[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.

always good to have an option b if push comes to shove
so if it doesnt work we can fall back on the backup plan

[ironicusername]

Sure.
Though I don't think turning into an inanimate object when someone is in danger is a good impulse to cultivate until I can actually find someone to wield me.

[beatdownremix]

what about hal

[ironicusername]

Pretty sure he already has a prospective partner.

[beatdownremix]

prospective doesnt mean definite
and it never hurts to try it out
like i was thinking maybe i could give john a shot and maybe you too since hal mentioned it
i was actually wondering on the possibilities of seeing if someone could like have dual weapons or something

[ironicusername]

... Alright, sounds good.
Does your bro know what kind of weapon he is yet?

[beatdownremix]

nope
have full intentions of pushing him down the stairs when i get a chance to find out
he just doesnt know that yet
but from what ive heard my moneys on a badass hammer

[ironicusername]

Not what I would have expected, but sounds pretty sweet.

[beatdownremix]

yeah john kind of had no idea how to set up his strife deck so i helped him through it and got him to set it to a hammer
hes alchemized some pretty awesome ones so it could be any of them

[ironicusername]

Hm.
Maybe they will let you have two.
For the simple fact that a Strider without a sword has to be some kind of categorical impossibility.

[beatdownremix]

itd at least be worth looking into
probably a lot more complicated if it is possible but since when has that been a problem for striders

[ironicusername]

The designation of complex just made it about ten times more like that it's a thing I'll do.

[beatdownremix]

see normally id say that impulse right there says its something you shouldnt do but in this case im gonna let it slide
