Welcome to Gaia! ::

I'm not actually going to school.

That's just what I want Dee to think.

I feel an urge to RP for a short while.

Preferably Athan, but he's taken up by REVENGE/SPONTANEOUS SHADE SIGHTING, and having him in three places at once is just silly.

Because he was using it as a baseball bat?

That's like...less RP and more BATTLE ARENA.

I don't want to just step up and start bashing people's heads in.

I have Lili in three places at once. I wanted to roleplay her so I threw her into different places, but fighting Kraun is the fastest moving of them all. Where the roleplay is headed is definitely not what I wanted to do with Lili though. I don't want her to look like a hoar. eek

It's because he probably read about how katana use differential hardening, and the use of "skin steel" and "core steel".

Although the differential hardening is what really gives the katana a HRC 60/40, most traditional katana are constructed using softer steel for the core and harder steel for the edge. They figure this out by breaking plates of tamahagane and seeing if they shatter or tear.

I bet the guy figured he'd maximize this by taking the hardest substance he could think of for the "skin", and used the softest, most shock-absorbing substance he could think of for the "core".

Unfortunately, it works with steel because you can actually forge metals together. In order to make rubber stick to diamond you'd need like...I dunno...apoxy.

This does not a katana make.

As such, it was a slightly creative yet very bad attempt at min-maxing the benefits of a katana.

That's what I like to hear.
