Sokka the 70th - [Action/Voice]

Okay, I just need everyone's attention for a minute. At least, those of you who, you know, like weapons.

I'm Sokka and I guess you could say I'm in charge of the weapon shop and smithy. I've been working with Leon Geeste, who is a kind of master alchemist guy, to make even better weapons. With his crests and my weapons, we can add a kind of magical element to them now. For instance, a sword can be given a fire element and that will make the blade burn and make it deadlier. Or a spear could be given an ice element that will freeze around the target a little. And, you know, other stuff. There's earth, air, and lightning elements too.

Anyway, these aren't always the easiest things to make, but... if it's a thing you want, we can do it. We've got stuff already made, but we can do something custom too. But just be practical, right? Sure, we might be able to figure out how to put crests into a hundred arrows. But we might also decide to, you know, have social lives too. These crests work best with a single weapon that you'll keep reusing. I can uh, explain it better, if you need me to.

[With that announcement out of the way, Sokka will hang out at the smithy until dinner time. He wants to be there and ready in case anyone wants these cool new unique weapons. Unless, of course, no one shows up. In which case he'll be at his work desk converting his alchemy notes into code, which is proving to be his least favorite thing to do ever. He kind of hates Ed now for telling him he had to do this. But it's what he has to do if he wants to prevent the secrets of meat alchemy from falling into the wrong hands. Who knows what people could do with that kind of power!

After closing up shop and doing his usual dinner at home, Sokka will be unusually taking a walk around the village in the evening. He's actually got a lot on his mind and without smithing or alchemy to occupy his thoughts, he's stuck on the Masaomi problem. He's half hoping that he'll run into the guy on the streets, but he's still not entirely sure how to approach the problem. Before the evening's over, he'll end up at Good Spirits, concerned and drowning his thoughts into a nice tall glass of... hot chocolate. Because that's what men do. Drink tall cups of hot chocolate with tiny marshmallows and whipped cream.]

((ooc: Some more details on the crafted weapons can be found over here.))

[Kick...a-pows...]

...Right. That's, um. The next logical step, of course.
dragoneer: (Clearly I'm fabulous.)

[They do go hand in hand!]

Right, right, fair enough. If you create something truly awful, let me know. We can keep it for next year's Snoggletog.

Well, just--if any of your meat transmutations go wrong, we can keep it for a few months and let mold grow on it and it'd be a perfect centerpiece.

[It may even put the Trial Meatloaf to shame.]

What can I say. Vikings like things that are...kind of the opposite of pretty.

Oh, absolutely. I should show you my sketches. They're real lookers, let me tell you.

Hey, as far as the Berk dragons go, Toothless is as sleek as they come. The others are...pretty grisly, actually.
dragoneer: (Ayyup.)

[personal profile] dragoneer 2012-02-18 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
Well--I wouldn't say picked out. No one even knew what a Night Fury looked like before I found Toothless.
dragoneer: (Ayyup.)

Not shy. Just reclusive. I've never seen another Night Fury, either. ...He might be the only one.
dragoneer: (Or we could all get killed.)

[personal profile] dragoneer 2012-02-19 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
It could be any number of things, but it's possible. [He strokes his nonbeard.] There weren't even any other Night Furies at the nest, but there are lots of rare dragons that only get seen every once in a blue moon. So they could be out there. Somewhere.
dragoneer: (I'd rather not.)

action;

[personal profile] dragoneer 2012-02-21 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiccup gives a shrug.] I guess it depends on if there are any other Night Furies out there. If there are, well...who knows. It'd be nice if there were more of them, though. They were the deadliest and most sought after for a reason.

Hey, it's not so bad when they're on your side.

[Really, it's a miracle Astrid hasn't come after Toothless yet.]
dragoneer: (Boredom)

[personal profile] dragoneer 2012-02-22 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, well--it's not like we're using them to attack other tribes or anything. But I guess if that did happen we'd be in pretty good shape.
