T-that's a really big sword....

[ the only reason haruka isn't running away is because this is crow. ]

[bad_crowmance]

I've seen bigger.

[ He grins though, and adds in a stage whisper: ]

But mine's fancier.

[demergo]

Really? How? [ uwoooo ✨️ ]

[bad_crowmance]

For one thing, both ends have blades. And besides-- no one really uses a double saber anymore. It's pretty much a lost art, so people aren't nearly as well-equipped to handle it.

[demergo]

[ this all sounds very reasonable, though it should be said that haruka knows nothing about any proper type of combat. ]

I want to see you use it... [ a normal thing to say. ]

[bad_crowmance]

Well, if we encounter any monsters, you'll probably get your chance.

[ He says this very casually, like monsters aren't an unusual thing to expect to see out and about. ]

[demergo]

[ it's fine, haruka accepts this easily because he's haruka. ]

Will it work on ghosts too?

[bad_crowmance]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "no." If I had my ARCUS, I might be able to use Arts on them, but unfortunately it seems to have been misplaced since I got here.

[demergo]

Arc-arcus?

[ what's that. is it something he should know? he assumes it is. ]

[bad_crowmance]

Yeah, it's my battle orbment-- it's the latest design from the Reinford group.

[demergo]

[ . . . ]

...I don't know what any of those things are.

[bad_crowmance]

[ Well.... he's going to TRY to explain, but.... ]

The Reinford Group is the biggest heavy industry corporation in Erebonia, and often supply a lot of the country's weapons and aircrafts to the military. Battle orbments, or tactical orbments, are a particular kind of orbment you can use when you're fighting-- depending on your quartz loadout, they can improve speed, stamina, and even give you the ability to cast Arts.

[demergo]

[ to his credit, he got like most of the way through the first sentence before his brain gave up. both due to context and also because that's a lot of vocabulary you're asking of him. ]

...you're really smart, Rean-san.

[bad_crowmance]

[ He's smart enough to know when someone didn't understand what he just said. ]

Well, I like to think so. But unless I get lucky, I don't know if I'll be finding my ARCUS anytime soon. So I'll just have to stick with the double saber.

[demergo]

Maybe the ghosts will be scared of it just because of how it looks.

[ if the ghosts are haruka coded, it's possible! ]

[bad_crowmance]

Well, I definitely wouldn't complain if they were.

[ He doesn't think they will be. ]
