[Action]

[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.]

[Voice]

[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.

[Wait, what?]

How can you make a buildin' with alchemy?!

Hell if I know, but he did it. He wouldn't join the guild, but I did manage to get some kind of partnership of sorts out of him.

[Give him a moment to think.]

Sounds like a weird kid ta me.

He did seem a little weird. ... Then again, almost everyone here is.

Now that's not very nice! There are plenty of non-weirdos here! You just haven't found them yet. I mean, with yer bad luck and all it's not surprisin' you've run into sociopaths!

Yeah yeah, I know - I've run into plenty of non-weirdos already. And besides, I haven't run into any sociopaths here ...

[ ......... ]

... Lately, anyway.

Wonder if we can get those non-weirdos ta join the guild...?

Well, I don't mind taking in the weirdos too, so long as they're not too weird.

What about just grabbin' people and forcing them into it, like ya did ta me?

That requires some pretty specific circumstances, you know. It could be a while before we get any new members if we did things that way.

[Because yes, he was terrible enough to more or less force people into the guild in the past. ... Hmmm, maybe he really should just nab people and force them in, like the old days ...]

I haven't heard anythin' from the Blue Rogues in a while, let's steal their members!

I'm not stealing other group's members ...

[... Even if the thought occurred to him a few times, especially since the Rogues represent the sort of direction Karol seemed to want to take the guild to start with. Still. Adell's a cool guy, he doesn't want to do that to him.]

Fuse the guild together and then take over. I'll give ya hand!

[Is he being serious? Who knows.]

[... Yuri actually goes quiet at that for a few moments. He never thought of something like that. With the way things seemed to be going for both groups, it could very well be beneficial for both, but ...

... at the same time, it'd mean the Blue Rogues would either have to give up their name, or become a sub-division of Brave Vesperia - or some other change would have to happen to Brave Vesperia itself. He's not sure what Adell or Stahn would think about that, especially since he already knows he doesn't want his own guild to have to change it's name, or anything along those lines.

But still ...]

... Maybe. I guess it could be worth mentioning to Adell, at least. Given why that group still exists, though ... I'm not so sure if it'd actually work out.

[Raven is actually surprised that Yuri is taking his suggestion seriously. After all, that would mean they could possible form a type of make-shift Union in Luceti. Then again, maybe this was all part of Raven's big plan to try and push the groups into allying against their captors. Or maybe it was a kind of irony that it could possibly end up with Brave Vesperia leading a Union. With Karol no longer around there's nobody to really reinforce the laws of the guilds, which leaves Raven to have a little fun with them instead.]

Well, the two groups do have a treaty between 'em, right? Brave Vesperia acts as a back-up when they need it from what I recall. Maybe the treaty should be switched ta be more in our favor than theirs?

[He's really trying hard to think of a way for Brave Vesperia to be closer to what it was back home okay ;_; But Raven does have a good point there - maybe, if nothing else, he should at least discuss that with Adell. It'd sure as hell be easier than "hey let's fuse our groups and keep it all under BV's banner", or something.

... yeah, definitely easier. And probably more reasonable, in theory.]

That sounds a lot easier to discuss, at least ... [ ... ] I'll try to talk to him about this a little later.

[Then someone can app the Don, form Altosk and put us all under a whip. BAD GUILDS, BAD.]

Great! Make sure if ya do it over the journals not to lock it, I wanna hear what he says!

I'll let you listen to it when we're done, if there's some reason why I should let you.

Do ya have a good enough reason fer why I shouldn't? I know a hell of a lot more about guilds than you do, kid.

[sigh]

... Point taken. I'll leave it open to you too when I talk to him, then.

I'm not interested in joinin' the conversation though, I'm just curious ta see how you manage your guild. This'll be a good test for ya!

Yeah, right ...

[Dammit, this is why he let KAROL be the leader. Sure, Yuri thinks a lot about the guild and all, but he's really not good with this kind of thing ... ugh.

... Well, he did it once before. He's just going to have to deal with it and do it again.]

I'm not going to have this chat with him too soon, though. I want to see if there are any other ideas I can bring to the table first.

Yeah, do that recruitment drive thing first, then worry about this sorta stuff later on.

Right. It'd just get messy if I tried to do this now when I've got things like that to put together ...

[... S-sob being a guild leader requires too much thinking. Man, how the hell did he manage this the first time, anyway? Maybe he's just over-thinking things ...]

Just make sure we don't endin' up putting things together!

[Raven wants out D; sucks to be me.]
