Hey, I was wondering... has anyone tried requesting weapons, yet?

[Someone had been thinking lately, and he was curious if he should bother trying to get his bow and arrow set back again.]

	Not that I am aware of, but it does not make it impossible. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	No. I suppose not. I know that, since we're no longer technically in league with the Wardens, we don't get any special priviledges like before. So I was just curious if anyone's gotten enough rehab points to pull it off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	peacefulunrest 2013-03-03 09:28 pm UTC (link)
	I have not heard of anyone asking just how many rehabilitation points it would require, either. There is likely some catch to it, as well, if the wardens previous actions are anything to go by. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I would imagine. Some sort of extra monitor or something, like I've heard about marriage licenses. Would you request anything in particular? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have no need for weapons. My skills are more useful without them. Have you thought of seeking someone to make one? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	streamofthesky 2013-03-05 04:12 am UTC (link)
	I've thought about it. I'm not sure if I could use it fully with my abilities, but it would better than nothing. I could probably figure out how to make one as well. [Or he could ask Artemis if she'd ever made one before. He'd been impressed by her skill at the fair.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've skill as a weapons maker? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	streamofthesky 2013-03-05 04:37 am UTC (link)
	Not as a trade, but I learn fast. [He could probably figure it out easily enough.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good weapons aren't made so easily. Although if you could get the correct materials from the wardens in place of an actual weapon, it may garner less attention. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	streamofthesky 2013-03-05 04:02 pm UTC (link)
	No, they're not... but sometimes it's better to have something than nothing. And it'll definitely be less noticable if I requests the pieces individually than the whole thing in one shot. [He looked thoughtful.] Have you made any weapons? [Not using them was one thing. It didn't mean someone didn't make them.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	peacefulunrest 2013-03-05 04:25 pm UTC (link)
	Once or twice. Knowing how a weapon is made provides better insight on keeping up their maintenance. [Being a ninja means knowing how to kill people in a lot of ways. Weapons are a given.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Touma was now even more interested.]

That only makes sense.

[Granted, with magically summoned weapons with special powers, it wasn't often that maintenance was required, but it would be good to know anyway.]

Do you mind giving some tips and pointers?

[Not necessarily over the network, for obvious reasons, but he was up for meeting in person with someone else who was skilled in things like weapon making and martial arts. Touma'd already been to the defense training classes and was a fighter himself. It was a respect for the craft thing.]

	peacefulunrest 2013-03-05 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	If you like. [Not that he would have given the information over the network anyway, even on a filtered channel.] Meet me at the training fields within the hour. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	streamofthesky 2013-03-05 08:21 pm UTC (link)
	Right. I'll see you there. [At least they were on the same wavelength when it came to the communicators and sharing information. Without another word, because the idea of learning new things and doing something constructive was too alluring to be bothered with pleasantries, Touma disconnected and headed on his way.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Itachi is there, sitting easily on the ground beside a few items. They might seem kind of innocuous to some, but he will explain once Touma arrives.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He was a bit longer after Itachi than he had wanted to be (he had hoped to either be early or get there at the same time), and he paused at the door for a moment, looking bewildered and baffled. Not only had he been fighting his way there through gang riddled china-town style ghettos, but now the athletic center looked like some sort of training compound?

At least, it seemed to... for Touma.]

	[For Itachi it was a forest. A beautiful clearing with sun shining down and the sun of birds singing playfully in the distance. There were even a doe and a bunny conversing at one end of it. He's making an effort not to react to the strangeness of it or his rather...absurd apparel.] You took less time than I expected. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	streamofthesky 2013-03-06 04:56 am UTC (link)
	I thought I took more. It felt like every corner I turned, I ran into some crazed martial arts gang that wanted to beat me up. [He frowned. The objects around Itachi looked like weapons already. Maybe he was going to take them apart?] I've been kind of off the network for things other than my question earlier. Have you noticed anything strange today? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	peacefulunrest 2013-03-06 05:00 am UTC (link)
	Gangs? [How odd.] I take it you mean besides the talking animals and disturbingly upbeat music that I cannot find the source of. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Out of animals, I've only seen a couple of nasty looking fat rats, and none of them talked.

[He quirked an eyebrow.]

I'm going to say it's pretty safe to assume something's going on really weird.

[He just hoped this wasn't going to turn out the way he thought it was... with some ninja assassins coming in to kill all the martial arts academy students, leaving the protagonist and a couple of friends to fight their way out to survive.]

	Then you missed the chorus of chipmunks and squirrels. [He's very deadpan about it, because it's a bit annoying, but not enough that he thinks it can hurt him.] Someone is distorting the visual reality that we see. If you cannot see it, then it is likely unique to each individual. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Well, it wasn't a first in Touma's experience, so at least he knew it was an illusion. But, it felt pretty real, especially when he had to fight a few people to get through.]

That's pretty likely. I think I'd rather have talking fluffy forest animals than china-town thugs, though.

[He gave Itachi a wry smile and then joined him.]

Hopefully, we can pull this off without too much interruption.
