  1. For a good few minutes the scientist was silent, before getting up! His smile grew wide at that terrible visage of his, as a snap of fingers followed.
  2.  
  3. The sound.. Echoing before..
  4.  
  5. Little animunculi flocked around the Faeborn, these.. Captured him, "This is beyond perfect, artisans will always be welcome at the institute, that being the case.." He then started to walk..
  6.  
  7. Heading towards the main structure of the village.
  8.  
  9. "Time to start working on your first project with me." Yes, Acantho wasted no time in this matter.
  10. (Acantho)
  11. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  12.  
  13. [17:45] Olórin Eilpeiros has a feeling this has been done before, in a past life. The being carried thing and all.
  14. (Olórin Eilpeiros)
  15. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  16.  
  17. [17:46] Acantho says, "Come, Piers."
  18. [17:46] Acantho says, "We.. WORK."
  19. [17:50] Looks like piers got into the middle of something... he just wanted ask some help to cantho but he will end up being at help again for his Project, and hopefuly will be the last stage.
  20.  
  21. "Why he is being... carried?" He says while follows cantho with a voice not that much enegertic like usual.
  22.  
  23. He makes a confused face.
  24.  
  25. "Anyway... let me guess, again on the Pew pew weapon ? or a new Project... i came ask you if Science created something to make sadness go away." He asks.
  26. (Piers Glaidd)
  27. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  28.  
  29. [17:57] "Don't worry about him." Said first as they entered the workshop, where then the fae were placed on the floor and before them, there was a workbench..
  30.  
  31. Upon it there was the 'skeleton' of a gun! Which they would work upon today, in order to finish such. There was only two things left to do, since most of the inner mechanisms were already done, as well as tubes and other things.
  32.  
  33. "And not exactly, so for now just smile more often or drink a jester juice, it should work." He informed while his mech servants brought him a bag..
  34.  
  35. With crystals! Of water.
  36.  
  37. "Alright, we have two things to do here and you, Olórin, will help me with one of them - that is, see this weapon?" He pointed at what was notably a minigun - "Inside this is a small nyeshk chamber, which needs to have the viridium inserted.
  38.  
  39. So that when the mana crosses this one, the toxic properties of the virdium are used by the mana bullets of the magitech weapon - I know you will be able to do that.
  40.  
  41. While this.." He went to his table where he separated some tools.
  42.  
  43. The water crystals were brought forward and then he would speak again.
  44.  
  45. "I will work on the core that will power this weapon." He reported before then..
  46.  
  47. Start that project.
  48. (Acantho)
  49. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  50.  
  51. [18:14] Olórin Eilpeiros asks, "I imagine I'm free to use the tools available?"
  52. [18:23] At first, when he was being carried by the golems, there was a widen of his eyes and some sort of resistance; but soon he let it happen, thinking that he could probably get away out of any situation once he was placed down on the floor again. Yet what happened was that he was imply led to Acantho's workshop, being placed on the bench, just behind a workbench where the skeleton of a gun sat.
  53.  
  54. Wait-
  55.  
  56. A gun?!
  57.  
  58. Of course, of course Olórin had heard of them: it was the main weapon used by the Barsburgian forces when they were still around, but he never got the chance to work with one or... really, up until now, he hadn't even seen one. He was visibly overwhelmed, but, getting up, he really started to think of it as an opportunity: an opportunity to get out of his comfort zone and expand his horizons! Which he would promptly do, listening carefully to Acantho's words.
  59.  
  60. ...so he just needed to insert viridium into that nyeshk chamber? It sounded simple enough. Searching his bag for his trusty gloves and the equipment for blacksmithing tongs, he'd locate the ingot and quickly take it with the tool, almost as if it was a brand-new (literally) ingot... but viridium was frankly as dangerous as one.
  61.  
  62. So with caution he'd direct it towards the open nyeshk core, obviously not throwing the thing in there the moment it was inserted but carefully waiting until it reached the bottom, and then letting go off the ore. With what seemed like a simple easy step, he was... done... almost surprised by how simple it was.
  63.  
  64. Was that all? Certainly not... so he waited for any further instructions from Acantho, or objections.
  65. (Olórin Eilpeiros)
  66. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  67.  
  68. [18:28] Piers stare the scientist with a sharp look, ignore? this was too weird for piers.
  69.  
  70. "Alright..." He keeps with the mix of confused and sharp stare at cantho.
  71.  
  72. Looks like the pieces made a few days ago formed the skeleton, seeing that Project slowly taking life reminds of 1-A to piers.
  73.  
  74. "Smile more wont help, is just tell a lie, and jester as long make you laught, does not take the feeling alway, just make a false one more evident" He says crossing his arms behind.
  75.  
  76. "I hope is a one-to-go attempt, gather all that is painful, physicaly and mentaly." He lowers his head in lack of motivation.
  77.  
  78. Piers staring olórin doing his job question himself if that was a safe process... he just stands there staring the scene awaiting for requests.
  79. (Piers Glaidd)
  80. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  81.  
  82. [18:34] While Olórin worked on inserting the Viridium, the scientist gathered some metals - a spherical shape was formed through a small procedure where Acantho molded the metal, through the use of tools - before he spoke.
  83.  
  84. "Once you're done, start connecting the viridium to the nyeshk insulation, form something cylindrical with it, so that the mana is forced to pass through it - before going into the tubes as it is fired." His explanation followed, while a more unique tool was set aside.
  85.  
  86. Soon, used in this step.
  87.  
  88. With this, the water crystals began to come together - mana flowed and imbued these pieces of elemental energy, before molding them into a single shape.. Which, began resembling a sphere and this one, was encased with the metallic rods made before, that would hold it steady.
  89.  
  90. "And Piers, what happened for you to be this way today? You are usually cheerful enough, for me to not have to worry." The figure commented, but remarkably stayed focused on his work.
  91.  
  92. Which, it wasn't over yet.
  93. (Acantho)
  94. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  95.  
  96. [18:40] As olórin and cantho Works on the weapons piers tries find the best time he think it is, to talk without taking too much of their attenction, the time they do small pauses to change tools or steps in the process.
  97.  
  98. "I wanted to know, one day i woke up, like last day was the worst of my life, without even knowing why... im questioing myself if is the bad trip caused by the reed." He checks his pipe.
  99.  
  100. "Maybe is time to stop smoking." He nods while thinks other possibilities. "The other theory is i trained so much that i finnaly broke my sanity and now im feeling it." He shrugs.
  101.  
  102. Then he thinks on the persnal.
  103.  
  104. "The last theory is im thinking too much about my condiction, after see some people, i mean i could dissapear and just a few people would notice or care." he says.
  105.  
  106. "But i still like to belive it is a consequence of something i just dont know what." He leans on wall.
  107. (Piers Glaidd)
  108. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  109.  
  110. [18:59] "Alessa tea, Delphinian brew, helps me in sad times," Olórin comments without lookin at Piers, looking at what had been done- but of course, even him was thinking it was strange that it was all. So when Acantho asked him of something else, he was not surprised, though he did feel some sort of disappointment in himself for not understanding what was asked at first. Still though, he understood it now, so the ingot was taken off with the same equipment and, using a variety of others, it was eventually turned into the shape of a cylinder.
  111.  
  112. Then, and only THEN, was it placed inside the chamber again, the man soon connecting it to the insulation as was asked and checking if it was all done and... really... he- had little idea. In his mind, it was, but he couldn't check. It was still his first time working with a gun and just being parachuted into the project didn't help a lot either.
  113.  
  114. Eyesalmost turn to Piers, and he almost answers the man; yet he decides not to, figuring focusing on the project at hand was better.
  115. (Olórin Eilpeiros)
  116. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  117.  
  118. [19:07] "You worry far too much about the smallest details that are unimportant my friend, sometimes it is necessary to know how to give the fuck about such things - because it is accumulating in your mind..
  119.  
  120. And the more you think of it, the more it will wear out your physique and thinking.
  121.  
  122. It is not something to brood over, but to let go - we must always move forward." For a moment the sound of tools stopped, as he turned towards the citizen - "And.. Well, you will be remembered.
  123.  
  124. For soon I will put a memorial in the center of the village, with the name of the founders - among them will be you." After all, he was one of the first to live there.
  125.  
  126. And so.. Yeah, he was part of it now.
  127.  
  128. After this brief moment, the scientist went back to work - the core was almost done and what was missing was a runic system around it. Which, the scientist began making using a powder of mercury for it, the last stock he had.. And once that was done, he stoodup taking the object in his hands.
  129.  
  130. "There, now.. Are you done there, Olórin?" He questioned as he approached the Fae, with the object in hand.
  131.  
  132. Ready for the final steps of that project.
  133. (Acantho)
  134. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  135.  
  136. [19:10] Regardless, it's not like he needed to answer after Acantho did. And he overheard it, of course, and honestly thought it was a bit of a cute answer; but soon he was back to focusing... on thinking if that what he did was right or wrong.
  137.  
  138. Ah- well, soon Acantho came to check on him, and eyes turned immediately to face the scientist. "...I believe so. I've never dealt with a gun before, so this whole experience is new to me." Eyes still looked at the open nyeshk core, viridium cylinder inside: it fit perfectly, so certainly... he'd done it right, right?
  139. (Olórin Eilpeiros)
  140. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  141.  
  142. [19:17] "The fact i worry too much about the smallest details, are what pushed me so far where i am now, but now you said... maybe i should learn let it go..." He coughs a bit, he' someone that is turning smoker so is no surprise.
  143.  
  144. Still leaned on wall, changing his gaze between the two present in the ofice, he speaks and return to look at nowhere.
  145.  
  146. "Thanks, that helps , and is very important for the history of final frontier but but maybe is not the solution i need, i was speaking about people care." He says.
  147.  
  148. When he realized he was sounding too much, weak, he slaps his face with both hands, not with force to hurt but like the palm someone do to wake up.
  149.  
  150. "Well no need to worry for that, we have a WEAPON TO FINISH!" He says poiting at sky, clearly forcing he be how he usualy is, even still not good, a simple lie.
  151.  
  152. He cross his arms again returning to lean, wondering what he would help, he takes a few rocks he carries everywhere from his backpack and lift one with one of his hands.
  153. (Piers Glaidd)
  154. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  155.  
  156. [19:32] Before inserting the core, some of Acantho's automatons would go to the chamber and check Olórin's work. Then, they would make the final adjustments needed and then close the nyeshk chamber - before the scientist approached.
  157.  
  158. As expected.
  159.  
  160. Carefully, he would now insert the core over the frame created previously, connect it and then activate the runic system - which caused the core to emit a bluish glow and that weaponry to emit an audible sound.
  161.  
  162. It.. Started.
  163.  
  164. A smile spread across the scientist's face, who closed the main structure of that device and then picked it up, with some difficulty notably - but using gravity manipulation, it facilitated the handle of it.
  165.  
  166. Good.
  167.  
  168. "You, position yourself over there near the wall." He commanded one of his animunculi, which as expected - obeyed without question.
  169.  
  170. And when the entity was in position, the scientist made his mana flow into the minigun - act that made the barrels start rotating at great speeds, before.. firing countless 'bullets' of mana in the direction of the automaton! Which..
  171.  
  172. Was completely destroyed by the barrage of fire.
  173.  
  174. "AHAHAHaHahahAHh!" He was laughing like a maniac as he conducted the initial test of the weapon - without stop, "It's working, it's working!" He said while still shooting..
  175.  
  176. Turning the automaton to dust and the wall? Filled with holes, that would be fixed later.
  177.  
  178. After a few seconds, finally it came to a stop.. And then he would place that thing on the table, before turning back to them. The smile kept on his face as he looked at them..
  179.  
  180. Almost as if he was waiting for congratulations.
  181. (Acantho)
  182. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  183.  
  184. [19:47] So his work was finalized, mostly -- some adjustments still needed to be made, but he at least got most of it right. Still he'd gain distance when Acantho picked that up, though- and when he commanded one of his automatons to the wall... he knew exactly what was going to happen, but still took a few steps back in absolute awe when that thing started rotating like crazy, reducing the automaton to mere atoms!
  185.  
  186. "Gods, Acantho!" the man shouted, still surprised at everything! The fact it was working, how fast it fired and specially... how absolutely decimated the automaton was, and how now the wall behind it had lots of little holes as if it was a Brazilian highway.
  187.  
  188. Eyes still looked at Acantho with absolute awe, however, even as the rotation stopped and he put that thing back in the table. Eventually his posture would be fixed however, and Olórin would look at Acantho almost as if he was asking for payment... but soon realizing that at least now he wasn't worthy and that the man clearly wanted congratulations.
  189.  
  190. "Well, I'm glad that it works! I'm- still a bit surprised, I think it's visible..." It was not visible.
  191. (Olórin Eilpeiros)
  192. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  193.  
  194. [19:48] Huh oh.... made some weird noise, was going explode?, no, when acantho got on his hands, then piers was less worried would explode on his hands.
  195.  
  196. "LITTLE BUDDY NO" piers yells as he raises his hand close the robot, futile, he was exploded by the rage of the scientist gun.
  197.  
  198. Piers stares acantho shocked with the scene he just saw, he just says.
  199.  
  200. "Geez cantho, calm down, still on test stage, who knows if will not end up exploding?" He raise his hands.
  201.  
  202. "Still powerful, melee Fighters would need take extra care, and range mages will eat bullets like in a pan of beans, a powerful one indeed." He scrach his chin.
  203.  
  204. "i wonder if we could give a small version to 1-A..." He says.
  205. (Piers Glaidd)
  206. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  207.  
  208. [19:54] "Ah, that's the sound of progress friends!" Said after the test, offering a bow to them - "That's remarkably.. Just the prototype, I'll still perfect it - but it's a start.
  209.  
  210. At least it did not explode, yet.." He informed them, while making a joke - as the smile faded from his visage.
  211.  
  212. From his lab coat his canteen of drink was taken and from this, the scientist drank.
  213.  
  214. "And clearly mighty friend, is the idea for it was making.. Something to be feared." He shrugged, before starting to walk towards the exit, "Come on, let's get some rest.. For now, we're done here." And in that, he opened the door and went to the center of the village.
  215. (Acantho)
