How are we supposed to find out what Holiday's ability is in the first place?

[She can choose to not collect them? She'll have to ask about that, but not here.]

I didn't even know I would get abilities.

[Yes, a different topic that is still important. Good.]

I think that the easiest way would be to just use her Weapon form and practice till you can find it, de arimasu.

Everyone's ability is different, and sometimes they're things you wouldn't expect, de arimasu.

[He is all about the different topics. And he just likes sounding smarter than other people.]

And sometimes the ability is something that's related to what you can do back in your own world.

[Pause.]

What do you turn into?

I see...[He's going to let Holiday handle Eve's question as he thinks this over.]

[She gets abilities that become stronger upon collecting souls... As if she weren't conflicted enough.]

A chakram. It's a type of bladed weapon from our world.

A chakram? We have those back in our world too, de arimasu! [He once played a game where the character used those as weapons. That counts.]

Mine too. But I've only seen them in books.

[Not surprising given parallel worlds. Unless there were major changes, it made sense that similar weapons would develop.]

I'm assuming the ability would primarily relate back to her Weapon form?

[Perhaps that boomerang ability of Holiday's was her Weapon ability? It seemed too easy.]

[Holiday stays quiet as she thinks on this. If it wouldn't relate back to her Weapon form, then what?]

[She's scared that it may end up being Nanite related.]

Not always, de arimasu. I think there have been cases where the abilities weren't related at all, de arimasu.

I used to turn into a scarf. [She supplied helpfully, because it was relevant.] But my Weapon ability had more to do with what I could do back home. [Instead of anything relating to scarves. Then again, that might be because there was no scarf-related ability that could have been useful in a combat situation.

She wondered if that had anything to do with it...]

Wait. I thought you were a Meister, Eve.

[Could Weapons be Meisters, too?]

So... my Weapon ability could just... be anything...

[That narrows it down nicely.]

When you put it like that, de arimasu....I guess it really could be anything, de arimasu.

Kero...at least you're still a Weapon, so no matter what, you guys should be okay in a combat situation even if you don't know what your ability is, de arimasu.

[And for the first time, it occurs to Keroro that he's really lucky his ability is activated through pressing buttons. Very little is easier than pressing a button.]

I was a Weapon when I first came here. I was turned into a Meister later.

...I didn't realize it was possible to switch between the two roles.

[As if this place didn't give him enough of a headache.]

[And now this?]

I can turn into a Meister...

[Transforming into something was confusing and mindblowing enough and now she finds out that could change, too?]

Only if you get sent back home, de arimasu. You can't just randomly switch while you're here, de arimasu.

[That would be making it too easy.]

[She nods.]

It's not something you can control. It just...happens.

[Though she stares at her partner thoughtfully as a thought occurs to her...

...but it wasn't exactly relevant to the current dicussion so she files it away to think about later.]

I see. [That was interesting for two reasons: One, there was a way back though BREW might pull you back to Death City, and, two, the process might change what you could do.]

Do most Meister and Weapon abilities compliment one another or is it more random?

[Holiday stayed quiet to wait for this answer. To her, it seemed that everything was just going to be... completely random, but they can just work on that and see how it goes.]

I think it's random, de arimasu. It all depends on how lucky you are in finding your partner, de arimasu. But I think that if your personalities compliment each other, even if your abilities didn't, you'd find a way, de arimasu.

[...now that she thought about it. She was pretty lucky that adapting to Keroro's ability was as simple as asking him to create certain objects as opposed to what she could do at home which is create it herself. Since she mostly agreed with Keroro she just let her partner do the talking for now.]

[He nods his understanding, tilting his head towards Holiday in mute question whether or not she had anything to add that he might not have thought of.]
