....

Nice!

[Sharp]: "Thanks,... and you can have the machine if you want. I figured somebody such as yerself'd probably be able [to] find/make better use for/of it than meself. Keep it... [I meant it as a ]."
*Shuts up (: In mercy of the other peoples' ears <- </ooc&gt*

Fantastique!!

[Sharp]: "Glad ya like it. Well, anyways I got this quest thing I'm about to go off on... Say, would you like to come with us then? Er, I mean,-I do recognize that running a smithy probably makes you a very busy guy, but..." *Loses train of thought/drops subject.*

Spit it out, man.

: Right.
[Sharp]: "What I'm saying is, there'd probably be some battles. There're these 'people' called Dark Knights, and what I'm saying is...Would you like to come and help us to lay waste to those tincans? Y'know, teach 'em a thing or two, like prove to them that they are overhyped, eh?"

lolz, if anything they're under-hyped

: I don't care who they are-man, so long as they be evil and tough, and we get to "bash the daylights out of them" so to speak.
[Sharp]: *Wipes a bit of dirt off the cover to his MiniCodex.*
"..."

what's a MiniCodex?

: It's just another (less wordy) way I was trying to say "small clasped Spell-on-a-silver chain." <- 5 Golden-rings[...]

[Sharp]: "Oh yeah and, here's the directions for using that," *indicates the contraption* "You can have it run either by connecting it to a 'steam-driven' engine or by winding the motor..." *Shows handcrank, while handing over the instructions sheet.* "other than that, it'll pretty much... well, I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find something to do with it (the piece of machinery sitting on the counter)..."
: It's like the steampunk equivalent to a sewing machine, but with a dark ages feudal 'flavor' aspect to it.

Who exactly are these Dark Knights??

[Sharp]: *Shrugs* "I dunno exactly,-but from everyone I've heard says about them they sound pretty bad...Gandark knows more on it (since he's lived here before)."

[Sharp]: "Funny thing to it,-about that..." *Indicates the 'mail loom' for the superfine wire-mesh.* 'took me hours to figure out, but it seems to be able to 'sew' a full cape or something of like size in little over 20 or 30 minutes...then again, metalwork isn't exactly my specialty, so once you learn 'that'," *indicates the machine* "You'll probably be able to do it in even less. & don't worry, I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out." *Goes over to it to look at something he perhaps may not have noticed the first time.* "Hey, I don't remember adding one of those " *Shrugs, then checks out the original blueprint* "Oh yeah, huh." *adds another piece that he had forgotten to add* "That's the 'start-crank', but it also functions as a key/safety. Makes it a lot harder for anybody to steal it/want to, eh?"

*gets confused and faints*

[Sharp]: ... " It has an 'arrow marked' guage to show you where the on and off spots are (As well as which way to turn the thing). I mean, it may look kinda confusing, but I designed the thing to be roughly 'user friendly', y'know? It's pretty much more or less self-directing as long as you set up the loom to do the project you have in mind for it,-provided that you keep the motor wound/engine stoked. That,-and occasionally feed in more wire."
(, oops)
"Guess it's back to the drawing board for me, then..."
:

[Sharp]: ", Mr. LeRue?..." *Waves hand a little above over-in-front-of LeRue's face.*
(Thinks) : Nope, I'm not going to go and try that one again...not after-what almost happened last time [I poured a pitcher of water onto his head]. Un-uh.

No not WATER!!!

[Sharp]: *Is glad he isn't holding a pitcher (or glass or anything).*
"Oh,-you are alright! This-is good."

*Rolls around on the ground for a while*
