[After approximately ten years figuring out how to use his laptop, it's really a blessing that the forum is so simple, Phoenix delights in how similar this is to writing and throws out an offer to Chroma.]

i made a discovery the other day.
theres a forge near the center of town but it doesnt look like its been used in awhile.
i realized recently that i cant do the same things everyone else does but this is something i am good at.
so if its okay id like to take over the forge.
i can make and repair tools and weapons if necessary you just need to show me what you want.

[Okay, maybe not that similar, he still has a lot to learn, and he totally forgot to even introduce himself, but he'll probably pick it up. Some day.]

I had no idea we had both a forge and a smithy! This is marvelous!

[heirofembers]

my people are known for our crafts so I had to learn growing up
I found that I like what I can do when I can just disappear among the sparks with a hammer and a chunk of ore
the forge looks like it was probably picked over for supplies but its dusty now
I don’t think anyone thought about it after clearing it

[troubadamsel]

I'm sure you'll have many offers for both help with your craft and orders for their weapons. Be prepared!

[heirofembers]

i hope so
this place isn't what i expected when i left home
its weird being around people who dont mind that i don't want to fight
who dont expect more from me

[troubadamsel]

I'm sorry to hear the circumstances aren't the same back home. Some people aren't made for battle, and honestly, some shouldn't be.

Interesting. I may need your work in the future. What's your name?

[heirofembers]

phoenix.
I can have it ready in two days I just need to make sure all the equipment I need is stable or repaired.

[tropism]

Can you make household items? Other equipment? Are you good with reading blueprints, if it's an item you're not familiar with in your world?

[heirofembers]

i dont see why not
if nothing else you can tell me what it’s for and I can make the closest tool i can to achieve the same effect
i wont know until i see it though

[tropism]

The timing is too early. I won't have anything to show or ask at the moment.

But that's good to hear. Thank you. My name is Giorno. I'll get back to you soon enough.

That's a really good idea Phoenix! I don't think anyone would mind if you used the forge. If there's anything you need help moving let me know!

I don't know what kind of weapons to ask for, but would you mind making a knife? One that I could use in the kitchen.

[heirofembers]

i should have guessed youd be most interested in food prep tools
of course. do you want just the one or a set?

and
if its okay i could use some help setting up? i need to clean and move things around before i can even think about shaping

[awamori]

Hmm, it would be nice to have a set
Would it be alright for me to ask for a set?
I wouldn't want to ask for something so big so soon.

Sure! Whenever you get ready to do it let me know!

[heirofembers]

yeah why wouldnt it be
itll be easiest to repair them if this town has enough abandoned knives lying around, but given enough metal ill be able to make you a good one

i'm starting today
if i'm diligent enough i can have this place running in a couple days

[awamori]

i didn't want to give you too much work when you just started
thank you! it will make preparing food so much easier

Okay, let me finish up a few things here
i'll join you in a bit!

i'm sure you will

[satanslash]

oh neat i didnt know that was a forge
could you maybe make like
kitchen knives?
i have some but theyre really old and hard to use

[heirofembers]

yeah that wont be a problem
can you bring in the ones you have? ill take a look and see if they can be restored or if i need to make you new ones

[satanslash]

sure thing
theyre pretty beat up but either way ill just be happy to have something that isn't about to roll in to my fingers with every cut

[heirofembers]

i can give you top of the line knives in no time at all
better that than letting you use dangerous equipment
doesnt anyone know how to use a sharpening stone at least?

[satanslash]

couldnt ever find one trust me i looked
i did get some river stones for cleaning them up as best as i could but theyre so damned old at this point that the sharpening lasts maybe a week at most before going dull again
course im a chef not a knife... maker person so i could be doing it all wrong for all i know

[ colour! ]

you're a blacksmith??
that's gnarly, dude

[heirofembers]

yeah
my people are exceptional on an anvil. ive learned almost from the time i could hold the hammer
whats gnarly?

[retrobeats]

that's super cool!
i've never met anyone who could do that sorta thing before. i've seen videos but that's totally not the same
and gnarly's kinda the same vibe as awesome or really good?? the way i just used it there anyways

[heirofembers]

is it? [Oh my god, he's flustering? What are compliments????]
if youre not bothered by heat and promise to be careful i can show you?
gnarly [You can almost hear him testing the word and filing it away into his vocabulary (pronounced geh-narly).] awesome

[retrobeats]

[ oh no that's endearing... go forth armed with your new slang, young padawan ]

yeah dude it really is!
and i would be SO down with seeing how it's done for real!! i hand over my heart, boy scout promise that i will be super careful if you ever wanna show me.
how hot are we talking?
