WHO: Sword Sufferers Anonymous
WHERE: Public Library/Hollingberry Field
WHEN: Friday
WHAT: A bunch of people are turning into swords and it's a wild time. Info-sharing session for swords and/or a place for other people regaining swords to stop by and wonder If They're Next™.
WARNINGS: None; will update if needed!

[SO HERE IT IS. The dust has settled from the insanity of the last month (somewhat), and life goes on in Recolle. Mostly.

Maybe you've heard about it through word of mouth - that some other people are having some weird troubles with their regained weapons. Swords in particular. Maybe you've caught wind of a few familiar terms like "Retrograding Army" and you're curious to learn more, or maybe you've just caught a bad case of Sakura Fubuki-itis and you want to know what to do next. In any case, there are two meetings going on today. One at the library - a perfect place to pour through those history textbooks and look up a little more about all those ye olde historical names and terms coming to mind lately!

The other is in the park, since it's a better place for open discussion without having to worry about getting hushed by a frazzled librarian. This is also the place to pick up any sword care items you could need, since Kashuu's brought a metric asston along with him! Good work, team.]

(Feel free to use this to mingle as you see fit! If you need a reason for your character to show, we can handwave a direct or misfired text from Kashuu. Anyone meandering by who'd have reason to poke their heads in is free to, since these are both taking place in public locations!)

[ perhaps he's grown more used to the sword-touch mechanic by now than a month ago, as he finds himself needing to concentrate less than usual. his vocabulary is still shaky when it comes to describing sword parts, but he replies almost instantly — that should be enough. ]

Three fingers — around the, what do you call it... the hilt of the sword, right?

[toobigtohandle]

... Yes.

[Well, that is really weird. Kenta slowly removes his fingers and rubs his hands together. It feels like he may have done something a little forbidden even though Rindou invited him to do it.]

That must really feel... strange.

[surprising]

[ why is it forbidden... but he turns back around and resheaths his sword at his side. ]

Trust me — the first time Kiyomitsu showed me this trick, I was really surprised! You get used to it after a while, though.

[ whether getting used to the sword-touch mechanic is a good thing or not is... debatable. ]

But if something like this comes up, then I'd say that the probability of you being a sword really shoots up, you know?

[toobigtohandle]

[Because it's like he touched your naked body or something it's just weird okay.]

I'll... keep an eye out for it, then.

[He doesn't sound too enthused by that. The one saving grace about that thing is that it allows Jirou to make penis jokes all the time and it's making him happy that his boyfriend is finding some silly humor in it.]

[surprising]

[ ...DON'T THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY??? goodbye, this trick is now forever cancelled. ]

Mhm! On the bright side, there are also more convenient things, like speedy recovering from injuries.

[ which would've helped last month, actually... ]

[toobigtohandle]

... I don't think Jirou has that. Or I.

[THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN BLOODY CONVENIENT WHEN JIROU GOT AN ACID BURN, RETROSPEC.]

I suppose we also could have different... abilities. Since the swords look different and even we don't look identical, after all.
