prodigalmess[ The young man who comes on the mirror has a slight smile and a pair of large blue eyes. ]
For those of you whom I haven't met yet, my name is Malcolm Bright. I'm still relatively new here, but I wanted to talk for a minute about this.
[ He holds up a beautifully crafted sword, which he shows from all angles to show the details, then slowly pulls from the sheath. ]
This is a type of Vietnamese sword called a guom. If I had to guess, it's probably from the early nineteenth century, as you can see the French influence in the hilt. Most often, these were carried by high ranking officials or their bodyguards. You can see that it is clearly very high quality, with the ivory hilt and mother of pearl inlay on the scabbard. Oftentimes they were more for show than for function, but I've already tried this sword on a few things and it works very well. [ There might be a few hacked tree limbs and halved fruits lying around. ]
[ Malcolm furrows his brow. ] It's a beautiful piece and I'm honestly not sure that I'm worthy of such a gift. I guess it's a small consolation for being brought here against my will.
[ He turns his eyes back up to the mirror. ] Does everyone get a weapon? I'm curious to see what other people got.
[ ooc: now with linked photos! ]
