Ah, another posit for advertising small business but anyone would be foolish to not utilize the network like this. I've opened a Tinker Emporium—that is, a Tinker, Salvage, and Repair shop. I'll fix or if it's within my means even enhance your broken wares, machines, items, trinkets, and weapons. Or add decorative aesthetic touches to them, I'm quite fond of that. The TSR is located in Shitaya, Tokyo.

I prefer yen but I'm amendable to alternate forms of payment such as discreet trade.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

[ not that he would ever have need of such a thing, given the relative peace of this era in comparison to where and when he was usually summoned, but it was a good thing to keep in his thoughts for when the need might suddenly arise. ]

And what of magical artifacts from another world?

Limited experience, admittedly, but no small amount of ambition for them. Magic's not really a thing where I'm from... working with arcane sciences and spectral energy is about the next closest thing.

Kizuna here has so many applications.

What sort of artifacts are we speaking of?

THE SIGNIFICANCE IS NOT LOST ON HIM

[skysilverknight]

Your spirit is commendable. I am only vaguely familiar with arcane sciences and spectral energy on a basic level, but my expertise lies more in magecraft and the application of magic. Even so, what I would have you repair is nothing so complex, nor do I have need of your services at present.

But if it were a sword, perhaps, and if it should come to be damaged during my stay here, might I call on you to repair it?

[historicallyloaded]

Do keep me in mind for future then, magecraft sounds quite curious.

Of course. I've already made inquiries with one Mister Cloud Strife and his remarkable sword.

[skysilverknight]

I will gladly do that.

[ a pause. moments later, another text comes through. ]

I am curious as to the nature of your user name. Do you hail from Britain?

[historicallyloaded]

Afraid not; from the costal port city of Doskvol, in Akoros. I'm currently the sole heir of the Penderyn family.

Does it sound "Britainish"?

[skysilverknight]

Only in the sense that it's very similar to Pendragon. It's not a terrible important revelation, but just another similarity, I suppose.

I cannot claim to know of the Penderyn family, but that also might be after my time.

[historicallyloaded]

It'd be very funny if we were somehow related. Most likely just a coincidental similarity! [ Unless you're also blonde haired and green-eyed. ]

Oh, what is "magecraft", by the way?

[scarredhorns]

"Discreet trade?" Like what?

[historicallyloaded]

Goods that may or may not be considered more on the contraband-y side of things, if you catch my drift.

[scarredhorns]

Oh I see!

Now I'm a little embarrassed, though... When I saw the words discreet trade, my mind thought of something else.

[If he's able to catch her drift.]

[historicallyloaded]

Oh. I see.

[ Unfortunately she's talking to Lord Brickston Overthinks Everything Penderyn. ]

......what is that?

[scarredhorns]

[Thankfully, Nyuu is sweet, so she doesn't wrongly assume that Bricks is teasing her. Even so, she's totally blushing right now as she types her next message.]

The trading of sexual favors.

I'm sorry. With Jikan being the kind of place that it is, that was the first thing that came to my mind.

[Being in Jikan for so long has done things to her.]

[historicallyloaded]

OH. Oh.

That's... that's understandable? With how, um, open and encouraging some of the culture is around here... and I suppose native flora and fauna. In regards to that.

N-not that'd I'd ask that.

Is that kind of exchange really so common...?

[scarredhorns]

I wouldn't say such an exchange was uncommon in my world, but it certainly wasn't as open like it is here. It was more of an underhanded thing.

I'm sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.

[She knows she already said sorry, but now she feels bad.]

[sultanofsquat]

That's more like it.

[ After seeing his various designs and his eagerness in observing his skills? Cloud can't help but smirk a little when he catches this post across the network. And knowing him, once he's gotten a little more money? Bricks may be seeing him for business rather than friendship sooner than later. ]

[historicallyloaded]

Oh by the way, your sword was a bit of an inspiration to me. In my spare time I've been working on a miniature replica with some... shall we say experimental enhancements.

[sultanofsquat]

Get out.

[ Whether linguo translates well over text, ]

What kinda experimental enhancements we talking here?

[historicallyloaded]

[ It absolutely does not. ] Get out... and go where?

Well, given its girthy size I figured why not utilize that for a dual purpose; storage! By expanding its width of the blade by just a few centimetres you increase the volume by a significant amount without compromising the structural integrity or strength of it.

Only issue I've been a little stuck on is the constrained shape of long and thin. Limits what else you can put in there that are of that shape.

...perhaps additional swords?

[sultanofsquat]

It's a saying.

[ Whoop. ]

A Buster Sword that can house different swords for different combat situations?

[historicallyloaded]

Exactly! A narrow katana-like blade for swiftness and precision. Several dozen throwing blades. A gun blade!

...Actually a gun blade all on its own sounds great...

But I digress; I suppose small provisions such as food and water could also be stored in it.

[sultanofsquat]

With your talent, Shinra'd be shoving money at you to work for them.

[historicallyloaded]

Who or what is Shinra?

[sultanofsquat]

[ Short answer? ]

Biggest power company that also has a military and weapons division.

[historicallyloaded]

Ah. Quite an impressive if potentially monolithic sounding industrial enterprise. No doubt they'd have no small amount of incredible resources to build whatever they want.

I mean I'd do this sort of thing for personal gratification, not typically for lack of money, but... I imagine they'd pay quite handsomely, yes.

[sultanofsquat]

You're better off without.

[ ... With the Shinra of current. ]

Anyway, bet you'll make a killing here, Bricks.

[historicallyloaded]

[ That is fortunately a phrase he gets. ]

I do hope to do so. Truth be told, I'm quite content just to put my hands to good use, but a cushion of money never hurts either... especially now that I'm bereft of family funding. I'll have to find my own way now.

Thank you for your support, Cloud.

[sultanofsquat]

[ He can't see it, but there's a light smile as he huffs in content, typing his next text back. ]

Don't mention it.
