hey i was being serious there, if you're gonna have something work as weird as that sounds, you might as well get something out of it

using it to launch safes is a pretty good option all things considered

[alienates]

Like in theory it's fucking useful?
Being able to stash a bunch of items into hammerspace and just pull it out whenever you need it.
You'll never need a backpack again?
Except everything I put in just goes inside a safe, and the safes are obnoxiously hard to open??
So it causes more problems than it solves I hate this.

[darkinferno]

five bucks on the fact retrospec's got the combination to open it and just haven't given it to you so they can watch you struggle

at least my sword makes SENSE in how it appears and disappears, even if it's not as good a blunt trauma weapon

[alienates]

Does it have a handle?
Maybe you can smack people with that although I guess that means you'd be holding the pointy part which will probably cause a whole different line of problems for you.

[darkinferno]

better than that, it's shaped like a bat's wing so the "spine" part of it is blunt, all i'd need to do is turn it backwards and i could use it on someone, no problem

[alienates]

Wait wait
You have a bat wing sword.
Oh my god who thought of that, that's some anime bullshit.

[darkinferno]

[WHY DOES EVERYBODY LIKE TO GIVE HIM SHIT ABOUT HIS SWORD IT'S COOL, OKAY]

i don't know where i got it from or who came up with the design

but i can cut through metal and concrete with it so i'm not about to complain about its shape

[But here, he'll summon up Soul Eater so that he can take a picture of it to send to Karkat. There u go, one batwing sword for your scrapbooks.]

[alienates]

Can you cut through walls?
You can do some really neat dramatic entrances if you can cut through walls.

[darkinferno]

yeah, i can

so far the only thing it hasn't been able to cut through was something else that came from retrospec

i don't know if i'm the dramatic entrance type of guy though, i'm more a "come and go as i please without being noticed" sort

[alienates]

You don't know if you'll be the type until you try it out, dude.
Just do it once and if it doesn't stick go back to the creepy suddenly appearing from nowhere shtick.
But huh
I guess it makes sense that you can't break other Retrospec shit.

[darkinferno]

who knows? maybe i'll give it a try sometime

but it'll have to be a pretty important entrance for me to try something like that

[alienates]

Ok yeah you'll have to save it for a good usage.
You can't just decide to meet someone grocery shopping and crash through the window.
I mean you can, but it doesn't have the right kind of setup to TRULY make it feel worth it.

[darkinferno]

i don't know about that, doing it to the grocery store could be funny in a really stupid sort of way

but yeah, i'll probably save it for whenever we finally get to come face to face with jim or something

thanks for the advice

[alienates]

No problem.
That's what I'm here for.
Giving advice, I am the goddamn fucking champion advice giver.

[darkinferno]

well if i need any more advice i know who to ask

but until then, i'll let you know when i get an answer back about the dojo for training sessions

[alienates]

Got it.
Also let me know if you cut anything else with your sword thing I am actually curious about this saga now.

[darkinferno]

maybe i'll have to save that dramatic entrance for you then

but i'll let you know


[[and so assume that at some point after last month's tunnel expeditions around the 21st, dante told karkat that his sword couldn't carve out any of the binary on the tunnel walls! it couldn't pierce the surface or do any damage.]]
