Um... I want to ask anybody who knows how to fight...

How do you pick a weapon? I mean... how do you know what suits you best? Do you try them until you figure it out, or do you let someone pick for you? And what if you-

...nevermind...


[Simon's going to be chilling out around the stairs at the entrance of community building 7, a sheathed sword tucked against his shoulder, holding an unsealed envelope and gazing at either it or the snow. He's bundled up for the cold, at least, but he doesn't seem bothered by it for once.

Every now and then he'll pull out the letter inside the envelope, read it, and cup his hands around the Core Drill at his neck, focused and intense. Nothing seems to happen though, so he'll quickly give up and go back to whatever he was doing before. As always, Boota is with him, though he's probably buried in the snow by the stairs or wandering around a bit.

Bother him?]

Well...I don't know exactly how...

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

... I don't get it. [Weapons are objects, so how can you have one when you're born?]

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

...When I try to explain it, people get really freaked or grossed out..

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Oh... you don't have to tell me then, if you don't want to. Sorry.

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

If you really wanna know I can tell you.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I... if you want. [They look so nervous about it, he's afraid to ask.]

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

...My weapon is in my blood.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Your... blood? [S-still not getting it, that's kind of vague, SOB.]

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

Well..it's in my blood, and it is my blood...the real weapon is a sword. It's all kind of confusing..

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

It sounds like it... [And he can understand why some people might be grossed out by it. He's seen too many people die to really be bothered unless he actually sees it, though, so for the moment he just sounds perplexed.]

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

Yeah...the best way to explain it is to show it, and I'm not allowed to..

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Not allowed? Why?

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

...Because I hurt [killed] a lot of people.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

Oh... that's a good reason not to show people, then. [Let's try a smile.] It's okay. I won't freak, and I'm not grossed out. Thank you for trusting me.

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

[He kinda doubts that. It freaks everybody out a little.] ...Why do you want to use a weapon anyway..?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[Well, it is pretty damn weird, he can't deny that. But that would be rude, so why make a big fuss? He rides in a giant mecha that runs on fighting spirit and a full stomach, who is he to point fingers.]

It's... well. In case I need to fight, to defend myself or the people I care about. In a place like that, it's bad to be helpless.

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

[But that is closer to the cool scale, then the creepy one.]

Why not use the magic here though?

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[True enough, but why worry about making the distinction?]

I've tried to do that a few times, and I know some of it, but... I'm not very good at it. Actually there's not much I'm good at anyway...

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

[But it is his job to worry...]

I've learned that if you're not good at something, all you need to do is keep trying.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

[That makes two of them!]

I can't really get anywhere if I give up, so I can at least do that much.

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

[First other one Crona's met!]

Weapons aren't very fun to have anyway..

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

I don't think they're supposed to be fun.

[Voice]

[my-safe-corner.livejournal.com]

I know a lot of people that would say otherwise.

[Voice]

[dawndigger.livejournal.com]

....Well... maybe they could be fun if it's just for exercise? And not hurting people...
