That's quite impressive footwork you have!

[text] couldnotfly November 12 2011, 02:24:13 UTC

Thanks! Haven't had to do that in a while, but I guess there's some stuff you never forget, huh?

[text] cut_and_kill November 12 2011, 10:14:12 UTC

That is supposedly what one learns it for!

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 03:04:02 UTC

Pretty much. Though my teacher would have had my head for using what he taught me like this.

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 08:44:30 UTC

Ha ha! No, teachers tend to frown upon improper usage. But if it's practical...

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 09:17:46 UTC

If it's practical than you might as well use it, right?

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 09:21:10 UTC

Well, there does have to be a certain respect for the sword... But generally, yes.

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 09:36:38 UTC

Yeah, but it's kinda hard to respect anything if you end up dead cause you didn't use your sword. At least, that's how I figure.

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 09:39:07 UTC

If you want to be traditional you could say that improper usage is worthy of death. ...But that seems a little pessimistic~

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 10:28:31 UTC

Maybe more than a little. It's kinda old school to do that, isn't it?

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 10:33:45 UTC

That depends where you're from, I'd say! It's not that strange to hear it, I think.

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 11:54:50 UTC

I guess not, but it seems kinda drastic to me. I mean, if you've trained to use the sword already, wouldn't it be kinda dumb to kill a trained soldier? Just means you gotta train another one and that takes a lot of time.

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 12:07:15 UTC

...Ah. But only very rarely is the soldier valuable enough that he cannot be replaced easily.

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 12:47:26 UTC

Maybe. But that doesn't make him any less valuable as a human. His life shouldn't be thrown away just because he didn't give his sword the respect someone else thought it deserved.

[text] cut_and_kill November 13 2011, 12:49:50 UTC

You forget that he may be of the same opinion-- or holds his superior's opinion in high enough regard to listen to it even in such a situation.

Hm, but it's definitely a little old-fashioned...

[text] couldnotfly November 13 2011, 16:00:41 UTC

I guess. Still doesn't make his life worth any less than his superior officer's. Can't command an army if they're all dead cause they thought they were worthless.

Guess there's a reason for the saying "out with the old and in with the new", huh?
