...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.

[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?

[skyward_eyes]

Yeah, of course it is. Class-M creatures...

Right, you don't have them. Yeah, Theta. Class-M creatures on my planet are, in a way, derived from corrupted magic. And so they aren't always entirely biological.

[trustandfireworks]

So... does that mean someone makes them? Does M stand for magic?

[skyward_eyes]

M stands more for Monster, which is what we normally call them. Monsters. But they aren't made. They've been around for a very, very long time. As long as humanity can remember. It's said they are derived from the body of Hyne himself.

[trustandfireworks]

Oh, okay. And Hyne is the scary thing I can't hear about until there's hot chocolate and blankets?
