[ There appears to be nothing going on. Sunday is standing in the woods, turned away from the camera, and looking down at something in his hand.

Then he pulls the chain that holds it up over his head. There's a soft clink of metal

[cigarboss]

Impressive. But can you handle it?

[gtfomygarden]

[ Sunday pauses, and then effortlessly grips and lifts the scythe with one hand, keeping it perfectly balanced-

-and suddenly springs to life. He's striking at air now, but there is the unspoken guarantee that these were meant to strike down enemies as well.
The movements are almost graceful, and the Denizen doesn't fumble or misstep once; fortunate, because a misstep would mean injury from the sharp blade.

This goes on for a minute, at most; he brings the scythe into a controlled spin a final time, the blade nearly coming close enough to slice his face open, and then rests it back on his shoulder again. ]

Does that answer your question?

[cigarboss]

[she's definitely impressed, but not going to say anything about it.]

Indeed. Did you use such a weapon in your own world?

[gtfomygarden]

I trained one of my lieutenants in its use, yes.

[ He's not going to say that he's a little rusty either. 8| NEVER ADMIT ]

[ Was sort of staring for a few moments. Then it almost startled him out speech but not quite. Moving the mirror, Altair raises an eyebrow. What sorcery is this good sir. ]

Preparing?

[gtfomygarden]

[ wonderland sorcery is what. ]

You could say that. I was merely testing my weapon.

[foolnornovice]

[ Never heard of it. NEXT-- ]

Did you just receive it?

[gtfomygarden]

No.
It appears to have been with me in another guise since the beginning of my time here.

[journeyfromwar]

Your weapon, I presume? [It's certainly a dangerous looking one.]

[gtfomygarden]

Yes. And the only weapon I will have in this place that is actually suited for my current height.

[journeyfromwar]

Odd that you had to mention current. Do you change heights?

[gtfomygarden]

Sometimes. It is rather inconvenient to be at my natural height all the time.

[ ...that is a giant blade you got there, man. Silver is staring, yes, but his features are as blank as always - if he's impressed (and okay who wouldn't be impressed?) he doesn't show it. ]

Should you show the shape of your weapon to people who might be enemies?

[ ever practical, Silver is. He sounds forceful about his query, but not particularly concerned - after all, it probably helps in the long-run if he knows the shape of your shifter, in case you ever attack him. ]

Or are you warning us away?

[gtfomygarden]

It matters not whether it's seen by friend or foe at this point.

When the fighting starts, it will be the least of any enemies' problems.

[annealoncemore]

Hn. Why's that?

[gtfomygarden]

[ well that should be obvious ]

They will hardly have time to remember weaponry when it's cutting them down.
