SCHEMES CONTINUE

[iamverybadass]

Who: Everyone
Where: Individual unit dorms
When: During Day 116

[ At some point during the day, Talon has visited each unit to deliver the preliminary assignments for the protection plan. Maybe he knocked on a unit's door, maybe he slipped a note into someone's pocket, maybe he used morse code! However it was delivered, units have their preliminary assignments and may use this post to discuss them amongst themselves. ]



[ OOC: Per request, an IC post for units to have any IC discussion they may want. 100% optional! Also: if you would like a thread with Talon for any reason, please ping me either on discord or plurk and I will hop in after work, but otherwise this is just for unit discussion among themselves.

Please use the unit top levels to keep things organized, thank you! ♥

EDIT FOR CLARITY:

• For convenience sake, please assume all units know who they are assigned to protect, and who has been assigned to protect them


• Units do not have access to the complete list yet. Talon would have explained that this is because it may still be adjusted if there are any objections at this stage, if asked.


• Talon is present in WC's thread and I am 100% open to getting tagged there if anyone wants a thread with him and doesn't wanna ping for whatever reason. ]

It's Ken! Hey!! Look what I got!!

[ totally ignoring the awkward atmosphere

he has two sord

also we're going to say this is before he sets nero off this time ]

[emptymind]

Ah, you bought swords.

[composeur]

I bought swords! -- here!!

[ just TOSSES THE KATANA UP IN THE AIR to see if she catches it that's his favorite new game now ]

[emptymind]

[ catches it !! ]

Eh? Is this for me?

[composeur]

That's right! You said you didn't feel whole without something in your hand, so I thought you could try it out!

[emptymind]

Ah— thank you very much...

[ holds it out in front of herself and smoothly unsheathes it ]

[composeur]

[ ... he takes a step back and lets her just hold it and stuff for a bit. for the record it's the larger one of this pair. ]

So? How does it feel?

[emptymind]

[ turns it to admire the wave pattern of the pounded metal in the light before she shifts her left foot back in a kendo stance and gives it a slow downward test slice ]

It’s beautiful.

[composeur]

.... oh! [ perks, tail swiping back and forth ] That's kendo isn't it? Nice, nice, it looks like you really do know what you're doing! I knew a guy once who did kendo, he carried a sword around everywhere he went! I don't remember his name though.

I don't know all that much about swords, to be honest! Well at least I know where the sharp end goes! Wahaha! But I'm glad you like it~ you should name it! Real samurai name their swords, right?

[emptymind]

Eh? Would a sword not be named by the swordsmith?

[composeur]

Probably, but I don't know what their names are! It's fine though isn't it? I think that sword would be much happier if you were to name it!

[emptymind]

Y- yes! I will think it over very carefully! Thank you, senpai!

[composeur]

-- senpai? [ did she call him senpai to his face before now

it doesn't matter anyways since he wouldn't remember probably ]

... wahaha, I guess that's right! I'm your senpai huh? Good, good! Good girl, but don't worry about it too much! Usually whatever name first comes to your mind is best! Something like, "The Bird Cutting Silently Through The Night Air To Take Off The Heads Of Its Enemies"!!

[emptymind]

[ this is definitely the first time she called him senpai ]

Then, should I name it The Bird Cutting Silently Through The Night Air To Take Off The Heads Of Its Enemies?

[composeur]

[ oh. you're like that. ]

If you think it's cool, yeah! But isn't it cooler to come up with your own name? Go on and try it!

[emptymind]

[ stares down at it in silence, studying the way the blade catches the light as she slowly turns it in the air ]

Hatching Egg.

[composeur]

Oh? That's funny! Is it because it's like a rebirth?

[emptymind]

Yes, that's right. Because birth and death are alike in helplessness.
