Is it normal for items to just 'show up'? When I woke up this morning there was a sword in my bed--stabbed through my bed next to my face. I'm fairly certain it's not my god's or his other shinki's.

... if you misplaced a sword in Ler's temple, I'd like to know why it had to be next to my face while I was sleeping.

[corvidiocy]

Trust me. It ain't me. You'd know if it was me.

[lightninglobster]

Well, that's... heartening.

[ Remind Ryoma to lock his door at night, Google. ]

[corvidiocy]

I didn't see anyone come in, either. Do you need someone to guard your window while you sleep?

[He's not offering or anything, but he might have a few ideas up his sleeve.]

[lightninglobster]

That's a touch drastic, don't you think? This is the first I've heard of such a thing happening, though I'm gathering that things like it happen at random.

[ One small bird vs the sword fairy: fight. ]

[corvidiocy]

I think attempted murder while you sleep is a touch drastic. It happening elsewhere is no excuse. That just adds more evidence for the possibility.

[Correction: Sword fairy vs. one small bird WITH A SWORD.]

[hakingitup]

Hey, princesses.

No one broke in and did anything. There's no need for guarding.

[lightninglobster]

[ WHO GAVE THIS BIRD A SWORD HE'S TOO DRUNK TO FIGHT RESPONSIBLY

also wow dad screw you you're not the boss of ryoma except you are ]

So we're calling 'stabbing a sword through a mattress' nothing?

I'm afraid to see what counts as 'something' to you.

I haven't done anything drastic enough to earn murder as a reprisal, all besides.

[corvidiocy]

Yeah. Having a broken sense of humor isn't a crime.

[He's a drunk BUT HE CAN DELIVER A BURN.]

'Sides that, what's this about weird things happening being normal? Is it the same with everyone?

[hakingitup]

It's not that it's nothing. It's that no one came in and did it. If Qrow didn't see someone, and I didn't see someone, there's a good chance there was no one who did it.

Weird things do happen. People have fallen asleep for long periods of time, and woken up with new memories. It's not impossible.

[lightninglobster]

[ He's gonna stuff Qrow into a box and toss him in the ocean. ]

For one thing, Qrow, my sense of humor is perfectly intact; I'm sorry my occasional foray into a joke is too hard for you to catch onto.

For another... swords don't just come out of nowhere. Neither would someone fall ill and suddenly remember some nuance that'd been taken from them. That's too convenient of an answer.

[corvidiocy]

Clearly not intact enough that you get my jokes, Ryoma.

[Thus is the difference between a Shinki used to technology and one who isn't. :|]

And I hate to say it, but I agree. That just sounds too easy to be real. Where's the catch?

[hakingitup]

Both of your jokes are terrible.

I've seen it experienced in someone who I trust. You're free to find others who have gone through the same thing if you doubt me that much.

[lightninglobster]

[ When the Google eats Qrow's soul, Ryoma will allow himself exactly one minute to laugh, and then he'll try to figure out how to get it back. ]

You've told a joke before?

And yours aren't better, Hak. It's not that I don't trust you--though realistically speaking, I shouldn't, I don't trust... anything, really. Too many things fall into neat little boxes that people just excuse and ignore. It's not wise.

[corvidiocy]

Yeah. It's called sarcasm. Google it.

[He'll eat the Google before the Google eats him.]

It's just asking questions. I can't sit here happily and not have any answers to anything.

[hakingitup]

[Oh my god, google isn't going to eat your souls. However, do not look up doggy style anything.]

I don't tell jokes.

Look. I can't tell you anything except my own experience. Feel free to ask others if you want more information.

[lightninglobster]

Do you not know the definition of sarcasm unless Google tells you what it is?

[ Good luck with that, birdbrain. ]

If you say so. What happened, in your experience? To whom?

[corvidiocy]

I know what it is. That was a suggestion for you.

Off that topic: I'm curious too. Wanna meet somewhere to chat so we can get off this damned thing?

[hakingitup]

Why, are you two planning on arguing in person too?

If so, let's meet for tea.

[lightninglobster]

I don't need Google to tell me what sarcasm is. If you do, that's your burden to bear.

I'm not arguing. [ Because he's not wrong. ] Where would you like to meet?

[corvidiocy]

I'm plannng to let sleeping dogs lie if this one's done being a sore loser.

[He wasn't arguing, either. Except he was.]

Just tell me where to go and I'll be there.

[hakingitup]

Here.

[Location for a tea place that Ryoma stopped by while avoiding Hak's halloween decorations.]

I'll see you there in an hour.

[lightninglobster]

There is nothing to be gained or lost in the capacity that we're using right now.

[ Also known as shut up you technology reliant bird when the robots come you'll be the first to die because Ryoma has a sword and can ride a horse. ]

Ah. The 'mall'. I remember how to get there, I think.

[corvidiocy]

[Hey, the bird needs no horse. He has wings.]

A mall? Nice. That'll stick out no matter where you are in the city.

[There were times when being familiar with technology helped. This was one of them.]

[hakingitup]

And we won't. Hopefully. Dress casually.

[Hak doesn't have anything but his robe, that's not the point, though.]

[lightninglobster]

If you insist.
