Fire and Steel

Who: Open, so Ginia and you!
Where: A smithy in Virgo District.
Summary: Come bother a blacksmith at work!
Warnings: None.

This place was so terribly strange to Ginia upon her arrival, and it proved to be even stranger the longer she stayed. Strange creatures coming out at night, that mess with the scorpions, and all the strange objects. The peculiar wristband and headpiece, especially. She had initially dismissed them as something not worth figuring out, but given how much others she saw seemed to use them, she had started having second thoughts about it. For now, though, they could wait. The first order of business was...well, to get down to business.

She'd seen weapons of various kinds used here, and while those she was used to seeing were in somewhat of a minority, that didn't mean that there wasn't a use for a proper smith. Her search for a place to work her craft turned fortuitous, and after a demonstration of her skills, she was hired on. Apparently being one of the visitors made the proprietor rather excited, but she thought little of it.

Today, in that particular area of the Virgo District, among the usual hustle and bustle, there's a periodic noise ringing out - the steady clank clank of a hammer on heated metal, periodically interrupted with the hiss of steam, or the whooshing noise of bellows being used to stoke the forge's flames. The forge and various other tools of the smithy are out in an open area adjacent to the shop building, free for customers and visitors to approach.

The city of Hinoto-Ri, after Meetra had spent a while studying it and its residents, seemed fairly advanced despite a general lack of starships and repulsorcraft. It wasn't Nar Shadaa by any means, but she was overall impressed with the technological prowess of the city.

That's why this smithy was so curious to her. She's never even seen a forge like this, using a wood-burning fire and what looked like handmade tools. The outdoor work area made it all the more fascinating, or at least easier to watch, as did the fact that the woman working now appeared to be making actual weapons, unlike the curiosities or antique replicas she'd expect from such a low-tech operation.

Not wanting to interrupt the woman's work, especially not when it was so interesting, she stood and watched for a while.

The space marine watches her work in silence, arms folded over his chest.

Klara's default method of movement is a careful sneak, and here she's using it to nose quietly about Ginia's forge. At first she circled the smithy from afar, but now curiosity's overtook her.

Sup, Ginia. Have a waifish girl insistently leering at your tools of the trade, and obviously pondering the idea of picking one up.

No, wait. Not just pondering. Wow this spare hammer is heavy.

Link's just wandering through the district, but the sound of someone forging something draws him in. He touches the Master Sword strapped to his back, and heads over to watch. He hasn't really seen anyone make a sword before, but it looks really complicated. He stays quiet, waiting for a free moment where she won't be startled.

Sora had already been here for a couple of days, and yet he still hadn't completely learned his way around - and that went just for a few parts of the city. There were some places he hadn't even been to yet! As curious as he was about seeing the rest of it, he kept finding himself going back to placing he already explored, trying to make a mental map of the area...though it had less to do with that and more with just wanting to make sure that he saw everything.

Though, to anyone else, it's probably pretty obvious why it's been taking him so long. Whenever something catches his eye he has to stop, take a look, maybe even talk to some people before he finally moves on to something else. This looked like it would be one of those times.

When he sees the woman outside working he stops, watching for a few minutes with interest. He had never actually seen someone make swords or anything before, and it looked pretty tough, even though he couldn't really figure out a lot of what was going on.

"That looks like a lot of work!" he comments, never one to stay quiet for long, especially when there was someone to talk to. Even if that someone was...you know, working.
