Swords, honestly.  Any idiot can make a sword.  It takes a genius to craft anything worthwhile, but of course he doesn't appreciate the time and effort put into--well.  I can do better than a sword, anyway.

Erm.  Blitza?  As much as I've enjoyed working for you, I'm afraid I'm quitting.  I've made enough money to convert a room in the mansion into a ( Read more... )

You're an inventor? That's great. Not too many are. And I don't understand the sword part. Inventors usually don't make swords. Someone else does. At least I'm pretty sure they do.

An inventor and a genius. Not many people can lay claim to both, I don't think.

I certainly don't make swords. They're simple--anyone with basic metal-working knowledge can make a sword.

A genius too? That's really good. And it's good that you're confident in that as well. Not all people are. At least not all geniuses are.

Muscle helps too.

At last, someone who can appreciate confidence! What's your name?

Ah. Well. Yes, it helps, but muscle is easier to come by than brilliance. There are far more burly idiots pounding away at forges than geniuses creating fine, intricate pieces of weaponry.

Competition, Carl?

I'll be out.

Rescue. No monsters, should be safe. Back in a few hours. Bringing the only sword in the house with me. I had to pry it off the wall.

Of course not!

What? Where're you going?

Van Helsing! That sword is purely decorative!

Hm.

New arrival to the City, needs some guidance.

That's why it bent, isn't it.

Just don't bring anyone back with you. Strange people pop up every day, and I don't want one of them here.

...Yes. I imagine so.

I'm curious to see the better-than-a-sword.

You prefer swords, too, don't you.

Good man.

I do use firearms.

Any idiot can craft a generic sword, certainly.

Thank you for agreeing with--

Ah? Generic? I've yet to see a sword that impressed me.

[ooc: Certainly! Sleep well. ♥ ]

There is no matching a sword created by a true artisan, and the prices they fetch certainly aren't negligable either.

[OOC: Thank you! And I'm sorry for Carl. Kurama's obsessed with the shiny. x.x]

Oh, have it your way. If you like hacking away at things like a barbarian, be my guest.

[ooc: Not a problem. XD Aw, don't worry--Carl just has a hangup with swords. They're a pet peeve.]

Swords carry sentimental values for any Helsing. You shouldn't take offence by Gabriel's preferences.

somekindofsin June 19 2008, 21:02:22 UTC
They can't have sentimental value if he doesn't have them in hand. Anyway, he has a number of other weapons that are considerably more effective in his line of work.
