Mura's Forge

...Funny. You don't seem to mind putting your hands on others' things yourself.

-A translucent blue sword flies out from the shadows, embedding itself right at Mura's feet-

...

(gives a wry chuckle, putting a hand on her hip)

Yamato, right?

I'm impressed you know the name.

-The source of the thrown sword steps into view-

-Hard to tell what part of him screams "Villainous" more: the slicked-back hair, the blue coat, or the unpleased expression on his face.-

-He holds out his hand, gesturing-

I'll be taking it back, now.

(without missing a beat)

Sure, I don't really care for it.

(removes the sheathed Yamato from her weapon rack before tossing it underhand at the man's outstretched hand)

-He catches it, unflinching, and lowers it to its side-

Good. No time wasted.

-He half-draws it from its sheath, inspecting the blade, before re-sheathing it and looking back up at her.-

Now....Tell me how you know this sword's name.

Psychometry. I wanted to check if it was safe to hold on to - you know those tales about katanas that possess their wielder, right?

#1320932: Jun 21st 2018 at 3:55:25 PM

Psychic power...

-He eyes her forge-

...So, a demonic blacksmith? Another pawn of the Prince of Darkness, perhaps...

...Meh. I think Ozzy Osbourne's overrated.

(shrugs)

And I try not to make too many swords if I can help it. This place's quaint enough despite the mayhem, I'd rather not ruin it by handing out weapons like candy.

...

-He's clearly unamused by the joke. Beyond his previous unamused look, even.-

-Seems there's a version of his brother in every dimension...-

-He looks toward the weapon rack, turning to face it-

...And what weapons do you keep tucked away, here.

Really? Those over there—

(cocks her head towards the weapon rack)

—are just ordinary katanas. They can't cut through space and time, if you've been wondering about mugging me for them. Oh, and I've got a suit of armor over there, though I don't think he'll like it if you tried stealing him.

(Geki is watching Vergil carefully, making sure he doesn't step too deep into the smithy or get too close to Mura for comfort)

#1320936: Jun 21st 2018 at 4:35:27 PM

-He eyes the armor, like a quiet beast gazing at an animal encroaching on its territory.-

....Armor doesn't suit me.

-He looks back at Mura-

Tell me of your creations that you don't put on display...

I'm afraid I can't do that. Again, not interested in freebies.

Don't take me for lowly thug.

-He puts the tip of his sheathed sword to the ground, resting both hands atop the hilt-

You were cooperative in returning what was mine. As a courtesy, I am willing to bargain with you for what is yours.

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1320939: Jun 21st 2018 at 4:49:13 PM

Thanks for the courtesy. But, again, I'll have to politely refuse. It's more a personal code than anything else.

(kneels down to withdraw the blue blade embedded in the ground, the one Vergil threw)

Besides, the ones you already have aren't bad. I'm sure you'll go a long way with them.

(then, she stands back up and twirls it around a bit in her prosthetic hand, before offering it to him hilt-first)

(even if she's certain it's a phantom sword that'll vanish into mana once its role is done, she figures the gesture won't hurt)

-His expression grows more stern (if that's even possible) as he eyes the spectral sword being handed back to him-

....Power hidden away is wasted. It should be used productively. For a just cause.

-He looks up at her, dead in the eye-

If I am to accomplish my goal, I need more power. If you will not show me what you possess....then I'll force your hand.

-Mura can feel the energy within the phantom sword suddenly grow volatile and unstable....-

-It's going to explode!-

foxmccloud4387 Since: Mar, 2011
#1320941: Jun 21st 2018 at 5:42:55 PM

...

(Mura heaves a Deep, Exasperated Sigh, as her Servant garb materializes around her and a blood-red katana materializes in her left hand)

Fine. But if we're going to do this, let's take it outside.

(and in the blink of an eye, she lunges forward towards Vergil, thrusting at his chest)

Juuchi Yosamu!

(whether or not Mura's thrust connects or is parried away, something is certain... space is warping around her and Vergil)

(they're not in the basement anymore, but rather by the lakeside!)

(right as soon as this warp finishes, Mura tosses the about-to-explode sword into the lake so it can detonate with minimal damage to the surroundings)

....!

-Vergil draws his sword in the blink of an eye to clash against the incoming thrust, glancing around at the warping space, and the sudden change of location-

....Well....Look at that. You were hiding something special.


-Cori hears a loud SHUNK, and then a small whistling noise, and feels a sinking sensation-

-.....Well, it seems someone's thrown a glowing sword into your floatie. That's incredibly ru- -

-boom-

(smirks, as she puts both hands on Juuchi Yosamu's hilt and keeps up a blade lock with Vergil)

Like I said, it's not for sale. Think of it as a self-defense tool against people like you, if you get what I—

(in the middle of her banter she summons two flying, non-blood-red katanas a couple meters above Vergil's head, which fly towards him tip-first)

-and as she goes splashing down into the lake-

-Sploosh-
