Letter 002 // why you fight [video]

[obliterating]

[Have a video feed. He looks a little unsure for a moment, but nods.]

I'm looking for a metalworker. Someone who would be able to make a setting for a stone. And, well, I need a blue stone, as well. A blue piece of glass would work just as well, I suppose. If anyone knows what shops I might be able to find something like that, I'd be grateful.

[And now, for something else.]

I'm not going to talk about what happened or why or what we could have or should have done. Instead, I want to offer something for moving forward.

I'm a Death Knight...many of you probably don't know what that means. The best answer is that it means I know how to use a sword. I have a place in the Outlands, and for those that would like to join me on the hike there, I can offer weapons training.  You can bring your own weapons, or I can provide practice blades.

I don't expect any payment or anything for it, I just hope that it might help you be ready to defend yourself in case something like that happens again.

((OOC: metal and stone bits are spoken for, but feel free to have your character tell him where he could find it. AND EVERYONE SHOULD COME GET SWORD TRAINING. EVERYONE.))

I've got a few blue gems. [ "a few", ashraf you hoard them like a crazy old woman with cats ] I could be convinced to part with one, if it fits what you're looking for.

[He thinks for a second.]

Well, I suppose that depends on the size of it. What would you want in return?

[highhealplz]

How about a drink?

private, text, anonymous.

[bumbles]

I can work metal and glass with magic. I'm not trained in metalwork, per se, but if no one more qualified comes forward, I'd be glad to help.

My name is Atlas. My apologies for replying anonymously, but it's necessary.

( secret identities, and that whole shebang. )

Thank you for the offer, Atlas.

How will I contact you, if I need to?

well I sure thought I'd replied already :'|

[bumbles]

You're welcome. The offer stands for any time.

I'm working on setting up a separate contact from this network. I can check in with you from time to time until I get something established, but I have a couple of contacts you can get in touch with, and they'll get the message to me.

[heirwithouthope]

How large of a setting do you require for this stone?

[audio] omg i am like :D!

[obliterating]

Roughly a finger's width across, and it would need to be able to be strung on a chain around the neck.

[audio] Mention metalwork and the dwarves come to the yard. XDDD

[heirwithouthope]

I can answer these requests. [A broken arm is nothing compared to the volatile combination of Dwarfish stubbornness and their obsessive propensity to build.]

But you will not spoil my work with a piece of glass. [His tone curdles with disgust at the mere thought of it.] Such perjuries are below my people. A real stone will be easy enough to find.

[Voice / Video]

[hornedomen]

A Death Knight?

[That grabbed his attention the most. There was pause as he mulled a few things over, then he switched to video.]

Would you help me, please? It's about Koltira, he's a Death Knight, too.

[Video]

[obliterating]

Yes? What is it?

[Oh no was something wrong? D: D: D: ]

[hornedomen]

His sword is different; I think it might be something bad. It's covered in darkness and I think it's growing. I don't know what it is. Do you know?

[thewhitepawn]

I'm sure you'll get a lot of people eager to learn swordcraft.

Video

[obliterating]

I hope those that need to learn come to me. The offer is open to you, as well, but I don't know if you're interested.

[thewhitepawn]

I'm no good with swordcraft - I'd only be a burden if we tried, but I'll gladly watch.

As for the former - maybe I can help?

[barefootbender]

I could make you any of that stuff. I guess you already got folks doing the metalwork, but in the future if you ever need somethin' like that done in, say, two seconds, I'm your girl!

As for the stone, you supply the blue glass, I can make that for you in a second, too. Of course, you're on your own with the blue part. I can't exactly help you find that, heh.

[obliterating]

I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.

_{[Girl looks tired as all get out, but her voice is even.]}

Are swords the only weapon you know how to use, by any chance?

Video

[obliterating]

Shields, as well, but I am more skilled with two blades.

[oldsoldiersneverdie]

If you find someone good with metal, let me know. I have a little commission of my own.

Unfortunately with blades, I think I need to re-learn long-arms before I get into anything else.

[obliterating]

I'll let you know.

I'm not skilled with much but swords, I'm afraid.

video

[demonbloodblade]

I'm fairly skilled in the blade myself, but I'd be willing to cross swords with you. You can learn a great deal from someone else's way of fighting when it's different from your own, and as you're different from the other death knight I met back in my world, I expect that's no different.

video

[obliterating]

There are Death Knights in your world?

[breakin_ur_lore]

A blue stone? In a metal setting?

[That's a bit of an odd request...he's a little curious.]

I could look through my shops for something. The ones I go to for all my random junk. [You know, the random junk he brought into his room for decoration. He is possibly a pack rat. :|b ]

[obliterating]

Thank you, Med'an. I'll explain it to you later, when I finish it.
