[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.]

[Garviel gets a smirk, too, but then a terrible frown. Way to keep reminding her of him.]

Loken.

Is something wrong?

[He gives her a quizzical look.]

thenorthernwall: (Brought to bear.)
From: [personal profile] thenorthernwall
No. Let me try that, though.

Certainly.

Activation rune is by your thumb, here you are then.

[He hands it over for a moment, and smiles brightly at her.]

[She takes it, regarding it carefully.]

A tutorial, if you don't mind.

Certainly. It swings much like a broadsword, only a bit heavier, as mine is Astartes-grade. Normally I'd suggest a human use two hands but you're strong enough to manage it with one.

It is primarily a cutting weapon, I don't recommend using it as a thrusting blade without a bit of practice, the motion of the blades will throw your balance off until you're used to the blade moving even while you swing it. Broad strikes are best, because you can carve a lot off with them. You can also reverse the direction of the blades to throw your opponent's parry off.

[He sounds a bit like his old self as a scout-sergeant, teaching a recruit the basics of how to use a chainsword.]

[Quietly:] Like this?

[She steps out away from him and moves the blade in a wide arc. She imagines this is what it must feel like to have automail...]

Yes... not bad. Allow me to adjust your grip here slightly]

[His armored hands touch hers as he reaches around.]

[She tenses, but lets him guide her hand.] This way, then.

[Garviel nods, and blinks, noticing the tension.]

Everything all right then?

I'm not used to people being this close to me. I don't really like it.

You are safe with me. Surely you know that.

Date: 2011-06-09 04:43 am (UTC)
thenorthernwall: (Get ready to die.)
From: [personal profile] thenorthernwall
Of course. It makes no difference, though.

[A grunt.] Anyway, continue.

Very well. It's not like your blade, or like my Spatha from Klaus. Chainswords aren't a subtle weapon, in the swinging anyway. All the tricks come from reversing and altering the pitch of the chain. You try it, apply pressure to the rune at various intensities and it will alter how the chainsword turns.

[Her face says she does not believe you. She pushes on a thing and it magically makes it work... Yeah, uh-huh, okay.]

[Garviel is quiet and lets her discover for herself. Hopefully without chopping any limbs off.]

[Haaah, well, Garviel, your reward for this is the look of somewhat childlike wonder on her face when she figures out how this thing works.] ...Nice.

From: [identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com
Very nice, yes. I'm glad you approve. I've wielded it for over a hundred years, and defeated nearly every foe I've come across with it.

I'd be interested in seeing more closely how it works... In fact, I'd like one of my own. Can you get me a schematic?

Date: 2011-06-13 11:38 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] lunawolves10th.livejournal.com
I cannot, however once I show it to the Baron he may be able to reproduce the mechanism.
