"Yes." "Of course." "Adoni!" "Sink ship!"
Adoni sunk himself out of Maida's arms and down to the deck where her scurried away down to the hold. Zia and Maida were smiling smugly at Kibo.
"Bet you do have a pet that can do that!" "Don't feel bad," "Many don't."

Kibo: Ahem, I have a pet who can do much more than that.
He takes his ring off, and shows them about a foot's length of Charon's string.

"Is that?"
Maida reqached out and touched the blood red blade and yanked her hand back almost imedetly, as if burned.
"That is!" "Where'd you get Charon?" "Last we saw, Mother had it."

Kibo: It took a bit of a struggle, and almost killing your friend Storm, (although I doubt she would have let me do that), to wrestle him into this string here. Before, he was my entire left arm. Anywho, here's the blade, as proof.
He pulls out an arm-and-a-half's length of string, and it broadens into a blood-red form of Charon's Claw. The color sinks from the hilt, leaving the bleached white bones gleaming in the candlelight.

"Really?" "You almost killed Storm?" "I bet she enjoyed that!"
They giggled.
"She's never been dead before." "I wonder if Mother would like that?" "I don't know." "We should ask her next time we see her." "But why is he a string?" "Or an arm, before that?"

Kibo: Well, first, I grabbed the hilt and had that lil' scruff with him. I lost my arm, and got his instead, for defeating him. But, he fed off my anger and took over most of my body, almost killing Storm. But I managed to defeat him, beating his down til there was nothing but an eye left, and imprisoning him in this string. He's recovering right now, but there's no way he can get out, even at full strength. I built this contraption to hold Beelzebub himself.

"So you look him in a string?" "That's so creative!"
Zia and Maida laughed.

Kibo: Yep. Necessity gives birth to innovation. Just like the invention of the ship, to satisfy the need to get over long distances of water to transport goods.

"Why a string" "And not a button, though?"

Kibo: Style, mainly. Fiddling with a button isn't nearly as cool as...
Kibo dramatically grabs the ring, pulling the string to its full extent, spinning it around into several loops, and shoving his arm through them, the loops tightening around his arm. Fire envelops his arm, and died down, revealing Charon's blood-red arm. He holds his hand out in front of him, and the arm turns back into Kibo's, and the string whips around rapidly, finally settling, th ring landing perfectly on Kibo's little finger.
Kibo: ...that?

Zia and Maida clapped their hands together and laughed.
"Bravo! Bravo!" "Again!"

Kibo: How about this?
Kibo pulls the ring off again, pulling it out as far as he could. It broadens, into Charon's Claw. However, the blade becomes thicker than its normal blade. Also, instead of a hilt, a long handle forms, made of vertebrae. Instead of a sword, it was a pike.
Kibo: I call it Charon's Lunge. It's quite a handy weapon, especially since it's still attached to my hand.
He throws it across the cabin, embedding it in the wall. Kibo grabs the string connecting his palm to the base of the handle, and pulls, making the pike fly backwards through the air, back into his hand. He spins it around, and stabs the blade into the deck. It turns back to a string, and retracts. Once again, the ring flies back with the string, landing perfectly on Kibo's little finger.

"I didn't know he could do that!" "Nor did I!" "Ah what a useful weapon!" "Yesyes, oh so very useful." "Can you still yse it's enchantment?" "The smokescreen?" "The infration block?" "The soul stealing?"

Kibo: Let's find out.
Kibo summons Charon's Lunge again, and swings it quickly, barely scratching Adoni. The ferret squeaks, and disappears. Charon's Lunge quivers, and the blade seems to grow bigger. He turns it back into a ring on a string, and puts it back on his hand.
Kibo: Yep, I guess it does.
He clenches his right fist.
Kibo: Cough him up, Charon.
He opens his hand, and Adoni appears, scampering down his side to the ground, and back over to Zia and Maida.

Zia and Maida jumped up on Kibo's bed to avoid getting their bare feet wet from the half centemter of water flooding his room. They glared at Kibo.
"Why did you do that!" "He's only a little baby!"
