Right? It's like it's taunting us to go outside and look at it because it's so much better than some of the other places we've been. [ ... ] ...but like. It's kind of working.
You never really told me how Tokunaga works. It's...a doll with some tech installed, right? [ he remembers that weirdo from her memory mentioning it. ]
Okay that's...really cool. [ wtf that's actually really cool? why is earth so boring. ] Sounds a little like telekinesis but with more accuracy. Does he just shrink back down to his normal size when you don't need him?
Sure, that makes sense. If the frequency is coming from you it's no different than like a beacon, or a radio signal. Further apart you are, the fuzzier the connection becomes.
[ ...it is week 7, and he's tired, and he thinks that this is actually worth looking at so he only hesitates for a few seconds before he nods. ]
You sure? I am pretty curious to see him in action.
Hehe. Normally I'd charge, like, 500 gald for an exclusive Tokunaga ride, but I'm in a good mood today.
[ joking. probably.
but she'll hold up the doll, and in a moment, it crackles with energy and activates, growing to a large size! anise climbs on to its shoulder, grabbing on to one of its ears, so that shoma has room to climb on to the center of its head.
for being made of cloth and stuffing, it doesn't have any trouble supporting their weight. ]
I appreciate your generosity. [ wry. but he's immediately taking a few steps back the minute tokunaga crackles and he's watching with wide eyes as this thing grows. and grows. and grow?
you know reasonably he knew it had to be huge to support people but he's still very obviously surprised. ]
Wow. [ just. wow? but okay, he's moving and carefully climbing up. this is more because he's still recovering and not because he's worried about hurting the doll given it seems steady. up we go!! ] This is...actually way more impressive than I was expecting.
Hehe. Right? Honestly, I've got no clue how Dist did it. There's nothing like Tokunaga anywhere in the world! ... Or the universe!
[ Once Shoma's up, Tokunaga rises from a sitting position to stand on its pointy feet that are a little too small for its body. It is oddly stable, though -- perhaps because Anise wills it to be as steady as possible as it takes its first few steps. ]
Definitely nothing even close to what I've seen before. [ he's keeping a grip on tokunaga as it begins to stand up, and he's mostly observing this from a very analytical standpoint. it's only when they begin walking and heading out of the ship that he speaks again. ]
...how hard is it for you to multitask while focusing on his movements? [ i.e. can she actually talk while controlling him? ]
It's easy! I'm used to controlling Tokunaga in battle, and casting artes and stuff while riding around, so it might as well be second nature to me.
[ It shows a bit, with how she's perched precariously on Tokunaga's shoulder with just one hand gripping an ear, and she seems to almost effortlessly maintain her balance there. ]
I guess when you've been working with someone for a while you do figure out a balance. He's probably really useful for that sort of thing, too. You could probably stomp on anything small enough.
Yeah, absolutely! Tokunaga can just mow down your average monsters! [ proudly. ] You wouldn't know it to look at him, but he's pretty agile, too!
[ now that shoma's had a chance to get used to holding on, tokunaga picks up the pace, accelerating into a run as they begin to explore the strange lands here.
its motion is a bit awkward, as it thrusts its head forward and allows its arms to trail behind, but it's still somehow steady while straight-up naruto-running. ]
[ honestly? yeah, it figures this giant thing just straight-up naruto-runs and shoma adjusts his grip only slightly to accommodate it. he's more than surprised the thing is actually quick.
but more than that, he's also still continually impressed by her control over tokunaga. ]
He really is battle-ready. [ he's looking over tokunaga's head to see where they're going. ] It must've been really weird to spend this many weeks not being able to let him move.

Am I the only one who thinks it's really unfair that we finally get a beach but it's on a planet that might've turned our ship into a monster?

Hey, yeah!! That totally sucks! Now it's just kind of annoying that it looks so pretty!!

[ along with Tokunaga, she has the tuning fork staff here with her. ]
Not sure how reliable fonic artes are going to be, but Tokunaga's ready to handle anything!

Tokunaga reacts to my fonon frequency, which basically means that I can make him grow big and move just by focusing!
