>>5842875Pry a crate apart? With your bare hands? There's NAILS in that, what are you, some sort of Vanadian sapper with a multitool and a disregard for sound engineering principles? Ufh. You consider doing it for a bit but that would just be the worst. And you'd spill moth dream everywhere. And hurt your hands.
Luckily, you can easily improvise a useful carry-all with your belt, some deft finger-work, and a strip of cloth you tear from your shirt. Easy does it, and a Vulpes makes do.
Yeah, get rich and make a lot of bunnies and monies in the big city, and to do that, stay alive and avoid dealing with pyromancers on battlefields, Watcher patrols, *vanadians in general*, don't hold with boxing and - word to the wise - don't put your paws directly on Bonded Steel that isn't bonded to you.
which is why you slide it into this belt, real careful, and let the sheaths prevent them from touching you[/i:lit].
You know, Lago, I think your uncle Rabbit was a smart one. Grand Theft Sword. Wow.
First Spear Aurelius used to run patrols through the streets, hunting for stuff like this, in the brief, bad few weeks after the Pyre. When the City was still racked with smoke and distant screams and no one knew what for or why. The Rebus and the Watchers got their stuff together, the Grey Committee and the Senatorial Commissions in general got their <span class="mu-i">stuff</span> together - for once - and issued an Edict.
Weapons of War go to the Watchers.
It's simple, isn't it? Easy to remember. Rolls right off the tongue. Joke is they acquired so much material in those few weeks that we need never fear running out of plowshares ever again. And these days, it takes a smuggling network and a dream to source a bloody crossbow round these streets. It's why the Slicerats like knives so much.
Even the Senators knew they'd have trouble on their hands if they told people to give up cheese by giving up cheese knives. Some things you just can't make the public accept.
But lookit YOU.
You've got a pair of genuine contraband Bonded Blades strapped to your back. Sword Hunter Lagomorpheus, and ain't that a kind of Title that'll make a Mask worth a story or three?

Roll Sense to <span class="mu-i">sniff out</span> nearby weaponry.
( A lot of Slice Rats carry knives... and what's worse )
