Let's see, the Venom Sword's with Yuzette, the Mirrors are probably with Elluka, the Doll is Margarita, the Scissors are in Jakoku, the Spoon is probably with Kaspar and the Key is with Gatt. I somehow have doubts the mirrors are with Elluka but that's just me.

Master of Lemmings wrote: To answer your question about Gatt's speech patterns, Greek:

Gatt is a samurai and in literature samurai characters commonly use a more archaic form of Japanese. This works well in Japanese, when only samurai characters are expected to use it. It's a little cumbersome in English, however, as no one else is likely to use the language pattern (hence why I normally ignore the over formality when translating samurai characters). So no one else in Asmodean talks like that. ^ This is a good explanation for it. Usually, it gets translated with the thous, thees, and occasional Old English vocabulary. It's typical for samurais in literature (big shock for a Gackpo character). mothy is explaining it away as an Asmodean dialect from somewhere in the country, but the closest equivalent I can think of in the west are European knights speaking in medieval tongues.
