Do you think you can't be forgiven?

[heymiki]

I really hope so. I'm not quite use to a place filled with war but...I think I'll manage.

[And besides, he wasn't really into the idea of having to use other people for fighting in a manner like this. Either way, he couldn't help but smile at him]

If I might be blunt, it seems like you're really proud of your partner. I wonder is that what happens when you have a partner?

[heymiki]

I heard that I'm a meister but I'm not really interested in finding a partner just yet? I'm just trying to find out what to do for everyone without fighting?

[At least, not until he figures out how to get rid of his own issues...]

[00110010_00110011]

Don't know if should be.

[this_is_keron]

Exactly. I'm a Keronian, from the planet Keron.

[this_is_keron]

Whether it is back home or here, the rank you have achieved is yours to keep.

[He believes this so much you don't even know.]

[this_is_keron]

I'm not suggesting leaving them unsupervised. [But he does feel like any help given should only happen in cases where death is a very likely outcome. Also...]

Especially if Keroro is a part of this.

[5thchild]

There is nothing you can do about your past and your sins. They exist as they are.

However, no sin is beyond redemption. There is always hope and you are provided with reparation for your sins. Do you really think death would be able to redeem you?

[huntressing]

.. How are we in agreement?

[ Sorry, Psii, Masako just sucks at seeing anything at all from another person's perspective.. ]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

It might be a good idea to start with finding out your Meister ability, then. [Not that... he sounds particularly certain of this himself. He can relate to wanting to help without fighting, though, but his position as a Weapon makes that task a little more difficult.] I'm pretty sure there area few abilities that are useful outside of fighting, but it's probably for the best to figure it out either way.

[awokentospring]

[Lee's smile remains encouraging, even if it perhaps morphs a little to add some sympathy.]

You have his lessons in your heart, so he is never really gone even when you are worlds away in this place here, yes?

Rosalia-san, you are very welcome. I enjoy helping you with your lessons, and I believe they are quite important so I want to encourage you as best as I can.

[holdmydumbbell]

[Oh my god.

Mondo gives an exasperated sigh. He had been half expecting that answer, but there's still a part of him that was hoping for a slightly more believable explanation.]

Okay, fine. So I'm talking to an alien. [Wow jeez so rude, Mondo.] What do you want?

[awokentospring]

Not everyone is used to war times, so do not feel you are alone in having troubles acclimating yourself.

[It was sad, sometimes, to see such innocent people lose that here, but... such was life for a shinobi. Lee could only try to offer some sympathy as he couldn't rightly empathize, being a trained assassin and all.]

I am very proud of having a partner! He is actually a good friend of mine from home. [Ah, but Miki wanted more details about partnership, so Lee cleared his throat and began.]

Being partners means you are a fairly comfortable pair that can resonate well together. Resonance is something that happens when the soul of a Meister and a Weapon meet. Sometimes resonance is strong and sometimes it is weak; you never really know what you will find until you attempt to resonate.

Now, if you happen to not have good resonance, a Meister will find that the Weapon feels too heavy to move or slows them down. They cannot be a fully functional working pair. However, if resonance is good, then they can together unlock abilities that make them more formidable in the war. If one achieves perfect resonance with their partner, they also may find they have more abilities still that they could not access before!

[00110010_00110011]

No, don't think that. Have already died, in own universe. Death at right time might have helped.

[But is true that this can't be changed.]

Think being brought to Death City to assist in war might be part of penance.

[5thchild]

Why do you think that?

[heymiki]

[The most that Miki could ever do was sword fighting but that was it. Sword fighting for the Rose Bride but even then, it was for competition. It wasn't a war and he was just fighting because he thought he could change the world. Of course, that wasn't really the case...]

Oh, I see! That must be really lucky for you and especially to have someone else from home!

[Not that he wanted to see Nanami here but..]

So, sometimes, you have to wonder how well you work against one another based on this resonance? How do you know if you just work well against a weapon or if it doesn't? [Pause] Or do you just have to guess and hope for the best?

[Not very promising but then again, working against a weapon that you don't know how to use was probably the same. It the same when it came to working with people turning into weapons.]

[heymiki]

[Miki just smiled back at him. He wasn't the most peaceful person around (after all, he was willing to go into sword fighting for the sake of changing the world), but he was just enough to make sure that even his enemies liked him. Although, he would be lying if he didn't have to fight at some point...]

Perhaps but it seems like I don't have much of a choice huh? [...Hm...]

[heavenly_earth]

I agree. However, in order to have a fair amount of participants, we'll need to sort out rewards for winning teams or individuals.

[heavenly_earth]

I appreciate the thoughts, but I believe a milder approach would be more suitable for the time being.

[statures]

..Oh, yeah I guess you're right. So I'm still a captain huh?

[he feels kinda good about that.]

[bloodinbloom]

Yeah... [Though, there's more than worlds apart now.]

Thanks, Lee. And... if you ever need help with something, don't hesitate to ask. I'll do whatever I can!

[00110010_00110011]

Wouldn't say was really living when was ship. Missing piece was having own agency. In anything. [He frowns thoughtfully.] It was less unbearable once carved some agency out for self, actually.

[likethelight]

[ Oh—

There's some surprise how—that was a memory, wasn't it? But not Allen's own. ]

Okay. [ 'Motion—'

Facing one of the targets, he presses his lips together and tries to feel a little less silly about punching the air; tries to focus instead on the feeling of resonance, like a bit of a gentle push, a sense of more or willing something to take form even if he doesn't really know what that is (invocate)—and throws a quick, simple punch in the direction of the target. ]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Shinji gives a very slight shrug in reply, focus dropping down to the ground momentarily.]

S-sorry, I'm a Weapon myself, so I don't know what sort of good advice to give to a Meister. [His own stint as a Meister (thanks to BREW) was awfully short lived, after all. Not long enough at all to get a feel for how things should really be done.]

[00110010_00110011]

Is more a hope than belief based on evidence. But think there must be reason why those here were chosen.
