[ Katina opens up a video feed in front of her finished mech, little more than a statue right now, but at least a pretty one, and one that COULD be made functional if she figures out how. ]

Hey! I know there are guns here, and that some of them even work, but I know I can't rely on just that. I'd just beat the shit out of anything I couldn't shoot, but joint locks aren't gonna work too well on a snake person, so I need a little help. I heard that there's a 'Sephiroth' here who could teach me how to use a sword, but if anyone wants to teach me how to use a spear or an axe or a fuckin' monk's spade, I'm up for it.

[ She huffs and crosses her arms. ]

And what was up with everyone for a while there? I was working like a woman possessed, and Subaru, I know you're not that much of a flirt. Is this kinda BS normal here?

Aer? Artes?

[ Katina gives it a curious look. ]

Hell, for all I know it's floatin' around everywhere and no one's figured it out yet. It was the same way with Masaki's Prana BS.

[she shrugs.]

You've got a point there. It's taken mages a long time to uncover what they know--hard to imagine how long it took the previous civilization to come up with it all from scratch.

Ahh, but you don't want a history lesson--you're a woman of action, aren't ya?

[in a smooth, practiced movement, she draws a second weapon from her belt where it was concealed under her jacket. It resembles a katar, but a closer look reveals that shape is formed by folding up a larger weapon at specific joints. She demonstrates its full form, a bow, extending it with a flick of the wrist. Without wasting any time, she draws the string, the other knife still in her hand. Energy crackles around the pommel stone, forming a glowing green arrow, and when she releases it it sails off to bury itself in a nearby tree. The energy dissipates, leaving only the small hole it dug in the trunk.]

[ Ancient, mysterious civilizations? What is this, sci-fi? ]

That... that is pretty fancy. Got your ranges covered all in one weapon, though I dunno if I want something that complicated.

[fantasy rpg aww yeah]

Got to forgive an old lady for showin' off. [she winks, folding the weapon back up.] 'sides, a weapon like this takes experience. But I can train ya with a regular bow, no problem.

I think I'll do the sword first, then come to you when I'm a little more confident.

[variabledge]

Nice and traditional, can't go wrong there. Good luck! [she gives a playful two-fingered salute.]

Thanks. I'll make sure I master it asap!
