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...

S-something like that.

[He does a lot of first thoughts. The number of them that he does is why he generally avoids second thoughts--he's super indecisive and has them all upfront. Not that he wants to admit to that.]

[The melting wood and the magical nature of the synthesis has Ed on edge as he watches it all, until the sunflower patterns sink into the gloves' material, etching patterns on the backs of them. He can feel the changes as they happen, super excited by it all--This is So cool.]

I-I think so. We'd have to test them--you know fire magic, right?
long_live_the_queen: (are you for serious)

[The stone at the end of the staff is the last to melt; it flowed like metal around the sunflower's petals on both gloves, highlighting each with a final crystalline finish. Ed didn't seem too worried and was notably Not On Fire, so the gloves didn't seem to be heating up too much. She didn't let go yet, in case the process wasn't finished yet.

...the gloves did look pretty, though.

At Ed's question, Kaede snorted—and a small puff of flame curled away from her face.
]

Gee, I don't know.

[Grumpy dragon is grumpy.]
fuhrinkaed: (Huh?)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-25 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Well...

[He looks at the cool gloves. They totally feel 100% like PURE MAGIC. It's cool and exciting and Ed is super happy about the result--looking over one of the gloves with a sense of wonder.]

I don't have fire magic. Want to try it out?
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-26 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Give me one of those.

[All the remnants of the staff had faded, along with the mana drain. It was probably safe to let go of Ed's hand now.

Kaede's left hand was still extended, almost expectant. She had skipped over the "yes" and "please" already.
]
fuhrinkaed: (Leave it to me!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-26 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He hands the glove to her, without even needing a please or thank you.]

Here you are. Give it your best shot. Oh, but uh. Not a good enough shot to burn the place down.
long_live_the_queen: (brb bad end fastball)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-26 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
That would be inconvenient, since I'm in here too.

[The glove doesn't fit her hand perfectly, which made her spitefully pleased. It wasn't for her, see.

For the next part, Kaede was still--except for her arm, which turned in a half circle at the elbow before her closed fist sprang open. A fireball bloomed from her hand--much larger than what she intended. Kaede leaned back a bit to save her eyebrows, experimentally tossing it in her hand like a kickball. Mana had been surprisingly quick to answer her through the glove.

So that was one aspect of the thing. And she wasn't feeling much of the expected heat through it, only something lukewarm.
]

Hm.
fuhrinkaed: (The eagerest beaver)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-26 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
Woah--that was cool! [For his part, Ed just sort of stares in awe. Their combined powers made a good magic item for sure..!]

S-so... it worked, right? That's got to have worked!
long_live_the_queen: (ha ha oh wait you're serious)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-26 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
You tell me.

[Hope Ed had that glove ready because the next thing she does-]

Catch.

[-is throw the fireball at him. Not hard, and with her psionic magic withdrawn to make the thing lose its cohesion on impact, but it was still a ball of fire.]
fuhrinkaed: (Reeh?)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-26 07:24 am (UTC)(link)
[He hadn't pulled on the glove, but he stumbles backwards as the fireball is tossed at him. Panicking, he acts entirely on instinct and punches the fireball.]

[It bursts the spell apart, destroying it.]

W-weeh--! That was a little close, wasn't it?!
long_live_the_queen: (guess she doesn't need a nose)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-26 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaede crosses her arms, tugging the glove off as she did so. The remnants of the fire ruffled her hair a bit.]

I suppose it worked.
fuhrinkaed: (Sounds delish!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-26 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... I-I guess so.

[He gives her a HUGE smile.]

You were amazing, and that was amazing, and it was totally cool! Thanks a ton for all the help, Kaede!
long_live_the_queen: (are you talking about my hat)

[personal profile] long_live_the_queen 2016-08-26 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kaede huffs as she hands the glove back, face mostly impassive.]

Don't mention it.

[Mostly, except for a little bit of the tension relaxing away from her eyes. She was...helpful, even a little. And in something that had nothing to do with killing.]
fuhrinkaed: (I heard magic!)

[personal profile] fuhrinkaed 2016-08-26 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[He takes the two gloves and folds them up before putting them in the pocket of his uniform.]

Alright, I won't. I really really do appreciate it, though. These are going to be great--I'm sure of it.

[And maybe he can get Susan to help with making the other set of gloves... ones for Kaede. But he'll just keep that on the backburner for now.]
