2/21. video and text.

[ first is a video of two cats (one large normal and black, the other small four-eyed and black) playing with yarn attached between two plain, black knitting needles, without commentary. ]

Now that I have your attention, let's discuss unusual weapons.
Such as the above knitting needles you see. Yes, I do believe they were my "past self" (or whatever)'s choice of weapon.
Consider me the High Grandmaster of needle-fu, which is clearly a real thing.
If you wonder what one could do with knitting needles, for the record, I imagine stabbing or strangling with yarn would be the most obvious possibilities.
Or knitting killer sweaters. So cozy you die.

Tell me what unusual weapons your "past selves" (or whatevers) used.

[ ooh, colored text. should she match? ...she usually only does it with dave, so she'll hold off on it here. even if this is his twin sister. ]

a book.
granted, it summons creatures, but a book nonetheless
it's quite weighty, so i'm certain it could be used for smacking people as well...
knitting needles are quite an interesting weapon of choice however
almost like the sort of novelty things one would glamour one's weapon with rather than actually use

They say the pen is mightier than the sword, perhaps the book is mightier than the shield?
What sort of creatures do you summon?
I must say a summoner's book is the most video game type of weapon I've heard so far.
It does, doesn't it.
If I hadn't already the foreknowledge that they were probably weapons I would have assumed them literally solely to knit.
I admit I'm disappointed by their plainness.
I've always been more of a magic caster type of person when it comes to my weaponry choices (in video/tabletop games and the like).

wonderful creatures of many makes. one of them is a snow fairy, for example. another is the personification of death itself.
the snow fairy is far chattier, as you may expect. he's also growing more sulky at the idea that the weather is warming up.
summoner's always been my first pick as well in video games, so as you can imagine, i was quite pleased to find out i was one here.
