( ORIGINAL THREAD ) --- [ There's something emasculating about this in honesty but Giorno's not gonna point that out. ]
Would you want to proceed together?
[ Honestly Giorno's curious to see what he's capable of. He's a small framed man but he seems as though he has a lot of confidence in his own abilities. Harden...like a soldier? ]
I won't be needing weapons. [ So, in some ways, yes? In other ways, no, he's totally confident in his supernatural abilities that very few others can probably see. Though that might have to wait given the fact that there are people Out To Get Them lurching nearby. ]
Shall we go? It seems as though if we wait any longer, we may have quite the number of people after us.
You sound pretty confident. You have powers or something?
[ he knows a lot of people in the colony can do fancy magic shit. rather than waiting for an answer, though, he starts to move forward, assuming Giorno will follow. indeed, it's past time to get the fuck out of here. ]
[ he doesn't exactly know where he's going, either, but there's gotta be an exit in this ballroom somewhere and he's leading them to where he guesses it might be. he glances over his shoulder briefly at Giorno when he confirms that he's got powers. ]
[ Giorno answers simply enough as if it wasn't a huge deal and keeps and eye out on both what might be an exit as well as on the "guests" who are getting increasingly savage. Getting jumped on was not something Giorno wanted to experience. ]
[ he almost stops and turns around, but decides against it when he notices how cranky the crowd around them is becoming. priority number one is still getting the hell out. priority number two (insert poop joke) is to see that ability in action, because damn. ]
[ He's 100% and not shitting you (lol poop joke). Honestly something like this shouldn't be made in light but Giorno is comfortable with his abilities and what he's capable of. ]
[ aha! he spots the exit. finally. leading them over in that direction, he considers how totally wack it would be to watch his knives turn into real birds.
hmmm... ]
Depends on what's outside. If it looks safe, go for it.
[ Look man, you don't know anything about his birds, however, yeah... probably still not the best idea. Though the change from non-jungle to sudden jungle makes Giorno wrinkle his nose.
One day all of these sudden changes can be a norm for him, but for right now, they'll still be different. ]
[ welcome to ViViD, son. being a video game, it's subject to video game logic, which of course is not very logical at all. on the plus side, it also means these monsters aren't actually real and thus can't actually kill you.
which doesn't mean there aren't... downsides to dying or otherwise playing poorly, so he's not going to let his guard down. he never does, really. ]
I don't suppose your power works both ways.
[ turning these monsters into rocks or something would save everyone a lot of trouble, but he doubts it works that way. ]
[ Dying isn't real but bet you anything it still hurts like it should be real. This isn't really a video game as just another run through life...pseudo life. But Giorno considers Levi's question carefully... He hadn't actively tried to do the opposite but given what he does know about his abilities, that'd be almost unfair. ]
No, but whatever I give life to, I can also revert back to how it was.
[ So, imagine sweet birds doing whatever birds do only to suddenly turn into knives. Though knives are still not that useful unless there's force behind them, but the possibilities for other instances were endless. ]
[ does he like stand on a street corner offering to bring people's pocket items to life for a dollar? because he could probably make some good money that way. ]
[ Excuse you Levi, he's not a side show attraction. ]
However I need it. Some situations are more obvious than others, such as if someone has lost a limb—I can replace it, but it doesn't mean that it's limited to that.

no subject
If you want. I can't stop you from following me.
[ well, he can, but he's not going to. he usually likes to have a good reason before he cuts people. ]
no subject
Thank you, however, if you didn't want the company I would have respected your decision.
[ You know, if he still wants to take it all back. ]
no subject
No, it's fine. If you're not going to arm yourself, you might as well stick with me.
[ surely you must feel more safe in the company of this tiny man with adorable bird-knives. ]

You could say that I do.

Yeah? What do you do?

So you could turn these knives into actual birds?

Would you want a demonstration?

Depends on what's outside. If it looks safe, go for it.
no subject
That seems like a fair deal.
[ He could turn them back into knives if need be but there was always a little bit of a delay depending on the complexity. ]
no subject
he stops and turns back around to Giorno, pulling the stupid knives out again but not handing them over yet. ]
Looks like I might be needing these after all.
[ throwing actual birds at things isn't a very effective strategy. ]

If it isn't one thing then it's another.

I see. How do you end up with powers like that, anyway?
no subject
I'm not certain. One day I woke up and realized that I could do things like this.
[ ....the most helpful, I know. ]

i lost this notif again smfh
no, let's not go there right now. he actually looks mildly impressed. ]
I'll keep that in mind if these monsters ever get the better of me.
:'(
Please feel free to. [ He has no problems with replacing any limbs though... maybe that's not the kind of message they should be presenting? ]
However, it would be best if you weren't hurt to that extent in the first place.
