[ Marina's sitting on her bed, laptop on her crossed legs, making the video a little wobbly. The wall behind her has some popular band poster or another - she rotates the spot above her bed fairly often - and she looks relaxed. More than she usually does when Numbers stuff is involved, at least.

She drums her fingers on the laptop. ]

Anyone here have a sword?

[ Very serious about this. ]

Other me had a sword, and Anais has a sword here, and other her had a sword back there. I figure I can get an echopulsething if I like, grab a real sword? Or learn how to use it? I'm not just crazy thinking that, right?

[ Actually looking for Echoes is new for her too. ]

So, I guess what I'm saying is, if anyone would like to help? Um, promise I won't, like, get myself hurt either, okay? Thanks. You're great.

At least you guys with swords.

My uncle makes prop swords for that look real enough for people who participate in ren faires and things like that. Maybe you could try that?

If the real swords, fencing swords, and whatever anyone else is offering me don't work, I'll go for it.

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Yeah, just offering you a second option if things don't work out. I'm Fil, nice to meet you.

[dragon_blossom]

Marina. Nice to meet you too Fil...

Now that I think about it, my past self apparently lived in some sort of fantasy RPG-like world. Swords might have been a thing then too.

So let's all stock up on weapons and see what we get back by touching them.

voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Not just swords...there's all sorts of medieval weapons that used to be used, right? Or we see them in video games. Spears, daggers, hammers, staffs, bows...

voice

[dragon_blossom]

Axes and... all of that shit, yeah! Just...

Maybe not wave them around, but something.

voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

I wonder if acting out a mock battle with weapons will be enough or do we really have to have a go at someone or something with a weapon to get something back.

voice

[dragon_blossom]

See, now, that's... what I'm not sure of, honestly? But I'll find out.

voice

[moreweaponsthanyou]

Let me know? My Uncle's got a prop sword or two around...I can try it out as well and see.

voice

[dragon_blossom]

Hell yeah. I feel like a trendsetter right now.
