[obimycommands]

Ah, then perhaps we might be compatible? Though... just dost thou wield weaponry in that form?

Oh, so it is indeed much like the job of exorcists.

[motherofthesun]

Yes, why not?

That's right.

whoops forgot "how" in that second question

[obimycommands]

Well, I'm just not sure how thou might wield a weapon as a wolf - or art thou not always in that form?

Haha, I see.

[motherofthesun]

I've been fine with the usual beads, glaive and reflector and weapons close to the sort. Nothing to worry about.

[obimycommands]

Ho, I see. Though I suppose, given the nature of mine own form, it's somewhat moot question. [Given she tends to move herself, manipulated more by will than physical efforts] Perhaps then, we could give it a try?

[STILL... FEELS A BIT WEIRD TO ASK AMATERASU-SAMA TO BE HER PARTNER... EVEN IF SHE IS A FLUFFY DOGGY RIGHT NOW]

[motherofthesun]

We can if you would like to.

[obimycommands]

Alright, well...

[Taking a breath, Kiriha transforms - unlike most people new here, it's completely familiar to her and she quite easily becomes an obi, folded up nicely on the ground before Amaterasu.

And though she imagined how she could be worn and thus wielded, it now occurs to her:]

Ah... how art thou going to put me on?

[motherofthesun]

[Amaterasu stares, but then does the logically thing for a wolf anyway. She picks Kiriha up with her fangs, one end shorter than the other, and twirls so she wraps around her fuzzy neck.]

[There are a few more finishing touches done by what could be best described as invisible hands as Amaterasu let's go]

There, that wasn't so bad.

[obimycommands]

[Kiriha is a bit wary of being handled by her mouth, but it turns out fine - and her own tucking herself in seems complimented by something else? In any case, it seems a fine way to be worn]

Ho, I think this shalt work just fine then!

[She realizes she totally didn't read that from Amaterasu's communicator]

So thou art speaking to me mentally now?

[motherofthesun]

[There's no need for the communicator right now. Probably too hard to read it in the form she was in now.]

That's right. Hello!

[obimycommands]

Ho... It is much like when I am wielded by Kazuya, but I didn't expect this to come so easily - we usually only communicate by thought when necessary such as in battle, so as not to give away our plans.

[motherofthesun]

Ah, so you're used to being wielded. Well, if there was another way to communicate, but if I speak--

[She barks once for full explanation.]

[obimycommands]

Ah...

So canst thou only talk to those you are wielding like this? Seeing as thou did not before.

[motherofthesun]

That's correct. Well, unless I use the communicator, but that does take some time.

[obimycommands]

I see - it is too bad that thou canst not do this with the users here - or meisters, as they call them.

Well, perhaps thou shouldst try wielding me? Extend thy will and mine body will follow!

[It's... probably not the most intuitive weapon to use. Especially for someone without arms, or having seen it in action before]

[motherofthesun]

No I can't. They'll never be fortunate enough to understand what I'm thinking, but that may be for the best.

Alright. Let's find a training figure.

[She shouldn't break it this time.]

[obimycommands]

Yes!

[Given she's in weapon form now, it's up to Amaterasu to locate such a dummy. In any case, she should be able to move maneuver the obi by though, extending either end of it. Hopefully with enough visualization and willpower, otherwise it'll just kind of fall flat]

[motherofthesun]

[And there's their training dummy. Amaterasu stares at him and feels the ends of the obi rise as her adrenaline did. If the fight was going to commence, she immediately thought of fighting with Kiriha's abnormal weapon form.]

[obimycommands]

Alright - perhaps I should have demonstrated first, but let us try it! Simply consider me an extension of thy own will, and extend mine length to strike it. It will work even better if you roll up the end a bit so it hath more impact. [Given she's already manipulating the ends of the obi a bit already, Amaterasu should be able to do it]

[motherofthesun]

Ah, I was wondering how that happened.

[The sleeves flopped when she stopped thinking about it, but focused again. Each end of the obi rose again, but didn't move. She looked at both sides, deciding to practice curling the ends back and forth.]

Hmm, yes. I think I could get use to this.

[obimycommands]

Yes, concentration is key! Though as thou becomes more familiar with it, it should come more naturally.

[motherofthesun]

Oh yes of course!

[That makes all the sense and she's ecstatic about this. She gets both ends of the obi to twist around almost into fist-like shapes and sends the first side to strike the dummy.]

[obimycommands]

[It hits, though with not a lot of force or accuracy. Still way better than Kazuya's first attempts though.]

Good! Art thou getting a feel for it?

[motherofthesun]

[There's an advantage to the wielder being used to unconventional weaponry.]

Yes I am. It's almost like my rosary, but stronger. [She swings another 'punch' at the dummy, trying to will more power into it.]

[obimycommands]

Good. And this is only the basics; mine real strength lies in the weaves I can perform to imitate various weapons.

[There's a pretty satisfying smack as it hits the dummy, getting to be as good as unarmed sparring would be for someone fairly strong.]
