It's not that hard. You're trying too hard.

[foolreversed]

Oh yeah? Then how do you do it, Mr. Perfect?

[myriades]

Hmm, like this?

[He stands, touches his throat gem- which glows with very dull foggy grey light. He tilts his head back and shit is fucking Utena all over here. Or Sailor Moon or something as he pulls the pale energy out- thank god it stays energy until it's pretty much out though cuz such a long thick weapon would look pretty gross otherwise coming from such a spot.

...though in Adachi's favor, once he has it OUT and it becomes solid he fumbles, almost dropping it like fucking Hanamura on his worst day. Look he's not used to such oddly balanced heavy weapons shut up?]

1/2

[foolreversed]

[Adachi watches initially with wide eyes, feeling both impressed but also quite jealous that Yu was having no difficulty summoning his weapon at all.]

[foolreversed]

[...and then he fumbles and Adachi bursts out laughing.]

[myriades]

[Scowls forever, stabbing the polearm... thing... into the sand]

...

[foolreversed]

[SORRY NOT SORRY even when being less of an asshole than he could be he can't help having some laughs at others' expense, especially yours

But he'll calm himself down shortly, although there's still a laugh to his words once he starts speaking again]

So how'd you even do that? You just concentrate or something?

[myriades]

[He opens his mouth as if to say something... then turns his head away like a scorned cat]

[foolreversed]

[uh oh, he knows that reaction]

Oh come on, don't be such a baby - lighten up a little.

[myriades]

[He huffs, but turns back]

It... kinda feels like when I summon my persona. So maybe start there?

[foolreversed]

Oh... like that?

[crosses his arms again and tilts his head as he thinks]

...So uh, maybe like this then?

[and then he starts... clutching his head and hunching over, eyes shut tight.

...Adachi no.]

[myriades]

[Yu winces- he had seen Adachi summon plenty of times now. And while it looked less painful when he was fighting Kagutushci, he still clenched in pain during some attacks.

He had always assumed Adachi hadn't fought his Shadow, just like he hadn't. But Yu himself never had this kinda of agony when calling Izanagi. The worst he ever got was a headache when summoning some of his higher end personas. Like Satan.

He steps forward, then pauses, still unsure how to interact with him now. Finally he gives in, reaching over and taking Adachi's wrists and pulling them away]

Stop that, it really will pop out at this rate.

1/2

[foolreversed]

[He's still straining to try and get the dang thing to come out but when he feels Yu pull his wrists away he stops and reopens his eyes. After staring for a moment he breaks his hands away.]

I told you, [placing a hand over his gem and rubbing it like a lamp] it's not going to pop--

[foolreversed]

[and then there's a bright green glow, before suddenly the tip of a familiar looking hilt shoots straight out, causing Adachi to nearly piss himself as he jumps and shrieks]

-o-out!?

[myriades]

[Yu is usually a stoic and calm young man. But almost getting beaned by something COMING OUT OF ADACHI'S HEAD is enough to make him cry out and jump back]

Adachi-san, you have to pull it out!

[foolreversed]

[YOU THINK YOU'RE SURPRISED YU?! ADACHI CAN'T EVEN SEE IT

SO HE IS KINDA FREAKING OUT RIGHT NOW]

P-Pull it out?! Pull what out?!

[his hands are kind of blindly hovering and groping around that general area, not even sure if it's safe to grab onto WHAT IF IT'S HOT??? OR COMING OUT SHARP END FIRST?! HE CAN'T TELL HE CAN'T SEE SHIT]

[myriades]

H-hold on.

[HE'S GONNA GRAB IT. But can he even do it will it EXPLODE if touched by other hands?! Who know man but it can't stay there. WE REALLY ARE BECOMING THE STUPIDEST UTENA RIP OFF HERE MAN]

[foolreversed]

Huh? W-Wait, what are you--?!

[welp have fun trying to make that stupid utena rip off happen as it's about to get even stupider

because while it's not exploding it's also not budging

like it's stuck

in fact you're more likely to pull Adachi himself forward when you pull instead of just that thing.]

[myriades]

Hm.

[He tugs a few times, maybe even shaking Adachi's poor head back and forth]

It's stuck.

[NO SHIT SHERLOCK]

[foolreversed]

[GOD IF ADACHI HADN'T PROMISED TO LIVE BY THE RULES OF THE WORLD HE WOULD FUCKING KILL YOU FOR ALL THIS SHAKING YOU LITTLE SHIT]

Stuck?! How the heck is it stuck?!

[ok fuck it, if Yu can grab the stupid thing then it must be ok for him to do so too. so he's grabbing it and doing his best to try and get it out and NOPE

NOT BUDGING FOR HIM EITHER]

Am... Am I just going to have this thing sticking out of my forehead forever?!

[HE HATES HAVING A FOREHEAD GEM]

[myriades]

I have an idea.

[He steps back to his own weapon, hauling it out of the sand... and falling into a combat stance.

Or well tries to. He's used to heavy weapons, sure. His broadswords are massive. But the weight is balanced all weird on this thing, so he has to shift his hands and where he puts his feet first.

Okay got it. Still, obviously 'I'm gonna shank a dude stance']

[foolreversed]

[Is still tugging at the damn thing, trying to get it to move]

An idea?! Well then, hurry it up and--

[finally glances at Yu and freezes]

...What are you doing.

[oh no

ohhhhhhh no]

[myriades]

They're a self defense mechanism, obviously.

Don't think I'll go easy on you.

[He still has a lot of pent up regrets he's gonna LOVE getting out BD]

[foolreversed]

Wh-What!? Are you nuts?!

[TRYING TO SCRAMBLE TO HIS FEET]

What if it doesn't work!?

[myriades]

It's not like I'm going to kill you.
