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?]

Tell you what, kid, in my experience, you pick up whatever weapon is handy and if the other guy manages to not kill with what he's holding, you've got a winner.

Train in different styles with different weapons. Use the most comfortable one. [He would know.]

The safe bet for anyone looking to fight and to start out?

Your own bare hands.

A weapon should be one that you are comfortable wielding, and that suits whatever you aim to fight. Of course, one should never take a weapon lightly.

[Hi Simon, guess who's passing by today? Anise is still on Tokunaga, looking for Ion, but she decides to take a break and pass by Simon's place for now.]

Simon? What're you doing out in the cold?

Fight? [A weapon?] You shouldn't fight! Rem says violence should never be the answer! She says it's better to talk it out!

The weapon chooses you. [A little bit Zen philosophy, a little bit lived experience.]

I started using toy swords when I was a kid, so that gave me a bit of an edge. Guess what you could do is find someone to teach you, maybe experiment and see what works best.

I chose a jitte because it's an added advantage against swords and it's easier to incapacitate someone with it without killing or severely injuring them.

[ ...hm. What's the sound?

That THUD THUD THUD THUD sound?

Maybe...someone running down the stairs further inside? Running, jumping, hitting the floor with a great bit SPLAT before popping up again. Then it's THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD-- ] SIMON!

[ LOOK OUT SIMON HE'S GOT A SWORD AND IT'S COMING TOWARD YOUR HEAD. ]

[... Sometimes Sigmund honestly forgets that other people have trouble demanding asking for what they want as easily as he does.

Oops?]

If there is something else you would rather try... [Well, he'd have preferred Simon as him and not... everyone else in the village; but Simon would probably break under even a half-hearted scolding. He's a good kid. He'll let it slide.]

I didn't really pick mine on purpose... I just took a sword because everyone else uses one, so I thought it would be the most useful kind of weapon to have.
