72... bad touch

private\\unhackable

Still the same dream. No matter where I go I still see it around me, smothering me. I still wake up with the burning in my arms and that laughter in my ears. Will it ever go away? Does Vincent still dream of it as well? Does Zack?

I feel like I will always have them no matter what I do. That I will always dream the same thing and wake up needing to run as far from everyone as I can get. Will it change if I start seeing someone? Will I hurt them thinking they are a part of my dreams? I don't want to hurt anyone that way.

What I want... I'll never get it.

Anyone still awake and willing to spar? Someone who's not afraid of big swords, thanks.

How big are we talking?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:04 am (UTC)(link)
Roughly five feet, give or take.

What the hell is it made out of?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:13 am (UTC)(link)
Mythril alloy. I never asked the exact recipe.

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Right. Of course. Why am I surprised at all.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:22 am (UTC)(link)
Anything else would break.

What do you use?

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:26 am (UTC)(link)
A Hattori Hanzo katana.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
Nice. Had it long?

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:35 am (UTC)(link)
Long enough for me to feel quite attached.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mm. It wasn't easy to let go of my first sword but it's time was done. At least the Buster Sword's replacement is a good blade.

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
I have no intention of ever letting this baby go. It was a lot of work that can't be undone.

Buster sword? Is that what you call it?

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
I can imagine. Mine took a lot of time to make, and I think that I'll have it for a long time to come.

Buster? No, it's in the same class though. It's First Tsurugi.

Good things come to those who wait. That's what they say. Frankly, I make my own time with good results. Looks like you do the same.

That's a fucking huge sword.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 08:59 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

Mm. I'm used to it. Although, the Masamune is bigger.

Well. Longer.

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 09:01 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure the logistics of fighting with a sword that size are fascinating.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 09:04 am (UTC)(link)
The balance alone is perfect for slashes and point work, but it's not made for stabbing that much. It's mostly for cutting anything in half.

..>Though I have smaller blades.

[identity profile] venomouselle.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
I think that seeing it in action would be the best day to get the gist.

That seems more practical.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 09:39 am (UTC)(link)
It usually is. Most can't understand how I can even lift it, let alone swing it.

It all depends on who or what I'm fightijng. A smaller blade will bounce off the skin of a Malboro, for instance, while Tsurugi will cut one in half.

I'll probably work on a few beaks if you just want to watch and not spar with me.

Who the hell's afraid of a big sword?

[identity profile] theredreaper.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm up for a spar.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyone that's seen me swing it.

[identity profile] cloudsinstrife.livejournal.com 2008-11-17 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
What kind of weapon do you prefer?

I thought you were fine.
