Chibi-Xu: Welcome to omake theatre, where we hope to nurture the growth of learning! Chibi-Raven: Clever pun, Xu-chan. Chibi-Sean: [mocking] Clever pun, Xu- *OUCH!* Chibi-Xu: [glares at Chibi-Sean after withdrawing her fist from hitting his nose] As I was saying, today we'll be looking at Gunblades. The newest weapon in the SeeD arsenal. Chibi-Sean: Cid must have been drunk when he commissioned them to be made... [Chibi-Ifrit scene change!] Scene: Cid's office. Chibi-Cid: Weapons, weapons, hum.. A combat pen-knife doesn't seem intimidating enough. And the spoon knife was already used in another Final Fantasy. I know, I'll combine the two most unlikely weapons that I can think of! [Chibi-Shiva scene switch!] Chibi-Sean: --; Why does that not surprise me? [Chibi-Xu pops up besides a display that has a diagram of a Gunblade on it. The image is slowly rotating so that the 'hilt' that doubles as the gun's grip is up front before it spins to show off the blade.] Chibi-Xu: This is the Gunblade used by Squall Leonhart. The gun's grip would seemingly be awkward for fencing with the extended length blade, but nothing could be further from the truth! [Chibi-Xu pauses in her explination to kick Chibi-Sean, who is making a shoveling motion in the background.] Chibi-Xu: Needless to say, such a weapon requires an expert to wield it properly. But before the students can be taught, the Weapons Masters must learn the weapon themselves. [Chibi-Siren scene change!] Chibi-Xu: [peering down the 'barrel' of the blade] Does this thing take ammo? Chibi-Raven: Um.. I dunno.. I'm guessing these are rounds..? [holds up some cartridges that came in the foam case with the weapon] Chibi-Xu: I don't know anything about guns. I guess that means you'll have to teach it. [gives her most endearing 'I-don't-want-to-do-this-shit-job-so-you-do-it' smile] Chibi-Raven: Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute there! It's also a sword. You've gotta help! [Chibi-Xu sighs and continues to look for the gun's barrel] Chibi-Raven: Hmm... If I lengthen the handle and change the angle of the grip it'll resemble a nagamaki more... Chibi-Xu: Um... You can't do that. Chibi-Raven: Why not? Chibi-Xu: Because then it won't be a Gunblade. Chibi-Raven: But... Chibi-Xu: Sorry. Chibi-Raven: ... [Chibi-Diablos scene switch!] Chibi-Diablos: I am *not* chibi. Chibi-Siren: Sure you are. Chibi-Diablos: I *insist*... Chibi-Siren: Oh, hush. *Silent Voice* [an annoyed Chibi-Demon with a X across his mouth going '...' and a giggling Chibi-Siren.] Chibi-Xu: As you can see, we've come a long ways since our first encounter with a Gunblade. Squall has done a wonderful job of mastering the newest of weapons available to us. As members of SeeD, we'll continue to be on the cutting edge of weapon technology! Chibi-Sean: [making gagging noises] And people say *I* make bad puns... Chibi-Raven: I still say I can alter the thing...
