Destiny's Tears: Zykovian's Sidetrack

[Rystil Arden]

"Well, in the end it doesn't really matter. For whatever reason, perhaps because of the way my artificial mind was arranged to enforce homogeneity and routine, I sometimes grow attached to specific people or objects, but if it isn't the same one, then it doesn't matter if it's similar or not. I hear that this is true for some mentally retarded humanoids as well. Really if you have spare weapons or armour, that would be fine too."

 

[Keia]

"Well then shouldn't the consideration be comfort and ease of use?" Zykovian offered. Zykovian thought a moment, the his head snapped up with an idea. "Wait . . . did you have any spare equipment that you didn't have with you the other night? If you have things some where else we should pick them up."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No, I don't really need much, so I never really collected many belongs. I just had my armour, my battle lance, my shield, and a few things tucked in pockets of the armour."

"As for comfort and ease of use, they are useful considerations. Please do not give me a weapon that is terribly exotic, then, as it will not be easy for me to use, though I am trained in the use of most common martial weapons. I must say that while heavy armour is the most protective, light armour or no armour at all is probably more comfortable, so does that mean I shouldn't have armour?"

 

[Keia]

Zykovian grinned, "No I guess I meant be comfortable . . . used before to good effect, trained and understand the weapon and perhaps even certain intricasies that the common person wouldn't know."

"Take the battle lance for instance," Zykovian continued, "I thought it took special training to wield a battle lance, much like wielding a Praetorian longbow."

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That is typically the case. However, I was initially trained to be both a pleasure pet and a bodyguard to my master, so I was formatted with the basic weapons training of a Praetorian Centurion. The interesting thing about Centurions is that they are trained to use Praetorian weaponry as if they were common weapons like the longsword or shortbow, as they are to the Centurions. So it isn't really special, exactly. It was covered in basic weapons training. It's just apparently a superior weapon, so people who want me to fight for them typically wanted me to use mine. Of course, that's because I had one. They are handcrafted and extremely expensive, in part because the Praetors don't really want other people learning how to use them or make them themselves, so it would probably be a waste to try to get another one, right?"

 

[Keia]

"Not at all," Zykovian replied, "We should at least explore the possibility, yes?"

OOC Gotta run . . . back later tonight - post 11:00pm

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Well, you left on a cliffhanger in the other thread By the way, this equipment issue might be troublesome in the other thread, but oh well)

"Don't worry about it, Zyk. I don't want to bankrupt you as if I was a really picky and obnoxious person who needed to have a particular type of weapon. I'll take whatever type you prefer."

 

[Keia]

OOC: Well, let's muscle through it here in ooc so we know what she has. Obviously, I think you know Zyk's thoughts, he feels he was behind Lyveria's troubles to some extent (with no little amount of guilt brought on by Lyv - unwittingly I think) and he wants to set things right by her. Therefore, he's going to give her the equipment she needs to be effective. Now, you know his funds and a likelihood of whether he can find the items. We make a quick determination and the other thread will have that knowledge . . . we can play it out here in character if you wish as well. But at least the other thread has the knowledge necessary.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sure He can get the Battle Lance, but it will be exceedingly expensive, and she can be almost as effective with a simple longsword A Breastplate or Chain Shirt would be easy to find)

 

[Keia]

OOC: Very well then, a MW longsword and some good armor should work fine.
