Does anyone know where I can get supplies for sword maintenance? Specifically a katana type of blade.

You won't find much of that here.

[eggplantallergy]

Hmm...is there not even a blacksmith?

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

There's a shop in Balamb that does upgrades. You'll need the materials with you if you do go.

[eggplantallergy]

Upgrades...I'm...not sure if I'm willing to go that length, but if they could do a simple maintenance, that would suffice. Thank you for the advice!

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

They probably do.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

I have only a few.

[eggplantallergy]

I couldn't possibly bother you, then, if you have only enough for yourself...

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

No big deal. If this 'school' doesn't have any, then we use what's around.

[eggplantallergy]

In that case...would you be willing to teach me how to it? I've never actually had to do it myself, but since I'm stuck here, I can't ignore its needed maintenance...

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

... Why don't you know how to?

[eggplantallergy]

By saying I'm a pacifist would only create more confusion.

...but I am.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

... Right.

[eggplantallergy]

...does this mean you'll not teach me?

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

... Fine.

But only how to care for your sword.

[eggplantallergy]

Thank you very much! Just say when is a convenient time for you, and I'll do my best to come.

[swordbitch.livejournal.com]

Fine.

[fierybluebird]

Sorry, not a swordsman, eh. Can you just get a new one?

[eggplantallergy]

...no. I could never do that.

[fierybluebird]

Why are swordsman always so particular?

[eggplantallergy]

...I'm...not technically a swordsman...

[fierybluebird]

So what's the big deal about the sword then?

[eggplantallergy]

It's...a long story. But the main point is...it was left to me in a will.

[fierybluebird]

Oh. Completely understood then, eh.

I don't know if they have anything like that easily, but good luck. What happened anyway?

[eggplantallergy]

Thank you. Nothing happened to it, but...it's been a long time since it was last sharpened, oiled, etc.

[fierybluebird]

Oh well they have weapons training, so they must have that kind of thing. I thought you meant to repair pretty heavy breaks and stuff.

[eggplantallergy]

Hopefully.

[fierybluebird]

Want me to go take a look?

[eggplantallergy]

*blink* You...would do that?

[fierybluebird]

Yeah, why not, eh?

[eggplantallergy]

I'd appreciate that. Is there a convenient time and day for you?

[fierybluebird]

Oh hell, I'll go now. Not like I'm doing much today. No classes and I need something to keep my mind off of shit.

[eggplantallergy]

...you sound like it.

Where would you like to meet?

[fierybluebird]

Well where are you now? If we're both in the dorms, it seems silly to meet up outside.

[eggplantallergy]

I'm in the dorms, room A109.

[fierybluebird]

A111. So I'll meet you in the hall?

[eggplantallergy]

Sure thing! See you in a bit.

[eggplantallergy]

You mean not having supplies we normally would have before being transported here marks people as idiots?

Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

[eggplantallergy]

And name calling does suffice as that stone I was talking about.
