That's right! Ah, it's such a relief to just say so now.
[he places a hand over his chest] This body is [his other hand goes over the hilt of the sword that's sitting at his waist] a manifestation of this body.
Huh...you know what, you might actually be onto something there, though. There's only one guy who wields that sword, so maybe it's like you and your...sword? Sword-body?
[ . . . hmm. buzen will just pat danny on the shoulder in sympathy]
That can definitely be a problem to deal with. I'm sorry to hear it, friend. I don't suppose they have onmyouji in your time? Or others who can help put unfriendly spirits to rest...

Oh, Dan-san...! [his name on his profile is daniel so this is what we get i'm shaking]
Can I ask what a Wis is? And why is yours 8?
no subject
Okay, first off? It's Danny. Not Daniel, and never Dan.
Second...I have no idea. [ squints at his own profile ] Something about wizards, maybe? ...Is 8 good?
no subject
I'm not sure! I think I saw numbers go as high as 20 and low as 2. I'm still not entirely clear on what they mean.
no subject
What about you? What's your wis-- [ checks his phone ] --14?! Oh, come on!
no subject
Hahaha, that's okay! I don't know if being wispy is going to help me much!
I have an 8 Int anyway.... So hopefully it's not too bad for either of us?

Maybe they're based on the typical human standards? If it is, then I'm not surprised this body was made to be a little bit stronger than that.
no subject
Are you saying you're not human?

In truth, I am a sword.

no subject
You've got it! Mostly this human body was summoned to complete missions, but my spirit belongs to this sword.
no subject
Yeah, okay. I guess that's not any weirder than a nightmare sword that teleports you instead of cutting you.
no subject
[ . . . ]
Wow, that's new. I haven't heard that one.
no subject
Yeah, if you got cut with it, you'd get sent to another dimension full of all your worst fears. Thankfully, there's only one of them out there.
no subject
That does sound unfortunate. It's not possible to cleanse the spirit of the sword to make it stop... doing that?
no subject
I don't think it has a spirit. It's just...wielded by one.
no subject
[though he shrugs, he's not sure how truth that is for other worlds]
Or maybe not. It sounds like spirits in your world have quite an interesting set of rules to exist by.
no subject
no subject
Maybe! Do ghosts just naturally exist like that in your world? They don't have to be summoned?
no subject
For us, though, we've got an artificial portal that's open like 24/7, so there's a lot more of them where I live.

Mischievous, huh?
[he doesn't sound surprised about that either]
