Black Panther has posed:
T'Challa finds a nice empty area of the park. There are even some bushes and trees nearby so while people can see them, it isn't like there will be tons of prying eyes. "Have you ever seen something like this before?" he asks as he pulls something from a pocket. "Or used something like it?" he asks.

He unrolls a coil of thin chain. There is a weight on one end, and a bladed weapon on the other. A kusarigama, the Japanese might call it. Or other names in other areas of the world. T'Challa passes it over to Jessica to inspect. The blade is completely blunted, and edged in rubber, as if a practice version of the weapon.

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica looks over the weapon that T'Challa holds out, tilting her head. "I've seen something like that...But the closest thing to it that I've ever used would be a knife-wielding squidling on the end of a web." She chuckles softly at that, and shakes her head. "Is it something you'd suggest?"

Black Panther has posed:
T'Challa raises an eyebrow slightly at the mention of a squidling wielding knives. "Well... maybe if this works out? We can work that into the name. Of what I hope might be a new combination move," he tells her. "I do not think a normal one of these is worth it. But the technique of it would be a good start," T'Challa says.

"The blade end. Not the blunt one. Once you feel confident in your control, we lose the chain and the blade goes on your web. Maybe we add a second, two at once? And if you feel they are useful weapons? Then at that point we replace the practice blades with vibranium knives."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
Jessica looks the weapon over apprehensively for a moment, then looks back up at T'challa. "But what kind of combination could be achieved with a weapon like this? I think I understand how it works, but I don't get what you meant by a 'combination move,' I suppose."

Black Panther has posed:
"It would not be quite the same amount of teamwork as our flying," T'Challa says. "But I may throw such blades in battle, if needed. You could retrieve them. Keep them from being used back against us. And turn them into your own weapon. But one you can still use at some distance," T'Challa says.

"I do not know how resistant, say, these Sentinels are to your blasts. But say they were? This might provide you another offensive weapon. Also, the fact you swing them? They can be used to hit people behind cover. Or attack from directions they are not facing," T'Challa says. "If you feel this would be helpful, I am willing to give you a set. We could also learn to pass them back and forth to each other. So if you need to free a web, I am there to catch and use the knife next."

Spider-Woman (Drew) has posed:
" Very well," Jessica replies with a nod. "I will learn to use this type of weapon, so that we can use our combined skills in battle in new ways. I'm certain it'll be effective, once I learn to use it."
