[hackberrydragon]

Posted: May 3
From: EnoT

Seeing as we're from different times and places (at least that's what I think), I'd like to ask if anyone can tell me anything about this sword. (see enclosed attachment)

It just showed up in my room today, stuck in a stone. I also might need some help getting it out. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks.

. . . Good idea.

Want me in your room now?

[hackberrydragon]

[ He nearly dropped his phone with how bad that sounded in his head. ]

Sure.
The sooner we get it out the better.

[wadoichimonji]

be right there.

[Which means Zoro takes half an hour before he opens the door to Eno's room, without knocking or anything, smiling as he entered the room.]

You should stop moving rooms, I openened like five doors trying to find you.

[hackberrydragon]

[ Have an apologetic little grin back. ]

I know... it's been a month and I still can't decide. A... anyway. Maybe this one's going to be the last.

[ And motioning to the rock with the saber. ]

Well. There it is. Let's get it out front before we crack it open.

[wadoichimonji]

[Zoro nods, understanding.]

Good... It looks like you claimed your place already.

[He looks at the rock, head tilting to the side.]

That looks ridiculous.

[he walks up over to it, examining it, a frown on his face.]

Doesn't seem so heavy.

[He stretches, his neck cracking and he smirks.]

I'm sure I can pick it up, but you'll have to guide me.

[hackberrydragon]

Kind of.

[ There's a small sheepish smile there. He still can't decide if it would be best to stay near Sheryl's room for protection or near the door so he can intercept any potential prowlers but for now, this room which is an equal distance from both will do.

He pauses though the minute Zoro assesses the rock. ]

You can?

[ Wow. That's pretty impressive. But catching himself though. ]

Uh... s... sure! No problem. Be careful though.

[wadoichimonji]

[Zoro's room is close to the door, because it's the first one he saw. He doesn't think so much about these things.]

Absolutely!

[He bends his legs down, and pulls on the rock, picking it up, making all the muscles on his body tense up.]

It's not as heavy as it looks actually.

[He laughs, face covered by the rock.]

Now be my guide!

[hackberrydragon]

[ Well fancy that... maybe it isn't so bad. ]

Well... okay. Just don't overdo it. Or get the part that sticks out into anything breakable.

[ The last thing they want is for Sheryl to assign them extra gym duty because they broke a window. But he hurries out of the room, making sure the door's wide open. ]

Okay. Just keep heading forward, you're doing fine. Can you follow the sound of my voice?

[wadoichimonji]

I'll try not to!

[He dos only to remember Eno can't see him afterwards.]

Yeah, I hear you perfectly.

[He moves slowly, never taking his eyes off the sword sticking out.]

Tell me when to stop too.

[hackberrydragon]

Don't worry about it. I'll look out for you.

[ At least the front isn't so far away. Mental note: this room has its benefits. Maybe he'll keep this one. ]

We're almost there... mind the doorframe.

[wadoichimonji]

[Zoro nods, not like Eno can see it, but he does it anyway.

And then turns left.

And keeps on walking.

Far away from the exit.]

[hackberrydragon]

Uh.. Zoro....

[ He's now standing a little past the door, staring as he walks off. ]

You're... it's over here...

[wadoichimonji]

What?

[He turns around, looking at Eno.]

Why you move that way?

[He turns around, shrugging, rock moving with his movements, putting the sword dangerously close to the wall.]

[hackberrydragon]

Because the... door's... over...

[ Stammering, near panic when he realizes where Zoro's heading. ]

Take it easy! Th.. the wall!

[ Good thing they're almost there. ]

[wadoichimonji]

The door moved.

[Maybe a bad time to figure out Zoro has no sense of direction.

He moves the rock slowly, away from the wall, nodding.]

What if I drop it when I get outside? It might break.

[hackberrydragon]

[ Definitely a bad time... but hey, better late than never. He's just... not gonna comment at the door moving bit.

Instead, there's a small smile as he holds on to the rest of the rock. At least this way, he can still steer, right? His innate 'radar' will probably be enough to steer them. ]

It might actually not be a bad idea. I mean... the whole point was to break the rock, right?

[wadoichimonji]

[Please guide him Eno, or Zoro will end up somehow inside the house again.]

Ok, find a spot where I can throw it against and i'll do it.
