]

I hope you're right...[He pauses, taking a deep breath.] No. You're right. I can't hesitate.

[rebelwithaclock]

Yeah. You're right. I think they want to, but they don't want to force people to fight, either...but if they don't force people to go to training, and an attack happens, then what will we do? Maybe they give us too much freedom here.

[topgun_textiles]

[Did she say something a second ago? Kanji blinked at her.]

Oh, uh, cool! Let's get outta here.

[He'll just follow her lead. He'd been cooping himself up at home and work for far too long this week. It was nice to get some fresh air, at least.]

Re: OPEN

[forhispeople]

Oh? I thought it seemed you were doing quite well compared to the others I see around here. Yes, it wasn't perfect-- you did seem to have trouble keeping your arm stable, there-- but it's clear to me that you've had formalized training. Were you in the military, perhaps?

[motherofthesun]

[So much like a sore thumb that, after her short yawn, her amber eyes just follow, confused. And just what do you think you're doing?]

Re: OPEN

[pishirogane]

No, I do not serve in the military. I'm a detective.

[pmsgargoyle]

If one accepts and agrees on fighting for an unknown war, they must subject ourselves to rules and discipline. Such is the way of a clan or an army. Things must have an order and they cannot be chaotic; allowing their warriors to do whatever they wish will create chaos.

[and it's actually a good thing for Demona's objectives, but it can be a two edged knife. Humans hate to be told what to do and they could get nasty for having Shibusen forcing them to follow certain rules regarding fights]

[pishirogane]

[She nods and leads the way. Off to Death City Heights they go...]

[... Mostly in silence. Usually, it's comforting to have another presence, but right now, it feels somewhat uncomfortable.]

[forhispeople]

[Ling doesn't seem intimidated by any of this. He smiles brightly]

Come now, don't be so modest, sir. I thought looked pretty neat!

[willing_sheath]

[Tomoe can't really miss him considering that hair, and she goes to greet him with her own meager plate of scrabbled eggs and an experimental pancake.]

Good morning, Bakura-san.

[Congrats. You got her here. Kind of.]

[shihandai]

Oh you're going to spar with me too? Well I've never fought against six swords before. I'll do my best! [Kaoru offers a smile, also pretty excited. For a fellow swordsman to acknowledge her as a swordsman, not for her gender--it's a great honor to her. If that didn't warrant her respect already...

She tosses three at him, then another three. ]
I'm more interested in seeing how you can use so many!

[hououji]

If I am going to be showing others, it's probably best to just have simple close-range targets. Arrows do not fly far without much practice. So long as they can be moved, I think anything would do just fine.

[She's trying to remember how she first started out--probably with arrows scattered everywhere not even reaching the target.]

[boredallready]

[Lloyd blinks and looks slightly surprised through his annoyance. He could have sworn Kratos was just using a practice sword... He also couldn't help but note that he was proving that now was just as good a time to train, if not a better one, than four in the morning.

He kinda felt sorry for that dummy, though. Kratos just wasn't nice to anybody or anything, was he?]

[topgun_textiles]

Sorry... I ain't that good at keepin' my cool. [Then he ran a hand over his face.]

I figured I'd come down n' beat on one of the bags, see if that helps.

[He shook his head.]

's not a big help.

[A few ruffles of the chest fluff.]

You are, though. ...Thanks.

[suchselfishness]

[ Well, that gets a gasp out of her. She jumps a mile, nearly dropping her cup of cocoa before scrambling to keep it from spilling or falling. ]

Wh- What d'you think you're doing?! You don't just jump out at people like that!
