<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka, suddenly. "Rei Lin?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] As Sheena Armstrong Tomoe Sounds goggry "Morning..."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Hello, Tomoe."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] As Sheena Armstrong Tomoe says, "Ren."

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Uh-ah? Wuah?!"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "I'm here!"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Rei Lin, what if I had a sword?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Rebound says, "You could theoretically cut things."

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Eur-- .... 'what if'?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Well, yeah."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "It just occured to me today. What if I had a sword?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "What kind of sword do you thik I would have?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "What kind of sword... for what purpose? Y'r build's not the best for two-handers, you like your mobility... something light. Something with finesse! Something single-edged, slight curve... or maybe thin, double-edged, built for thrusting. Don't have words for those, only seen them..."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Rapier, perhaps."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "No, it's just... talking to you yesterday made me think of something. Do you mind if I let my mind wander?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Sure?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Rei Lin... you're from a world where the Solar Exalted aren't... a respected and essential part of society, I presume. Moreover, you're hated and hunted. Right?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin affirmative grunt. "Been keeping it a secret... not sure how much longer that'll last. Or when those hunters'll come."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "The fact that you can't remember some things..."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Is that the way it is, for all these Solars in the multiverse? Reincarnations of people who've already died once, twice, lots of times?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "How am I supposed to speak for all Chosen in the Multiverse?!"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "I guess that's fair. I was just wondering out loud, if anyone else wanted to chip in."

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "You have some thoughts about it...?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "I just thought. Maybe somewhere out there, Rei Lin, you already have a sword." < X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Wh-... hah? ... that... good thing, or bad? Uh... hm."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Well I guess it depends. Maybe I've got a sword out there somewhere. That's what I thought about."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "But how much of it's yours and how much is the person you used to be?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Don't... know... what you're trying to say. Is this...philosophy or flirting?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka laughs!

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Ah, it's good to see that I can still say things and get them ever so slightly but incredibly wrong."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "I was just wondering. You were trying to make yourself a sword, but somewhere out there there might be some axe or some daiklave that a 'you' had."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Would you want to seek out something like that?"

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "You mean... who I was before."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Yeah."

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Of course. If I had any idea where!"

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Hm. That's interesting. I don't think I would."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] Ren Tanaka says, "Well, if you ever remember where you left your sword, I could give you a hand."

<X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Right! I'll... remember that."

<X-Union-Chatter> [A] As Sheena Armstrong Tomoe says, "You have my sword as well Lin." < X-Union-Chatter> [7] Karal Rei Lin says, "Appreciated! get the feeling I'll need the help one day."
