[Cambot is floating at Terra's back while Terra seems to be hunched over working on something.]

Hold on just a minute...I need to put on the finishing touches.

[He works for a few more minutes, Cambot patiently waiting and, surprisingly, not peaking. Maybe Terra worked something out with the robot? Regardless finally Terra turns around, holding something behind his back. He now addresses Cambot/anyone watching]

It's been a few weeks since some of us got here and during that time I have been working on something I think some of you will like. I've made one of these before and it helped with my training. I knew it would take some time, but I finally finished it up today. See?

[He pulls from behind his back a wooden weapon, but not just any wooden weapon: a wooden keyblade that even has his name carved into it. He swings it once to get a feel for it, Cambot zooming out with the action.]

I thought that just because we might be stuck here doesn't mean we should let our skills slacken. So, I guess if anyone is interested, I was going to start having sparring sessions in the Recreation Deck....once the Temple Games are over anyway and we can access it again.

[Rests the keyblade on his shoulder] I was thinking of trying it out with that foam stuff next...I'm just not sure how to keep it from falling apart since the foam bats are usually not as sturdy or easy to carve.

That looks like the toy sword Ventus had...

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

You know Ventus? And, well, that's probably because I'm the one that gave it to him.

[beforethemoon]

I wouldn't say I know him. But I met him once. Lea tried to spar with him.

[punsofiron.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's pretty cool! I could probably use something to keep on hand, too. Can't be too careful around here, right?

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

Not after those mutant chickens I heard about.

[wavesinherheart.livejournal.com]

I'd spar with you, but I don't think I have the right weapon for it.

[Read as: she wouldn't mind having a wooden keyblade.]

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

That's not a problem Aqua...but...it might take me awhile.

[optimistickey.livejournal.com]

[Sora's eyes get really big...he's missed having his Keyblade, but he never thought to actually make a new one from what they had!]

Woooooah! That's a good idea, Terra! Can you make me one?

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

[smiles]

Sure. It will probably take me awhile though. This is only the second one I've ever made. Maybe once I get more practice with carving I can make them faster though.

[virtualunknown.livejournal.com]

...a big key?

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

A keyblade. [pause] Well, a wooden one.

[verygassy.livejournal.com]

That...is...











SO COOL! I'd love to practice with you!

[Oh oh wait wait! She turns half-way away from the camera, as if bashful.]

I mean, I'm sure I'm not the best at any real kind of fighting, but I have lots of energy and...and I'm sure you could help!

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

Hey, having a lot of energy is a good step, like stamina. I didn't know you were interested in sparring though.

[Namine speaks up a bit shyly.]

Ummm...If we don't know anything, would someone teach us? At least self-defense?

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

If you want to learn I don't see why not. I could probably show you some basic self defense.

[Xion's interest piqued.]

I wouldn't mind a chance to train a little.

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

Great. I'm glad people are interested. Is there anything specific you want to train with or just get more physical exercise?

[iamaman-punch.livejournal.com]

Not gonna lie - that's pretty cool.

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

Thanks. It's only the second one I've made and, well, the real thing is more impressive...but since I can't summon that here...

[itsjustthebots.livejournal.com]

...There sure are a lotta you guys around with those key-sword things, aren't there?

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

[ponders that] Hmm...I guess so.

The Master used to say there were more wielders, but most of them have been lost. There aren't that many left who can use them any more.

[blood-on-torfan.livejournal.com]

Y'know, I was thinking the exact same thing, but I didn't realize this place had a recreation deck. Good to know.

I'd be up for a few matches, though I'm not sure how to properly wield that weird sword-axe you have. I'll probably figure it out.

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

It has a few other interesting decks, you should explore the satellite sometime.

Well, I do know a little hand-to-hand if that is more your thing. Of course, I've also seen a weapons deck...I'm just not sure how effective the weapons down there are, they could be fragile or rusty or something.

Besides, it's only sparring so it's not like I want to hurt anyone.

[keeperonenya.livejournal.com]

[You have piqued Galadriel's interest.]

What an interesting weapon. I would be very interested in seeing it used, even if it is made of wood.

[eroded-earth.livejournal.com]

It's called a keyblade and it functions like a sword, at least, this one does.

[No sense getting into all the magical properties of the keyblade]
