[ look jiji cloud is wearing a giant sword on his back, talk to him about sword spirits so he can be tired. anyway, they are somehow both out here in the hallway of numerous mysterious doors for Reasons, and cloud is thinking of opening door #4 according to the RNG. What WILL happen next. ]
Hey. You looking into these, too?
[ jiji can just be wandering around cloud is just trying to be personable for five minutes only to later regret it immediately ]
[ the buster sword does not nod, but it radiates honor somehow. (No.) cloud looks behind him to see who else Jiji is nodding to and goes ??? when it's no one, because he is a bad sword owner. ]
Yeah. Not like there's a ton else to do right now but look around either.
So... a sword spirit... given flesh? [ he's catching on. maybe. from context. ] And that's... you?
[ he is looking at the sword and wondering if he should be... talking to the sword? is it puppeteering the human body? oh he hates thinking about this now. ]
On the contrary, some swords are thought to be bringers of great fortune.
[ . . . ]
I do not know why. The reasoning for each group of people gathered is different, after all. It would be nice, if one could easily say that we are simply magnets for such adventures....

no subject
Indeed, indeed. They certainly inspire a level of curiosity, don't they?
no subject
Yeah. Not like there's a ton else to do right now but look around either.
no subject
mikazuki nods at that]
You and I are in agreement - I would be happy to accompany you, if you so desire.
... though I might also pose a question. Does your sword happen to possess a name?
no subject
Uh... yeah. It's the Buster Sword. [ he looks back at jiji ] Why?
no subject
Ha ha ha... I know not if your sword possesses a spirit, but in the chance it does, it would feel wrong not to provide greeting to a comrade.
no subject
[ a) not that kind of spirit b) it kind of is haunted. final fantasy 7 is hilarious. anyway, more importantly: ]
"Comrade"?
no subject
Oh, I do not know about that. We would need to have a proper chat... but I believe in that area I am again 'nerfed'.
[grandpa your language]
Normally it would not be entirely odd, for a sword to speak to another.
no subject
he's heard it before but erased it from his mind. anyway, more importantly: ]
... So you're a sword? Normally?
[ this is odd but he has decided to just accept it because it is murder 2.0 ]
no subject
[amused,]
Simply because I am in this form does not mean that I am no longer a sword.
[and he will helpfully let his hand rest upon the sword at his hip, as if to demonstrate his point]
no subject
[ he is looking at the sword and wondering if he should be... talking to the sword? is it puppeteering the human body? oh he hates thinking about this now. ]
no subject
[he will place his free hand over his chest,]
I take it that none of my comrades were placed under your care during your Cult.
no subject
no subject
Yes. Very many. And a greater number than I would like have gone through enough of these experiences.
no subject

I do not know why. The reasoning for each group of people gathered is different, after all. It would be nice, if one could easily say that we are simply magnets for such adventures....
But I do not know if that is the truth.
no subject
...
Maybe the luck they were bringing was to those places. Maybe having them around made things end better than they would've otherwise.
[ this is his awkward way of trying to cheer mikazuki up even though he is not sure why he is doing this ]
no subject
and mikazuki cannot help but smile.]
... are you seeking to console an old sword, Cloud Strife?
no subject
[ LOOKS AWAY IMMEDIATELY EMBARRASSED ]
no subject
mikazuki will allow cloud to look away, but he will also reach a hand out to let the backs of his fingers brush against his jaw.
why do your squeenix always make this happen, zia]
... I did not find it displeasing.
no subject
Now I definitely wasn't trying to be comforting.
no subject
mikazuki laughs at that, like a shitty old man]
Oh, I see, I see. Does touch offend you?
no subject
[ please continue to touch him like he is a feral cat. he is that. ]
no subject
... is that so?
I find this strangely congruent....
