So... I didn't really want to use the network for this, but didn't know where else to ask.

[Anyone who has ever spoken to him before will notice he sounds considerably more British.]

Is there anywhere to get a sword? I suppose either a place in the city or online would work. Both are equally suspicious, since swords are so relevant in this day and age.

[Because clearly getting a gun would be far too reasonable.]

let's make a short list of all the people who don't need a fucking sword:
1) you

that's all.
that's it.
it's only you.

No, no I don't. I don't even think if I got one, I could legally carry it. Nevermind it'd draw too much attention.

But if I have to put up with these pulses, I should be able to make use out of the not completely worthless ones.

Claim ren fair

[ faire, actually, but alex isn't familiar enough with the activity to know its correct spelling. ]

[shambles]

I hadn't thought of that. Generally try to avoid that sort of thing.

[Let's just ignore the couple of sci-fi conventions he went to in high school, ok?]

Although I guess it'd be relying on one weekend, it's definitely worth looking into.

Did you check Amazon and Ebay? Pretty sure you can probably get them there.

It's not like people don't buy weird shit all the time.

I did. Most of what I found was plastic, collectibles, or antiques. With the swords that aren't plastic, it's difficult to tell what could actually be used.

And that's true, but I'd rather not draw direct attention to my house if I can help it.

It seems pretty easy to find swords for sale online.

The real question is if you can actually use them. Most I see look like they're for show.

[Not that...he's an expert on them, but Roy's having the same dilemma with his magically acquired sword skills.]

[shambles]

Yes, so I've found out. Most of the swords that were initially intended for use are antiques from WWII or the 1800s or something.

I know others have gotten swords from pulses before, but I'd rather not have to rely on that only maybe happening.

Of course! Why hadn't I thought of that. How foolish of me.

Thank you for your invaluable assistance.

I have a collection at home, from broadswords to fencing sabers. Decorative or functional, too. I'd be willing to lend you some, and I can teach you to use it, too. Well, if you're interested in traditional European sport fencing, at any rate.

text;

[shambles]

Really? I was looking for something functional, but I can't say I've had much luck yet. I would appreciate that. At least until I am able to find my own.

... The teaching would be appreciated as well, come to think of it. I don't know if I'd like to rely solely on some pulse.

Maybe if you're lucky you'll learn how to pull them out of thin air.

[ Moody, sarcastic responses are always the best responses, right? Definitely. ]

[shambles]

[Oh yes of course.]

While that sounds absolutely thrilling, if not incredibly convenient, I'd rather not rely solely on luck.

Why do you need a sword?

[Super sketchy.]

[shambles]

Because it is my god-given right as an American.




No, that's not right. That'd be guns. Just self-defense, then.

[depolarized]

...Maya has a collection; she probably wouldn't mind lending it out if it's just practice. [What with her fencing lessons and all...]

[shambles]

Yes, she mentioned that earlier. And frankly at this point, I'm not entirely sure what else I'd do besides practice.

[Yeah he can say it'd be for self-defense but he knows it'd draw too much attention. What I mean really, kind of weirdo carries around a sword?]

[these_orcs_must]

Seems like a gun might be easier. Isn't that why they stopped using swords?

[shambles]

Well yes... But it also seems pointless to let perfectly good swordsmanship go to waste.

[iustitia]

What, like a real one?

[shambles]

A functional one? Yes.

[summit]

My friend uses this website. But I don't know how reliable they are.

[shambles]

Do they use it for cosplay then?

You have my thanks regardless.
