[As per usual, Yuri's spending his morning today in the battle dome ... although, for those who've seen him in there a decent amount of times, they may notice something different. Like the fact that he seems to be using a mid-sized axe instead of a sword this time around. It even seems to be making some of his artes look and act a little differently as well.

He also has a sword leaning against the room he's using - namely the katana Luke got him for Christmas. Occasionally, during breaks in his training, he'll wander over to it and pick it up, as if thinking about something related to it, but he always ends up putting it back down again.

Feel free to interrupt his session at any point! The monsters he's fighting don't seem to be challenging him very much, to begin with.]

[After his training session--]

Got a bit of a question for everyone. Which do you think is better - swords, or axes?

[Filtered to Brave Vesperia: 85% Unhackable]

As for you all, I figured I should let you know that I'll be trying to do a little recruiting around the end of the month. I'm planning on doing the usual through-the-journal kind, but if anyone's got a better idea, let me know.

... Actually, if anyone's got any ideas for the guild at all, now's a good time to tell me. Especially if it'd help us stand out a little more as something other than some kind of construction group.

... That wouldn't end well, if they did. Although, it'd be kind of suicidal for them to really try to start much of anything with as many "good guy" types as we've got around here. Unless they were seriously confident in themselves, anyway.

Yeah, you can. An axe hits a lot harder than a sword can, but that's about the only thing it's got over an sword.

[Give how irritated she sounds? ... Yeaaaah, the choice is pretty clear.]

I think a brief one on video should be fine for now.

Sadly, the people who are confident enough to attack so many 'good guy' types at once are usually strong enough to cause quite a lot of damage, at the very least.

You're right. We're not nearly at hugging yet.

[...

Should she tell him? On one hand, she's nervous as all hell to bring it up, but on the other... it was her who told him all those months ago that she wouldn't let that incident happen again, wasn't it?

Noel should probably tell him. It would probably just seem weird if she danced around the subject anyway...]

A friend of mine told me a few weeks ago that there was some sort of Shift set up here a while ago. [...] A failsafe in case something ever happened again.

Part of it, yeah. Weapon does matter, but the strength's a plus.

Yeah, not to mention you can't really block with an axe, so you haven't really got a lot of options.

I've done my fair share of wood chopping duty and I've always found axes to be really top heavy.

Fine. [ The feed clicks on to show Tenten holding a scroll as large as her torso. ] What weapons do you want to see first?

A show of confidence helps too. [ Which Yuri's putting on right now. ]

...Why do you ask, anyway? Just out of curiosity?

Not much work to do today?

[she sees through your casual tone.]

For me a sword would be too heavy anyway.

In that case, I can see why you go for axes. I can't think of much else that's stronger than those.

Huh? ... Well, I guess some types might be a little on the heavy side.

Sure does. You don't get a fair fight when you act all humble about how good you are.

Yeah, I'd give it a little more time before we get to that point.

'Xactly. Give me an ax, blaster, and some good clothes and I'm set. [...Aside from the scythe, but]

Usually, yeah. Although, every time something like that's happened here, we've all managed to stop it pretty quick. So something like that isn't something I'll be losing much sleep over any time soon.

More or less. I've never really seen any axe-users around, either, so I thought it might be interesting to ask.

Well, they're kinda supposed to be, but I know what you mean. The weight's never really bothered me too much, though.

Well, there was some, but ... yeah, not very much.

Well, it's possible to block with one, but ... not very well. I guess the only people who'd really use one are those who don't really need to worry about things like that.

Next time we meet, we'll have a fist bump. A very heartfelt fist bump.
