[i] Luck steps into the bar and rubs his arms to draw attention to the cold.[/i] “[i]Someone touch the crab’s thermostat?”[/i]
English
-
[i]I sit across the table from Luck.[/i] "Hello again Luck. How are things?"
-
[i]He takes a long pull of his drink.[/i] “Fair. What’ve you been up to on the outside?”
-
[i]I wave my hand around in the air casually.[/i] "This and that. Forming The Reef."
-
“It’s busy work, I imagine. Maintenance of magical energies isn’t really something you can prepare for until you’ve done it.”
-
"Indeed. The kraken is a pain to convince to move."
-
“Were you a previously-dormant, 40-meter monster of the depths, you might not like being told to move, either.”
-
"Good point. I bet I wouldn't. How have you been?"
-
“Good. I’ve been mostly handling the Valley’s dimensional openings, lately, as well as some stuff at Cimeries.” [i]He pulls one of his daggers out of the air and balances it on one finger.[/i]
-
"What kind of stuff?" [i]I whisper, interested.[/i]
-
[i]His voice lowers.[/i] “The kinda stuff I’d have to kill someone over if they heard about it.” [i]He snickers.[/i] “No, I’m kidding, just securing some sites on a couple planets.”
-
"I see unlike Ambition, you have a sense of humor." [i]I chuckle, amused by the un-truth.[/i]
-
“Ahh, he has a sense of humor. It’s just that typically he’s the only one laughing, while you’re trying to remain alive.”
-
"Really? Who said I was trying to live? In fact, I still need to make a crystalsheath now I think of it." [i]I chuckle.[/i]
-
“From what I’ve heard, you’re control of abyssialite has come a long way. You should be capable. Only difficulty is learning the combat forms.”
-
[spoiler]You said a crystalsheath looks like a blade on one end and a spike on the other?[/spoiler] "I bet. I'm a bit used to a sword, not going to lie."
-
Editado por Sylver: 9/1/2020 7:12:39 PM[spoiler]Not quite. The bladesheath consists of a blade, the shardsheath a spike, while each arm of the crystalsheath can be both; it morphs between. That’s why you need “bladecasting,” or material control, to form and control them.[/spoiler] “Well, I like standard weapons as much as the next guy—or more so, but armsheaths have saved my hide more times then I can count.”
-
"Then if they are that valuable, then I shall learn them. I just hope Sylver's forging of Challenger's Mark isn't for nothing."
-
“Well, that’s where the fun begins. Y’see, Challenger’s Mark is made from abyssialite, and enchanted to hold the same properties. You have enough control over it to shift the sword [i]into[/i] crystalsheaths. Rarely does he add such enchantments to his weapons, but Sylver took a gamble on you.”
-
[i]My jaw drops.[/i] "Really?"
-
[i]He shrugs.[/i] "For one such as his Proficiency, it just makes sense."
-
[i]I pick my jaw up, enthralled.[/i] "What do you mean?"
-
"He's... a pretty good guesser. My fate manipulation is pretty high up there, but Sylver operates on a different scale."
-
"Wow. That's awesome actually."
-
Blaze and Fox walk over. “H-hey Luck...”
-
[i]He nods in acknowledgement.[/i] “You look a little... cold. Well, the whole place does. Broke your liquid hydrogen cooling system or something?”
