Synthesis & You ♗ si vis pacem, para bellum

Who: Everyone! General mingle
When: 8/16, when everyone's been called back to Gammon
Where: Gammon, Southwest Cloister
What: With determination to succeed this time high, Heroes have organized a demonstration of armor/accessory synthesis and everyone has been encouraged to learn how to and consider arming themselves to the best of their abilities for the upcoming battle.
Rating: Doubtful to be anything past PG-13



The Southwest Cloister, crowning jewel of Gammon's Blackchurch district. The high archways that line the sun-warmed courtyard provide a welcoming shade that feels cool and smells old and of masonry and dew, reminiscent of things simple and old as stone. A feeling of monastic solitude.

A place one will find anything but solitude as today a large part of it, sectioned off from the usual bustle of tourism by helpful residents and caretakers eager to help the visiting Blanc Heroes prepare, is filling with the uniformed visitors. Or at least the Heroes will have been encouraged to wear their uniforms, or at least the badges bearing their ranks in order to facilitate finding appropriate partners, and to have brought everything they might have recovered from their various missions, no matter how slight or unimportant it might have seemed. Perhaps a Bishop could discern its true use after all.

Perhaps you were dragged here by one of the enthusiastic other Heroes spreading word or saw one of the flyers posted in the The Other Side Inn. Maybe you just followed the crowd. Either way, you're here now and being ushered to either observe as Rin and Saber prepare to demonstrate for the newcomers, perhaps joined by others about to attempt the process themselves. Have the badge of a Bishop? Oh! Might you have the skills of a Scholar then? Don't worry, you're going to be asked to help assist in analyzing some of the more questionable magical components...

A sign has been posted on one of the pillars as well. Anyone who has decided they want to craft an item is encouraged to write there about the rank partner they're seeking, and likewise any Hero wishing to volunteer their assistance with their specializations is encouraged to write them with their name there.

Even the newly arrived Pawns will have been encouraged to attend and learn more—or perhaps to barter with a fellow Hero who can't figure out what to do with that enchanted scale. And who knows, perhaps someone—a friend or good Samaritan—out of the goodness of their heart...

fuhrinkaed: (Well if you put it that way.)

Well... there's a friend of mine who I wanted to make a present for, so I got this staff... and I thought that I'd try and figure out how to augment its fire elemental properties, so that, like, it boosts her fire spells a bit.
long_live_the_queen: (guess she doesn't need a nose)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-21 04:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[DID SOMEONE SAY FIRE

I mean.

At least, Kaede seems slightly interested now instead of looking like she was contemplating jumping into a hole in the earth.
]

...let me see it.
fuhrinkaed: (Leave it to me!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[He holds up the gentleman's staff, offering it to Kaede.]

Here y'go. The guy who had it used a lot of fire, so I figured...

Also, I wonder if we could make it... cuter?
long_live_the_queen: (are you for serious)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 05:27 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaede picks it up, eyes narrowing a little; it was one of the same things she saw Lyon using. She hadn't taken it with her, but...

...what was he talking about.

Kaede stopped squinting and just. Looked at Ed.
]

Meaning?
fuhrinkaed: (Derrrrp)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
I dunno... something that'd go better with a uniform or something.

Um... it's for a really close friend of mine, and I want to give her something that she'll really like... and girls like cute stuff. Right?
long_live_the_queen: (basically her face 99.9% of the time)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Why are you asking me?

[Said in her usual unamused deadpan.]
fuhrinkaed: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
I figured you'd know more about girl stuff than me?

For... obvious reasons?
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
[She poked Ed in the forehead with the end of the staff, like three-dimensional punctuation.]

Something useful would be better.
fuhrinkaed: (A beach episode?!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
Geh--! [He rubs his forehead, a little surprised.]

W-well, yeah, something useful is best... but... y'know. I wanted to make it useful and nice! Why not have both, right?
long_live_the_queen: (are you for serious)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[Kaede continued her laserlike stare, but she didn't poke him again.

Finally:
]

One flower.

[Behold, her extreme generosity!]
fuhrinkaed: (I heard magic!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[It's enough--he beams at her.]

A sunflower, right? Because the sun is really, amazingly hot.
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, fine.

[Her personality is anything but sunny, water is still wet, etc.]

Do you need to put anything else on it?
fuhrinkaed: (I wonder about that...)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-22 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...Nah, just fire elemental powers. [He is as unflappable as ever, as we know, thinking back over the demonstration earlier.] But we need a base item, so this is just the... catalyst?

And... we have to hold hands and focus energy into the items. [He holds out a hand.] That's Synthesis! I think.

Probably. M-maybe a ring would be the best catalyst? I-is that too forward?

Oh... sorry, I'm rambling.
long_live_the_queen: (ha ha oh wait you're serious)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-22 10:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, did you buy your friend dinner first?

[kaede don't be a bully

wait that's like asking the planet to stop turning
]

Gloves would probably be a good idea. Unless you want them to end up with hands like mine.

[She flexed her free hand, the palm crisscrossed with old and new burn scars.]
fuhrinkaed: (Huh?)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-23 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I-Uh--! [Why is he blushing now? It is a mystery~]

Gloves are a much better idea! We'll use a glove base and merge the cane into them-- [But now it's time to lean forward and look at her hand.]

Oh... g-geez... those are pretty burned. Is that from a fire spell?
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-23 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Something to save for later, perhaps!]

Sometimes. When my axe lights itself on fire the whole thing heats up.

[And she's too stubborn to drop it.]
fuhrinkaed: (To do what must be done)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-23 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
We need to make two sets of gloves, then.

[Immediately and with determination, because he wouldn't drop the axe himself, so.]

You shouldn't have to burn yourself to fight.
long_live_the_queen: (another blank stare icon)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-23 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'll be fine.

[Kaede closed her hand and, she thought, the argument.]
fuhrinkaed: (I see.)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-23 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
It's not fine. [Nyu didn't like herself much... so...]

...You shouldn't have to hurt. Not to protect people who are important to you.
long_live_the_queen: (quiet)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-23 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[She snorts, a dry and humorless sound.]

That's funny.

[Kaede broke eye contact with Ed, studying the staff instead. She switched the thing to her other hand, even; see, she was fine!

...in various states of being emotionally stunted or essentially dying inside, but she was fine! Everything was fine!
]
fuhrinkaed: (I can has headpats nao?)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-23 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
It wasn't a joke.

W-we should make gloves for you, too. We'd just need some other material we could use.
long_live_the_queen: (don't forget me)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-23 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
That wasn't either.

[A part of her was...touched, really, that she wasn't forgotten. It was a very small part, easily missed in her mind amidst the avalanche of stubbornness and self-depreciation and anger and guilt.]

You're just wasting your energy.
fuhrinkaed: (Leave it to me!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-23 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Helping people is never a waste. Especially if it's my friend I'm helping, like you.

You've got to have something fire-related, right? I'm sure you do. We'll make two sets of gloves.
long_live_the_queen: (quiet)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-24 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
Stop it, Ed.

[Kaede shifts backwards, grasp curling tighter around the staff like it was an obstacle between them.]

I'll help you with this. Just...

["Don't bother about me."]
fuhrinkaed: (Sounds delish!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-24 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
[He offers her his hand, smiling as brightly as ever.]

I appreciate having your help...

But you're hurting. It's not me to just stand by and let you hurt. I want to help you, too.

[He's one of those stupidly determined people, Kaede--either she's accepting or he's going to find a way to sneakily shove a pair of fire-resistance gloves under her door someday. The passive aggressive li'l butt.]
