[xue_yang]

Who: Xue Yang and OTA
Where: Training carriage
When: For the entire week after the new arrivals
What: Xue Yang has decided to experiment with his new swords and making up some new techniques. Experiments with fire and deadly weapons. Proceed with caution.
Warnings: Xue Yang may accidentally set something on fire.



Scenerio 1: Double blade
Xue Yang is currently seated in the center of the training carriage. Two swords on the ground in front of him, various tools whose soul purpose is for attempting to cut through steel and several pieces of paper that are very clearly talismans.

He picks up one of the swords and studies the hilt and handle, he then places it on the floor alongside the second one but going in the opposite direction. He becomes quite intent with taping the two together with what appears to be some sort of medical tape that he likely stole from the infirmary while no one was looking. Once he is content, he stands up and picks up the swords that are now stuck together to form one very long blade.

He tests the balance of it first and then starts to swing it around with the skill of someone who is very used to using a double ended blade. After a few moves he stops and looks at the connection.

"It's not strong enough with the tape..and also wouldn't be very quick to assemble when needed." Which is a problem when one is used to the sword simply transforming in his hand.


Scenerio 2: Talismans
Xue Yang picks up one of the blades and a talisman, moving a little bit away from the rest so that he doesn't accidentally light his entire set up on fire. He has two ideas to try and make this work and perhaps it won't work at all but he at least has to try.

He takes the talisman and with one swift motion, slides it along the blade as he attempts to transfer the fire onto the steel. The Talisman lights on fire but the blade does not and Xue Yang tosses it away quickly before he can burn himself. Failure one.

Next attempt he writes the talisman design right onto the blade. The fire lights up the sword and when he swings it as he normally would the fire doesn't appear to make things unwieldy, but it also doesn't go any further then the blade. Second attempt is marginally better then the first.

"Decent but not exactly what I'm hoping to achieve." Time to figure out plan three.

Comments

"You should just create your own entertainment then." Xue Yang certainly did that when he killed A-Qing on the train. Not that he particularly enjoyed the excitement that came after that.

"I have no interest in taking part of most group activities but there have been things that the other passengers have done in their spare time to keep their interests engaged."

Xue Yang by habit prefers to avoid large crowds.

"I study the things I pick up, and I've done a bit of cooking, you know that since you had the ramen and I've done a project for Roland, but apart from that." He sighed. It was mildly vexing.

He didn't like large crowds. "Sometimes I wander around and watch people do their training with weapons, like yours." Senku answered, not that he was desperate enough to try anything like that.

[xue_yang]

"Is there anything the train needs that you think you could build?" It's not like the train has everything that everyone could want and Senku knows at least some building skills. If there was something long term he could work on then it might alleviate his boredom.

[10billionpercent]

"I mean, sure. It would be nice to have more storage space in the sleeper carriages, or even shelving in the halls or something, we need more books but I can't just whip that out of nothing - oh, and the communication system we have that we rely on but the train might be listening on? That seems like a poor substitute for something we could do ourselves." Senku listed. "And Roland's asked us to come up with some signals in case the language translation doesn't work again."

He just had a lot of energy, and little to build with. "If I had a forge, I'd probably never leave it."

[xue_yang]

"Doesn't sound like you have much reason for being bored." He already has plenty of projects to be figuring out.

[10billionpercent]

He chuckled. "My mind is very active, I'll give it that, but I've got nothing to build with. That's why being on the train sucks the worst. I can't go anywhere and I can't get anything to do things with."

[xue_yang]

"And you can't just request the materials to create your own forge?" He's nearly burning down the training area, certainly a forge wouldn't be that frowned upon.

[10billionpercent]

"I'd be somewhat concerned about the heat generated from the forge and the lack of ventilation." Senku hummed. "Last thing we need is everyone asphyxiating. I can't imagine that'll win me popularity points."

[xue_yang]

"So you figure out a way to ventilate it. Isn't problem solving what you excel at?" He is smirking, teasing the other a little.

[10billionpercent]

He snickered. "Well I guess I can't argue with that. I'll have to think on it."

He stretched. "If you need help with anything else let me know. I'll do my best in my limited capacity."

[xue_yang]

He waves him off to go do whatever he needs to, "I think the rest I just need to figure out on my own. But at least there are some ideas I an try to put into place now."
