[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 We have a few ideas for basic improvements and increased safety, but any work we do will require the removal of outdated equipment.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 mind some heavy lifting, if you're serious about making weapons in exchange for it. I can't say I have a lot of experience with mines or the machines they use, but if all you're looking for is muscle, I'll volunteer. I've only just gotten here, so it's not like I've got much else going on right now.

Right now it's just the muscle, yes. It's a little finagling because of timing and space, but we'll organize all that before we go in. What type of weapon are you looking for? We don't make guns, that is the major thing.

...What's a gun?

[ That's probably not going to be a concern here. ]

I'm hoping for a lance, if you think that's something you're capable of?

It's a projectile weapon that is very dangerous.

I'll admit I've never made one but we're partnered with the local best blacksmith in the city, I can ask her what she thinks.

Ahh, I see. I don't think we have those where I come from. But most projectile weapons are very dangerous in my experience, so...

[ Ashe is a beast, that's all he's saying. ]

I'll still help out even if she can't, no worries. It's just strange, being in a foreign place like this without any of my things. If she knows how to make something similar, I'd be greatly appreciative. I can even supply schematics if that helps?

[personal profile] hextechhead 2022-08-10 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
I understand, that's why I started making things in the first place, I know so many of us come here already feeling a little lost. Schematics would be extremely helpful, yes. Between myself and Lee, you'll get what you need.

I'll see what I can draw up, then.

Just let me know when you need my help. And, uh, where to go. I'll be happy to assist.
hextechhead: (so happy damn)

[personal profile] hextechhead 2022-08-10 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yes I think once we have a headcount and get everything ready, we'll be able to head's up everyone with when to show up. Considering we have a good amount of volunteers, it shouldn't take that long. I know the miners will be very grateful, they're good folks.

Then I'm even more pleased to be of aid. If it makes things safer for them in there, then it should definitely be fixed.

Thank you, Sylvain, that is absolutely what we're doing this for.
