In the Land of Snow and Swords - A Knight in Training
Characters: Monkey D. Luffy [O.U.], forhylia[O.U.], and you!
Setting: Floor 73, but may or may not move to other floors.
Time: After the masquerade and the rumor event.
Format: Prose to start, I will gladly match.
Summary: Luffy has finally found himself a sword, shield, and suit of armor among the ruins of the pyramid and castle. Now contacting Link, he's trying to better himself with a sword in hopes of becoming a knight (like in the books he looked at as a child).
Warnings: Stupidity (on Luffy's part)
[It had taken him a few days to scrounge up the desired items, and he'd gone through a few fights in order to leave with them. Luffy had finally managed to supply himself with what he felt would be sturdy and reliable enough for his training. Having no real grasp on temperature, Luffy had traveled his way down to the snow-covered floor on the seventy-third room, dropping all of his supplies before looking about for a network communicator. Once found, he anxiously barks into the device with a child-like, enthusiastic call.]
"HEY! LINK! LINK, LINK, LINK! I finally found some stuff that I can use if you're able to meet me! It's snowing here, so if you know where there's snow, go there! I'll be here waiting! I think it's floor.. Umm.. Seventy somethin'. Maybe three? Maybe four? I can't remember! I've been busy swinging this stuff around! I'm sooooo excited to try and start learning! Get here quick, okay?"

No worries! You're totally fine!
[He lets his arms drop, as if the very bones in them had disappeared. He watches as he tries to make the appendages jiggle and shake like an ocotopus, swinging the sword in his hand around wildly.]
This.. Doesn't seem.. Right..
no subject
Well... The first thing you ought to do is keep your arms firm. A sword is not a toy, and it is not to be swung so wildly.
[The boy is admittedly starting to make Link a wee bit nervous.]
I must admit that I am not sure how I could teach you too take a fuller advantage of your... unique abilities when using a blade, but I am certain you have a better idea of how they work than I.
no subject
[His arms shrink back once more, holding the blade in a steady grip with both hands as he looks towards his mentor.]
I guess once I learn how to use a sword properly, then I can figure it out. That'd be smarter, right?
no subject
That is what makes the most sense to me. Once you have learned how to safely manage a sword you can start incorporating your abilities.
[He offers Luffy a smile.]
They could prove to be a deadly combination, used with proper control and precision. [Deadly to the right people. Not for his poor instructor who is still trying to figure out how in the name of Hylia he can stretch his limbs in such a way.]
