[ NEJI?! INTERESTED IN WEAPONRY?! HOLD THE PHONE?!

Tenten is simply Too Delighted For Words. She's a bit starstruck that Neji would select her weaponry collection to inspect (even though there aren't any weaponry places in Death City...) but she quickly gets over it as she silently pulls out a flail. There's a long chord between the spiked weight and the thin blade. ]


How about this, Neji? This would work perfect with your rotation and the blade can work well in combination with your Jyuken. [ She hands it towards him for him to try out, but she's not sure if there'd be any weaponry Neji could use that wouldn't be silver fingertips. ]

[Neji takes it, curious in spite of it's seeming unwieldy nature, backs off and tries a few basic swings.

It's not bad, flexible enough to potentially incorporate with some work, and a crippling punch at the end. Even without applying concentrated force, it'd still hurt. And while he can't really use Kaiten anymore, though his style still revolves around innate circular movement]


Not bad. I like the flexibility of the chain, but it seems like it has some potential to overbalance me on it's own..

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-05-22 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Hm... I guess that'd be quite the challenge then. I guess this rules out the meteor hammer too. [ She briefly holds up a similar instrument, except the blades are replaced by two large weights.

She then pulls out a bullwhip. ]


Try this. It's similar in use, although, its design allows it to exceed the speed of sound when used properly. There are a couple of other weapons that can be used to restrain or injure a target similar to this, if you want to see if those would work more. [ She pulls out a Qilinbian for Neji to test after this. ]

[It looks promising; all flexibility and incredibly light with potential for restraint if not too much in way of inflicting real injury. Which suited his purposes well enough, considering that killing Kishin Eggs with ordinary Weapons is said to be entirely impossible.

He moves a fair distance and tries each of them with the bit of basic use he'd learned from Shibusen's classes before he'd found himself a Weapon of his own. He comes back and hands them both over]


The chain whip is something I'll certainly consider. We need something to restrain and potentially hook on or into targets from a decent range.. Capability of inflicting injury is preferable but not entirely necessary.

[He knows he's being difficult, but Tenten knows weaponry infinitely better than anyone else he knew, and that if anyone could think of something as close to what he wanted as possible, it was her]

What other types of weapons feature chain lengths?

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-05-24 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ She watches him use the latest weapons she sets out and she observes his form. By doing this, she can have a general prediction about his complaints or assessments. ]

The Chain Whip pretty much features all of that. As for weapons with chains, the scythe, the meteor hammer, the chained grapple, nunchucks and the like. [ She hands him a mankiri. ] Try this and tell me what you think of it. This might be something up your alley. [ She doesn't mind the pickiness. The fact that he's even paying attention in weapons this much excites Tenten. ]
heavenly_earth: (Anime; Movie; Satisfied)

[personal profile] heavenly_earth 2012-05-25 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He's pleased with it, managing to successfully make it wrap around a training pole a few times, tugging on it to assure it's solid grip and flexing the chain before he moves back over to her]

I'm rather fond of it; it's simple and effective for my purposes with the fluidity I need. [But it could just use a sharp or hooked side..] Do you have the chained scythe and grapple available?
weaponry: (pic#2327233)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-05-25 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I do. [ Tenten hands Neji something that looks similar to to test out first. ] Try this first. I think this weapon would be much easier to use than the grapple.
heavenly_earth: (Anime; Movie; Satisfied)

[personal profile] heavenly_earth 2012-05-26 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
[Just looking at it, it's perfect. The chain is long, but not uncomfortably so, and if he thinks of it in terms of pulling Kishin off-balance or interrupting an attack from middle-distance, it's just fine.

He hands it back to her with a satisfied nod]
Would you mind showcasing it's full capabilities?
weaponry: (pic#2327244)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-05-27 11:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sure. Anything in specific you wish to see? [ She knows he's looking for specific maneuvers. She might as well streamline it now. ]
heavenly_earth: (Anime; Game; Fly)

[personal profile] heavenly_earth 2012-05-31 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[Instead of answering, Neji rushes at her with a thin blade slipped from the table. Leaps up and comes down in a predictable arc]
weaponry: (pic#2327110)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-06-01 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tenten immediately forsakes her chair and rolls to the right. She throws the top side of the flail upwards. She aims for his wrist so she can try to knock the weapon out of his hand. Failing that, she'll instead move the chain a bit backwards so it can try to wrap around his arm. ]
heavenly_earth: (Anime; Ready)

[personal profile] heavenly_earth 2012-06-12 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[The chain instead wraps around his arm with little effort, rendering his sword arm useless. Neji flips the weapon to his other hand and wraps the fingers of his ensnared arm around the chain in an effort to keep Tenten from escaping as he runs forward to close in]
weaponry: (You're like my constipation)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-06-13 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ Tenten walks backwards a bit before tugging the chain and pulling it downwards. She's not sure if it'll be enough to trip Neji, or make him lose balance, but she sure hopes it'll be. ]

heavenly_earth: (Anime; Movie; CuteFace)

[personal profile] heavenly_earth 2012-06-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
[It's a clever tactic, and Neji overbalances, falling forward for the unexpected shift]
weaponry: (/slowly resists van halen lyric ke-)

[personal profile] weaponry 2012-06-14 12:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She leaps up as quick as possible, but, with the chain still wrapped around both of their arms, she has to lean a bit to avoid getting into a tug-a-war with Neji's body. ]
