1st cut - Action; Outside Union

[revolutionista]

[Anyone outside or on the walls of the city early this morning will notice a stranger approaching the city. Heading from the woods, they're wearing a dark grey hooded cloak that hides their face rather well. They seem to be carrying a sword, as well as a lightweight-looking bag strapped to their shoulder.

They also seem suspicious.

When the person comes close enough, they briefly look up at the walls - if anyone watching is attentive enough, they might be able to make out the features of a girl - and smile, giving a small "hmph" of satisfaction. Finally here.

With that smile, the girl continues on towards the city gates.]

Let's see how much has changed here.

[Absol is on her way out of the city, preparing for an early-morning hunt in the nearby forest. As she approaches to pass this stranger, the glint of the sword catches her eye... as might the naginata brazenly wrapped across Absol's back.]

I'm sorry, somehow I never received the notification for this

[revolutionista]

[That does catch Satsuki's eye. In her memory, weapons were not too favoured in Union, even more so going around with one unconcealed. Has things changed that much here?

Absol might notice Satsuki stops to follow her with her gaze, at least for a little while.]

NP, I'm happy you replied. :)

[unreined]

[Absol certainly notices that she's being watched, and slows to a halt.]

... what are you looking at?

And then I was late again I am a loser

[revolutionista]

[Well, Satsuki doesn't seem to be too impressed by the semi-aggressive attitude.]

An unconcealed blade is a rarity in these parts... or used to be.

[unreined]

I can carry this wherever I want to. What about you? [She looks at Satsuki's sword.]

[revolutionista]

Did you threaten the guards into letting you carry it?

[She notices Absol's glance and runs her hand down Bakuzan's handle]

Bakuzan is one with me. I shall only lay it down of my own volition.

And now I'm the late one, sorry!

[unreined]

They knew better to try and take it from me. I could say this weapon is a part of me too.

It's okay, I also keep backtagging

[revolutionista]

[... Well, Satsuki can appreciate that. You get a small smirk, Absol]

I see... So you are a warrior, too. Few understand their bond with their weapon.

[unreined]

A warrior, huh? [She looks Satsuki up and down, assessing her strength.]

All the humans in this city are weird. Every Pokemon in the world has claws or teeth or something to defend themselves with. Humans should have weapons but a lot of them don't.
