seeking weapons @ fortitude forums

[koyo]

Hola,

I'm a Player this round and I'm looking for weapons. If you become my weapon I promise:

* All of your rights
* Three meals a day
* Hugs and kisses everyday

If you're interested, come find me at the Battle Arena. I'm heading there right now.




By the way, my name is Antonio.

[ Here is Dahlia, arriving at the battle arena several minutes later, looking all shy and demure. ]

Er... Mr. Antonio?

[koyo]

( Spain smiles and turns to see who it is, )

Sí, that's me.

[traces]

[ She nods politely. ] M-my name is Dahlia. I would be very honored if you would do me the favor of accepting me as your Weapon.

[koyo]

Dahlia. Haha, and it's good to meet you too. ( Another girl, and a young one too. . . This school really should have an age limit. ) Are you positive? I don't want you to do anything you aren't ready for.

[traces]

I... I don't like the idea of having to fight. But if I can be of any help to everyone else...

[koyo]

It looks like we have to fight thought so let's help each other out.

( He holds out his hand to Dahlia, )

If you're sure, I'll make the vow. But if you change your mind later, let me know, okay?

[traces]

[ She reaches out with her hand, pauses shyly, and then pushes forward and takes Antonio's hand after all, as though she's forcing herself to be brave despite being afraid. But the look she wears on her face is one of uncertainty. ]

Y-yes, of course. You're far too kind, Mr. Antonio. Thank you so much.

[koyo]

( He closes his hand around her's, bows, )

I, Antonio, vow to protect you, Dahlia.

( And he kisses the back of her hand. )

[traces]

[ She blushes slightly. Because he's such a nice guy!

Ugh, so over the top. Is it really necessary? ]

I accept your vow. I'll do my best as your Weapon.

[koyo]

( Yes, it was completely necessary. He steps back and let's her hand go, obviously oblivious to how he might have made her feel. )

Did it work? You should have a mark now. . .

[traces]

[ She glances down at her hand... A shield has appeared there. She smiles. ] Yes, it's here! My, the Exaclan technology is very impressive, isn't it?

[koyo]

I'm not sure how it works but it is impressive.

Hey, do you know what your weapon is, Dahlia?

[traces]

Ah... I believe it's a dagger. I'm not sure why, but I know that...

I purchased an upgrade for it yesterday, but I'm not sure what it does. [ She lifts her right hand to show him the ring on her third finger, with the faded teardrop symbol upon it. ]

[koyo]

( A dagger. Short and perhaps not the strongest weapon but easy to use and still effective. He can work with that. He leans closer to see the ring. )

If it's an upgrade it must be a good thing though, right? I'll have to read that book. . . ( Some day. Eventually. Tomorrow. ) Can I see your weapon?

[traces]

Yes, I think so.

Ah... A-all right. If you'd like to...

[koyo]

( Approaching her, trying not to seem intimidating. Because you know, drawing weapons from people's chests is only slightly awkward and not exactly normal. )

It shouldn't hurt but if it does, let me know, okay? ( And he places a hand to her chest to draw the weapon. )

[traces]

[ She winces and squeezes her eyes shut as the dagger appears from her chest. It doesn't hurt, but it does feel a little odd... ]

It--it feels weird...

[koyo]

( Spain feels odd and he isn't even the one having a knife pulled out of him. Once it's drawn, he holds it and turns it over in his hands, )

I'm sorry. How do you feel now? You don't need to rest now or anything, do you. . .

[traces]

[ She puts one hand to her chest and clenches her uniform top, looking down at the weapon in his hands. ]

N-no, it doesn't hurt or anything... It feels all right now.

[koyo]

That's good. . . Ah, I can't imagine it feeling normal at all. ( With his finger nail, he gives the blade a light tap. ) It's a pretty dagger, don't you think?

[traces]

Ack! [ She winces. Why does it hurt when he does that? Not too badly, but her Durability is low... ] Um... Y-yes! It's... The design is very beautiful...

[koyo]

( This might be a problem. He doesn't notice at all at first, too busy checking out the knife. He does, however, catch onto the change in tone, )

Is something wrong?

[traces]

It's just... I-I could feel it, Mr. Antonio. Wh-when you tapped the weapon with your finger.

[koyo]

. . . Really? ( Looking at Dahlia. And then the knife. Then Dahlia. Then back. And again. ) . . . How did it feel?

[traces]

...It... it hurt, just a little.
