Ah yes--
[she hasn't really talked to a lot of people. To the few that she has spoken with, the soft voice of the sword spirit sounds different. It'smissing the modulation shaky for one thing, and she seems a little disoriented. It might be easy to mistake Fi as someone new until she continues]
If there is anyone with some spare time, it would seem that I require some assistance? I am... Uncertain? To my current location, but my MID appears to be in working order. [she's not entirely sure how, considering it's not on her wrists. It doesn't matter, that she can still use it like she could when she was herself is a relief]

D-does anyone have any suggestions as to how to stand under one's own power?
[ooc: she floats everywhere, gravity is a novel concept to her. A companion post to her log comment]

[He was surprised. This girl seemed increasingly frail, almost like she was ill or something. But she didn't look sick. Instead she just seemed like she couldn't control her limbs. Like normal sensations were...not normal to her.]
[Space was weird.]
You keep saying things like being 'created' instead of 'born.' Why?
The way you're talking, it just sort of sounds like you were built...like a weapon or something.

I was created to be a guide for the Hero of the world that I am from.
[she stops and looks up at Darin. Her expression - though slightly flushed from exertion - is unnaturally blank]
As his guide, I reside within the Goddess Sword that Her Grace left for him. And so, Darin Altway, I have never experienced touch nor have I any use for human emotions. Such things were unnecessary for my task.
no subject
Wait wait wait...let me...let me get this straight...
You're the spirit of a legendary weapon? A hero's legendary weapon?
But...for some reason you're not a spirit anymore. You're a person. Which is why you're so baffled by everything that's happening right now?
[Sure, that sounds absolutely crazy. About as crazy as a human man housing half of the soul of a literal God of Destruction. Point is, Darin's not about to wave off anything that involves goddesses or the like.]
If you're supposed to guide the hero, why are emotions and being able to feel so bad?
*wiimote vibrates angrily as Fi tl;drs*
You are only 30% correct in your assessments. Allow me to explain it more thoroughly.
[Fi wants to move but none of her limbs are reacting the way she means them to. The weakness in her legs alone make her natural movements impossible; the leaps and spins she'd performed so thoughtlessly seemed like a faraway goal now]
I am a spirit that dwells within a sacred sword crafted by the Guardian Goddess of the land for her chosen Champion. At the time that I was summoned by the Ingress, the sword has achieved it's true form and power by the Hero's hand. My current predicament may have something to do with the Lamarians that reside here and have recently finished performing a ceremony to honour their dead.
But that is cause for my confusion.
... [there's an air of a teacher reprimanding a student in her tone]
I was not created with human emotions and sensations because they were unnecessary, not because they are 'bad'. It is not my duty to determine the merits of such things, I was merely to guide the Hero.
[and she fixes Darin with another one of her Piercing Stares]
As a blacksmith, you should surely understand. A weapon does not need to understand the will of it's Master, it does not need the sensation of touch nor smell. It is a tool that will be used as it's Master sees fit, whether for good or for evil.
*resynchs wii remote to system so my bomb throws become accurate again*
I never thought I'd be arguing this point with a sword but...
I disagree. Weapons aren't just tools. They're not something we can just shelve or scrap or sell when we don't have a use for them anymore. A weapon is both a reflection of the creator and the one who wields it. If the weapon doesn't fit the one who wields it, both the weapon and the wielder can both destroyed. For that matter, if the person forging the weapon doesn't put their very heart and soul into the process, then why bother in the first place.
Swords, weapons, aren't tools. They're extensions of their master and the forger's will given form.
You were given a purpose and...well, I'm sad to see that you weren't given the capacity to understand just how valuable you are.
no subject
[she shakes her head]
The value of the Master Sword is immeasurable. Blessed by the Golden Goddesses and the Guardian Goddess, it is a blade that no evil can ever touch... But it is precisely because of it's power that it must not become involved in the disputes of Man. Based off of observations, it is difficult for most mortals to turn away from those in trouble or to recognise dangerous situations and react accordingly. [there's a small smile as she says this. Is she making fun of people she knows? She might just find amusement in the irony]
It is not my place to determine right from wrong. The only thing I can do is support my Master and to seal away the darkness that would threaten the land. Nothing more.
no subject
What if your Master decided to use you to do bad things? What if he chose not to seal away the darkness that threatened your world? Would you be forced to just...accept that?
no subject
No one with evil in their hearts may touch the Master Sword. Only those who have proven themselves suitable to be the Hero can wield this weapon.
If he fails to prove himself, then he is not suitable to wield my power.
[the words are delivered smoothly and without any hesitation. The connotations behind the words are a little unsettling. What would happen if no Hero appears? If he proves himself but is unsuitable?
Well, she doesn't know the outcomes yet. She simply knows that it will be Dealt With]
no subject
I mean, alright. You were forged with a clear purpose. So, either this Hero comes along, wields you, and saves the world, banishes the darkness, yadda yadda...
Or you...what? Just sit there? And wait? For what? Your options are to wait for a proven Hero or the world falls into darkness. And for that matter, what's the criteria for the Hero?
...I'm not trying to give you a hard time, Fi. To be honest? I've never had a conversation with a sword before and I have pretty much a million questions. You're fascinating. But...at the same time?
It's...kind of sad. I hope that your Hero is someone who can appreciate you as more than just a tool.
no subject
... I do not believe there will be any sort of problem. [her expression softens] Rather, it might be easier if he does not consider me at all. He will have a great many trials to overcome. He will meet others who need his help and who will help him.
If it makes it easier for him to fulfil his destiny, I do not mind being forgotten. After all I have completed my task. I will not be awake when we see each other again.
no subject
[This didn't sit right with him, but what could he do? It wasn't really his place to meddle in the affairs of a Goddess and her realm, especially when that realm had nothing to do with him.]
[But since when has common sense ever stopped him before?]
[With a slight grin, he picks Fi up, figuring it would be easier on her at this point if he just carried her to the Med Bay.]
Yeah, I'm just full of questions. And while you think it might be okay for a weapon forged by the Goddess to just be forgotten by time, I think a weapon of your caliber deserves a little more appreciation. Lucky for you, as a master blacksmith, I'm around to help you out! Even sleeping weapons need to be cared for!
no subject
I cannot be reforged nor does the Master Sword require maintenance as other swords do.
[and she looks genuinely perplexed. More... Appreciation? Miller was in a similar way, the way he regarded like something worth admiring when she was performing as any other servant of the Goddess might. Before, she had spared it no thought (the Ancient Robot dubbed 'Scrapper' had also sought her approval, though she still did not know why) but now... Leaving that thought hanging made her feel uneasy]
no subject
At least you won't be lonely.
[He laughs and offers a genuine smile as he starts to carry her towards the Med Bay.]
no subject
[/blunt
But she settles into being carried with surprising ease (then again, she's probably more used to being carried around than your average lady)]
Lonely...? [as if she's unsure what that really entails] Though I do not believe that will be a problem either.
no subject
Well, not anymore it won't.
