[ Action ⋗ Video ]

[ The Mirrors turn on, showing Lamia returning to the Gardens with a large amount of wild stuff from one of the Wild Places in her arms. She dumps the shapeless material onto the ground.

Imagination...I wonder, is that something I have? If it's necessary to make use of this, then I'll find out...

She reaches out to the material, intending to shape it. If one were to look closely, her already bright green eyes seem to glow and flash. The material changes shape; when it begins to have a resemblance to a tip of a large armored foot, it collapses.

I have the schematics stor--memorized, so this must not be enough. Not nearly enough. I had better go with something small.

She thrusts her hand into the mass. Slowly pulling it back out, she appears to be pulling an object from the wild material while doing so. It quickly becomes obvious that it is a broadsword, and a long one at that. After several seconds of pulling, the blade comes to an end. Lamia swings the weapon with incredible ease, despite the blade being as long as she is tall and most certainly as heavy as it looks. After a moment, she looks over her shoulder towars the Vine, fully aware that it is and has been on. ]

That sound of construction must mean something. Does anyone know what the Queen may be planning? Even a guess?

I've noticed that...when the Queen says she's going to do something nice for us, something always seems to go wrong.

I remember that much from my last stay here. I was hoping to be able to prepare a bit better.

[mnementomori]

I looked around, but I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from.

I just...hope there are no monsters this time.

[video]

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

Monsters...

I wonder how many people here can take care of themselves?

[video]

[mnementomori]

I'm not sure. I can fight, but I know some of my friends can't. I'll protect them if I have to, but they live in different places...

[ Larry lets out an impressed whistle. ]

Whatever it is, it looks like you can deal with it if it's bad.

I hope as much, but I can't be sure if I have no idea what it will be.

As long as it's not like those weird invincible spirit... things... way back in winter, we'll be fine.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

...Those haven't returned yet?

[gun-cata.livejournal.com]

Fingers crossed that stuff like that was a one-time deal.

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

Lamia! You have a sword! That's great! Lamia is very strong!

Maybe the Queen is really sorry for all of the bad things. Maybe she's making us a present?

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

...I doubt it.

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

You have been here longer... you probably know better. I just wanted her to understand and stop being bad...

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

It may not be so much that she is being 'bad' as it is that she doesn't realize there is an alternative or she believes what she is doing is right.

[ Like with herself, the Divine Crusaders, Inspectors, Shadow Mirror, and Stern Regisseur--some changed their minds, like herself, while others felt they were doing what was right until the end. ]

[alchemistsquery.livejournal.com]

Oh... [That's right! She herself didn't know she was being bad...] But how can we convince her if she doesn't appear very often and won't listen?

[Kallen just watches silently as the woman draws that sword out of the dirt, far bigger than she'd expect someone could use in their own two hands, but she's used to being surprised in this place. Forgetting her question for a moment, she has to say =

Wow, you really know how to use that thing, don't you?

[video]

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

I think I may. I'll have to find out for sure.

[video]

[nuclearqueen.livejournal.com]

I certainly couldn't hold it up like you do. You're stronger than you look. I'm impressed.

Oh! And I have no idea what the Queen has planned. Probably nothing good.

[video]

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

[ Deliberately ignoring the comment about strength... ]

That seems to be what I've hearing from everyone. Not that I'm surprised, but it's disappointing not being able to be more prepared.

[video]

[nuclearqueen.livejournal.com]

She's kind of unpredictable that way. And obnoxious. I've tried to stay ready for anything, but there's only so much you can do.

Backtagging like craaaazyyyy starts now

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Nice sword.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

Thank you. I had hoped to make something I'm a bit more familiar with, but it's proving to be difficult.

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

You told me you fight with large humanoid war machines, right? Complex weapons like those seem impossible to create under the Queen's rules. Even a simple mass weapon, you have to assemble in pieces.

[angelgressor.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I may not be as useful as I should be, then.

Sorry for utterly spamming you by the way but I'm trying to catch up

[brustriese.livejournal.com]

Given the scale of things that normally show up here, and the way you're handling a hand-to-hand weapon, I think you'll be plenty helpful.
