*Marla looks over calm*

You have way more experience..
I'm like 98... Time to learn.
*smiles*
Hand and a half sword probably a better choice.
Twin short is less effective.

OOC:
Back in 30 minutes. Eating

*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: Not for me. One sword defense, one sword offense. It's the most easily adaptable for me, and the short swords don't weigh me down, and are fairly easy to conceal.

*marla*
Prefer twin short.. But perfectly capable with hand and half. They a happy middle.

Any longer gets abit more clumsy on the two handers.
Bit too long.

Most imperial swords at size are on the heavy side.
Well for a regular human...

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Most of your weapons are flat out absurd. Chainswords? Really? I mean if you're just hitting un-armored foes sure but anything with armor...
*She shrugs*
Scatty: I saw the ancient versions of chainswords, they were called rippers and were essentially chain-knives. They worked very well against unarmored opponents, but less so against anything with armor

*marla* ok.. We have some odd weaponry...
Evicirators kinda bridge gap...
Two handed chainsword and power field...

Its a absurb galaxy to be fair...
And however absurb..silly and covered in skulls...

They work.

*Scatty shrugs*
Scatty: They could work better. That's for sure.
*She hops down from the weight machine, landing lightly and walking towards Marla and Freya*

*Marla*

Aye.. Maybe.
*helps freya up as polite and power armour makes it pretty damn easy. *

..

*Maria heads into main room and finds a good sofa*
Evening anyone...

*looks round quiet room And flicks on a rather bad movie because Marias movie taste is not the best*

*I gratefully accept the hand up*
Thanks. Getting up can occasionally be difficult in full armor, we Knights aren't so proud as to not accept a helping hand from time to time.
*I pull off my helmet and run my fingers through my matted hair*

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: I never really used armor. Even when I do it's not heavy like yours. It'd slow me down.
*She nods to Freya*
Scatty: Scathach the Shadow

*marla*

Aye... Full plate is not exactly light.

Powered systemes negate most of the weight... Its not subtle...
But its protection is near unrivaled.

Human terminator suits are nigh mythical..
*looks over at freya*

Terminator is the heaviest plate armour ever made...
Reserved for a warrior elite.

*I return the nod*
Pleasure to meet you. I'm Freya.
*I extend a hand*

*Scatty narrows her eyes slightly as she shakes hands then shakes her head*
Scatty: I thought for a moment- But no, couldn't be. Sorry. Anyways, you're a decent fighter. My sister uses a longsword similar to yours

*I cock my head*
Your friend Iris had a similar reaction, what's going on? Thank you for the compliment though, I'd hope that I'd be a decent fighter by now

*Kara nuzzles against Maiev*
K: Watching something?
*too tired to open her eyes*

*Scatty folds her arms over her chest*
Scatty: I knew of another woman named Freya, and it was ever so slightly possible you were her. Stranger Things have happened

*I nod softly*
I can understand that, sorry if I brought up a bad memory or something. I was just confused is all.
*I relax and shift my weight onto my back foot*

*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: Oh no, I barely even knew her. I think I saw her... once? Maybe twice? And from all accounts she was a nice enough person. But no-one's seen her in some time.

*Marla seems cheerful not fully knowing events*

Good draw Freya...
Il be in kitchen putting a pot of Tea on..

*heads out and meets yarl Agmar onnway*
*chats for abit before heading to kitchen with him*

*Maria heads off to sleep as she tired and hoes ro bed*

Really? What did she look like? Maybe she visited my world at some point.

*Scatty shakes her head*
Scatty: I'm sure we have some pictures, but there's no telling what she could look like if she visited your world.
See our kind go through a change as we age, that can make us completely physically different to how we were born. Iris didn't used to have skin that changed according to her emotions, and I was a brunette with normal teeth.
*She flashes her fangs*
Scatty: Still, if you want the pictures I can show you

*I appear a tad unnerved by the fangs but I hide it well*
I'll take a look at the pictures.

*Marla and space wolf yarl stood outside kitchen with Marla drinking her tea and space wolf a large ale*

*both seem relaxed discussing the room and yarl getting updates of Marla of events as they miss stuff*

*yarl gairlt relaxes with force axe on back and wepaons sheathed*

*Scatty nods*
Scatty: Alright, follow me.
*She leads Freya off into a very dusty section of the library, and starts flipping though old photo albums*
Scatty: Let's see... I know she's here somewhere...

OOC:
Back in 20 minutes. Showering

*Marla bids yarl goodnight and heads to bed with milo and has some fun with the handy soundpoofing*

*goes to sleep rather happy a good while later*

..

*yarl heads back to hall in clear view of Freya with a large axe and clearly visible chapter symbols and runes*
*space Vikings look viking because knights love Vikings lol*

Ooc night.

*I stiffen slightly at the sight of Yarl but say nothing*
*waits patiently for Scatty to finish her search*

*Scatty shouts out*
Scatty: Aha! Here we go!
*She points to a picture of a tall woman with long dark red hair and bright blue eyes. She's wrapped in the furs of typical nordic/viking fashion and is holding a spear. She stands next to a large man with a grey beard and a eye patch, also wrapped in furs and triumphantly kneeling next to a massive boar he's obviously just killed*
*Several women in armor stand in the background, not paying attention to the photos*
Scatty: Let's see... yes was taken in a hunt in Altenheim. That's Freya there, next to her Uncle Odin... and several Disir in the background, Valkyries.
*Her tone as she mentions the Disir in the background changes to one of disgust*


OOC: My obsession for pronunciations requires me to do this
Disir
Dee-see-er

*I take the photo album and study it intently*
*my breath catches and my hands begin shaking softly*
*in a whisper*
What???

*Scatty frowns*
Scatty: Freya? Are you alright?
