CLOSED; weapons training

[mutab1e]

Characters: Zack and AUquius
Setting: Floor Fifteen
Format: Starting with actionspam, but I'll switch off.
Summary: ZACK FAIR got a SWORD!
Warning: None.



[Anyone who set foot in the workshop floor for the past few days would have almost certainly found Equius derping around, doing... um, something in there. There was a bit with a pointy metal shell that looked like a sword of some kind, but that was silly; anyone with eyes could see that he would have no use for it, frail and scrawny as he was. Unfortunately, everyone with eyes was wrong; it was a sword. Just not one for him.]

[On the third day, he finally stopped working for a while. Before now the only pauses had been to eat and sleep; unusual for him, yes, but the prospect of something to do was enough to make him throw himself at it with unusual vigor. He knew by now that the fourth floor up from here was a library with a row of terminals, so he skittered quickly up there and filtered something to Zack requesting his presence. He didn't particularly want to leave such a thing alone by itself in the other room. It wasn't as if the mechanical sword would just up and leave on its own, of course, but there seemed plenty of people well-equipped to carry it off from under his nose, and then he'd really be in trouble.]

[Most trolls and most people; Zack's logic baffles everyone he meets no matter what he says, even if they agree with it on some level.]

Nothing worthwhile's ever easy, man. You gotta work for stuff if you really want it.

[windykind]

That's true, I suppose. But there are some things that just... can't be done. Or shouldn't be.

[pauldrons]

And how can you tell if something's one of those things? I mean, sure, you shouldn't take a bullet for no reason, but if someone's gonna shoot your friend or something, don't you think it's right to try and save him?

flasdf sorry about that, Internet spazzed

[mutab1e]

That depends on who's shooting. [Politically correct answers for the win.]

no worries, no worries~ things happen. :3

[pauldrons]

Well, yeah, sure, but he's still your friend. You wouldn't just let him get shot, would you? [Politically correct things and Zack are a bad idea. He'd tear down the world to save a friend.]
