driftfleet | Yet even as hope failed Telperion bore at last upon a leafless bough one great flower of silver

Who: Maglor and YOU
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit - Garden
When: NOW/anytime this month tbh

Video

[ Maglor is sitting in one of the rooms just off the garden in Iskaulit - a dark room, where a small little sapling is glowing. Yes. It's not your imagination. The little tree is glowing. (So is Maglor, but the fleet should be used to their glowy elves by now). ]

Milady Makie is asleep, so I thought I should make this announcement on her behalf - as per the wishes of Doctor Beverly Crusher, we thought it would be good to have a memorial in the gardens for those who leave us. The tree is still very young, but you are welcome to come and leave candles or simply to sit and remember. The gardens remain open to all, as well, despite the good Doctor leaving.

Please feel free to come and if you wish to help, anything would be welcome.

[ He reaches to turn off the feed and then pauses ]

Ah, and if anyone wishes any forgework done, the forge should be finished, soon. Please contact me, Sokka, or my brother Maedhros or cousin Fingon, if you wish anything.

Action

[ Maglor can be found anywhere in the garden, tending to basic chores, or in the room with the little sapling, singing softly to it of growing strong and bright. ]

Oh!

[ He looks very interested ]

That is clever! A weapon from your own world?

Yeah. I mean, this one was recreated here, but it was custom designed for me. My mentor had the real thing.

Did your mentor invent these then?

He helped, but mostly he had naturally occurring ones. It was part of his mutation. They come right out of his skin. I get to skip the painful part.

That....sounds incredibly painful, yes! I confess I thought these were merely a weapon they used!

It came with accelerated healing. [That doesn't mean it's not painful, but she says it like it might comfort him. Happy to let him misunderstand if he wants.]

They're just a weapon for me. Fully detachable.

Doesn't make it any less painful.

[ Maglor says dryly. Elves heal relatively fast too, after all. It still hurts. ]

But as weapons go, tis a very clever design indeed. Ideal for close combat, too.

[She nods.] You got me there.

It's been good for me. The metal we found is strong, but it's nothing like my original set. There's nothing quite like adamantium.

Adamantium? I don't think I know that metal. One specific to your world, I take it?

Well, I don't know. I guess it could be. [After all, it's hard to know what's shared and what isn't. ~~But it is super fictional, so yes.~~] Or maybe you just have a different term for it. Then again if you call iron, iron and steel, steel, and copper, copper that would be weird too.

[ He laughs softly ]

A pity! I wonder what it would be like to work with. And so far as I know, we do name them that way, yes.

Hard. Because it's extremely hard. It's not easy to work with, but once you get it in place it's just about indestructible.

[ He hums softly in wonder ]

Impressive! Heavy?
