[color=006d5b]"Yes. We need to destroy them immediately."[/color] Matilda replied, with a very serious expression. After a few seconds, her expression returned to normal, and she said, [color=006d5b]"Of course they aren't. How would pants even be evil?"[/color]

"Oh thank goodness you are alright!" Sophia sighed with relief seeing that Alain was okay as she opened her eyes again. "But, can pants really be evil? They're pants, I wouldn't have thought you could get morality onto them?" Sophia asked as she peered at the hole in his pants.

"So if Ka means fate, then this Ka-Tet you're rambling about is a group that holds the same quest and are bound by fate." The man repeated just so he understood it himself. "Hold that thought, another costumer." He said as he went and filled a glass for another patron before returning. "So then I guess since you are still looking for this 'Dark Tower', you haven't found it yet. How have you been going about doing that so far?"

[color=003399]"If I remember correctly, you can bind spirits to objects, where I'm from. I guess if the spirit was evil, the object would be, too."[/color] Joel chimed in, having emerged from the ship in time to catch the discussion on evil pants, now fully dressed.

Samus had twitched when Matilda stabbed Alain, starting to raise her arm cannon, but lowered it quickly and sheepishly when Alain came out unharmed. She noticed the hole in his clothes and was thankful she hadn't volunteered.

[color=5F04B4]"Okay, I get it, my pants aren't evil. They still have a big hole in them now, though."[/color] Alain complained.

[color=01A9DB]"I have gone where Ka has led me. It has been all the direction I have ever needed. Now, though... I don't know where to go."[/color] Roland said, taking another drink when he finishe talking.

"So then fate had you join up with a bunch of people that were there for a single quest decreed by fate, just so you could leave the fate, fate chose for you?" The bartender reiterated, giving Roland a look like he wasn't sure if he really needed that alcohol. "So let me guess, before this you have mostly been working on your own, correct? You've had the odd assistance, but nothing that's stuck?"

"Stray bullets could still be dangerous." Seras pointed out, still against the idea of letting a blind person have a gun.

[color=006d5b]"Oh. Sorry."[/color] Matilda said to Alain, before replying to Seras. [color=006d5b]"Only indirectly, which is safer stray bullets from pretty much anyone other than me."[/color]

"Mmm...I'm sorry Matilda, I just have a hard time believing you can use a gun as well as someone who can...well, see." Seras said, hoping she wasn't being to harsh.

[color=01A9DB]"As I said, high speech does not translate well to the low speech. No matter how many words I use, I could never fully describe Ka."[/color] Roland said, annoyed that the bartender would not respect Ka. [color=01A9DB]"I have had friends. Family. A few people who have travelled with me. They have all met thier deaths, many by my own hand."[/color]

[color=006d5b]"That's because you haven't spent years practicing shooting blind."[/color] Matilda pointed out.

"And so how long have you been doing on this adventure then?" The barkeeper seemed to ignore Roland's tone for the moment, but it was just too obvious for him not to have picked up on it.

[color=01A9DB]"I have been seeking the Tower for longer than anyone has any right to live. It must have taken hundreds of years to travel the distance that I have, but I haven't been keeping track."[/color]

"That long, huh?" The barkeeper said as he shook his head, standing up from him leaning on the counter, and turning so he was better facing Roland. "Then I guess I have some advice for you." He answered. His jaw opening up like he was going to yawn, but looking more like he was stretching. "So you've been saying that you've been trying to do something, that has gone on for years and years, to the point that you don't know how long you've been doing it. Well son let me just tell you that you need to look for a new route. This 'going it alone stuff' just isn't cutting it." He said as he rested his arms on the counter. "Now this Ka you keep talking about, it's supposed to provide you with what you need to get to this tower of yours. So what the bloody hell are you doing leaving your Ka-Tet that's been provided by Ka to get the job done?"

"Now you can *****, moan and complain about how I don't respect this Ka fellow, crazy nutjobs come in here all the time talking about how their particular deity it the right one and who will come to save, but I'm not the one that left his group of single purpose goal setting, that was you." He said, not raising his voice at all as he pointed an old finger towards Roland near the end. "So I'd have to say that you either go back to beating your head against that wall to this Dark Tower you've beat yourself over so long and hard that you can't even remember when you first started." He said presenting his one hand. "OR, you could try this new outlet presented to you by this Ka fellow, having the team that has been brought together to achieve that goal you've been working so hard for." He said as he raised the other.

"It can't be much more obvious than that."

"Well, I'm going to head off to the showers."

EMily walked off, and passed by Sara who was fully washed and fully dressed in her usual garb. She had a healthy smile and demeanor on her, indicating that she was most refreshed. She stopped at the group of people that were talking about pants.
<color=brown>"I'm back and ready for action. Who's ready for katana training?"

Seras obviously didn't look convinced, but she decided to give Sara her attention. "I'm ready." she said as she took off her coat and picked up her hf katana.

<color=brown>"Very good then. Are you comfortable doing the practice outside?" She asked.

Joel walked over to Sara, with the Murasama hanging at his belt on the right side, and nodded.

Sara proceeded outside and instructed Seras and Joel to stand at attention to her. She summoned Gluon in its Katana form; the blade slightly glowing a mixture of what appeared to be faint waves of red, green, and blue.

<color=brown>"For this, we're not going to be using any special powers. No high frequencies or nuclear powers. Our first lesson will focus on footing and the eight basic swings for the katana. We will then move on to parrying and dodging blows. And of course we'll finish off with some practice duels. This will be our schedule day by day on the days when we have free time. Now let's begin."

Sara would then instruct the two to get into their first position along with the usual way to handle the katana, which was with two hands. She noted it could also be held with one, but usually two.

"You can count me out, I've probably had more than enough time out in the sun for right now. I think I'll go get a drink or something." Sophia answered back to Sara, waving her hand dismissively, but thankful for the offer even if she wasn't the main target. "Just try and be careful, alright everyone?" She asked of them before heading towards the ship.
