[the_great_hero]

Uh... they look the same to me. [He's starting to feel more comfortable with her and so he swings her off to the side like he might flick his violin bow out when he flourishes it.]

I never really looked close.

[morecowbell]

[The movement this time was more graceful, she could tell that was something he did on a normal basis.]

Takuto is one of my usual Meisters, he's also a dual wielder used to identical swords. I myself sometimes us a dagger in tandem with a sword.

[the_great_hero]

[Excuse him while he pretends to be a ninja.]

Yeah? Well, I prefer my music but I'll have to make due I guess.

[morecowbell]

[She refrains from asking him what the heck he's doing with her.]

Um... do you have any combat experience?

[the_great_hero]

[That's probably good it would only cause strife]

Uh duh, I just said so didn't I?

[morecowbell]

Uh... no, you didn't.

[She returns his snarky tone because music isn't a weapon and do you even brawl bro?]

[the_great_hero]

Yeah I did. You missing ears on this thing? [He turns the sword in his hand examining it more closely.]

Magical music. That's my usual weapon but I have good aim and shit too. And if things get physical I can really do some damage. But the music is kinda my schtick.

[morecowbell]

[No, the sword does not have ears... She's kind of at a loss for this guy everything about him is just plain weird.]

How does one use magical music as a weapon?

[the_great_hero]

Well when it works, [He swings her a little more, and then tries one of Trom's moves and nearly falls over] when it works I can make people stronger or braver, and I can make people do things. Usually I either make Flute beat the bad guys up or make the bad guys commit suicide or whatever. If they're real assholes they get to be the entertainment.

[morecowbell]

[In a way making this flute beat the bad guys just sounded like Flute was a Weapon but..]

Suicide? You do that with music somehow?

[That sounded pretty convenient... but did that mean his 'music' made people commit homicide or suicide? Could music be that bad?]

[the_great_hero]

Yeah, some magical music imparts the emotions intended by the composers. So I play something like Pathétique by Tchaikovsky and demons start hanging ropes and shit, apologizing for their sins, there's a lot of crying and snot involved. And let me tell you, they're already nasty to start with.

[Flute is so very much his weapon. And his plaything.]

[morecowbell]

[Oh god, snot? That was something she hadn't been covered in yet while on a mission. There had been snow, slobber, mud and blood, surely if she went on a mission with this giant violin toting guy she was going to come back covered in monster snot! If she had been in human form it would have brought tears to her eyes.]


You can't use magic music here, right?

[the_great_hero]

[He can feel that disgust rolling off of her and he agrees. Demons are ugly bastards in all kinds of ways.]

No dammit all. How's a guy supposed to go being a hero when they take your skills away? I can't even make people dance anymore! What the fuck is up with that?

[Have an angry slice that was almost a throw before he remembers she might not work with him if he goes chucking her around before he can convince her to take a mission.]

[morecowbell]

That's something I never quite understood about BREW. Of course It's also brought over some pretty dangerous characters so I'm glad they got toned down.

[Was he just going to toss her?]

I'm going to change back so just hold me over your shoulder.

[the_great_hero]

If it doesn't want dangerous people it shouldn't bring em.

Wait, we're done already?

[He huffs a sigh because really how's he supposed to practice with a sword anyway? Find a pole and hack at it?] Fine [wait, why does she want him to hold her like....] oh you gotta be kidding me.

[Have an annoyed eye roll. And he carelessly swings her over a shoulder.]

[morecowbell]

Take it up with BREW. Maybe screaming at it for a while will make you feel better.

[Nanami steps back onto the ground in human form, tossing a lock of hair over her shoulder]

I did what I said I would. Our resonation is mediocre at best right now and you need to learn how to use a sword. Even if you don't use me, there are a lot of Weapons around who are swords so there's a good chance you'll be using one at some point. I can show you a couple of pointers but it'd be best to stop by the Weapons Handling Training area where they have two very competent swordsmanship teachers.

[the_great_hero]

[There's some mumbling and swearing about not even wanting to use a goddamn sword before he humphs and crosses his arms.] That kind of thing takes years to learn.

[morecowbell]

If you don't want a sword, then I won't waste my time.

[the_great_hero]

I never said that! When did I say that? You better waste your time lady!

[morecowbell]

Oh for crying out loud, just learn the basics, I can do the rest!

[the_great_hero]

Don't get all bitchy about it just cause I'm not an expert at you!

[morecowbell]

I'm not getting bitchy! [yeah right] I just expect you to put in a some effort if you're going to wield me! I don't want to be swung around all willy-nilly, I would like to actually survive any missions we might go on!

[the_great_hero]

Oh yeah? What effort do you gotta put in, sweetheart? You just get to sit there all swordy and shit. Whatever. Fine.

[morecowbell]

I...it's harder than it looks. You try turning into a weapon and staying that way while people stab you inside of gross things!

[the_great_hero]

You want to change back while they stab you inside gross things?
