...So now?

[Delta's voice in the background.]

Okay. Uh, hi. This is Theta. I'm not there right now, so leave a message and I'll reply when I get it. ...Bye.

Animals can use weapons? Oh, like magical animals? Do the Guardian Forces count as animals or are they something else?

I like the sting ray one. It sounds like you fight a lot of things that you don't want to get too close to? These are... what's the word? meelee? Mel... Mellie? Something weapons, and they're quite long.

[skyward_eyes]

Well... Not weapons so much as other things you want to keep away from you. For instance there is this horse-like creature with a long, curving horn called a Mesmerize. It can THROW it's horn like a boomerang. So yeah, it's useful. And Guardian Forces are spirits, not animals.

Melee. As a polearm fighter I'm considered a long range melee fighter, but really, I'm only ever a few feet away from my targets. Maybe a whole Theta-length.

[trustandfireworks]

What's a boomerang? Sounds loud. Isn't mesmerise like... hypnosis or something? So a horse thing that hypnotises you and throws sounds? I wouldn't want that near me either.

[Giggling] Most of your weapons are probably taller then me.

[skyward_eyes]

I am literally going to the toy store to buy you one. It's a bent piece of wood that, when you throw it, comes back. And it doesn't make loud sounds. It just tries to use the metal on it's head to slice you up.

[chuckles] Not all of them. The tambo are a lot smaller, remember?

[trustandfireworks]

Really? Thanks! Oh. Oh! Boomerang arrow! I only just remembered.

Which one's the tambo again?

[skyward_eyes]

The tambo are the wooden sticks I showed you at the park.

[trustandfireworks]

Oh yeah! Yeah, I'm not that small.

And I know what boomerangs are. ...Sort of. I forgot the word until you said they come back.

[skyward_eyes]

But what I use are pretty simple, basic weapons. Not even cool, you know?

[trustandfireworks]

They're all cool!

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah, it's not as cool as a gunblade.

[trustandfireworks]

Is that a... gun with a blade on it?

[skyward_eyes]

More like... a sword with a gun in the hilt.

[trustandfireworks]

So... do you have to flip the blade to show the gun or is it below or above the blade and you can fire it whenever?

[skyward_eyes]

Oh man, I guess it's kind of hard to describe. It's... I think the blade is under the barrel a bit? I never actually held one.

[trustandfireworks]

Okay. Sounds cool anyway.

[skyward_eyes]

Gunbladers are really specialized fighters, and they're masters. You don't really stay an amateur long. But me? I just learned something strange. But I can tell you about lots of kinds of weapons."

[trustandfireworks]

Wow. Does it take a long time to become a master? It's good to know lots of things. And I like hearing about them.

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah. A really long time. My school had only two students achieve it. They had very different styles too. Their teacher had the hardest time with them.

[trustandfireworks]

Must be really tough. Did you want to do it?

[skyward_eyes]

No way. I like my weapons. I can break someone's jaw easily.

[trustandfireworks]

It's a choice then?

[skyward_eyes]

Of course. If you're going to trust your life to something, shouldn't you be comfortable with it?

Also, I tried drawing a Mesmerize for you from memory. Sorry it's not better.

[trustandfireworks]

Yeah, that's true.

Oh, cool! You drew that? It's awesome! So that horn comes off and they can throw it? Yikes!

[skyward_eyes]

It comes off about an inch and a half above their muzzle. It's kinda scary, but if you know how to handle it, you can knock it aside easily enough. The metal it's made out of is SUPER great for weapon making, though.

[trustandfireworks]

It's made of metal? Do they... Isn't it part of them? Are they robots or something?
