So I think we have punching pretty well taken care of, but does anyone have advice on how to buy a decent sword?


Asides from just like, go to the market and find one.

get someone to transmute one for you
you any good with a sword?

[transfusionem]

Your dorm sounds like where all the action happens.

Nothing that crazy has happened in Aube - that I've seen, at least.

[transfusionem]

Seems like something that might come in handy.

[She will keep this lie up until she dies. Again.]

I don't think the teacher I like most would offer combat classes...

[transfusionem]

That sounds like a very good way to make sure I don't survive Nightfall.

[transfusionem]

Gotcha.

How many of those stories end with someone being super embarrassed and humiliated?

[transfusionem]

I'm not sure I've got enough time to do that.

[She knows her limits!]

Both. Usually complicated isn't too bad and having different views is usually good, but here it's all just bad all the way down.

Or, well, that's how it seems, what with the world ending and all that.

[transfusionem]

What, like alchemy?

And I'm trying to be. I'm probably quite a ways from being really good.

[deuteranope]

far as I know all your freaks go out to cause trouble or find it. our freaks the fucking trouble is always with them

[heromedal]

It's not that time consuming.

[ Rex has no limits! *charging up noise* ]

No, that's basically correct.

[ That's not quite Rex level hopelessness but she's just a beginner. Get some practice, miss some sleep. ]

Everyone always seems to forget we're all going to die if we don't do this right. It's quite distressing.

[transfusionem]

Yeah, I'd say being a trouble magnet sounds more like me. Guess that's why I got shuffled off to Aube in the first place.

At least it keeps things interesting!

[transfusionem]

Maybe for you, but I'm just me.

[Rex should get some limits before he keels over.]

Thinking about it is exhausting, and besides - it's not all set in stone yet. I'd rather think about the chance things might go okay.

[But maybe she's an idiot, she almost says. But nope, not going to dunk on herself. This time.]

[deuteranope]

because at a school where you learn magic and how to fight and there's a bunch of weird shit, we sure as fuck need to keep things interesting huh

[transfusionem]

Yes! We need to out weird this entire situation on our own.

[deuteranope]

that kinda attitude, you're well on your way

[transfusionem]

I'll take that as a compliment!

[heromedal]

I'm sure you're more capable than you give yourself credit for. Most people are.

[ Except him. Obviously.^* ]

They'll be okay if we make them so and not under any other circumstance.

[ And by 'we' he means 'I, personally' of course.^* ]

*Just gonna refer you to his profile page here.

[transfusionem]

Maybe, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be some sort of badass super soldier.

[She's going to need some time to get any confidence at all back.]

I mean, yeah, but that doesn't mean we'll fail.

[She 100% means we. Teamwork makes the dream work, baby.]

[heromedal]

A reasonable position, but I'm certain you'll make positive contribution. And anything that is not negative is a plus.

[ That's a fucking pun, dude. ]

No, I'm sure we all all do our best. But it doesn't mean we'll succeed either.

[marmoron]

yep. alt's transmuted swords before
what made you decide to go with a sword as a beginner weapon though?

[ohgoodgrief]

Bad deals with art dealers are literally how my life has been on the course it has been since age seventeen.

...which come to think, I have a pretty good life, so maybe roll the dice?

[YANG]

[eudaimonikos]

Depends how good at bargaining you are. And who you ask.

[transfusionem]

I'm not going to say you're right, but I can't argue with that.

[She can't even be mad because she fucking loves puns.]

I think it means we'll be more likely to succeed than if we didn't try at all.

[heromedal]

Unless we do a terrible job of it.

[ Eeyoring intesifies. ]

[deuteranope]

would have been a fucking disappointment if you you didn't

[transfusionem]

Huh. Sounds pretty cool.

There are fake swords in the training grounds. I picked one up to practice and kind of liked it, plus it's not like we've got the luxury of time on our side.
