All right, listen up.

[Mamoru sounds...unusually irritable. Grumpy. On edge.]

So, we're definitely up against the police, maybe the military, and a bunch of crazy mutant animals. It looks pretty bad, and it's not going to go away if we just ignore it.

[He takes a deep breath, and when he speaks again, he sounds more normal.]

If anyone wanted to learn to defend themselves, well -- I can show you how. I teach a martial arts class twice a week already, so...if anyone was interested...

[He trails off, a little unsure. Maybe he's regretting making this post -- maybe he's not going to get any bites, maybe people won't want to meet in person...]

If you're not okay with meeting in person, I get it. And it's gonna take time, and practice, if you want to get any good. And maybe there's someone on this network who can teach you better than me. But they aren't offering, are they?

Think about it.

Actually yeah, now that my arms are like ten pounds heavier, it might be a good idea to learn how to actually use that to my advantage...

they're metal right? you could do some serious damage with that if you tried

Yeah, mostly. There's some silicon compounds and some other weird material I haven't really been able to identify inside the outer casing, but the casing itself and the underlying scaffold is metal for sure.

[too... much info? whatever]

While the guns aren't working 'cause I don't have a power source, I can also still open them up if I'm careful, which would probably also mess someone up if I hit them with the sharper edges.

crazy.

[He kind of wants to take a look at them, not gonna lie. He's curious.]

you don't have any problems moving them around, do you? I mean does it put a lot of strain on your shoulders?

It still hurts a lot but they're pretty well anchored. I'm building up more muscle around there, that's for sure.

you sure you don't want to wait until your body's used to them?

I don't have time for that shit, this is war.

Also, I've found using them helps.
