yes, but that's a metaphorical sparkle and we're going for a literal one~

[tauborn]

[The soothing wavelength from Bakura gets his to quiet down a little, but quiet doesn't necessarily mean it's easy. Still, the question distracts him and the resonance isn't poor enough to entirely break.]

Kinda. Apparently I can attract Kishin eggs or something? [This is what the people at the meister ability help area have told him before. And he does always seem to be some kind of target for the monsters... though, his being an obvious target could be for entirely different reasons. Like his hair. Or his coat. Or his need to shout out attacks.]

[perfectorder]

[exactly, Liz. exactly.

also, at this point Kid is kind of just. you know. there. because the weapons have gone into girl talk mode and he really has nothing to add to that conversation. so in the meantime, he'll just speak to Six.]

How long have you two been working together?

But I thought he didn't separate the two~ ;)

[shiromadoushi]

[[Dramatic pointing did sort of grab that kinda of attention, yeah.]]

That sounds like a pretty dangerous one! Though good for when you get strong, since you can draw them away from others.

[seadweller]

Okay!

[First things first then- relaxing and trying to do calm breathing!]

[shiromadoushi]

[[When it looked like she was getting that, Bakura spoke up again, voice quiet and gently to not interrupt her concentration]]

Now think of someone you care deeply about, someone you want to protect. Concentrate on that feeling and let it fill you so that it's all that you are.

it just means that right now he's not shining bright enough D:

[tauborn]

[He frowns, thinking back to the last missions he's been on. He doesn't realize his wavelength is about to spiral downwards into ever tighter circles alongside his mood.

With Ryuzaki, the Kishin egg had ignored the weapon and instead held on to Takuto, pinning him under the murky water. He tenses at the memory, which was, in some ways, the most horrifying experience of his life.

He'd never think of drowning as a peaceful way to go ever again. It had hurt, and been absolutely terrifying.]

Uh. [Sound only comes out because he's aware that Bakura said something to him and he probably expects a response. It is a dangerous ability.]

[seadweller]

[Okay.. protecting people.. well of course, she wants to protect her friends!
But it isn't long before her mind wanders over to WHY she would need to protect them, and soon enough she is thinking about past events on the meteor instead, and there is a frown on her face.]

*goes to get the glitter to help!*

[shiromadoushi]

...Takuto-kun? Are you all right...?

[shiromadoushi]

[[The frown was out of place there....]]

Something the matter...?

[seadweller]

[She opens her eyes]

It's hard to think about protecting people without thinking of all the bad stuff that happens to them!

[shiromadoushi]

Mmm, that's true. [[his voice is almost apologetic]] Maybe try thinking of the good times you had instead? Or things you want to do to a make things better?

[doc_holi]

[She sees that look, Six. Have you not realized how long it takes her to get out of Weapon form, yet?]

[Though, she does figure this is a good time to practice... even though the conversations may be over and everyone has probably left by then, but-]

[When she realizes that the two sisters are still going on about how pretty she is, though, she realizes that they're almost serious and she's suddenly getting jitters because she's really not all that pretty and-]

[She transforms out of her Weapon form without much though, mostly from embarrassment... While it might have been in her best interest to stay in Weapon form, it doesn't seem like that's a choice now.]

Ah, no no, I don't take photos or do anything special with my hair. Really. I just use that "no dandruff" stuff. [Speaking of her hair, she tugs on her bangs a little, turning a light red.] It's just hair. It's not that pretty.

[seadweller]

Alright.. I'll try it again..

[Eyes closed again, it goes a lot better this time. Thinking about the good stuff and not the bad really seems to help.]

[shiromadoushi]

Now try and let that feeling be all that you are. Those moments and how you want to keep them going forever and do what you can so that they can.

[kingofdisney]

Well, if how you're holding that blade is any indication, than she's obviously good at teaching people how to use a sword. How long have you been training for?

[sixthdeadliest]

[Yes, the males of the group have definitely been knocked out of that loop of conversation. Oh well.]

Here? Since just after she arrived. Back home, eighteen months.

[He lowers his tone slightly, not wanting to be overheard. He doesn't know if Kid's told his Weapons about the nanites.]

She's in charge of the research lab and also keeping Rex, our cure, healthy.

[And guess who gets to make sure the kid doesn't jump into trouble and end up way over his head?]

Keepin' this vague because that thread isn't finished yet, orz

[mieru_mienai]

I did.

[And it had been a pretty unexpected experience.

Yuugi holds out his hand as well but stops before making contact.]

Do you want me to try to transform?

you're going to need more glitter.

[tauborn]

Y-yeah. [He shakes his head slightly.] I was just... thinking about something.

[And with something of a slam, Takuto forcefully turns the shiny part of his personality on. It's something of a habit, especially lately, and he doesn't realize what kind of effect doing something like that might have on his wavelength, and thus, the weapon in his palm. Bakura will likely either get shocked right out of resonance, or he'll be able to recognize that there's a certain part of Takuto that is in the process of getting buried under a waterfall of dazzling false happiness.]

ahaha, I'll stop asking questions about it then

[tauborn]

[He nods, because he's really curious about what Yuugi's form is.]

Usually that's what weapons do when they resonate.

[Though he can't stop the slight pang when he remembers his first time resonating with Aion. The weapon hadn't been able to fully transform yet.]

[seadweller]

Hmm.. okay..

[A little frown, just because that sounds really weird! She tries though, eventually sinking deep into those thoughts until something begins to happen.]

A have this weird sort of tingly feeling inside! Does that mean something is happening?

[Which of course she lost by getting excited and talking..]

Just please forgive my ridiculous lack of description. XD

[mieru_mienai]

[That's what Yuugi thought, but Takuto told him before that it was possible without transforming as well. He's just going to go with whatever the other boy wants.

He swallows and closes his eyes, reminding himself that if he can't do this--if he can't allow himself to resonate with someone--then his being brought here would be rendered completely pointless. He won't allow that; it would be like abandoning his other self in the midst of their battle for his memories and not having a reason.

The transformation is clearly not effortless and takes him some time, but after a few false starts and a brief struggle, he succeeds in changing to his weapon form. If he had more skill, he would try to angle himself in a way that didn't put Takuto at risk of being cut by the blade, but he's not quite there yet.

So it's up to Takuto to catch him properly or get out of the way before that longsword falls towards him.]

[pishirogane]

Is that so?

[Sorry, she doesn't want him to be a hired hit bird or anything]

[Poe raises his wings at Kanji's hand]

He's fine when I smooth his feathers, but he's still getting use to everyone.

[pishirogane]

Things are well enough.

I... don't see what prompted this. Has Kanji-kun been acting peculiar?

[Perhaps it's something to inquire him about]

[motherofthesun]

[Amaterasu looks a little taken-aback at the idea of killing rabbits for being rabbits. It's one thing to have some place look nice, but to kill rabbits for that? She grunted, displeased, but nodded. She would find the burrow.]

[motherofthesun]

[... Understanding about what again? She tilts her head the other way.]
