{ANOTHER RESERVED POST}

As Ribbon places her whip on the anvil, Joro crawls from a hole, yawning. Seeing the demon, she offers her a smile and skitters up to the anvil, taking the whip and examining it.

"Hmm... A pretty weapon for a pretty lady." She says, "Whips aren't hard to reinforce, that can be done quickly."

She pulls some fabric and leather out from a few of the worktable's draws and works her magic. She seems to spin it with glowing threads.

Not long later, she turns to Ribbon and hands her the new, reinforced whip! With a wink, of course.

"Come back again some time." She chuckles.

"Ah, to be donned in iron, a well chosen pursuit. A way to become something greater than one's own self. Protection, defense, ease of continuation at your fingertips. The Ironclad skill is something good, my friend, especially clad in metal as your head seems to be. But ah, how rude of me to jabber on. Please, take care to not lose your way. Even iron can be melted in the heat of battle. Don't be too cocky and all should be well." Hakama says, flicking some sort of talisman in Helmet's direction.










Joro watches Helmet get the rest of his improvements, and as he approaches her with his weapon and places it on her table, she gives him the expression of the most tired woman in existence.

"Sir, this is a stick." She states, "You take me for a fool."

As he stares at her, walleyed and confident, she picks the stick up and reinforces it with her thread before tossing it at his head.

"Get out of my face."

"Hm. Shoddy weapons at best. At least you came to me to improve such mediocre work." Joro said with a snort.

She worked her thread into the blades to reinforce them before sharpening them on her iron. Her work seemed awfully passionate.

"At least they're not that dumb neon blue." She laughs as she tosses them back to the two Angels, "Have fun splitting heads."



Kon Kon watched the two approach them with what seemed like a blank, mildly amused look on their face before laughing.

"Oh, it seems Joro really put your prides through the ringer." They laughed, floating toward the two in a sort of skip. They poked Monocle on the head, "It's going to take a lot more than 'Abs of Steel' to make you look like a man, shortstack! Hohoho!"

They did a spin and the two were hit with a few floating orbs. Monocle would feel a burning sensation, then a cool feeling wash over him.

"At least you can't feel the burn anymore, right shorty~? Hoho!"






"With skill and tact, you must use your blade. To have precision such as this, your path will be made." Hakama hummed as he rummaged through his bag of tricks, "Jikufurito is a testament to these. Of course, one could always simply practice, but a talisman is quite useful."

He dropped the talismans in their hands and pushed them slightly toward the door.

"Now get out, Joro looks hungry."

Clearly not pleased by the way Ruka had asked, Joro made some kind of chittering hiss.

"Were it not for the laws of this land, I would have slain you." She grumbled, taking his weapons. Her eyes glowed with clear malice, but she disappeared into her spider hole with his weapons. There was a lot of slamming, some sizzling, the sound of blade sharpening, and some angry muttering from the Yokai.

She tossed the blades out of the hole and they stuck into the ground in front of Ruka, still sort of hot.
"THERE." She yelled, "Sharpened, Heated, Longer. You can also shoot things with it. The total is 140 Rep. Now fuck yourself with them."

This was, in effect, also all said in Japanese.






Kon Kon seemed to have been giggling the entire interaction with Joro. Their tails swishing as they began to look through the box. They tossed a few things around before finally finding the orbs and tossing them to Ruka.

"Yes, yes. All the elements for one man. You must fear natural disasters." They chortled, "Go on now, have fun setting yourself on fire to prove a point. Just gimme the 160 Rep.







"Send the pain back from whence it came, surely the price to pay for those who tarnish your name." Hakama said, tossing the medallion at Ruka, "What a bargain. Only 70 Rep to harm your foes, but be wary that it only works when at half your heartiness. That's just how it goes."

Were his rhymes lame? Probably. But they did the job.
