[Voice] Shut Up About Swords

[myfayevalentine]

 Let it be known...

*Oh dear. Judging by the drawl of Faye's voice, she's a rather unhappy woman indeed*

..that if a person doesn't use a sword, or even magic, in a fight, that doesn't mean they aren't strong. A person can cause serious damage with a gun. Or a fist. Or a hard roundhouse kick to the face.

*There's a pause as Faye takes a rather frustrated drag of her cigarette, frowning as she breathes out smoke*

Equally, chaos can be caused without violence too. It's amazing what can be done with a pair of pretty eyes and a smooth tongue.

*Double entendre that last one, if you please...*

So. Don't forget the pain that a nice girl with a pair of guns can cause. It might land you in serious trouble.

*Oops. Sounds like Faye overheard two of her crew discussing the strength and power of the members of the Roses. And yet neither of them even thought to mention the woman on board who's a great shot. Hmmph*

Strong is pretty relative to what you have to use that strength against.

[Voice]

[myfayevalentine]

Exactly. Some people would do well to remember that. I'm not useless.

Re: [Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Did someone say that?

[makingfriends]

Well, yeah, that makes sense. Talent depends on the fighter, not the weapon.

Voice

[myfayevalentine]

You're absolutely right. And I have plenty of fighting talent.

Voice

[makingfriends]

It sounds like it. [Assuming the roundhouse and punching threats weren't exaggerating??] I don't know much about guns, but shouldn't they usually have an advantage over swords, anyway?

[voice]

[serving_love]

Is someone giving you shit, Faye-chan? Because I wouldn't mind helping you show 'em just how strong a kick to the goddamn face can be.

[voice]

[myfayevalentine]

Hmm, not so much as forgetting that I have any strength or skill to bring to the crew... I might wind up taking you up on that offer.

[voice]

[serving_love]

[Growls a little.]

That's just as bad! Fuck 'em, of course you bring strength and skill to the crew! There ain't many crews out there where people can get by without pulling their weight. Tch, sounds like they need to be taught a lesson.

[glyph_witch]

Did something happen Faye?

[Because people do not usually have these kind of outbursts for no reason, right?]

[myfayevalentine]

Yes, actually. Yes it did.

*She is too busy taking another deep drag of her cigarette to expand on that right now*

[song_princess]

Is there something wrong, my Lady?

.... What are guns? Are those the sticks that make loud noises?

[But okay she can kinda figure out what happened.]

I know that a few clans of my home, strength and how well you fight was more important then having a weapon.

[myfayevalentine]

*Faye just blinks a little at being called 'my lady' but she won't complain*

Sticks that - ? Huh. Right, yeah, those would be guns.

Well, apparently there are some people out there that need to think about that more carefully before they go ignoring someone's skills.

[song_princess]

I have always wondered what they were called, you have my thanks my lady.

Underestimating another's skill is a very foolish move that seems to be common.... Do you wish for a song?

[crankyshark]

[uh-oh, she's mad about something. Before even responding he took a minute to try to figure out if it was his fault or not. By the sound of it, someone had called her or her guns or her kicks weak or something. He couldn't recall saying anything like that. In fact he would readily admit it frickin' hurt to get shot by people or kicked by her. So this wasn't his fault right? Right]

Hey Faye, what's wrong?

[he didn't usually talk to her over the journal, so...]

I'll be back to the room in a minute if you wanna talk. Just putting fish away right now.

[myfayevalentine]

Oh. You remember I exist. That's nice.

*A snappy reply that might make him want to rethink about that. She'll be in the room anyway, polishing her pistols*

[action]

[crankyshark]

[Yep, it sure did. He still wasn't sure rigr away what he'd done, but after that reply he expect it was indeed his fault. His voice was a little more worried when he answered]

'Course I remember, Faye. I'll be right there.

[he quickly finished up what he was doing and headed to the room, opening the door a bit and poking his head in. It might be amusing his much he looked like a dog that knew it had done something naughty when she was mad at him]

Um, hi...

[hollywood_bro]

Shit. I guess that was pretty insensitive of me. It's not like I doubt what you can do with your looks, or your guns. Your skill with the canon is pretty awesome too.

I guess looks just aren't the first thing I think of when I think of weapons, but you're right. They can totally be deadly.

[myfayevalentine]

Insensitive? More like fucking ignorant. Forget the looks for a minute, okay? I have serious skill with a gun. Give me any kind and I'll shoot it with deadly precision. I worked fucking hard for that. And I've saved people's asses with it too. So you shouldn't be some damned quick to forget about me when you start boasting about your crew. I'm as much a part of it as anyone else, even if I don't use a shitty sword.

[vanitas_veci]

Wow, this world is full of whiners.

[myfayevalentine]

Damn straight it is. And we've all got a right to whine too.

[Voice]

[whitedragon_abs]

Yeah, swords are overrated!

[Voice]

[myfayevalentine]

Correct. Thank you.

[Voice]

[meatthefuture]

Yeah there's a lot of ways to be strong... Sometimes you don't even gotta be able to hit! [He's thinking of Rebecca when he says that.]

But there's a lot of things that won't work even if you think they should. [rests his chin on the snout of his dragon figurehead, the rest of him hanging off over the water] Cuz none of that stuff will work on me. It takes more than just weapons.

[Voice]

[myfayevalentine]

Right. Lots of ways to be strong. But when I do hit, it hurts.

More than weapons? What about magic? All these people going on and on about magic...

*Sigh*
