[Luminada sighs, shaking her head a little as she activates the device.] There, there we are. [She clears her throat for a moment, staring at the screen with those eerie eyes of hers.]

...This...device is helpful, if strange. At any rate, I have a request. Does anyone here know of a place ... conducive to engineering? I am able to make explosives and other devices, given the correct tools.

[Her dragonhawk's beak can be seen on-screen for a moment, before she very gently nudges it away.]

Thank you in advance for your assistance - my name is Luminada, by the way. Sirene, that is not food...

[Click.

Someone's pretty bad at this socializing thing, isn't she?]

I don't know where you can find tools, but there seems like a lot of empty buildings the farther you get from the Hold.

[torchedhunt]

I see.

Thank you for your assistance.

[urnotafraid]

You're welcome. Some people were telling me that I could get stuff from the Hold if I needed anything specific, but there might be other places to find stuff.

[torchedhunt]

The Hold...

[A bastion of desperate people.]

They seem to be in a bit of trouble, don't they?

[urnotafraid]

People in trouble usually try to stockpile whatever they can get their hands on in case they need it later, or they trade it for something else.

[torchedhunt]

[Which brings up another concern for her - who's to say that, if they feel like it would benefit them...? Damn. It always pays to be wary, she supposes. She's been out of practice during her seclusion, but now...]

That's true, that is very true.

[urnotafraid]

Good luck in your hunt.

[torchedhunt]

...Ah.

[Now how'd he know that?]

The same to you.

[urnotafraid]

[ He was talking about looking for tools there. ]

Thanks. I need it.

[formerglory]

Should you require materials, I know where to get them. Perhaps you can also set up shop.

[torchedhunt]

I already possess some of my own, but I would like to ask how to get more in the future - a bag can only hold so many.

[Twenty slots, man. That is not enough.]

Setting up shop had not occurred to me.

[formerglory]

Perhaps there is a tailor around that can make bags for you. I can't imagine the material would be too difficult to come across.

[ You know, after seeing it drop in all of those dungeons and everything. ]

It's possible to do if you're dedicated enough. I know a few blacksmithing and mining techniques, so I'll get the materials you need if there is anything.

[torchedhunt]

Or perhaps I could figure out some way of doing this myself. In a place like this, it seems to be a good idea to be self-reliant.

Indeed - ah, thank you, but I'm not a half-bad miner myself. The blacksmithing, though...I don't know anything about that.

[She thinks for a moment. It's awkward to ask this, really awkward, but...]

Perhaps...we could assist each other.

[formerglory]

Whatever works for you.

[ Though, her brow raises and she'll consider this for a moment or two. ]

State your terms.

[torchedhunt]

There are some...materials that I find I would need the aid of a blacksmith in obtaining, for I am no expert in that art myself. Likewise, I believe that some of the materials I engineer could prove useful for a blacksmith...if what I've heard around town is correct, that is.

An even exchange, correct?

D --> Yes
D --> You you mean a place suitable for e%perimenting, I do know of a reasonable area where one can successfully establish a lab

[torchedhunt]

[THANK THE GODS. This person's text is a little strange, and it's ... awkward ... talking to a device that doesn't speak back, so she switches to text to reply.]

It's good for making machinery and explosives, you mean? Then I would be much obliged.

[musclebeast]

D --> Yes, well if you did some e%ploring you would've most likely found it for yourself and made this network post completely unnecessary
D --> There is an e%tensive amount of abandoned warehouses and other buildings on the outskirts of the city also known as the outlands
D --> It stretches miles, I haven't yet gone further than it, but from what I can see, past that, there is an e%tensive amount of rural area
D --> Those areas are for the most part barren of transports and of those who've been here before we began getting herded for their petty little rebellion

[torchedhunt]

I have been exploring, but perhaps not as well as I should have been. This land is very strange, and it takes some doing to get used to such a sudden difference. Thank you for this information, just the same.

Why do you call it petty?

text

[musclebeast]

D --> Because it is petty

text

[torchedhunt]

And yet it affects us all, for being such a petty thing.
