> That is fine. We now know what he does; we will likely have to resist when his 'something' tries to interfere with us again.
> Entity! I know you do not know or care how this insolent does what he does. But as long as he keeps transferring his pain, he will continue to go unpunished, and continue to spit in our face. When he tries it again, help me rebuke his efforts! Help me force him to experience his own pain!

>You call out to the sword's entity with your thoughts. It seems to hear and understand. You feel that it will assist your efforts.

>You try to ignore the pain in your left hand as you toss your umbrella aside and take the weapon in both hands. The hilt is a little small for this, but you think that you can compensate for it.
>While you have been gathering your wits, Rinnosuke has been walking around you.

>You strike at him with your weapon, smack him firmly in the stomach. He groans as the force of both your arms makes him stagger, and knocks him to his knees.
>You feel a sensation like before. This time, you resist it, asserting your place against it. As you flood your thoughts with assertions that you are above him, you can feel a cold, merciless feeling to that sensation. It reminds you that all prices must be paid.

> He must pay his price, yes! The price he owes for his insolence, for causing chaos throughout the land, for bullshitting his way into the minds of others for what amounts to nothing but seller's remorse, for declaring himself in a position above all others in determining how the universe itself should operate! He must pay for thinking himself above us! He must pay his price! He must recompense for his arrogance! He must feel all the pain he is given! Retribution for his insolence is at hand, and it is time for him to pay!

Woo double post

> Where does he get off, deeming us to be indebted to him? We are indebted to no man! All are indebted to us! For going out of our way to restore everyone's lives to normal! And this man has the nerve to claim we are indebted to him! He is indebted to us, for causing us so much aggravation and grief and not knowing his proper place! He shall fall before us! That is his lot, not some fictional debt!

Everything I have posted from 5:00 Eastern hs been from church, where we are currently busy celebrating God's gift to the world and joy and love in general. Writing these posts while here at this time makes me pretty sure I'm going to Hell.

>You point the weapon at him, drawing upon all the authority you've mustered to back it. You can certainly hear the steel in your words. For a moment, you think you see the glare give way to something else, something closer to terror, before it hardens again. "I've paid it," he says, "Or have you forgotten the jewels you carry?"
