[You know what Mayfield has been missing out on?

CHAINSWORDS

These machines you may know as 'sounder pounder tree cutterdowners' are somehow swords and your two favorite Warhammer 40k heroes are dueling with them.

None of the smoke associated with chainsaws is to be seen but the sound and the whirring of the blades can't be missed. Not to mention the sparks caused by the clash of blades.

Yes, they're clashing.

Standing a good foot and a half shorter than Garviel, Cain is somehow managing to not get a chainsword blade stuck in his head. He can't fight the Space Marine strength on strength but his ability to deflect the blade must either be instinct or awesome skill. Either way, they still pause every so often because fighting a frakking Astartes is like hitting your head on a brick wall.

Feel free to gawk, think they're insane, or that their weapons can't be wieldy due to physics but they still handle them like they're Jedi Masters.

At the park, of course.

Garviel and Cain will be tagging the threads separately and threadjacking between the two may happen.]

Pretty much. Easier to see from up here. [Barton's only a little over 5 feet, herself.]

Nice, uh, weapon-things.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

Chainsword. Never seen one? They're pretty standard issue to Astartes like the big guy and Commissars like me.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

Nope. Never heard of an Astartes or Commissar anyway.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

It's a long story, either way. Unless you want to hear it.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

Not really. Is it hard to use? [She's way more interested in the cool weapon.]

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

It's like using any other sword except if you accidentally hit yourself, you're losing a body part.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

You both seem like you're in one piece. Can't be that hard.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

I've got about a hundred years of combat experience under my belt. He's got even more.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[Headtilt. You look awfully young to be so old. She asks what to her is an obvious question.]

You guys mages?

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

[WHOA, RECOILING.]

That's a nasty insult you got there, kid.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[This does not make sense.]

How the hell is that an insult? I just asked a question.

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

Don't get involved with magic and sorcery. Trust me on that one.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

Why should I?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Would you like to swing it?

[Good luck with that. It's Garviel-sized Barton.]

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[She looks it over, swinging her legs.] How heavy's it?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[He will take careful hold of it, and offer her the hilt.]

Try holding it.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[She effortlessly hops down from the tree, and takes hold of it. She knows she probably can't, but should have no problems if she ever gets some of her powers back. Not that she wants half of them anyway.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[Garviel nods and says]

Thumb the activation rune. Be careful, the motion is a little hard to get used to.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[She looks at it, and touches it. With her magic, or especially her psychic abilities, she'd be able to control it easily. Without them, this will tough, but she'll give it her damnedest.]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

Careful! You don't want to cut yourself with it. That would most likely be... ah, fatal.

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

I'll get over it.

[She wields it pretty well for such a tiny lass. Before giving it back to Garviel, she walks over with the sword to a small tree, and chops it down with a swing.

She smirks. Coooooool.

Barton doesn't want to tempt rate any longer, though, and will return it to him. As flat as ever:] So, you let anyone just swing that thing around then?

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

I only let people I can take it back from swing it around.

[He doesn't say it cruelly, just honestly.]

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[She frowns slightly, but she knows that's true. Just you wait, big guy. She'll be kicking ass eventually.]

Had I know that, I woulda tried to make a run for with it.

[smirk]

[lunawolves10th.livejournal.com]

[He chuckles.]

Are you enjoying it?

[nosoul-nomind.livejournal.com]

[She shrugs slightly.] It's pretty neat, I guess. Thought it would be harder to handle than that.
