Weaponsmith is in

[noonesblessing]

Since it looks like we're headed to a potential battleground, I'd like to offer my services as a weapon designer and maker.

[He shows a weapon and the different forms it has. A sword, a scythe and a shotgun.]

This is something I made myself, but there's no need to make it yours with multiple forms.

Let me know.

Hey, that's not bad at all. Little bit complicated, very Era Two, but it seems pretty solid.

[Congrats, you've impressed one of the other local weaponsmiths.]

Mind showing me an in-person demonstration someday?

[noonesblessing]

It's complicated enough so it can't be used by others. What do you mean by Era Two?

Sure. It's good to get some exercise in every once in a while.

[letsgetdowntobismuth]

I think the human term might be futuristic. Very fancy and high tech.

[noonesblessing]

Well, I would say the world I come from has pretty high tech. Gotta be, with our foes constantly testing our limits.

[dragoonrouge]

Another fellow weaponsmith!

Oh! We should all meet up and discuss our approaches to our craft!

[noonesblessing]

Sounds like a meeting my niece would enjoy.

Not saying I wouldn't, of course. Sounds interesting.

[dragoonrouge]

Excellent! I would be keen to see how compatible my metallurgy enchantments would be with other methods of weaponsmithing.

[noonesblessing]

I admit, I'm curious to see how the weapons I'm used to can evolve with different abilities coming to play.

[dragoonrouge]

Mayhaps after the next Jaunt would be the best time to get together?

[noonesblessing]

That likely works for the best, yes.

[duelingbanjou]

... Why would you need any weapon other than your fists?

[noonesblessing]

Because sometimes fists aren't enough, kid.

Even my niece who fights with fists has gauntlets with guns on them.

[duelingbanjou]

My armor gives my punches fire, and I've got a sword I can use, but there's nothing that I've found that can't be gotten rid of by punching it enough.

[noonesblessing]

You'll eventually come across a foe that your fists can't deal with. Though having fire is handy... got any way to add more elements to your armor?

[duelingbanjou]

Depends on the form. Cross-Z Magma does fire, Great Cross-Z is like... general energy? Looks a little electrical but it's not. Could use some of the other Fullbottles but I don't have them, Sento does. And I prefer my own stuff.

[noonesblessing]

Well, with so many different Travelers and skills, I bet more elements could be added by making stuff suitable to you. At least, it's good to keep in mind, even if you'd desire no change now.

[duelingbanjou]

I guess. Guns feel like they're cheating, though. Anyone can use a gun.

[noonesblessing]

Hmm... how about a crossbow? Or some other projectile.

[duelingbanjou]

Maybe... I like it being up close and personal, though. Way more my style.

[noonesblessing]

Each of us has their own way of fighting... but you know, sometimes having projectiles on you might turn the tides.

[darkmagiciangirl]

...I have recently been contemplating seeking out a weaponsmith to craft a weapon to replace one I left at home.

[There is a pause as she looks over Qrow's weapon.]

I like the hybrid nature of your design. It makes me want to construct something similar.

[noonesblessing]

Well, I can help with that. I've seen a variety of weapons back home, so I'd say I have a pretty good chance at knowing how to work with yours.

Including thinking of additional forms.

[darkmagiciangirl]

I want to combine a spell focus - like my scythe - but with the ability to turn into a great sword.

...And no, great swords aren't a good focus. The weight of them is all wrong. [Her tone is playful with that comment.]

[noonesblessing]

[He chuckles a bit.]

Well, I think there might be ways to work around that.

[desperate_times_right]

Okay, sweet. Don’t think I’ll need anything that fancy, but I could really use a pistol.

[noonesblessing]

I can definitely make you a perfectly normal pistol.

[desperate_times_right]

Years ago I used to have this cute little custom .45 with a flaming skull on the barrel, think you could whip me up something like that?

[noonesblessing]

I think I should be able to. Let me test some and I'll get back to you when I'm done.

[Though it may include a hidden place for a hidden knife, but that's fine right? It won't make the pistol any harder to use.]

Though if you happen to have the design for the skull, that would help.

[desperate_times_right]

[Honestly she probably could have used a hidden knife in the original, knock yourself out]

I’m no great artist, but I can probably ... make the drawing of it that I brought in to get the first one.

[noonesblessing]

That should be enough to replicate it. May not be as good as the original, but hey, it'll be similar.

[desperate_times_right]

If it doesn’t end up being chucked off a castle it’ll be better than the original.

[noonesblessing]

Gotcha. I'll contact you when I'm done.

(ooc: if you want, she can pick it up here! or at the new weapon meet and greet log)

[awitchdidit]

Oho.

Normally, I'm not someone who needs physical weapons, but the idea of a transforming device is an intriguing one, especially for those Jaunts where strange firearms might be less conspicuous than spells.

[noonesblessing]

Having a weapon in store for situations where magic doesn't work out is always a good plan, in my opinion. And I can definitely make something that's also good for more stealthy use... or at least part of the weapon, depending on what you'd want.

[awitchdidit]

That's not a bad idea. I have some experience from other lives using rifles, and I could likely figure my way around a smaller firearm as well, if that would be easier to make "stealthy".

[noonesblessing]

The Travelers are full of teachers, I'm sure. I myself use a shotgun attached to my weapon, so that's not much of help with smaller firearms.
