paradisa | Weapons crafting class + journal post

[ It's a nice day to do some forging, amirite?

Which is why Tony's finally holding his first class. He usually likes to have a drink or two before teaching anything, but what with his loss and all, that's not seeming very likely.

So instead, he's just going to go through some basic metalworking techniques. No missiles for his class, but he knows more than enough about forging to get by for their usual stuff.

After he gets his class started, he's going to pull out his journal and make some comments. ]

All right. Tony Stark reporting in, here, with some... news. And stuff.

The Arena? That's closed. I don't know why, but that means if you want to practice your no-doubt stellar swordsmanship [ sarcasm go ] you're going to have to find somewhere new to do it. I personally recommend not practicing in your cabins, because blood is really hard to clean out of sheets.

Second, since it seems like you're supposed to make your own chariots for this race, you can come by and use the facilities here to work on it. I'm perfectly fine with it. In fact, if you're nice and say "please," I might even throw in some input on your design. Because, let's face it, you're about two-hundred percent likelier to win if your design is Stark-approved.

Aaaaand lastly. A question. Well, more like a request. I'm not good at asking for help, so. Yeah.

There's this lady. Good-looking, red hair. Goes by Pepper Potts, but her real name is Virginia. Hey, look, I know people named after states, too. Anyway, I haven't seen her around. Does anybody know what cabin she's in, and why she's been avoiding me? Thanks. You're all pals... Except Robin Hood. You're more like an annoying coworker.

[ Robin Hood ]

Please don't shoot me.

[ Open in person, at his class, or over the journal. ~~SECTIONS GOING UP THOUGH~~. Okay I think that's ever relevant section. :|a ]

[ AKA metalworking. Hit metal with a hammer, heat it up, cool it down, make swords and shit. WHO DOESN'T LOVE THIS?

Tony'll be giving critique as needed. ]

[ This is where you make stupid shit like arrows.

I think there's another instructor for here. If not, Tony'll just force Clint to help people out. Whatevs, whatevs. ]

[ There's a humanoid metal suit off in the corner. Nobody said Tony didn't bring his suit with him...

What is it? What's it do? Why is it here?

Poke it and prod it at your own risk. ]

[ This is where you go if your character is just hanging out in class or something lame like that.

You're lame. Your character's lame. You should feel lame for posting here.

Not really. Rock on. ]

[ Oh, right. He did post in the journal, didn't he?

Replies go here. ]

[ If anybody wants to take Tony up on his offer and make their chariot, or get its design judged by Tony, this is the place to do it. ]

I'll take it under advisement.

[ Staring at suit. ]

That looks like this red and gold one I saw a few weeks ago.

That's because it is. [ He looks at the suit, tsking lightly. ]

Changed by the castle to fit in with a Greek summer camp.

[ Hi, Uncle Tony. Your niece is here. Watching. And not touching. She's been well-trained not to after a) years of getting chased out of Mikken's forge and b) touching something that had been in the process of cooling once. Nothing like a hot surface to kill any desire to grab. ]

Good. I'm glad we worked that out.

So. I can't help but notice you're not in my class.

[Clint totally knows how to fletch his own arrows, so he's just going to be sitting here and practicing. Feel free to bug him about it.]

[ Wait. ] That was you?

Give me five minutes, I'm trying to find where a damn raven hid one of my socks.

Good. I'd hate to have to send the harpies.

They're always so irate when they're hungry, you know.

[Daryl is only here to learn how to forge arrowheads. He's just going to be standing in the corner, watching, before actually going to do it himself.]
