[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.

... I don't know, I don't think height has much to do with it. I mean, I could probably be shorter than you and still use one, so long as I have the upper body strength for it.

[Raspberries, Yuri. You get raspberries. You and your logic. Sheesh.]

Well for me, they're still awkward. The weight isn't evenly distributed for me. At least with a sword, you get a lot more of that.

[trueknight]

[He's shrugging at your raspberries, Selphie.]

Can't really argue with that. I mean, there are some heavy swords out there, but they're probably still more evenly distributed than an axe, weight-wise.

[selphie_t]

[Fine, Yuri. Be that way.]

I don't think anybody who uses a sword will to tell you the truth.

[Nunchaku's are still the best though.]

[trueknight]

Yeah, probably not ...

[selphie_t]

So why were you asking anyway?

[trueknight]

Just curious, mostly. I use axes and swords, but I never really see anyone else doing the same - or even looking at axes.

[selphie_t]

Well, maybe some places are like my Garden. You picked a weapon that you wanted to learn and that's the one you were stuck with.

[trueknight]

Your ... Garden?

[selphie_t]

It's where I trained to become a mercenary. It's not a flower garden.

[You people and think it's a flower garden. Good grief.]

[trueknight]

... I see. [ ... ] Why is it called a "garden", anyway? Are they trying to confuse people?
