so a lot of people have been talking about receiving packages in the mail from retrospec lately. we've had fruit, stuffed animals, various accessories... but i want to know more about the other things people have been getting. the weird changes that don't make sense
like anya suddenly being fluent in russian or yin's eyes changing color
how many of you guys have had stuff like THAT happen so far? what sort of changes are we seeing here?
people have been getting these flashes over the past month and a half, and now some people are turning up with these random physical changes or abilities they definitely didn't have the day before. i wanna know if there are just a couple people who've experienced this or if it's more common than we think
on a somewhat related note, who here knows anything about swordfighting? i think i want to try something

[She shifts her weight forward, taking a step forward by swinging her back leg out in an exaggerated arc. Lowering the tip of the sword until it pointed at Dante's chest, she pulls her wrist close to her chest to give the indication she was poised to lunge.]
Except it's a bit more punishing if you make a wrong move.

A little bit, yeah. I'll try to avoid that.
[So. Predict her next movement and figure out how to counter it. He can do that. Dante narrows his eyes at the blade, guessing that if she's pulling her arm back, it's to give her more power when she thrusts it forward again. It's positioned to point straight at his chest, so in order to block it he'd need to...
His first instinct would be to swing and try to meet it from above, forcing her sword to drop out of the way. But these rapiers, while heavier than the wooden bokken, aren't wide enough for him to be certain he could control her blade like that.
So if he can't do that... maybe he can knock it upwards and duck below it? Dante shifts his wrist, angling the blade so that when she lunges, he can catch her blade on his and push it up and off. That's a good move, right?]
