Too Many Striders: Black 2-A shenanigans redux

[fracturedsoul]

Characters: Dirk, closed to Black 2-A roommates (Dave, David, Daenerys) and anyone else with a reason to be there (mainly Jade and Jake, feel free to tag in if there's some reason your character would drop in though)
Format: Whatever
This log is: open to roommates
Location: Black 2-A

It's 10AM on Sunday morning, before the assembly, and if you've forgotten that Dirk Strider is a person who exists, then nobody could blame you, because he's been in the shower for the past two and a half hours.

Once Black dorm is completely out of hot water, he comes moseying back into 2-A, dressed in his Fortitude uniform with a towel wrapped around his hair. Feel free to complain, or, alternatively, to notice the shield symbol that is most definitely on the back of one hand even though the Players for the round haven't even been announced.

I... see.

[ It's not that he doesn't believe her. Jake lives on an island full of lusus troll animals, for crying out loud. But it is something new and unexpected. ]

Is there anybody else here with a living creature as a weapon?

[bloodandfire]

If there is I am not aware of it, as far as I know all other weapons are inanimate objects.

[a small challenging smile]

Does my having dragons worry you?

[fracturedsoul]

[ He widens his eyes in surprise. ]

Worry? Not at all. It's just interesting.

[bloodandfire]

Interesting? Why is that?

After assembly and we find out who is a Player I will show you if you wish.

[fracturedsoul]

You don't think being the only person with a living animal in your soul or whatever is interesting?

Okay, let's do that.

[bloodandfire]

It is a weapon that I have, just as you have your weapon, it has a significance to you. Mine is living. Perhaps it is interesting but it is normal to me.

[fracturedsoul]

I was under the impression the forms of the weapons were more or less randomized. Mine has no significance to me. But, all right.

[bloodandfire]

[she's genuinely surprised by that]

It doesn't hold any meaning to you?

[fracturedsoul]

It doesn't. I've never wielded a spear before in my life. [ ...right? There's that fuzzy feeling again. ]

[bloodandfire]

Perhaps it's a lost memory. It doesn't seem right to have a completely unrelated memory.

[fracturedsoul]

Always a possibility, but I couldn't really say. Naturally.

[bloodandfire]

We shall find out in the future.
