[Video]

[The video starts with a view of a powerfully built dwarven woman inspecting the edges of a variety of blades. In the background behind her a forge glows with brilliant heat, and some bars of metal are clearly waiting in the heat. The shot pans to show off more of the forge before turning back to look at Lauri-Ell, in her own sturdy shirt and leather smithing apron.]

Good day all. After the recent announcement from the guard that there seems to be a danger in the streets at night, Master Gili has decided that for a time Bay Blades shall be working to turn out more weapons for the use of those who might seek additional protection if they are out after dark.

None of these blades are going to be commission quality, but they will be functional. It is Gili's hope that we shall be able to defend ourselves if it comes needful.

Both of us believe that it is wiser to remain in after dark, and avoid secluded areas, as the guard has advised. We also believe there are many who will not choose this route. Those may wish to be armed.

Please, be careful. The loss of any diminishes us all.

If you have questions, you may as them here, or come see us. Thank you.

[The video then ends. And, true to her word, anyone might come to the smithy to speak to her or make their purchases.]

That's a pretty generous offer! Maybe it's time I learn how to use a weapon other than a staff. [ She puts a hand to her chin and lets out a light laugh. Someone has to try to lighten the mood. ] I hope you haven't run into anything bad yourself.

Hello Lauri. It is nice to see you again. [It's a little awkward to speak through the phone but Inesa is trying her best. She doesn't have a natural ability when it comes to technology.]

I would be interested in a sword if it is not too much trouble. That is, I have been learning. And I can use magic but sometimes it is a bit harder for me to control and a sword might be safer for others.

[kree_soldieress]

It is nice to see you as well, friend Inesa. And it would be no trouble either. Tell me what form of blade you prefer?

[Was she even training? Perhaps a long knife might be better. Lauri wants to give her what she desires though.]

[kree_soldieress]

If you wish to keep to a staff, I'm sure the wood workers could help. And Gili and I could affix a metal cap to the ends.

[She shakes her head.]

No, there has been nothing bad for me. But I am home by the dark hours, to rest and tend the plants.

[cetrary]

I'd kinda like to learn how to use other weapons, honestly. Is that weird? [ She'd probably be told no by other people. ]

Good! I hope it stays that way for you. I've...gone to visit a few of the locals that encountered whatever it is out there. It seems pretty bad for them.

[kree_soldieress]

No, it is not very strange. I never handled a hammer until I gained the one I have. Perhaps your true weapon awaits you yet.

You should come to us.

[cetrary]

How'd you know the hammer was the one for you?

[kree_soldieress]

It sang.

[cetrary]

Sang? Hmm I didn't know weapons could do that. What do they sound like?

[unknownmoirai]

Jon is teaching me how to use a sword but I would honestly be more comfortable with a smaller blade.

Perhaps you have a suggestion for me?

[kree_soldieress]

I know of no Jon, but I am glad you are learning. If someone is teaching you, it should be something they guide you in choosing. It is better they teach you with a blade they understand.

[kree_soldieress]

[That is a hard thing to describe. How it resonates in her bones, demanding attention. The song is alluring and frightening all at once, and a rush of joy as well.]

Like justice.

[cetrary]

Hmm, I'm not sure I really know how that sounds.

[kree_soldieress]

It is hard to describe. Most cannot fathom it.

[cetrary]

I think I can kinda get that idea. It's like what I hear from the flowers and the planet back home. It's really hard to explain it to other people.

[unknownmoirai]

I do not know if he spends a great amount of time around the city but he was sweet enough to teach me. We use a short wooden sword right now.

Could you perhaps make me a sword that is similar to my wooden practice sword?

[kree_soldieress]

If you bring it in, I can. I can try and create the same balance. Or similar.

[kree_soldieress]

Yes. Even those who are Accusers like me, who have carried the Weapon, do not always hear it.

[cetrary]

Do you know why that is?

[kree_soldieress]

I do not really understand the Hammer, if I am honest. It just is.

[unknownmoirai]

I will do that then.

Thank you Lauri.

[She'll also bring Lauri some freshly baked cookies since she's working so hard to help outfit those who need it.]

[kree_soldieress]

And you.

[Cookies will be amazing, actually. She's never had them before. That would be good.]

[unknownmoirai]

[ooc: are you okay handwaving this interaction as I have been slow lately? We can have them catch up again soon. I love their cr :D]

Re: ooc

[kree_soldieress]

[OOC: yeah, that's good.]
