[The video switches on to show two color coded teens, one dressed in all red with a cape and awesome shades (with two bottles of apple juice, one in his hand and the other waiting at his side) and the other in all blue with a ridiculously long hood. The red one seems somewhere between totally chill and mildly unnerved while the blue one looks rather pleased and amused.]

Okay we've got a few problems here but the most serious one is someone please tell us we're not the only ones who can see that the sun is looking back at us. Is that like a sun or a giant rock with teeth waiting to eat us like wow that planet sure looks tasty better not eat the middle its too spicy but the north would be an awesome icy snack.

It's like big brother is watching you all the time. Or big sister. Is the sun a girl or a boy? Does anyone know?

[Dave stops to just stare at John for a moment, just giving him an 'are you fucking serious?' look.]

Dude, it's a rock.

But it has a face!

Male or female would imply it has reproductive parts and that's something I'd really rather not think of thanks. It's pretty creepy as is.

[John pauses with a thoughtful look.]

I wonder if the moon has a face. Maybe one is a boy and one is a girl and asteroids are their babies. I wonder if the asteroids have faces?

Wow. Ok, yeah. We're moving onto more important matters now, topic over.

[John rolls his eyes at Dave, he's no fun. He then turns back to the camera with an intrigued look on his face.]

What did that guy mean, I turn into a weapon? How can you turn into a weapon? I'm a human!

[Dave looks like he could care less, though there's a hint of curiosity there as he takes a drink of his juice.]

Yeah, that's pretty much all we need to know since the creepy dude filled us in on the other shit. I've got my AJ now, I'm good.

For once I am not capable of immediately supplying you with relevant job listings.
But I'm sure you'll find something cool.
I'll probably stick to killing shit and collecting the bounties.

[beatdownremix]

bounties sound pretty awesome just not a stable enough income for me to be totally chill with
but ill let you know when i get something worth mentioning
and when i get my hands on a weapon i can use too so we can knock out some of that shit together
how do you know if you can resonate with someone or not

[dialogical]

I've only tried resonating twice.
If you can't, you'll fucking know. I guess it feels like being electrocuted in your soul if there were a way to know what such a thing feels like before you've experienced it.
I haven't done enough research to get a firm grasp of what the necessary qualifies for soul resonance are, but there are some factors you can assume.
One, that ability to resonate or not is relatively specific to the person; since the connection involves a high level of empathy, I imagine those less prone to it will have a more difficult time.
Two, that basic resonance is not particularly difficult for some to achieve, but in order to reach a more precise and thus more powerful resonance, high levels of emotional bonding will be necessary.
Basically be prepared to get pretty fucking touchy-feely with whoever you choose.

[beatdownremix]

suddenly the prospect of getting stronger became just that much more difficult
im not really the touchy-feely type

[dialogical]

Well, you have the benefit of both your best bro and your AU bro being weapons.
It shouldn't be difficult to keep it in the family.

[beatdownremix]

guess youve got a point there
still kind of weird though but ill manage
might try them both out see what happens
go bug the fucks up at that school about the whole multiple weapons thing

[dialogical]

I haven't actually done the math but I find it statistically highly unlikely you could use both at once.
But I don't see any reason you couldn't switch off.
It seems to be a common enough practice for weapons to go on mission with meisters who are not actually their 'partner'.
So if you want an open relationship with both of them, I don't see why not.

[beatdownremix]

honestly im kind of nervous about trying with dirk
which is weird to admit to you too jsyk

[dialogical]

Understandable. He's an intense dude.
And you also pretty much just admitted it to him, since there's no way he won't read this.
If it makes you feel any better though, he hasn't even figured out how to transform yet.

[beatdownremix]

...how would you feel about helping me throw him down a flight of stairs
cause word has it thats a perfect way to transform
and i would get a small sense of satisfaction and accomplishment out of it

Re: private;

[dialogical]

I feel like I've been waiting all my life for someone to ask me that.
Hell. Fucking. Yes.

private;

[beatdownremix]

fuck yes
were doing this bro

Re: private;

[dialogical]

I warned him about stairs. He never fucking listens.

private;

[beatdownremix]

youre my new favorite person

Re: private;

[dialogical]

Sweet. Then I take it you wouldn't object to meeting up?

private;

[beatdownremix]

i've got plans to throw egbert down the stairs too but i guess they can wait

Re: private;

[dialogical]

Glad to see tinybro's always got his friends' interests as top priority.
I'm coming over.

private;

[beatdownremix]

wanna just meet on the roof?

Re: private;

[dialogical]

Ok.
Give me a head start though.
Or else ' meeting on the roof' becomes an awkward 'going to the roof together'.

private;

[beatdownremix]

k
also mission stairs just got near impossible
he knows
somehow i should have known better

Re: private;

[dialogical]

Which he.
Because I think you are underestimating the ability of two persons to pick up a third and just toss him down some stairs with or without the third party's prior awareness or consent.

private;

[beatdownremix]

he just gave me his consent
im not sure how i feel about that
like it doesnt feel like as much of a victory
but that doesnt mean im changing my mind
and by he i mean dirk

Re: private;

[dialogical]

Oh, I guess he's pulled his head slightly out of his ass then.
Sweet.
You should still do it.
But he's right, I didn't actually think it would work.
Dude is wound tighter than any of his robots.

private;

[beatdownremix]

how the hell is it im nervous as fuck talking to him and yet totally chill around you

private;

[dialogical]

It could be that I'm the superior iteration and one aspect of that is my latent ability to get along with individuals when I so choose while his is almost always to make people paranoid.
Or, and as is frankly more likely, though I don't hold it against you, you regard him as more 'real', and thereby closer to your guardian and whatever issues you have associated with him.
