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.

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?

Wow, I had no idea! All of the weapons that I'm familiar with from Remnant were all either grey or black metal -- it's common to paint weapons, but I can't think of any color-tinted steel.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with that, then, I'd love to learn the process.
