[Someone's snuck out of the dorms vvvery early. And appears to be taking it out on the rocks with his materia.

Watch out for minor earthquakes.]

[leans twords Chika for a second, twords his head]

Close enough, I don't hear anything rattling around in there. How's your hand?

[snickers]

[holds up right hand] This? Got it back a while ago. Wanna see something cool?

As in possibly violent or disgusting? Sure, why not?

Gimme some credit.

[holds out his right hand, open palmed. You can see the tip of a katana coming out from that hand, along with swirling green light. Soon there's a katana in his hand with a length of chain connecting the cuff on his hand to the hilt.]

[whistles]

Okay, that's pretty cool. Still potentially violent.

That's the point.

Well, I can't argue with that. Where'd you get it?

We did a mission and got my hand back.

...isn't that something you're normally born with, Grey?

Normal people don't get new lives as zombies after their bodies get cut to pieces.

I dunno why this one stays on 'stead of falling off but I ain't gonna question it till I havta.

[nods]

I can also see the appeal of that. Still not seeing how you got the sword in there, but I guess that's a pretty minor issue.

Probably came with being a zombie.

[also making the sword disappear the same way]

... I remembered sending off a soul with this.

Mmm. Maybe it's part of the deal. Tools of the trade. Whichever.

...yeah?

I can talk to the real spirit, soul, whatever... after I kill the zombie. The sword can open some sort of portal to send them off.

I get money for it after that.

[nods]

...which doesn't work here, but at least the sword part still works.

And my hand.

[nods at Chaz's bracer] S'that one of those magic things you were using?

Yeah. Earth one.

[prying it at the bracer and tossing it at Chika]

[catches and turns it over in his hand to examine it]

Neat. How's it work?

Put it in your bracer. Then you "aim" at least ten to twenty feet away from you to avoid splash damage, and let go, with your brain.

Sounds easy 'nough.

[pops the materia into his bracer. Aims his bracer arm at an empty spot ahead of them and...

Nothing happens.]

[...blinks]

That's weird.

Huh.

[pulls back his hand to look at the materia then tries again.

Again, nothing happens.]

The hell? Did it break?

No, it should work instinctively. It's got the memory there.

[okay fine. Tries again!]

[It works! Except it's the ground right under them that's shaking]

Whoa!

Whoa-!

[stumbling right into you]
