So we got a buncha old fashioned guys who are used to swinging around swords all the time and stuff, right? It seems like it, I can't go 20 feet without tripping over someone that's never seen a minipad before. God, would it kill that rift stuff to start taking more people from the modern era?

Anyway, point is I need one of you guys — or, hell, a buncha you guys — to start teaching. I've got some students in mind, foremost being me, because the training room here doesn't cut it if you've never even seen a fucking sword before. And if anyone else sucks at medieval stuff too lemme know, we'll make it a whole party.

Achilles and Koltira, you guys are my top medieval guys that know what you're doing, don't you fucking ignore this.

[ a beat ]

Also, I've got this little super strength issue where I might break any weapons I try and use, so... there's that, too. Still working on that obstacle. Any ideas, lemme know.


[ ooc: here's a planning post for teaching stuff!! ]

I might.

Is there something specific you wanted?

[heavyhitter]

Always. But in this case... I'm still working out the details. I guess it's hard to go wrong with a sword, right?

A little boring, but practical. Stick 'em with the pointy end.

[ says the one who uses a sword. ]

You're not really a poisons person, are you? Perhaps something that could not only stand your strength, but utilize it. Some enchantments give swords specific qualities, like cutting through iron and stone, or ones that never miss a stroke, etcetera etcetera.

[heavyhitter]

[ She is a poisons person, actually, just not publicly. It doesn't match her image. ]

Never miss a stroke, that sounds like cheating. Or I mean, there's gotta be some base level talent there, not even a magic sword could save really shitty swordspeople from fucking it up.

All's fair, love and war, yadda yadda yadda.

The point is, find what appeals to you, assume it exists and ask for it.

[heavyhitter]

Good point.

Alright, so in your expertly stylish opinion, what's my best bet for murdering in style?

Ah—well, coming from someone who's turned over a few new stones, I'm generally more resourceful. Like an Asgardian MacGyver.

But, if it's to be done, something that explodes is always the way to go. You could always ask for a sword made of Uru, stronger than anything and meant to hold enchantments. It's never a bad choice until you've found what's right for you.

[heavyhitter]

Yeah? Alright, I'm kinda into it. What's Uru? Isn't she a horse lady?

[ no that's uru...z, but points for trying right ]

...



Yes, she's the horse lady.

[ just gonna go with that. ]

[heavyhitter]

Weird-ass name for a sword-material. Hey, what came first, sword or the horse?
