Exile on Main Street

[Dracos]

"You raise an excellent point, but no, these are magic, though I have no clue what they do."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Interesting.  Well, Drac, you can tack another thing on to that list I mentioned earlier, and upgrade coincidence's predicament from being 'out the window' to being 'run over by a truck'."

[Dracos]

"No kiddin'."

Dracos heads to his room and examines the magic items, getting his broken claymore hilt and putting it right next to the other claymore.

Dracos

[Brian]

The 'fracture' lines on the 'good' claymore line up with the existing edges of the broken one.  Looks like they were paired in some sense....

[Dracos]

Dracos hmms and tries placing them perfectly against each other, line to line.

Dracos

[Brian]

*crash*

And it looks like such a sturdy blade, too....

Well, now it's broken into pieces that match the fragments used to shred Dr. Peterson.

[Dracos]

Dracos sweatdrops.  "Magical exploding paired blades....who the hell invented something like that?"

Checks out the rest of the stuff.

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"You know, Drac," Bjorn says, sticking his head into the room, "if this house did belong to Brian, don't you think you could do him the respect of not blowing it the fuck up?"

[Dracos]

"Well, sorry, I don't expect most blades to explode on touch."

Dracos

[Brian]

A nut on a string.  Which smells kinda funny.  You have no idea what this could be for.  You know it does something, and you know how to use it (rub the nut along the string), but you don't know what it actually does.  Or what kind of nut it is.

A glass marble.  With bubbles in it.  You think if you stare into a bubble hard enough you start seeing things, and, in fact, when you try to do so, about three hours pass before you remember what you were doing.  No idea what other purpose it would serve, however.

[Bjorn]

Coming back into the room some hours later (rather worried by the sudden abscence of noise), Bjorn find Dracos staring fixedly into the marble, and slaps him across the back of the head.  "Oi! Snap out of it!"

[Dracos]

Dracos shakes his head, "Huh?"  He blinks, "Shit... that must be some kind of hypnotic trap or something."

Dracos

[Bjorn]

"What, this?"  Bjorn takes the marble from Dracos and skeptically examines it himself.

[Brian]

It's a glass marble.  Looks kinda ... shiny.  Neat.  You could probably look at it all day ... if you didn't have those occult books to leaf through.

[Bjorn]

Bjorn shakes his head.  "I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, and chalk this up to my apparent power immunity, if it wasn't for the fact that a couple hours ago, you were complaining about exploding swords.  As it is, Drac, take a damn nap."
