Saaaay, I know I've been pretty quiet lately but with all the garbage between the doppelgangers and everything I kinda needed a break, you know? Anyway, has anyone seen a sword wandering around?

Y'know, big, metal, sharp, has skulls on the handle?

[He holds up a rough sketch of this for the camera.]

Darn thing just up and left, who would've thought? And I already checked the refrigerator so don't even ask. Apparently that's where we're keeping swords these days.

[He puts on a slightly disapproving frown, but at this point it's fruitless to argue it.]

Eh... you know I can't say that I've tried? How would you even do something like that?

Well, I do it like this.

[He holds out an outstretched hand.]

Come, Feather Edge!

[And a sword actually zooms right into his hand.]

I just call it, really.

Oh, huh. That's really cool.

[Okay he feels kind of stupid trying this but... hell what can it hurt? He mimics Torin's gesture, tries to think really hard about it and...]

Rebellion?

[Nope, no dice, but there is a bit of a strange tug. Is it actually possible?]

Range could be an issue maybe?

[He shrugs.]

Perhaps.

[He strokes his mustache.]

Or perhaps yours might not listen as well as mine.

[A rueful snort.]

Well, it is named Rebellion.

[And they're fighting a battle of wills that probably isn't helping.]

[Torin chuckles.]

That would make sense.

Does the sword have any peculiarities that could have led to its vanishing like this? Or do you know of anyone who might have taken it without telling you?

Who knows. I'm not exactly a demon sword expert.

[Oops did he say that out loud. Tony you really gotta work on that filter son.]

The only other person I can think of is my doppelganger, which might put us in a bit of trouble if that's the case. Guy's not exactly the friendly type.

Demon sword?

[That gets a noticeable twitch and ruffling of feathers out of Torin. His other self once went by the title of Demon Sword Priest, even if he wasn't at all proud of it...]

Can you tell me more of this sword? I'm not quite sure if I would be able to help, but I may know something.

I know the feeling of being concerned about your doppelganger; mine isn't friendly either.

[Oh? Uh oh, not sure if that was a good thing to mention. Really, Tony, shut up. Maybe he just didn't care if people knew anymore, they'd dump holy water on him either way.]

Not much to tell, woke up one day part of an echo. Been creepin' me out and whispering ever since.

Mine attacked L, left him to die in a closet, still no idea why.

Whispering...

[He's stroking his mustache thoughtfully.]

I"m not familiar with that happening, but I don't remember a whole lot of demon sword things...

[And a firm nod.]

It's likely your doppelganger runs with a very similar mindset to mine--and mine will call himself a Demon Sword Priest.

Hmm...

[A dead end. Ah well, he wasn't expecting much.]

Well if you remember anything helpful, let me know?

[Not that he doesn't appreciate the attempt!]

Great. So we've got two assholes on the loose causing trouble. As if things weren't complicated enough.
