Right? I figured... See, that's the hard part of wanting to live somewhere peaceful enough that there's no war, but not so rigid that we can't still use our swords.
Adolphe and I are part of a group calls the Corps—the Royal Guard don't do much for the common people, so we step up anytime people need help. It's not that we brandish swords without a reason, but it is part of the lives we're used to.
Though I do know that any world match probably isn't going to be perfect.
Wow, you guys are like... defenders of the public? Okay.
[ cool... he tilts his head, nodding vaguely in understanding. yeah, there wasn't really an equivalent he could think of back home at all, and being used to a life like that would be difficult to transfer from completely. ]
Honestly, you guys would probably fit in on Cray. [ a thoughtful hum. ] I wonder if that's a possibility, somehow, since my Earth isn't directly connected to it anymore...
[ the little thought manages to get yves to beam a bit, proud. he loves being part of the corps, just as much as he loved every other part of his life.
So the cards that I have are for a game called Vanguard. It's a popular game where I'm from, and Cray is the planet that's the setting of the story behind it. It's considered fictional to most, but it's a place that actually exists. [ pauses to consider how to word this... ] It used to be linked to my Earth, a connection that made the planets have a little influence over each other, though that's been cut off now.
It's a really big and diverse place. Technology better than ours, magic, a whole bunch of different species... but stuff like your Corps are pretty commonplace. Knights with weaponry aren't strange at all.

What's the policy on swords in public and the frequency of sword fights?
no subject
No and no, usually. Weaponry in public generally's kind of... illegal. There's sword-based sports, though.
