35 Souls [Voice Post]

[soul_dissonance]

Back to the old grind again.

Che. Why is it that during times like these when I'm singled out as a Weapon, trouble seems to be easier to find? Not cool at all.

Anyway... I had my moment. ...I'd be more worried if Maka disappeared from Shibusen, and not this trash heap. But since that's not the case, I'm going to continue doing what I set out to do before: I'm going to try to find my way back home.
Tell me that's impossible or that I'm dreaming, and I'll just be the one to tell you whose given up. It's not like I'm trying to drag anyone else behind me.

---

...which reminds me.

Where can I meet you so that we can talk?

---

So... It looks like I'll need to take some time to sharpen my edge a little.

Oi. I know that the chance to spar has been thrown our here before, but I wouldn't mind the chance right now. Don't want to get too rusty before things start to get worse again.

Uh... Shinji?

I've got to tell you. That thing was no dog.

Yeah, I get it. It ain't really a dog.

Locked

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Sounds like I'm not the first.

Re: Locked

[prodigal-axe.livejournal.com]

Tch. Still gonna call it one. Since it doesn't got a real species.

Er, you'd be right about that.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

Singled out? Did something happen, Soul?

As for getting back, I'll back you a hundred percent. I refuse to spend the rest of my eternity in asymmetrical Hell.

Just be careful, goodness. You can't stay out of trouble for a minute, can you?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Nn? Aah, no... Just thinking out loud.
It's not like there's a high chance of finding anyone who can wield me in scythe form while Maka's gone, you know?

Heh. Somehow I had a feeling that you would see things the same way. Uh... minus and asymmetrical note.

I will, Kid. Stop worrying so much. And what trouble? I'm the only one among us (next to old man Death Scythe) who has their chip out, and my own fighting skills are less than stellar when I'm on my own like this. That's why I should try to improve so that I don't find trouble again.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

Ah... alright. I'm just making sure... not like there's anyone else who can manage handling you, after that Black*Star incident.

I'm glad you did. We just don't belong here.

I'm not worrying, just... mildly concerned. A spar would probably do you good.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

When you put it that way, I think that I would be happier if they didn't try to hard either. That hurt like hell before...

You'd be surprised to know that there are some people who feel like they could simply cope with it for the rest of their lives. Not that I'm one of them.

...right. I'd take you up on that myself, but... aah. Maybe you deserve someone who is more on par with your skills than I am.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Whether they think so or not, we just don't belong here. Those who think this place is fine probably have a few issues they need to work out.

I could go easy on you, if you think you'd do so badly.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Hn. I didn't think of it that way before...

...Yeah. I know. If Shinjiro heard you saying that stuff around him, then I wonder if you'd end up catching hell for it too, Kid.

[Sarcastic] Che. Aren't you too kind.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you necessarily have to be a death scythe to let others wield you without harm, but you could always try.

I'm only kidding. I actually think you'd be able to hold your own. Especially in a half-weapon form, and with the restraints Discedo's already put on me, it could be interesting.

Though if you don't want to, I understand completely.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Oi, that doesn't mean that I'm ready to give up. Just that I'm not too keen on pain. Don't worry. I'll figure something out sooner or later.

...

When you put it that way, you make it sound like you're putting on a handicap for yourself. Annoying.

Forget it. It would only be worse if we both got too rusty in this place. ...I'll take you on.

[asymmetriphobic.livejournal.com]

I hope so.

...I'm not putting a handicap on myself. Just stating the facts.

Heh, it would be interesting fighting you one-on-one.

[mrbaseballfan.livejournal.com]

Peace and quiet is nice and all, but I need to get used to fighting without my powers again. If you wanna go a round or two, I'm game.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Huh. I didn't think that you would be the one to take me up on it, Ness. How to put this... You seem like the kind of person who is too cool to be interested in fighting.

Heh. But why not? I have a handicap of my own. Though... I hope you're not planning on coming at me bare-handed, or else you'll be in for a surprise.

[mrbaseballfan.livejournal.com]

Too cool? Whaddya mean?

I don't have much experience with my bare hands, I'd have to use my baseball bat or my yo-yo.

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

I mean that you're not a knucklehead like I can be sometimes. [He gives a light chuckle.]

That sounds like it would be an interesting match-up. ...But are you sure you really want to put one of those up against a scythe?

[mrbaseballfan.livejournal.com]

Hey, don't underestimate the power of a good swing. I beat a Kraken with just my baseball bat, remember?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

All right, all right.

When can you meet me? I have to go talk to Bulma about something, but after that I'll have plenty of time to take you on.

[notpanties.livejournal.com]

I'm at the auto shop for a few more hours. Come by whenever!

[private]

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

The auto shop, huh?

Got it.

[[ooc Commentlog, y/n? ♥]]

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen you as a Weapon yet, have I?

[nummeh-souls.livejournal.com]

Heh. It sounds like you want to change that, huh, Mona?

[onceahuman.livejournal.com]

Definitely! I want to see it for myself.
