[There are two sets of handwriting here–one careful, deliberate, the other slightly hastier. Still the message is fairly coordinated, and it’s not hard to imagine that the two people willing these words into existence are probably doing so from the same place (because they are).]

Hello everyone, I hope you're all having a good day. My name is Jayce Talis and I have a business in Cadens with my partner Viktor. We're inventors and scientists back home, and we've adjusted to life here creating a variety of objects that might be of interest to people. I'm a blacksmith so primarily my work involves blades, tools, both regular ones and multi-tools, shields, canes, and collapsible versions of everything I make as a family expertise.

[Viktor, for his part, is a bit more to-the-point.]

We’re also in the business of custom projects. Given an idea, I’m reasonably certain we would be able to bring almost anything from concept to completion. Within reason, of course–we’re still working under certain technological limitations, but if a particular tool or device is of interest to you, it’s worth describing to us. We’ll see what we can do.

We wanted to let people in Cadens know that you can come to us and request what you're looking for. We give 15% off everything for the Summoned, but if you're new to the area and can't pay, you can consider anything on loan until you can save up. No hurry, we know it's hard to get started. Unfortunately we're not 100% sure if they'll let us ship these things to the other locations right now, but if that changes we'll let you know. Sorry.

Something that’s also of interest to us is the general working conditions of the mines in Cadens. We have a few ideas for basic improvements and increased safety, but any work we do will require the removal of outdated equipment. Unsurprisingly, the government is not necessarily keen on funding such an endeavor.

So what we're hoping for are volunteers in Cadens who are willing to do some heavy lifting with us to get the dangerous old machinery out of there. It is a volunteer situation although we'd be happy to make you something in thanks.

If there is interest, Jayce and I plan to extend an invitation to our domain, to exchange notes. A meeting of the minds, of sorts, for those of us who are more scientifically-inclined.

We'd really love to pick the minds of fellow scientists, inventors, or tech experts from all locations.

Thank you for your time!

I don't have much in way of brute strength, but I'd like to help if I can.

Pushing up but not crossing that threshold is one of my greatest skills.

Next time we're both on the Horizon I'll stop by and show you.

Yes, and I've taken it extremely seriously. You should see my notebook of every Summoned's name in it.

Oh they would love it, for sure. I went into science back home instead of following the trade, so I can actually hear my mother from here go 'see very useful skills!'

I'll show it to you at the mines, I'll have added the new folks in Cadens by then. I've also categorized everyone by hair and eye color and apparent visible age.

Science is also an important pursuit. I am thinking whatever science my own homeland has seen is not being as advanced as what you have practiced. What kind of science are you enjoying studying?
shadowthief: (Demanding answers)

[personal profile] shadowthief 2022-08-30 02:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Whatever you need, I'll be there.

I was mostly focused on engineering, technology development, physics, mathematics, chemistry, and runic studies. Recently I became a medical student here in Cadens too, so I'm learning a new branch of science which is always fun. Viktor and I found a way to put technology and arcane magic together in our world, which made a great deal of progress.

[personal profile] warfed 2022-08-30 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
That is a great many things to be focusing on! You must have been keeping very busy. I am being interested in seeing what comes of these new studies here.
hextechhead: (profile smile)

[personal profile] hextechhead 2022-08-31 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah I think my response to 'what science do you want to study' was 'all of it!' The secret is not to sleep much.
warfed: (055)

[personal profile] warfed 2022-08-31 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, that is explaining much. Does not sleeping not make study more of a challenge?

The key is power naps.

I see! That is a very powerful secret. I will keep it in mind.

I should not be keeping you from your business any longer, but I am looking forward to assisting in the mines. I will be seeing you when the time comes!
