"I found the actual combat skills displayed recently at these so-called persona fights somewhat lacking. You may understand how to use your sorcerous.... things, but if you need to learn how to fight with bullet, blade, mind and hand, seek out Cerberus. I shall instruct you on how to not completely embarrass yourself when asked to fight."

I have been a warrior of the line for 200 years. I intend to teach them.

[otakuro]

That's probably a good idea, but... You have to fight to your strengths, right? I don't think we're really suited for your style. It might help if you had someone to help out who was a little more...

[He refrains from saying 'normal-sized' but the meaning is probably clear.]

I mean, fighting when you weigh 500 pounds is a little different than fighting when you're a five foot teenaged kid.

I spent 50 years teaching teenagers and younger the basics. We call them aspirants, as implantation must take place before maturity. I know how to teach youths.

I feel like I'm going to regret asking what 'implantation' means in a few seconds.

[greyerrant]

Implantation of the 19 organs that it takes to transform a human into a member of the Legiones Astartes, like myself.

[A vaguely horrified scratchy sound ensues from the back of Atsuro's throat.]

Trust your instincts, Atsuro. Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answers to, Atsuro.

[greyerrant]

Something wrong?

[otakuro]

Oh. Nothing. You're fine.

[Except that you have 19 extra organs?!?!]

I, uh. Yeah. So. Training. Great good luck I'll see you around.

[greyerrant]

Very well.
