So.

Anyone else get an interesting gift from the guys at NRL? Because some kid just gave me a katana, of all things.

Definitely not complaining, though. It's pretty cool.


[This can only go well, right?


...Who in the world thought giving this man more sharp things to play with was a good idea.]

I was given a magitech device that makes animals friendly! I have pet so many cats.

[He is very excited to share this wonderful thing that happened to him.]

[darkdisgrace]

...A device to pet cats with? Really?

[That's... unique.]

[accidentallich]

Animals don't usually like me much.

[darkdisgrace]

Well. Guess that makes things easier on you then, huh?

[accidentallich]

It's wonderful. No offense, but I think I received the better gift here.

[What would you even use a sword for?? Hurting people??]

I also received a weapon.

[darkdisgrace]

Oh? What kind of weapon?

[reflash]

A shotgun. Apparently it's powered by Kizuna, but I have yet to figure out exactly what that means.

[darkdisgrace]

Huh. The kid who gave me the katana said the same thing about it. Though I still don't know how you 'power' a sword with anything, frankly.

[reflash]

Does it work like a lightsaber?

I GOT MONEY!!!1
o(*^▽^*)o

[Aka the best thing ever. Fucking finally, Ochako can actually build a decent wardrobe and not have to furiously wash her things or alternate between what little she has.]

[darkdisgrace]

[...Heh. Cute.]

Congratulations on the cash. The free food and board is nice, but having some spending money for clothes and other things is a good thing.

[floatsaway]

yea!!!
i'm rly happy the ppl here are giving us so much
but having only 3 pairs of clothes is...no fun...

[Especially when one of them was her hero costume before someone gifted her a kimono upon arrival - probably taking pity on her odd attire. Ochako only got another outfit after that by getting enough cash from the research lab during the most recent experiments.]

[darkdisgrace]

You're telling me. I managed to pick up a few shifts as a bouncer after I arrived, but it's taken time to actually get a steady job.

I never thought I'd have to worry about money like this again, it's a weird feeling.

[Crime pays Really Well, if only his bank cards from home actually meant anything here.]

[floatsaway]

me 2...
i did a few odd jobs, but nothing rly set in stone
it's nice to finally afford things u need

[Ochako's not touching that last part, hahaha...no one needs to know she's absolutely dirt poor back home as well as here. And that she sometimes skips meals to save money - in order to siphon into her parents' account, so that she can give them a happy and carefree life one day.]

Some kid just gave you a katana? No strings attached?

[darkdisgrace]

No, none at all. Surprisingly.

Seemed pretty happy to give it to me, too.

[chichichi]

I wonder.

[ About the generosity of their hosts. Worthwhile weapons aren't cheap, after all, but then, the weapon itself is in question here, too. ]

I want to see it. You can't put something like that on the internet and not properly show it off, you know.

[darkdisgrace]

I'd love to show off a picture, but I'm afraid these things don't have cameras.

[Alas, no badass selfies.]

I'd be happy to show it off in person though.

[chichichi]

Name a time and place and I'll be there.

[terribletwos]

they just handed you a sword

[darkdisgrace]

They did. Must have known I was a badass, or something.

[terribletwos]

do you know how to use a katana

[darkdisgrace]

No. But I can learn, can't I?

[terribletwos]

if you know someone else who knows how to use one. or swords in general, i guess.
