Sept 23: No King Arthur Here

by **John Hino** » Wed Apr 08, 2015 8:13 pm

John walked out of the Point facilities carrying his magical large blunt instrument of doom slung over his shoulder. Stopping to admire Caledfwlch, he idly wondered what would happen if the sword and his tetsubo were pitted against each other.

He chuckled. "Who am I kidding, it's frigging Excalibur."

"Admiring someone else's weapon?" Melissa asked as she approached walking along the cliff.

"It's hard not to admire Excalibur. There's a purity and grace about it that my Onihasaiki lacks."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:22 pm

Melissa regarded the club for a bit. "It has a certain solidity and force to it though. And it's not necessarily a fair comparison to begin with."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:33 pm

"No. It isn't. Excalibur is a timeless legend crafted by a goddess... Onihasaiki is legendless, crafted by a demon from the Japanese underworld and only later re-purposed for good. I sometimes think I can feel the slumbering malevolence inside."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:43 pm

"That sounds like it has a legend of sorts. Maybe not as widely known as Excalibur's, but a legend all the same."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:51 pm

"Perhaps, if only known to a few. Though it's very much still in progress."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 2:53 pm

"And as a bonus, that one is yours, while there's a rumor that this one is sort of in dispute."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 3:05 pm

"I know. Professor Sackville is the one who taught how to use mine properly. He isn't exactly talkative, but believe me it came up."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 5:11 pm

"So in that respect, yours is superior to Excalibur," she said with a smile.

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 6:55 pm

"Who do you think settles supernatural property disputes anyway?" he joked.

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 7:07 pm

"There's probably some sort of supernatural court somewhere," she chuckled.

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:07 pm

"Judge Judy? Vampire."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:09 pm

"She certainly looks the part."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:17 pm

"So... what is it you're up to? Exercise or seeing the wonders of the dreary English coast?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:20 pm

"Just going for a walk before I have to spend a couple of days in London."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:45 pm

"Ahh. Nothing too stressful I hope."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:51 pm

"Gotta talk to some new financial guys, get some accounts turned over. Mostly formalities."

by **John Hino** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:54 pm

"I'd love if stuff like that was the biggest concern around here."

by **Melissa Castro** » Thu Apr 09, 2015 9:37 pm

"Yeah, there is life beyond super villains though and it keeps moving whether we want it to or not."

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:41 am

"Indeed. Though I'm not personally planning to make a career of fighting them."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:44 am

"I'm still a little undecided on whether I want to go back to that work myself. It's a hard life."

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:48 am

"Any idea what else you would like to do?"

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 9:53 am

"Honestly, no. If things continue to go well, maybe I could see myself managing the restaurant Gar wants to start one of these days, but I'm not quite willing to go all in on that yet."

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 10:27 am

"I'd say something about taking things slowly, but I'm hardly one to talk," he said with a warm smile.

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 10:36 am

"We've both got a lot of issues to sort through before we even open up that discussion," she said, chuckling.

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 2:00 pm

"Ah, baggage. The gift that keeps on giving."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 2:04 pm

"You never seem to be able to completely unpack it," she nods.

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 2:11 pm

"Just be thankful yours isn't full of spiders."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 5:57 pm

"I will certainly be thankful for that," she said, shuddering.

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 6:53 pm

"But hey, it got me this awesome flyswatter."

by **Melissa Castro** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 8:43 pm

"Or spider smasher as the case may be."

by **John Hino** » Fri Apr 10, 2015 8:53 pm

"Maybe it should be called Supaidakira instead," he smirked.

by **Melissa Castro** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 7:32 am

Melissa chuckled, "Probably best to stick with it's original name."

by **John Hino** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:22 am

"Though I suppose that would actually be whatever the demons called it."

by **Melissa Castro** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:26 am

"Which one?"

by **John Hino** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:40 am

"True. Who knows if the Oni my ancestor won it from hadn't taken it from something else."

He suddenly chuckled. "God... talking about this stuff as real is still really weird."

by **Melissa Castro** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 9:52 am

"It's definitely quite a hurdle to get over. Didn't get exposed to a ton of magic in Miami, but I did have to deal with some guy who thought zombies made great minions. Thankfully, he wasn't all the powerful."

by **John Hino** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 10:26 am

"Zombies would be terrible minions."

by **Melissa Castro** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 10:31 am

"I agree, but when you've got a little bit of power and villainous intent, you do what you can I guess," she said with a shrug.
