FORGE

[The Showmaster leads you through the dark stage and you find yourself entering something that looks like a very nice and expensive classroom.

Each desk is spacious with drawers that you will conveniently find any important item that had been on your person or that you feel like you would need here. Each chair is cushy and swivels.

Sitting on top of the teacher's desk is a young girl, older teen / younger adult in age at most, hair that looks like mint cotton candy that probably reaches down to her ankles. She has a knee drawn up to her body, resting her chin on top as she scours the room of who arrived . . .

And then she looks at you all with disdain and slight fear in her face. You'll notice that her purple eyes shifts when she makes the scowl, it goes from a solid purple to a purple mixed in with this symbol in green also.]

I thought you guys might have been the exception, but oh no, no, no. Absolutely NOT.

Hard to say. I got a lot of mixed feelin's. We got a lot of new kids, which makes me want to play it safe. No need to give 'em a scare so close to port. But I'm also keen for some information, so...goin' a little harder might be worth it if everyone's agreeable. We can test it in the first round, yeah?

[nods in agreement]

'M keen for information too, as long as everyone's on board for it.

I'd say...let's keep it middlin' to start. We can each try a level 2 or 3, dependin' on what we're comfortable with, and if it ain't worth the trade-off then we go lower. If it seems manageable, we go higher.

[nods again]

That's a good way to do it. Let's us test it out for the new folks, too.

Glad we're in agreement. Let's just pick which ones we're grabbin'. If no one cares, I'll take level 3 destruction. I'm wonderin' if each of the level 3's are different dependin' on what it's for, too. So this can test that out.

[sighs a little]

I ain't much for coddlin' teenagers. So if anythin' I suggest sounds too harsh ya gotta let me know.

I'm gonna take one of 'em in cost, then, 'cuz I'm wonderin' that too.

[shakes his head]

They're teens, but they ain't kids. An' this ain't a coddlin' scenario.

[nods]

That's what I was thinkin'. I can't always tell if I'm bein' too harsh. Though, it anythin', it sounds like I'm proposin' somethin' too easy...

[pats him on the shoulder]

Maybe a lil'.

If it helps - Rose told me after that one bad performance that they'd rather choose what happens then have no choice at all, so I've been tryin' to keep that in mind since.

...Yeah. That's why I--try to let 'em pick how they want things to go. Even if I got an opinion on it, well, they're the ones who gotta make sure they can live with it. I can live with anythin'.

'M with ya there, I can live with anythin'.

Long as we're there for 'em, then we're doin' all we can. Whether they can live with it or figure out that maybe they can't.
takeyoutochurch: (teeth clamped down)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] takeyoutochurch 2025-03-15 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. ...Just worried they'll have a pretty hard time if it hurts. Most people ain't used to that kinda thing.

Mmm . . . with ya there, too. N' they shouldn't be used to it, either.

[laughs dryly]

None of us should get used to it but that's where we're at, ain't it? Half our guys have metal parts now too.

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] throughbamboo 2025-03-15 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
N' more metal parts to come with some of 'em.
takeyoutochurch: (guess I'll follow my feet)

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] takeyoutochurch 2025-03-15 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe that'd make this stuff easier. Should we all be gettin' metal parts?

[this is joke]

We'd never leave the cabin 'cuz we'd spend all our time tryin' to upgrade 'em.

It would be cool though. I've got some ideas, myself. Not for me. But the others.

What do ya think I've been doin' the last few days? I still ain't the best at makin' somethin' from scratch. But it's nice to try, if it's for someone else.
