Huh. ... I won that raffle thing.

Awesome.

What did you win?

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:33 am (UTC)(link)
Some sword thing... like I'd even know what to do with it.

Swing it at things?

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
What kind of sword?

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm more partial to guns, yehknow.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:42 am (UTC)(link)
Uhh... Dramon... Breaker Sword?

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 07:57 am (UTC)(link)
I mean is it a katana or a longsword or something else? If it's the former I could give you a crash course in using it. If it's not then I could still give you a crash course in handling a blade safely, but you'll have to get someone else to teach you some kata.

Oh. Uh. I'm guessin' it's a broad sword...

I won't be much help in learning the actual use of it, then, but I'd still like to take you through the safeties. It wouldn't do you much good to chop off your own hand by accident.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 08:21 am (UTC)(link)
No, I'd like to keep my hand, thanks.

You sure this is even a good idea? Swords aren't exactly my thing.

/offscreened? *doesn't actually know much about sword safety* XD;

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Yes.

You might not use it much, but if you ever do have to resort to it then at least you'll know some basics. You'd be surprised at how much they can help you not hurt yourself in a fight, even if you don't technically know the kata.

Besides, having a big-ass sword is like having a big-ass gun: it's intimidating. As long as you look as if you know what you're doing, you might be able to scare opponents off before you actually need to swing the thing around. If you don't know how to at least hold it properly, trust me, they'll know.

Ehe. Off screened is fine. ^^ I actually DO but I have not the brain for it right now.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Alright, alright. Valid points. I'm not gonna be doin' anything with stitches in me, though. I still got a while yet on this recovery.

Oooooh? Remind me to pick your brain sometime~ X3

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 08:38 am (UTC)(link)
So does Master.

I wish you wouldn't do that.

Do what, Master? *she sounds oh-so innocent*

[sigh]

Certianly. Try the weekend. xD; I'm a little less brain dead then.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 08:42 am (UTC)(link)
... yeah, you shouldn't be liftin' anything either, buddy.

\o/

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
[snort] I've had to fight again while worse off.

That was a while ago, though, Master. And it was that or be killed. It's not that important right now.

I would kill for something to do right now other than sleep and lay in bed.

We just wish Master would take care of himself more.

*Draca used puppy-dog eyes attack; it's super effective!*

... [sigh] Fine.

[identity profile] ponchotexas.livejournal.com 2009-10-29 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
*snrk* Yeah, see? If your partners are that worried about you, man, there's something wrong with what you're doing.

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-30 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Master's Kin say the same thing. Theo-lifekeeper doesn't like seeing Master so often ...

Alright, alright! You can lay off the guilt trip now.

To tell the truth, I've had more time to relax here in the digital world than I ever had back home. Half the time I don't know what to do with myself.

Eh, seems to be the case for a lot of people. Even Greggo says he's kinda bored when he's not at home or stuck in the hospital for various reasons. And Greg bored can be a little... scary sometimes.

Just seems like there's not that much to do besides find a job and try to keep yourself mentally occupied if not physically occupied.

[identity profile] tamerofdragons.livejournal.com 2009-10-31 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm not much good at not being physically occupied. There's a lot to do on Clan grounds whenever I get bored, and that's without even having to go into the archives. But here ... not so much.
