[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.]

[After his training session--]

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

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.

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.]

Yeah yeah, I know ...

[Clearly they both need to go out for a drink and cry manly tears at actually having to be responsible.

Dammit where is that 12 year old boy, they need to shove this on him instead ;_;]

I wasn't really gonna say anythin', but ya do seem to be struggling with this whole guild thing without the kid around. [It's not hard to notice, Yuri.] Maybe you should chat to that Zack guy? He was pretty passionate about keepin' the guild together when you were gone.

I'm not struggling - I'm just ... a little overwhelmed, I guess. [Really, it is a lot of things he's got to take care of, especially if it means getting the guild out of the rut it's in.] But it's not like I lose anything talking to Zack. Hell, he might have some ideas I didn't think of ...

You'd get better ideas from him than me, I didn't even want ta join yer guild in the first place!

Oh yeah? Well, too bad for you, I guess.

[Which is a lot of words to say "deal with it", really.]

[This face Yuri, look long and hard at it.]

Ya know what the annoyin' thing is? Even if I got sent back home again I'd still be stuck with you guys.
