[ He nodded in understanding. He began to concentrate on the feelings behind those images in his head. They were things he wanted to protect...because they were important to him. That's why he was here now, wasn't it? To protect and fight for Death city.

He began to feel strange, but he didn't break his concentration. ]

I'm starting to feel something. That means I'm getting there, right?

[a_royal_flush]

Mmmhm that's right. Keep focusing on those feelings.

[He was quiet for a few moments to allow for that to happen, and when he felt there had been enough time, he broke his silence.]

When you start feeling a warmth in your chest, I want you to slowly reach out to it with your mind.

[snarkymorale]

[ He nodded, his eyes still closed. The more he concentrated...the more he felt something different. An unfamiliar feeling. Warm.

This is what he was talking about, right? Reach out to it with his mind, huh? That was an abstract way to put it, but hey, he wasn't the one teaching it. Yuri did his best to follow his words, concentrating on the warm feeling. ]

I'm starting to feel a little weird now.

[a_royal_flush]

That's a good feeling. It's not anything to be scared about at all.

[He's quiet for a moment.]

Try to let your mind become one with that feeling.

[And if he's able to keep focused on it, he might be lucky enough to transform!]

[snarkymorale]

[ Focus. Focus. The feeling began to grow stronger, but Yuri didn't open his eyes. Yuuri said this was how things were supposed to go, right? All he had to do was keep his concentratio-

Was the ground always this close?

Yuri opened his eyes, and though he wasn't able to see it, it was a success. In his place, there was a katana with a black blade and white handle.

...This was kind of awkward. ]

I'm gonna guess it worked.

[a_royal_flush]

[He watched quietly while Yuri tried to focus on transforming. It took some time, but his expression brightened when he caught sight of the katana falling to the ground.]

Ooohwaaah! Yeah it did! You're a sword.

[snarkymorale]

I've always wondered what it felt it. [ He never imagined it'd feel like...well...this. He didn't feel stiff at all, but at the same time, he knew he couldn't move? It was weird. ]

So I have to concentrate like that every time?

[a_royal_flush]

It's a little strange at first, but it's something that you get used to.

Eh? Oh! In the beginning you will, but you'll find it getting easier over time until you can just transform at will.

[snarkymorale]

Huh. [ He concentrated again, trying to bring himself back to normal. ]

So, basically the meisters use me while I'm like this, huh? Man, it could have been easier just to give us weapons. [ He said this with a laugh, as light began to surround him again, and he rose up, now back in his human form. ]

[a_royal_flush]

Well... it's not like they use you. It's a full partnership so if you don't work together, then you both won't be able to fight as well as you could. Ordinary weapons don't do anything against kishing eggs or witches, sorry.

[snarkymorale]

Huh. [ Guess that'd make sense. Why else would they need them like this? ]

How long have you been here, Yuuri?

[a_royal_flush]

Me? [He blinks before scratching at his chin in thought.]

Ummm... I think about ten or eleven months now. [Wow, had it really been that long?]

[snarkymorale]

[ That long? It got a small smirk out of him. ]

Guess I should kill my hopes to get out of here quick and easy, huh?

[a_royal_flush]

Aaaah well you never know. [He didn't want to admit that he'd seen way too many friends come and go during his time here.] The best thing to do is to just focus on what's around you.

[snarkymorale]

Heh. You got that right. [ Just focus on what's around you, huh? ]

Thanks for the help, Yuuri.

[a_royal_flush]

Mmmhm!

You're more than welcome. If you ever need any more help, don't hesitate to ask! It doesn't just have to be just for Weapon transformation either.

[snarkymorale]

Right. I'll try not to be too much trouble though. [ He stood up, patting the dust off himself. ]

Guess I'll see you around then.

[a_royal_flush]

Sounds good! Seeya!
