misplacedxsheath*The phone is set up to record three short logs, each set on one end on small tables on the roof of the hotel, arranged in a wide trinagle. Margulis is standing in front of them, a new looking scabbard hanging at his side and a pleased smirk on his face.*
It's about time I stopped having to suffer this place without a worthwhile weapon. But all things considered, I think it was worth the wait.
*He turns away from the camera with a flurry of movement, ending with him holding his new weapon as the logs fall off their tables, each cut into three pieces. Slowly, he turns back to face the phone, running gloved fingers along the flat of the blade with a more serious expression.*
Since many of you are obviously from non-combat backgrounds, I'm willing to do you all a favor to minimize the problems caused by the Shadows. Ideally, they would be elimnated, but obviously that's not a viable solution in the short term. So if any of you civilians are seriously interested in learning the art of swordsmanship, I'm willing to accept a small number of students. But I warn you now, my lessons aren't to be taken lightly.
*His smirk returns, proud but not entirely cruel, and he sheathes his blade with the same carefully controlled movements he used when turning back to the camera.*
However, if you can withstand my training, I can assure you that your skills will be more than adequate for your needs here.
And Ms. Nakagawa...unfortunately, I don't think I can continue in your employ. Even aside from personal incompatability with one of your regular customers, the job itself is ill suited to my own temperament.
