[ For once, Cairistiona's not found in her traditional armor when addressing the Transports here. Her blond hair is still in a ponytail, but she's opted for a simple t-shirt and a pair of pants with boots. When she's ready, she smiles brightly at the camera, followed by a wave. ]

Hello everyone! I hope everyone is having a good day here.

I've been gathering some materials - mainly pieces of scrap metal here and there, and well, I'm not sure my apartment can hold it all! Not to mention I don't think they'd appreciate it... But, anyway--!

I'll be beginning to build a blacksmith shop for people to have a means to get weapons repaired and built, as well as offering to repair armor and build new ones for you if you would like. I haven't had a chance to scope out how much ore there is in this world, so I plan on doing that sometime soon - just so I have some materials to smelt.

However, I don't plan on doing this all alone, either! If we have any other blacksmiths like myself, I would love for you to join me! I'll be finding an area for us to work, so just look for me in the hallways. I also will not turn down apprentices who would like to learn or even offer to help out. Just let me know if you're interested and we can work something out!

( OOC: I'll be putting up a log following this as Cair's gonna scrounge around for supplies to fortify the shop! If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM or ping me on plurk at advancing! )

I don't really have any experience with blacksmithing, but should you need help I would be more than happy to assist.

[Anvils and forges make him a bit homesick, and for a moment he's reminded of his stay in Ironforge.]

[honorofkings]

I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't want to impose, after all.

[thewhitepawn]

You aren't imposing! I've been considering looking for something - work preferably to do.

[honorofkings]

Have you? Hm...

[ Cair looks thoughtful for a moment or two before considering his words. ]

Would it be all right with your father?

[have_hat_will_travel]

Hrm.

Do you know how to work wire?

[honorofkings]

Are you looking to attach weapons to one another?

[have_hat_will_travel]

No, just guitar strings. I heard that wire makes really good ones for if you're working with a pick.

[honorofkings]

I'm... not too sure if I can make wire, but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

[heirwithouthope]

Where do you intend to set up this shop?

[video]

[honorofkings]

I've found some of the abandoned warehouses would work wonderfully for a shop, sir.

[video]

[heirwithouthope]

And where would you go if you wanted to find those?

[oncearanger]

I'm...not exactly a blacksmith, but my work is similar. How has your quest for metal been going?

[honorofkings]

I admit to have had some difficulties finding metal that's not rusted, but the amount of scrap metal I've managed to salvage should be fine enough.

If you don't mind my asking, what sort of work do you do?

[oncearanger]

I'm an engineer and mechanic. It's...sort of like smithing, but with more electricity involved. Some of our methods are the same, especially when it comes to sorting this metal.

[inthejunk]

What kind of help were you thinking of? I definitely wouldn't mind a distraction.

[honorofkings]

Do you have experience in working metal, first of all?

[inthejunk]

I knew a guy back home.

[crymoore]

Could you do all of this without a forge or has one been provided to you?

[ Smithing takes a lot of work, she's able to see that much anytime she steps into Ironforge. ]

[honorofkings]

I don't have a forge, unfortunately, so I'd have to build one from the ground up. Or, I could hope there's an equivalent in a warehouse or two...

Are you thinking of helping, Lady Jaina?

[crymoore]

There are a number of gifts the arcane can bring into the world. [ She calmly says. ] A forge is not one of them.

Fire and stone should not be difficult to come by in this land. I would like to visit your workshop just to see the atmosphere, if you would have me that is.

[voice;]

[pixieboots]

You're really a blacksmith?

[voice;] so sorry for delay!

[honorofkings]

I am! Do you require anything to be built?

[judgmental]

Hello. Unfortunately, I can't provide you with any help. [Yuri smiles politely.]

However, might I ask, have you found any precious metals, such as silver or gold, that you'd be willing to part with? Even just the smallest amount. I'd be glad to give you something in exchange.

[He'd like to have something to trade for the perimeter alarm someone had offered to make, just in case that anonymous someone managed to deliver.]

video; private | apologies for delay!

[honorofkings]

Well met, sir. [ Cair smiles just as politely. ]

I haven't been able to find any nodes in which to mine gold or silver, but I'm not about to give up on finding metal in which I'm used to working with. Should I find some, I'll be happy to give it to you.

May I have a name, sir, so I know who to contact?

no problem!

[judgmental]

I see. I would appreciate that. I only need a small amount, in order to create a small memento. [Not that he really wants it for himself, but that's not relevant.]

My name is Yuri Petrov.
