week 4

[airlockedmods]

[Just like the previous week the status quo is restored with frighteningly quick efficiency. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets. Even the glass roses Choromatsu and Takumi broke after the trial in their fit of anger have been replaced with fresh ones. All signs that there was anything amiss this weekend are completely gone.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

[what the hell though that's so cool]

Of course not--handing over the real thing would be too simple. [...he said, glancing to the ring on his hand.] Even as a model, it looks like it must be a magnificent weapon.

[His chest puffs up a bit]

It really is. And if they have the talent for it, and the bow approves, my son or daughter will wield it someday. My brother, Ryoma, has the sister weapon. The Raijinto. It's a sword- and the reason I even learned to wield one. I had it in my head that THAT was the weapon I wanted...

[He shrugs]

But... nothing could replace the Fujin for me. I can make this usable with Mai's power but it's not really the same...

Though, you mentioned Armiger... is that a weapon?

[scourgingstars]

That's quite interesting--I'm familiar with the idea of a weapon choosing or rejecting a wielder, though your methods sound a bit different than ours.

As to the Armiger, it's more an arrangement of them. The broad idea is that of manifesting weapons from thin air; it's how our entire army functions. We do have an armory, of course, but anything the Crownsguard would ordinarily carry is instead pulled from that space when it's needed.

[Ardyn gestured vaguely as he spoke, halfway resembling the motion of curling his hand around an invisible blade.]

For royals specifically, there's more to it. I am only the second king, but the general idea of it is that the descendants of the Lucian line can be given the skill and knowledge to wield their predecessors' weapons. I can manifest and use both my own sword and my father's, for example.

[things ardyn doesn't know: the armiger may be slightly more of an arsenal now]
