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?]

You'd be surprised. Though most weapons will teach you about fundamentals of attack and defense and stances and the like, knowing how to fight without a weapon makes you far more dangerous in many situations. For one simple reason.

You're always armed and dangerous. No matter what.

That makes a lot of sense, but... you can't make yourself bigger or stronger faster than you can learn how to use a weapon.

Heh. You haven't seen training where I'm from, kid. But you'd be surprised. And getting bigger and stronger is part of the process. And unarmed combat isn't always about raw strength. Dexterity and agility matter too. Do you have that on your side, at least?

Well... I don't know. I guess I can move fast when I have a good reason for it, so that would help...
