You could probably try to melt or burn them off. Or wear them off, if you wanted less resistance. [ beat ] Though with the way things are here, I'm not sure if it would be a permanent solution, or if the knife would - I don't know, melt as well.
[ chang geng is not putting it past this place at all. he reaches and pulls out his own knife from his belt, having wrapped it once with a dirty cloth to keep it from cutting himself or his things. ]
Steel said - it was the best they could give us. All they were allowed.
Stickers came from the others, though. [ vax snorts a little at that, because it was kind of funny. ] I'll get used to it - just a little more colorful than expected.
Your thing was a dart, yeah? You any good with throwing weapons?
Apparently they weren't expecting people, so it's interesting that was what they were "allowed."
[ :thinking: what's their limitations, and what's causing them..? very interesting. but the questions shift his attention, as he unwraps the knife. ]
It was a dart knife, in another life - loaded into a wrist guard's mechanism. More of a keepsake, now, since the edges are no longer sharp. But even though I've been trained in various weapons, I prefer the bow and the sword.
anyway that sounds super cool, actually? he's into it. vax pulls his knife back from the tree and takes a step back again, absently flipping it in his palm just because he can. ] My sister's an archer. [ so. respect! ] Sounds useful, though. Wouldn't have taken you for much of a fighter, mate - no offense.
Just an observation. It might not even be anything.
[ it's probably something and chang geng will not forget it.
waiting for vax to have his lisa frank knife again, he gauges the weight, then pulls his arm back and whips it forward. it's a little off center, and a little too low, but it does hit the tree in the range of where vax was throwing. he frowns at it. ]
None taken. If most people assume that I'm a pacifist doctor, rather than anything else, it tends to benefit me in the long run. Especially since I don't have a bow, and only some improvised weapons in lieu of a sword.
Hmm. Not bad for a beginner. [ this is a little playful, actually, a bit teasing; he shifts, pushing his hands into his pockets to watch. ] Try releasing it a second earlier to compensate for the handle.
