[And it's about three hours later, and he's down to cabin 616, knocking on the door. His hands are a little red, he smells of cleaning product, and he looks a little tired. But he brightens up when he sees Trevor's face.]
[he says with an easy smile, opening the door to reveal the veritable metric shitton of weapons in his cabin. He's pulled five swords from the wall and set them on the cot nearby, all different weights and sizes]
[Even that joke doesn't stop him from grinning from ear to ear. It's just kind of fun to wave it around, and hear that tellatale hum. It really is a dream come true.]
You expect it to have more weight, but it's all hilt. It makes sense though.
Because this is a weapon of a hero. They gotta keep going, keep moving forward, have stamina, deflect...weird space shit. Y'know?
[He lowers the plasma sword, though he keeps it in his hands.]
I always wanted one of these. I wanted to be a hero, as a kid.
It's just weird to see self-loathing from the other side, is all.
Actually, it's cute. You're like a little puppy rolling around in garbage and licking yourself and thinking you taste like garbage because you've never had a proper bath in your life.

What's wrong with the kitchen?

Date: 2026-04-22 03:09 pm (UTC)Let's look for some good baking recipes sometime, maybe see about what sword works before getting me fit to lift it?

...he was sniffing like a canine don't worry about it.]
So these the Swords we trying today?
no subject
Date: 2026-04-28 11:21 pm (UTC)[he snorts, nodding]
Well, I tried to get a variety of what I thought you'd like. Most of them, sure. But first..
[Trevor reaches behind him to take from his belt what is unmistakably the hilt of a powered-down lightsaber]

Date: 2026-04-29 12:24 am (UTC)[He was grinning- and his eyes lit up, making a soft, near squeak.]
Oh fuck yeah. You seriously have it!
no subject
Date: 2026-04-29 12:30 am (UTC)[Trevor hands it over]
no subject
Date: 2026-04-29 04:25 am (UTC)[His laugh is soft, excited, and he slowly looks over the light saber. It's so cool. It's seeing a movie come to life- a story he loved.
He feels it with his hands, before carefully pointing it away from him and Trevor and figures out how to turn it on.
And he crows in triumph when he does.]

Date: 2026-04-29 05:09 pm (UTC)Well. Looks good on you.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-29 05:16 pm (UTC)[He's grinning, gently holding up the plasma sword with glee. It's like a dream come true, as he slowly waves it in the air.
Away from Trevor and himself of course.]
It's so light.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-30 02:53 am (UTC)[he's such a shit. Trevor grins, watching]
It definitely took some getting used to. I'm used to air resistance, weight balance. This one had none of it.

Date: 2026-04-30 03:57 am (UTC)Weapons don't really make heroes. Heroes are insane. You don't want to be a hero, Shrimp.
But, I'll give you one thing. It is a pretty deadly weapon in the right hands.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-30 01:10 pm (UTC)Being able to protect people.
[He turns it off, and offers it back, his expression sober.]
Being wanted. I know heroes aren't real, Trevor. And I could never be one.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-30 04:03 pm (UTC)But you can be a good man. A great man, who tries his best no matter what. That's so much better than some mythical savior, because you're real.
You understand?
[he takes it back, but slow]
no subject
Date: 2026-04-30 04:16 pm (UTC)[He shakes his head though, as he gives the light saber back.]
There's no best, Trevor. I can't be a great man. Or a great person. I'm not even a man. I'm just...trash.
Dangerous trash.
no subject
Date: 2026-04-30 04:22 pm (UTC)He chuckles. Grinning, shaking his head.]
