Hey I got my Animism back where do you want these awesome drugs so you can study them or whatever you wanted to do?

Also, how long is that gonna take?

Re: text;

[forgingfires]

Probably a week with the move and opening the shop.

[wildwarden]

A WEEK

I want to get high with you now!

[text] ⸻ un: copycat

[fromshadows]

Hello Red Son! We're about to have an influx of orders :)

Two newcomers by the name of Maki and Yuta Okkotsu are katanas users but have obviously arrived without them. Yuta wants to get one made for Maki, and I assume he will want one for himself, too.

Luz Noceda will placing an order for a beginner's straight sword, and I may have hyped up your artistic abilities to her, so she's looking forward to seeing your work.

And Webby wants a set of armor, she has a design in mind. I'm going to get her in to get her measurements.

I'm also talking to a couple others about weapons, and will keep you updated.

Re: [text] ⸻ un: copycat

[forgingfires]

Got it. Remember, katanas aren't simple since I can't just sculpt most of that process by hand.

[The free stuff is largely because he can just use the metal like clay to like ninety percent completion.]

I'll sort out the proper metal for those.

The Artist Kid has approached me. She may also come watch some time. Just make sure she's wearing the PPE if she's hanging around, she already knows to not copy me.

I'm honestly surprised Duck Girl didn't come in sooner for armor. She's very spirited. That design is more than doable, though I'll need to experiment how to get that shade of pink.

[fromshadows]

I know! I'll make sure they're aware there's a wait time.

[ Katanas are, after all, reasonably effort-heavy to forge if done traditionally. Blake's own short katanas are testament to that. ]

I'd be happy to have Luz come watch, if she likes :) I'll make sure we have spare PPE for any visitors.

That pink will definitely be a challenge, and I'm not entirely sure if we could even make a sword that shade. Painted armor would be easy enough, but would pink tinted metal even be possible?

[ One morning, as your character steps out of their home, they are greeted by an owl messenger, bearing a letter. The letter tells them that they have been selected to participate in a gift exchange, and they are to deliver a gift to Gale of Waterdeep by the end of the month. The letter says nothing more, and once the letter is read, the owl will fly away. ]

Are you busy right now?

[forgingfires]

Nothing that I can't do later if you need something.

[wildwarden]

I need to give you something. Come see me in the garden? I'm under the willow tree, like usual.

Christmas Gift

[fallendragon]

[On the 24th Red Son will find a box with his name along with a holiday card that reads,]

Merry Christmas!
- Arrakis Faylare

[Inside the box are three things. A smaller box labeled From your not so secret Santa, a small bag of chocolates and a personalized chess set!

Inside the smaller box is a medicine chest with a carved border of leaves, that Arrakis has repurposed as a spice rack with all kinds of local spices, especially spicy ones for Red Son to broaden his culinary horizons with.

His chocolates are shaped like a flame and they are as spicy as Arrakis could make them. They also have a hint of cinnamon and coffee. Cinnamon for him being a comforting presence for Arrakis and coffee because Red Son has seen the uglier side of his magic and still stayed as his friend.

The board itself is wooden with light wood from the white squares and black wood that has been made to look like it's scorched for the black ones. The lighter wood squares have a flame painted on them and the border for his board is made of many, polished nails, creating a striped, metallic design. It's his way to thank Red Son for what he said to him on the network. Carved on the bottom of one of the black knights are Arrakis's initials, AF.]

[ holiday delivery! ]

[fromshadows]

[ Red Son will find several presents sitting outside his door, wrapped in black wrapping paper with purple bows. The first is a small box containing a bull bracelet that Blake has painstakingly forged herself. The second is a bamboo container containing freshly made dumplings with a spicy tuna filling. ]

This was not the first world she had been to, so she was familiar with the concept of people leaving without warning. Hell, people she had been close to had already up and vanished during her time in the town. But none of them had been as close to her as Halsin was, none had left a hole in her heart like his absence did the moment she could not find his name on her Oracle.

She frantically checked the others - Red Son, Meryl, Arrakis. All present, all still with her. For how long though?

Night Sky's message to Red Son was brief and shockingly to the point -

Halsin is gone.

Re: text;

[forgingfires]

Well, this will be a good trial run for Apprentice to mind the shop on her own.

Where are you?

[wildwarden]

In the room you made me.

More specifically, lying face down on the bed in the underground room he had made for her, texting and trying not to cry.

[amongfriends]

I would like to commission you. Are you accepting work?

Re: text. un: gamora | backdated to prior to Alice's birthday

[forgingfires]

Yes, I am. What do you want?

[amongfriends]

I was hoping one of my rings could be altered to fit Alice and grow with her. I am aware it is a long shot. A trusted friend recommended you so I ask regardless.

text un: mooncancer (sorry meant to ask if we can back date to 12/01 ish)?

[devilishkouhai]

looking for your shop, wherez it at?

Sure!

[forgingfires]

Below Castle Emberglow, by the forest. [With more identifiable landmarks here.]

[devilishkouhai]

Oh okay! I didn't realize you had your workshop in your castle, but 2 B Fair BB set up an infirmary for anyone who wants to stop by in hers, too, so it makes sense.

cant trust these locals anymore w anything really.

12/25 gift delivery!!

[devilishkouhai]

[ A box is left outside Red Son's Castle, with the following items!

Obtained
x1 Box of Chocolates
x1 A metal insulated cup to keep cold or hot beverages inside. It has an image of a cute stylized Mug Logo with an image of a fire, then text on it with Red Son's Store name: Flame and Claw. This is very basic looking and was clearly made here in Somnius.
x1 Photonic Crystal

Letter/Card: Thanks for the help, let me know if u do anything with it ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧ - BB

By it, she means the Photonic Crystal. ]

Christmas Gifts!

[fallendragon]

Arrakis waited until the night of the 24th to deliver his gift. He winced as the floorboards creaked as he made his way to The Flame and Claw. Without his magic he couldn't silence his steps and he swore he stepped on every creaky floorboard on the way down.

When he finally made it to his destination he left a box on Red Son's desk. Inside was a note in fancy calligraphy that read:

Happy Holidays Red Son,
Arrakis Faylare

Inside is a lamp with a red dragon curled around the base. Now Danzu can keep Red Son company when he's working. Inside the box is also a small bag of homemade chocolates in the shape of a flame, with coffee and cinnamon, and as much spice as he could add without the chocolates being completely overshadowed.

Hello. You make things?

Re: [VOICE] un:razor

[Have the peppy customer service voice.]

Why yes, I do. I am the head artisan of the Flame and Claw. What are you looking to have made?
