[the opening of the message sounds surprised, like she wasn't expecting it to work]

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's missing 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]

[Darin waits patiently for Fi to start walking, and when she does, he walks with her at a pace that matches her.]

[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.
forgeabettertomorrow: (Ehehehe well...)

[Darin meets her gaze with wide eyes; a mixture of shock and fascination welling in them.]

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?
forgeabettertomorrow: (sure whatever you say)

[Darin was with her until that last bit. And to show as much, he gives her a face. He scrunches up his face and kind of rolls his eyes, because Darin is nothing if not a petty jackass about his trade.]

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.
forgeabettertomorrow: (I don't really get it but...)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-04 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Then...let me ask you this.

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?
forgeabettertomorrow: (Don't fail me now beautiful wings)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-04 06:35 am (UTC)(link)
That's...kind of a loaded outcome though, don't you think?

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.
forgeabettertomorrow: (come on trust me!)

[Darin considers this for a long moment.]

[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!
forgeabettertomorrow: (Back to my carefree days)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-04 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
You kidding me? I'm not going to reforge you. I want to learn from you! Besides, what have you got to lose?

At least you won't be lonely.

[He laughs and offers a genuine smile as he starts to carry her towards the Med Bay.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (come on trust me!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2016-11-05 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Any blacksmith worth his hammer wishes he could actually talk to the spirits of the weapons that they make. We could learn a lot from one another.

Well, not anymore it won't.
