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.))

[And so Vivi will bundle up against the cold and grab her weapons to head down to the smithy. It's not all that far from the Strawhat house, so it won't be long before she enters, looking around curiously.]
[action]
[action]
[action]
But he pulls off the goggles and nods in greeting.]
Hey. What can I do for you?
[action]
I brought my weapons for you to have a look at.
[Vivi pulls out a standard Peacock Slasher, which is essentially a jeweled blade affixed to a flexible wire with an adjustable length. There's a small ring on the other end of the wire that will slip easily onto her pinky finger. She's also brought a Peacock String Slasher, which has a chain of edged discs in place of the wire, but is otherwise similar. She holds them out to Sokka.]
[action]
... um, right. That's fancy. But where's the weapons?
[action]
These are my weapons.
[action]
... are you sure?
[action]
[Slipping the ring of one Slasher onto her left pinky, she takes a few steps back from Sokka and sets the jeweled blade spinning on a short length of wire. Her control is excellent, but better safe than sorry. She selects a target--that anvil will do, since she doesn't want to actually damage anything--and sends the blade toward it with a deft flick of her wrist, taking care not to use too much force lest she chip the edge. It strikes neatly and she gives the wire a tug, pulling the blade back to catch it safely between two fingers.]
[She turns back to Sokka expectantly. He gets it now, right?]
[action]
A KILLER YO YO.
That's pretty awesome. Maybe not the most practical sort of weapon he's ever seen, but it's certainly discrete.]
Wow. That's pretty neat.
[action]
So, do you think you'd be able to make copies?
[action]
Well, I'll need to keep 'em here for awhile. I haven't made anything like this before. But... [He lets it swing a bit from the cord.] Yeah, probably.
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
[action]
That's just what I was thinking.
About how long do you think it will take? Not that there's any rush right now... [Though who knows what tomorrow will bring.]
