Weapons Testing For Fun And Profit (But Mostly For Fun) | [OPEN]
Who: Darin Altway forgeabettertomorrow & anyone who wants to have fun testing experimental weapons!
When: IC: 8/13 | OOC: 7/27
Where: Outside of the Spoon Smithy after business hours!
What: Ever since Darin's arrived in Cerealia, he's seen all kinds of fantastic things. He's been documenting them in a notebook and in his spare time, he's come up with a few prototype weapons! Come test them out!
Rating/Warning: There's no way any of these weapons will work or will be especially effective. Hilarity will ensue.
[So maybe you're on your way home from work and you see a sign posted directing you to the spoon smithy. Or maybe you just got home and you see a flyer tacked to your door directing you, once more, to the spoon smithy. Or maybe you are home and the aforementioned flyer gets crammed haphazardly into your mail slot. Guess where it's directing you? The spoon smithy! Regardless, they all look like this: ]
Hey you! Yeah, the one reading this! I know what you're thinking: 'How did the flyer know I was reading this?' Because you're still reading out of curiosity, that's how! And you're wondering what the point is! Well, you know what else has points? Weapons! That's right! You know, Cerealia's a dangerous place...and no one knows what's going to happen next. Wouldn't you want to be on the forefront of weapons research so that you can better prepare yourself for the next incident that arises? If so, come on down to the spoon smithy after business hours where you can help test the latest innovations by Master Blacksmith Darin Altway, whose hammer and expertise in the field of weaponry are legendary! He's got some amazing prototypes that need testing and he can't think of anyone better to do it! Seriously! So come on down, test some weapons, have some fun, and have a few snacks!
Disclaimer: There will be no snacks.
[Kind of hard to pass up this opportunity, am I right?]
-TEST I- HOOKSHOT
[Ever since he had the chance to use one in ViViD, Darin's been attempting to make the digital weapon a reality. After a few weeks, it seems he's finally succeeded! The test area is full of all kinds of targets and patches of grating that the user can grapple on to. However, the torque and speed of the hookshot varies since it's been calibrated specifically to Darin's weight, strength, and build. You might find yourself hurdling through the air much faster. Or not at all. That piece of grating might be rocketing towards you. Try and hook onto an item or a training dummy? You might end up pulverizing it completely!]
-TEST II- BEAM SABER
[This stylish looking saber is sleek and sexy. There's a concealed button on the hilt that, once pressed, activates the industrial cutting laser embedded in the guard. Voila! Instant beam saber! There's training dummies and all sorts of debris scattered around this test area for you to cut into. However, the laser might not be the most stable thing. Swinging around something like this might cause some structural damage. And overheating. Also, the length of the blade is determined by how hard the button is pressed. Press it too hard and...well, you can imagine, can't you?]
-TEST III- BAT'LETH
[Darin saw this in a space travel sim in ViViD and he basically fell in love with it. He has no idea how it's supposed to be used in battle, but doesn't it just look super sweet? There are training dummies all over the place here and there's even a second Bat'leth in case you bring a sparring partner! Or want to challenge Darin directly. These are razor sharp though so make sure to put on the special armor that Darin forged to go with the set! Luckily, the armor is strong enough to withstand direct strikes of this fearsome weapon]
-TEST IV- RAILGUN
[HAHAHAHA WHAT? OKAY, so this is an arm mounted railgun that somehow found its way into the testing area. It is by no means stable. Darin got drunk one night and thought this was a really cool idea guys seriously. The design in his sketchbook literally reads: 'Pull trigger, annihilation comes out.' Feel free to try it at your own risk. It's going to explode.]
-WILDCARD- PICK YOUR POISON
[Swordchucks, yo. Got an idea for a terrible weapon? Feel free to make a prompt for it! Or just berate the idiot for sponsoring a weapon testing session and not having the decency to leave cookies.]

You ask me?
It's that mentality that makes you better than any other princess I've ever known. And you're right. Everyone has the capacity for good, they just need a chance to show it.
HEh...I doubt it means anything, but if I lived in your world, I'd serve you without question. I'd probably fight for the chance to!
no subject
[Even royals had the capacity for good, after all.]
I am trying my best. To do what I think is right. I do not know if it is correct or not, but I was told by my teacher that it is all right. That both choices, whether it is to conform or to go against the flow, both are correct in their own way.
And it means very much to me. Thank you. Though rather than serving me, I would like for us to be friends. [She laughs as she says this.] You need not fight anyone. Not many serve me, so I would be happy to have you.
[Because she's just the youngest of three extant royal children. A bit of a forgotten princess with no political sway (as far as she was aware), housed in a remote castle in a corner of Zerestria.]

And I think that...in the end, however you decide to live your life is right. As long as you do good by people and don't forget to make yourself happy...I think whatever you do is right.

You do sound very much like my teacher, Bishop Monston. I respect him very much and I do miss him. I think he would have liked speaking with you very much.
no subject
Really? Me? A teacher? Hah...! Man, that sounds so weird...! Usually I'm the one learning things!

[Also people keep telling her that she flatters them too much. She's not sure why this is.]
