week zero

When you first wake up in your room, an announcement will play on the television.

You’ll be spending your first week before the game officially starts at a vast facility that has been completely submerged underwater. This facility consists of a central hub surrounded by four smaller spherical buildings. You can get to each subsection by either taking a shuttle or walking across a long glass tunnel.

[TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, here comes a pretty huge Homestuck troll grey-skinned man with a large rack (of horns) ambling by. He peers at the battleaxe and snorts derisively.]

No point using anything with an edge that blunt.

[dramatist]

[WHO LET THE HOMESTUCKS LOOSE-- no okay that's actually pretty strange and intriguing!? This guy looks more like a Chain than a human, and it's only by the grace of Jack's good manners that he doesn't stare like a rudeass.

Instead, he's only looking vaguely impressed. This person looks like someone who could literally murder someone just by bopping them over the head with a fist okay...]

I guess even brute strength would be hampered a little by a poor weapon... Which one would you pick for yourself?

[Curiously tilting his head in the direction of the weapons racks!]

[quncertain]

Ha! I've come across plenty of people who think a big stick's all they need. And I'm not talking about just in bed. [DIRTY LAUGHTER]

Hmm...[He looks over the weapons and shakes his head.] I'm not a big fan of iron and steel - they rust fast and they're so boring. You want a decent blade, you gotta go for the rarer materials. Volcanic aurum, maybe. Personally, I'm a dawnstone kind of guy.

[dramatist]

[IRON BULL... Jack likes this guy already, what a punkass.]

Dawnstone! What a lovely name. I've never heard of that before... [But he seems impressed anyway?! Maybe just because it sounds like a magical equip item.]

Volcanic aurum isn't familiar-sounding, either. I know some people who can make glass from volcanic ash, but I'd guess that would be better suited for a display case than a battle. Nice to look at, but not very reliable.

[quncertain]

Oh, you don't have it where you're from? It's actually a brittle stone, but it makes a damn pretty blade. All pink and shiny. [HE IS...THE BEST PUNKASS...] Sometimes you just need a weapon that makes you look awesome, even if it's not the best material.

[dramatist]

[TRULY, THIS IS INCREDIBLE. They're also apparently on the exact same page here, because Jack sure appreciates pink and shiny things and seems suitably impressed.]

Now that does sound lovely! Goodness, if we had weapons made of something like that where I come from, I feel like no one would ever fight.

[Everyone would just strike fancy poses in front of the setting sun...]
