[5/21/2014 12:06:15 AM] Kali: Aziz heads to Storage Room B with the walking distillery behind him.

[5/21/2014 12:06:54 AM | Edited 12:07:03 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari makes an appraisal of the contents upon arrival, taking careful notes in his book as he goes

[5/21/2014 12:09:14 AM] Kali: I'm honestly not sure what's in there. Canto?

[5/21/2014 12:11:35 AM] Iskandar: So far, mostly basic supplies --clothes, mostly, for new arrivals. Stuff like bolts of cloth and thread. Parchment and ink and the like.

[5/21/2014 12:12:02 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Any metals? Ingots?

[5/21/2014 12:12:14 AM | Edited 12:12:16 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Or things made of metal that I could melt down?

[5/21/2014 12:12:43 AM] Iskandar: No, not as such.

[5/21/2014 12:13:36 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Hey Tarak, have you been here long enough to get your bearings on the rooms of this ship?

[5/21/2014 12:13:46 AM] Kali: Tarak: Yeah. ... sometimes.

[5/21/2014 12:13:58 AM] Kali: Tarak: Pretty okay when I'm about... half sober.

[5/21/2014 12:14:18 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: All I have is a basic question. Does Storage Room A have anything made of metal in it?

[5/21/2014 12:17:18 AM] Iskandar: ((There are practice and non-practice weapons in the Training Room. Dulled blades and stuff.))

[5/21/2014 12:17:42 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... not too sure. But there's stuff in the training room.

[5/21/2014 12:18:29 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...right, where we killed the thing. Let's go there. I need some steel.

[5/21/2014 12:18:50 AM | Edited 12:18:57 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari makes his way through the hallways to the training room and gathers a few axes

[5/21/2014 12:19:30 AM] Kali: Tarak: What for?

[5/21/2014 12:19:52 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: To melt down into a disk for a component I plan to build.

[5/21/2014 12:20:14 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari turns to Tarak, deciding to put the Grandma Test to good use

[5/21/2014 12:20:24 AM] Kali: Tarak: All right.

[5/21/2014 12:20:26 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...have you ever been an adventurer, Tarak? Or seen one?

[5/21/2014 12:20:51 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... heh. That's a funny question, kid. Why?

[5/21/2014 12:21:40 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Where I come from, outside of noblemen and the clergy, the people who spend the most money at shops like... like the one I almost had, are adventurers. And do you know what they always buy?

[5/21/2014 12:22:37 AM] Kali: Tarak: Ham sandwiches.

[5/21/2014 12:22:54 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Defensive items. Guards, wards, abjurations, enchantments, you name it, they wanted a charm against it. Evil? Good? Fire? Cold? Zombies? They wanted a piece of defensive gear that told it to go away.

[5/21/2014 12:23:37 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: What I learned, just before I got whisked away to fuckin' nowhere, is that there are ways to make the same defensive gear... but for things, not for people.

[5/21/2014 12:23:41 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... really? I'da put beer over all that.

[5/21/2014 12:24:34 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: So my little pet project, to show Nation that I'm not just another useless leech, is to make a small proof-of-concept for him of one of those.

[5/21/2014 12:25:23 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: And considering our last conversation was about "electrical immunity," I decided I'd make him something that conveys a bit of that.

[5/21/2014 12:25:24 AM] Kali: Tarak: Beer?

[5/21/2014 12:25:33 AM] Kali: Tarak: Oh.

[5/21/2014 12:25:37 AM] Kali: Tarak: Shame.

[5/21/2014 12:25:42 AM] Kali: He takes a swig from his flask.

[5/21/2014 12:26:03 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...I agree. A shame.

[5/21/2014 12:26:27 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari goes back to gathering any weaponry or armor with big, dense chunks of steel in it.

[5/21/2014 12:26:39 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...Nation, can you hear me?

[5/21/2014 12:27:08 AM] Iskandar: Nation:  Yes?

[5/21/2014 12:27:19 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Do you have a forge on the premises?

[5/21/2014 12:27:33 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: I'm going to need it for a few hours, maybe a day or two.

[5/21/2014 12:28:03 AM] Iskandar: Nation:  No. But I've been working on generating a workshop. Should be ready in a few days.

[5/21/2014 12:28:17 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Anything I can do to lend a hand?

[5/21/2014 12:30:57 AM | Edited 12:31:58 AM] Iskandar: Nation:  Can you manipulate swarmfoam with a working phlogistonic pressure of .567 negs without collapsing into a cloud of impossipoints?

[5/21/2014 12:32:27 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: With a proper interface, maybe. By myself, probably not immediately.

[5/21/2014 12:32:53 AM] Iskandar: Nation:  You'll just have to be patient and let me generate the room on my own, then.

[5/21/2014 12:33:58 AM] Kali: Tarak: Wow, I almost understand this conversation. 'cept not.

[5/21/2014 12:33:59 AM | Edited 12:35:06 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: It's not impatience, I... no, you know what, it is impatience. I want to do something. Something more useful than sitting in a corner and being told to wait patiently while the big kids figure out why we're all going to die and you work yourself down to your component pieces all by yourself.

[5/21/2014 12:35:51 AM] Kali: Tarak: Learn the kazoo, kid.

[5/21/2014 12:35:54 AM] Kali: Tarak claps Aziz on the back.

[5/21/2014 12:36:05 AM] Kali: ... it has the force of a small burette.

[5/21/2014 12:36:36 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Is that really so much to ask? Really? You're designed to be crewed by a crew, and they can't all have been supergod braingeniuses. There must be some sort of menial fuckwad task that even a knuckle-dragging ape like myself can do. Is there a latrine I can scrub? Ditches that need digging? Can I go alphabetize the positive energy dispensers?

[5/21/2014 12:37:34 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Calibrate a water nozzle? Make doilies for the engine controls? There must be something that needs doing!

[5/21/2014 12:37:51 AM] Kali: Tarak: How about a ring for our incubus friend?

[5/21/2014 12:38:07 AM] Kali: Tarak: Or a fertility potion.

[5/21/2014 12:38:12 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... or a still.

[5/21/2014 12:39:16 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: I'm not marrying your incubus to anything, let alone a beer distillery.

[5/21/2014 12:40:02 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... he doesn't need to get married, he needs to stop fuckin' eatin' my apprentice.

[5/21/2014 12:40:47 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...and how will a ring help that?

[5/21/2014 12:41:10 AM] Kali: Tarak: Magic ones. Ring of... Sustenance, right?

[5/21/2014 12:41:54 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: I can't do rings yet, that much magic in that small a space is a little beyond my ken. But I could do it in something larger.

[5/21/2014 12:42:08 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Like an amulet, or a pair of bracers.

[5/21/2014 12:44:16 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...hell, I have the parts to do that on my person right now. I don't even need a forge.

[5/21/2014 12:44:19 AM] Kali: Tarak: ... sure, whatever'd work. Otherwise I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to kill 'im.

[5/21/2014 12:44:29 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: It's just jewelry. I have a jeweler's kit in my pack.

[5/21/2014 12:44:38 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari offers a cord of axes to Tarak

[5/21/2014 12:44:47 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...carry these, I'll get designing as we walk.

[5/21/2014 12:44:56 AM] Kali: He takes them, staring at it. "... like... axechucks?"

[5/21/2014 12:45:03 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: Aziz al-Awlari makes his way back to the library, significantly less dejected

[5/21/2014 12:45:17 AM] Aziz al-Awlari: ...sure. Exactly like axechucks.

[5/21/2014 12:46:51 AM] Kali: Tarak: Doesn't seem like a real good idea.

[5/21/2014 12:47:07 AM] Kali: He swings an axe experimentally from the rope.

[5/21/2014 12:48:35 AM] Kali: ((Swap to the other room.))
