So given my discussion with America and my apparent need to be a swashbuckler, I found a sword hidden in my room. I'm not sure exactly how long it's been here or even why it's here in the first place, but I have it.

...I'd also like to make it known that I'm incredibly clumsy with this thing. I almost cut my hand off!

You must be careful with swords! I could show you a few safety tips.

[normalskeptic]

That's up to you. I'm starting from the bottom anyway, any help I can get would be good.

Let's see...A nice sheath never hurt anyone...Don't throw your sword around, that's always kind of scary...and...you know there's practice and stuff...

[normalskeptic]

Is there a website you're getting all of this from?

[astraystar]

It's from experience.

[normalskeptic]

...are you that good at swordplay?

[astraystar]

I was not that great at the sword. My demon arts is much better. However, I had a great teacher...although he did throw my sword at me once...it was dangerous...I don't know why he was always to reckless...Anyway, you just have to keep on practicing! Until you get blisters on your hands and stuff.

He threw his sword-- I've heard of eccentric teachers, but seriously!

Thank you for the tips, in any case. I guess everyone has to start somewhere.

I could train you if you asked. I'll increase your skill at the sword in a matter of minutes.

You suddenly sound like a spam e-mail!

But, if it passes the time and helps me at least learn the basics, then I'll at least try.

[astraystar]

Good. I won't go easy on you just because you are human.

[normalskeptic]

Couldn't you at least give me a warning when your training is going to break all human possibilities and have me feel the after effects?

[astraystar]

Hmmm...Nope!
