//Weapon master. Kusarigama.

Send “Weaponmaster” and a Weapon  –  My muse will analyze that weapon and say what they like/dislike about it and if they’d use it or not.

 She appears at least a little visibly excited as she recognizes the type of weapon, a smile spreading across her face. “A... Kusarigama, right?” pronouncing the name slowly as she tried to remember when she last heard of such a weapon.

  “Leo uses one of these, last I remember. Interesting to see it come to my table.” A faint air of sorrow tinges her mood- when was the last time she saw Leo? Shaking off the thought, she moves on to pick up the weapon, assessing it and trying to dredge up what knowledge she held on their use.

  “Personally, I quite like the idea of the Kusarigama, and in trained hands it is a fully capable, deadly weapon,” she remarks. “My hands are not among that category,” she jokes, grinning as she returns the weapon to the table, hands moving a little reverently, with respect for the weapon and the associated memory. “Bonus points for being kinda flashy. Fancy ninja weapons and such.”

“I can’t think of something I dislike about Kusarigama off the top of my head, exactly.”

“As for if I’d ever use one? In my current state of training on the matter, no, I would likely cause more harm than help. If we speak as if I had received training in their use... probably still not. I have great respect for the weapon and its users, but it is not really my style.”

Weaponmaster - Keyblade from final fantasy

Send “Weaponmaster” and a Weapon  --  My muse will analyze that weapon and say what they like/dislike about it and if they’d use it or not.

  She regards the small spread of Keyblade replicas presented to her with some intrigue, and a little confusion. She doesn’t seem quite sure which to even pick at first, running her fingers lightly over some of the more elaborately designed blades before finally settling upon the simplest of them.  She lifts it, shifting her grip upon the handle a few times and hefting it, testing its weight. She scowls slightly as she does all this, seeming to be thinking.

  “Well... It’s not a bad weapon, per se... I suppose, for pros I could say it has good weight to it, it’d do in a pinch and you could certainly knock someone’s head off with something like this. They also are very elegant weapons, in some of these cases.”

  “For Cons,” she starts, “And this may be more my opinion than straight up fact-- They seem a little unwieldy. The grips seem a little awkward with the guards positioned as they are if one intended to use the key’s teeth to strike. Following that, the name keyblade is a little misleading as these do not appear to really be blades at all. Certainly a blunt strike force weapon, like a bat or club? Personally I would prefer either of those in a fight, though I suppose the real deal with keyblades is their powers, right?”

  “Keyblades. Passable, but not a weapon of choice.”
