When: Now

[Miah is looking into the camera, back to wearing her full plate armor to address the fleet.]

Good evening. I seek any in this fleet capable of smithing. It has been too long since I have held a sword, and I like not the feel of the so-called 'weapons' the Atroma have provided us. If any are capable of crafting a blade for me, or the tools and materials with which I may forge my own, I would be grateful. I lack the means to pay with coin, but I may offer payment in the form of labor or trade.

Thank you for listening.

Well, I'm not that, but I'm also interested in weapons makers, so let me know if you get anyone good?

[curiositykilledthecats]

I shall. What manner of weapon do you desire?

[ h... ello. pretty cat woman person. for a moment he just looks a little blank before shaking his head. ]

Uh--sorry for staring. [ how can he be so rude! ] What kind of sword? Not everyone can do magic, but there's a guy on my ship that's trying to make a flaming sword...

A bow and arrows.

[Hello Riku, cat woman person is pretty as fuck, and doesn't seem to mind the staring at all.]

I have become accustomed to such.

... A flaming sword sounds foolish beyond reason. [Don't ask me how long I had Ifrit's sword equipped, shut up.] I seek a blade of steel. Though I do not doubt they will be lacking in comparison to Excalibur or Hauteclaire, even a normal blade will suffice for now.

[Okay, she can't help but grin at that, though she gets her face back under control quickly enough.]

Then you require a carpenter rather than a smith.

[takeabow]

A smith for the arrowheads, probably. But yeah, I was thinking weapons makers in general.

[curiositykilledthecats]

I will try to find one for you. Such knowledge would be good for me to have, as well.

[takeabow]

Thanks. Don't spend too much time on it, but it'd be nice.

So you use a sword?

video;

[curiositykilledthecats]

Should my Ranmaia arrive, she would need such as well. I will find one.

A sword and shield, but my shield Prytwen remains with me yet. The Atroma took my blade from me.

video;

[takeabow]

Yeah, same. Only, you know, bow and quiver instead of blade.

You're a warrior?

video;

[curiositykilledthecats]

A free Paladin. My duty and honor is to defend those in need, regardless of whom or where.

video;

[takeabow]

That's pretty notable. Do you prioritize who?

video;

[curiositykilledthecats]

... Those in front of me, I suppose.

video;

[takeabow]

Oh, okay.

[ Just generally dubious ]

video;

[curiositykilledthecats]

But I will forsake none who need me.

... Why do you ask that?

video;

[takeabow]

We don't have people like that where I'm from. Not officially.

video;

[curiositykilledthecats]

Nor did we, until me. To my knowledge, I am the first free Paladin.

However, any Paladin would defend those in need.

video;

[takeabow]

What's a paladin, anyway?

[limitstorm]

Excalibur...? The legendary sword?

[ like in his animes storybooks????? ]

[curiositykilledthecats]

The same. Recreated through Gerolt's skill.

One who bends their knee to a higher cause, offering their sword and shield with no promise nor need for reward. Normally, they are the elite guard of the Sultana, but as a free Paladin, I owe her no allegiance beyond our friendship.

video;

[takeabow]

Why are you free if you're her friend?

[limitstorm]

Who's Gerolt?

[curiositykilledthecats]

... It is a long and sad tale, involving centuries of treachery.

To skip that part... I am no citizen of Ul'dah. And my organization owes allegiance to no country, as we are to go wherever a Primal threat arises to defeat it. We will tarry not with a single city-state's self-serving interests.
