Who: Yuri Lowell + You
Broadcast: Video
Action: SS Bishop
When: RIGHT NOW

I've been feeling a little left out with all you guys getting presents and fun rumors. Which is why I thought I'd add some of my own. Ahem.

[ Yuri dramatically clears his throat. ]

"Yuri's hair is insured for 1000 gald"

"Yuri blew up a casino once."

"Yuri's secret power is talking to bunnies."

"Yuri wore a bikini once. And won a swimsuit competition."

That should cover it. I guess now I have to do the requisite log off and hiding in my room in shame.

If you want to visit, I'm at the Bishop. I'm in the mood for crepes.

[ A pause. ]

Who?

Uh, a couple elves I met here - Maglor and his brother Maedhros. I commission 'em when I need my vessel repaired, but I gotta be careful since we don't have a forge on ship.

I'm surprised there's any place to do that kind of work here.

[ In an enclosed area, floating in space . . . it doesn't seem like the smartest idea. ]

Only time I've seen it was when we stopped at a planet. They had some mining planets so we could grab the ore. I gave as much as I could to them to hold onto for me in case I got close to breaking.

Hmm. Looks like I'll have to buy one from somewhere.

Yeah. Dunno what places sell weapons, but there have to be some, right?

[Some...where...]

[ Yuri resists the urge to poke fun. It would be taken at face value after all. ]

Don't worry. I know how to find them.

[Donut is a dumb sword. He tries okay.]

If you see a place, let me know. It'd be good to look around and see what else they got.

[ Yuri shrugs. ]

Sure. That seems easy enough.

Thanks.

So are you new or what? I can't really tell.

You guessed it. I only got here three days ago.

[Ha! He's getting better at figuring this out.]

You're pretty damn calm for arriving just a few days ago.

I don't see any point in panicking. It doesn't benefit me and only benefits the Atroma.

Makes sense. Most people here show up either confused or freaked out. Good to see someone's got a level head.

I've never been very good at freaking out anyway.

I guess after gettin' stuck in crappy situations a lot, you'd just get used to it, huh?

It just rolls off my back at this point.

Well, that'll be a handy skill here. Weird shit happens on the regular.

Considering we're floating in space . . . I think that's a given.

....true.

[But then there's time travel and demons and aliens and augment malfunctions and breathing water and magic and lord knows anymore.]

[ There's very little that can get under Yuri's skin. But once that happens, he's a completely different person. ]

The place may have changed, but the people are the same.

[He scratches his head and shrugs. That's true, for the most part.]

Yeah....They're dressed up all different with powers or whatever, but mortals are mortals I guess.

Sooo. What are you again?

Huh? [Didn't he mention it before?]

Oh, uh, I'm a sword - a tsukumogami.

Okay but what does that mean?
