Scythe I (Planning)

[21:42] Katrin Weiss asks, "Did you need somethin'? Or are you just doin' your thing?"
[21:42] Henry de Vir says, "I'm ready to die, Kay. Make me a weapon."
[21:42] Katrin blinks. She turns her head slowly to Henry.
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:42] Katrin Weiss says, "Die for...well. What? "
[21:43] Henry de Vir says, "No real purpose. "
[21:43] Katrin Weiss asks, "Just feel like. I dunno. Kickin' off, huh?"
[21:44] Henry de Vir says, "I thought your work was cursed."
[21:44] Katrin huffs softly. She takes a cloth from her pockets and starts wiping off her hands.
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:44] Katrin Weiss says, "Yeah. For everyone involved, apparently."
[21:45] Katrin Weiss says, "There's a few out there that ain't croaked yet."
[21:45] Katrin Weiss says, "...Its just my best work that ends up bein' cursed."
[21:45] Katrin Weiss says, "If I believed in karma? I'd blame that, to be honest."
[21:45] Katrin Weiss asks, "But I don't, so. You really after a weapon, or what?"
[21:47] Henry de Vir says, "If it'll free me from this mortal coil.."
[21:47] Henry de Vir says, "I'll be right back."
[21:50] Katrin Weiss says, "Welcome back."
[21:50] Katrin Weiss says, "We needin' to step inside for this, or..."
[21:50] Henry de Vir says, "Yeah, lets head in."
[21:51] Katrin Weiss says, "I just got the place rennovated, so-"
[21:51] Katrin Weiss says, "..."
[21:51] Katrin Weiss says, "Well."
[21:52] Katrin Weiss says, "Okay first off.."
[21:52] Katrin Weiss says, "This is A LOT."
[21:52] Katrin Weiss says, "Don't tell me you want this ALL in one weapon at once."
[21:52] Katrin Weiss asks, "...Or do ya?"
[21:52] Henry de Vir says, "It has to be the stuff of legends."
[21:52] Katrin Weiss says, "Then a question for ya."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss asks, "Do you have enough COIN to buy the stuff of legends, Henry?"
[21:53] Henry de Vir says, "Money is of no concern."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss says, "Hm."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss asks, "What kinda' magics you use?"
[21:53] Henry de Vir says, "I am relatively well off."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss says, "The cosmic, I know."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss says, "Cosmic and your wayfindin'."
[21:53] Katrin Weiss asks, "What else?"
[21:54] Henry de Vir says, "Forget the cosmic."
[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "I am wantin' to keep it in line with what magic you use."
[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "So."
[21:54] Henry de Vir says, "I have no desire to hear the whispers of some star in my head."
[21:54] Henry de Vir says, "Metaphysical. "
[21:54] Katrin blinks. Only a bit taken aback.
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "...Alright then."
[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "All of these'll fall in line for that, maybe. 'Cept for that."
[21:54] Katrin points to the magmatic shard.
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:54] Henry de Vir says, "Power core."
[21:54] Henry de Vir says, "A focus."
[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "Honestly. Was gonna say I could maybe take it as payment. But if you wanna pay the full amount, then that's fine."
[21:54] Katrin Weiss says, "Or at least partial payment."
[21:55] Katrin Weiss says, "So the shard as a power core then."
[21:55] Katrin Weiss says, "Those fragments for further focus..."
[21:55] Katrin Weiss says, "That big black thing."
[21:56] Katrin Weiss says, "Can form it along that scythe's edge."
[21:56] Henry de Vir says, "Perhaps they can be coalesced into one."
[21:56] Katrin Weiss says, "And can honestly reforge that scythe entirely with the moon arcanium."
[21:56] Henry de Vir says, "The fragments."
[21:56] Katrin Weiss says, "Well, if I knew a crystal magi, sure."
[21:56] Katrin Weiss says, "Or someone good enough with earth."
[21:56] Henry de Vir says, "The arcanium will be imbued, attuned to the lifestream."
[21:57] Katrin Weiss asks, "With that thread there, yeah?"
[21:57] Henry gestures to the bundle of twine bound parchment.
(Henry de Vir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:57] Katrin Weiss says, "Well. And that. Whatever that is."
[21:58] Katrin Weiss asks, "You're givin' me a lot to work with here. This won't happen over night. Y'know that, right?"
[21:58] Henry de Vir says, "The methodology of how to achieve thus is within."
[22:00] The artificer grumbles, pinching the bridge of her nose. She looks all along the gathered items again.

"This will be. A ****in' undertakin'. I hope you know that," she remarks. She outlines her plan anew.

"So. Reforgin' that scythe with the moon arcanium. Sure."

"Attunin' it to the lifestream with those notes you got and...that thread. Alright. Think we can do that."

"Then takin' that core. Givin' the scythe a nice, dark edge. Somethin' sharp, somethin' potent and cuttin'."

"The hunk of magma? Power core source. Alright, I get that."

"And those fragments...findin' some way to combine 'em into four. Or, my suggestion, would be to arrange 'em around the power core source you got to further amplify it.

What're your thoughts, Henry?"
(Katrin Weiss)

[22:03] Katrin Weiss has placed Orichalcum Amulet into the chest.
[22:03] {Item} You drop Bluesteel Legs.
[22:03] {Item} You picked up Steel x2.

[22:03] Katrin Weiss has placed Blue Mercury into the chest.
[22:03] Katrin Weiss has placed Steel (x2) into the chest.
[22:07] Henry de Vir says, "Hmm.."
[22:38] {Item} You drop Bluesteel Legs.
[22:39] {Item} You picked up Steel x2.
[22:39] {Item} You picked up Blue Mercury..
[22:39] Katrin Weiss has placed Steel (x2) into the chest.
[22:39] Katrin Weiss has placed Blue Mercury into the chest.
[22:42] Katrin Weiss says, "i"
[22:42] Katrin Weiss says, "can tell"
[22:47] {LONG DISTANCE FROM: Adrian Ivanovich}: Adrian Ivanovich's Letter To Katrin Weiss, 1847, Dear Katrin,

The court has a mission for an artificer of your caliber. A project unlike anything you've worked on thus far. We will speak more in depth in person, as the matter is rather sensitive.

See you soon.

Yours, Adrian.
[22:53] Cerulean sights sweep across the host of materials presented, not quite lingering upon any in particular.

"I suppose I should vocalize the purpose I want it to serve, huh? And maybe the origins of that scythe."

An ink-stained hand rises to absentmindedly stroke at his chin as he gathers his thoughts. It'd be a moment until he finally speaks.

"The original wielder of that colossal weapon was what I could only assume to be some corrupted primordial that resided upon the surface of the moon. It took the combined efforts of about a dozen magi to subdue it.

As for the purpose I intend for it to serve, that'd have to be cleansing Eternia of evil."

He gestures of the glittering fragments, the shimmering strand, and the notes.

"I want it to be the bane of the wicked. The unnatural. The corrupt. The undead and the vampires, in specific. The reaper of the lifestream.

The process you described, I don't see an issue with it.

But I implore you to keep in mind, as you work on it, that the purpose of the weapon isn't to sever mortal flesh."
(Henry de Vir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:58] "I usually like that, yeah," she drawls lazily, taking a soothe reed cigarette from its case and placing it between her lips. As Henry muses, she lights it.

And as he further expounds on its purpose, she puffs away pensively, looking over all the materials.

"Hm. Real specific. Honestly. Better when they're more specific. It's all about...intent. Y'know?" The words are almost absent minded as she envisions the final product. Its processes, its creation.

Its purpose.

She takes a deep breath.

"Right. This'll take a while. This ain't somethin' I can slap together in one night. I'll likely need to get some people to have a hand in helpin' with a few things too.

Though if you want to keep it discrete, they can work on lil' parts without ever seein' the whole. I got measures for that." She lightly ashes her cigarette and continues to do her own musings.

"We'll start negotiations at fifty thousand. Like I said. This'll be an undertakin'. Not to look down on your mission, but this will put a lot of MY work on the sidelines.

You wanna negotiate? We can talk price."
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[22:58] Katrin Weiss says, "Guess I ain't really all that surprised, with its purpose. We never talked a -lot-..."
[22:58] Katrin Weiss says, "But I remember our talks well 'nough."
[22:58] Katrin Weiss says, "Some might even say I remember 'em fondly."
[22:59] Henry de Vir says, "That's..good to hear."
[23:00] Henry de Vir says, "I intend to be involved in the process too, Kay."
[23:00] Katrin Weiss says, "I'd hope."
[23:00] Henry de Vir says, "It'd only make sense, as I can freely access the lifestream."
[23:01] Katrin Weiss says, "'Course. Otherwise I was gonna have to ask Thorn."
[23:02] Katrin Weiss says, "...Rather not trouble him. Imagine he's busy."
[23:02] Henry de Vir says, "Fifty-thousand it is, then."
[23:02] Katrin Weiss says, "Well, now I feel like I shoulda' asked for more."
[23:02] Katrin laughs dryly.
(Katrin Weiss)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[23:03] Henry de Vir says, "To be completely honest, I've probably spent more on arcana cards."
[23:03] Katrin Weiss says, "You're an absolute ****in' lunatic, Henry."
[23:05] Henry de Vir asks, "Have you caught glimpses of Warden Gardios' armament?"
[23:05] Katrin Weiss says, "Hm? Ain't know the guy, personally."
[23:05] Henry de Vir says, "Mithos, the key of the lifestream."
[23:05] Katrin Weiss asks, "What 'bout it?"
[23:05] Katrin Weiss says, "I mean. I guess I've seen him 'round Starfall before."
[23:06] Henry de Vir says, "Ah.."
[23:09] Katrin Weiss says, "Is that all for now though? I can start draftin' plans."
[23:16] Henry de Vir says, "Yeah, that'll be all."

[23:18] Katrin Weiss says, "Alright. I'll start draftin' shit and maybe doin' some basic work."
[23:18] Henry de Vir says, "Sounds good."
[23:18] Henry de Vir says, "If any blocks or obstacles come up don't hesitate to let me know."
[23:18] Katrin Weiss says, "You got it."
[23:19] Katrin Weiss asks, "Take 'er easy, yeah?"
