[Crafting/Closed] Exploring the Station

[Keyala]

The red haired fox tail walked out of her inn room. She had worked very hard over the recent days to get her scribe skill up, but it was still not enough. Her next step was more maps and her grimiores, which she would need to create many of before she had one that she could be proud of, and perhaps even sell. Maybe she should ask her friends if they needed anything, or perhaps trade the completed products for things she needed, such as armor, or a new staff. Regardless, she grabbed her magic bag and went into town. She would need a new pen, some paper, and some leather if she were to properly create these grimiores. Scanning through the shops, the girl patted down her brown robes, frowning. She was very tried of the same old dull garb, she wanted something more suited to her status as a Fox-tail summoner, and something that made her look as clever and cunning as she viewed herself. Nothing in the shops caught her eyes, however, she remembered a name on her friends list. Opening her status menu, she patched a telepathic call to Raina. "Hey Raina, it's Key! How's it going? I'm doing some shopping"  she says as she picks up the feather of an eagle, knowing that perhaps at her current scribe level, she was ready to make a high quality pen, that would last her longer, and make very good maps and documents. First thing however, she would once again need to create her ink. Knowing that in the crafting area at the station, she would be able to make the ink with the proper ingredients, she made she that at the next, surprisingly upscale stall that she arrived at, that she bought in bulk the materials she would need to make ink, ensuring that she would have all of the ink that she would ever need "Yeah, sorry, was thinking. So I was doing some crafting, I'm gathering materials now. I figured that you still needed to get your crafting skill up, and I need stuff tailored, even if it's just low leveled for now. I'd be willing to help you shop and craft with you if you wanna make me something, and I could even buy the materials or I could make something for you! I can make maps, grimiores, compasses, you name it! I'll even write up a contract for that. So meet me down by the market if you want to come, I'm just getting the last of my supplies. Then I'll be making my pen, paper, ink, and then my finished products from there!" she says into her telepathic call, leaving it open for any comments by Raina. She would head to the next market stall, buying the various pulps she would need to create paper, knowing the process to be long and annoying in her mind. Next, she knew that she would need materials to create the pen with. Buying the items to hollow and shape the tip of the pen, as well as a bottle to put the ink in, she then went to a new stall, one that she would need in order to bind the grimiores. She wanted her grimiores to look high quality, so that she had something to be proud of. Knowing this, she purchased the tools to craft bindings and covers out of leather, along with the leather itself, enough to make at least a dozen high quality grimiores. With this all in her bag, she went back into the bustling streets of the market. With her map, she finally knew her way around the city, and was no longer intimidated by the large crowds of people, and blended into the crowd seamlessly. She would reemerge at a store that was selling tailoring supplies, such as cloth and leather, along with the various tools of the trade. She knew that eventually Raina would either call her or show up there, so she took a seat on the floor, taking out a small pairing knife and the feather, as she began to clean the feather to prepare it for the next step in it becoming a pen.

 Raina sighed. She was still a newbie, a character with barely any experience. She did manage to make some friends and even kill some slimes but that was the extent of her experience. She sighed again with a terrible longing look sprawled across her face. She was anxious to do something. "Maybe I should level my crafting." She said to herself. Just as she stood up she recieved a telepathic call from her friend Keyala, the Fox Tail Summoner. "Hey Raina, it's Key! How's it going? I'm doing some shopping."  Her friend said to her. 

 "Oh Hey Key! I was actually just about to do that myself." She said as she giggled a little. Key continued to talk about getting her crafting level up and maybe have a quid pro quo sort of agreement. "That sounds like fun! I can't do much at the moment but I did learn a recipe for some vanity equipment, it doesn't have any stat boosts or effects but it sure looks pretty! Would you like anything like that? I was thinking of making something for myself, too." She said with a sigh. She did not really feel like she was being much help. All she could do was make weak low level cloth and leather armor but even then it was a sure thing. "I'll meet you at the shopping center, okay? If you still want me to come, that is." Raina continued. Her confidence was nonexistent, and had grown even worse since she came to this world. 


 Raina walked through the market place looking for the basic necessities all tailors needed. Cotton, silk, fabric, and thread. "I hope I can make something cute for her. Maybe some kind of short kimono or a dress like the Shinto priests wear, maybe shorter for mobility though. I don't know, whatever she wants I guess." Raina said as she finally found a stand that had the fabrics and thread she needed. "Excuse me, I would like some regular Fabric, Silk, Cotton, and thread please. Thank you!" She said as she smiled at the shop keep. She took her purchase and went looking for Keyala. She finally found her farther down and ran to her and hugged her almost tackling her to the ground. "Key Key!" She called out.

[Keyala]

She stands, smirking, giving her a small nod. Something seems different about her, as she approaches Raina, giving her a friendly hug, her two fox tails wrapping around Raina as well...wait, two fox tails? It appears that Keyala had managed to acquire a second tail, which means she had been doing quite a bit of leveling since they last met. Keyala pulls back slightly, smirking. "So, we're going to get your crafting level up, huh? Once you make a few things, your skills will get better, and instead of making vanity clothing, you can make great cloth armor that I could even give some abilities too with some sigilmaking and scribe skills. After all, I'm nearly a level 14 Scribe. Two more levels and I'll be able to make some amazing stuff! So I just need to recraft a better pen, then craft some paper and ink, and then...I have four things I need to make. I need a grimiore, a Heart Compass, a Crystal Dreams, and a Call The Stars. If you want, I could make you a map, or a grimiore, or both! I'd love to get a cute outfit...these brown robes are ugly as hell.." she says, chuckling to herself, sliding some of her materials back into her bag, giving her a small wave "So all you need to do is grab the materials. And don't just think about the materials you need for this one thing! Think about the materials that you need for the things you want to craft after, because odds are, your level will have raised enough to make them by the time you've grinded out a few items and a few pieces of vanity clothing! I bet you want a better whip too! Once you get it to level ten, I can do some stuff with runes and give it a little bit of an enchantment, maybe use the sigil of Aquarius to properly enchant it. Meet me down at the entrance to the station once you're done shopping! I just have to grab some other stuff right now for the last three things!" she runs off a few market stalls down, grabbing some mana fragments for the invisible ink that she will need to making, giving a small sigh "This is going to be a lot of effort...maybe I'll even get to level twenty by the time I'm done...then I probably need to train up my Summoner skill again, my sigilmaker skill can easily wait."  she thinks to herself as she coughs up more gold, sliding the items into her bag as she bounds off towards the entrance to the St. Pancras Station that serves as the crafting district for the citizens of Londinium

 Raina smiled at her friend noticed her second tail. "No way! You already got a second one! Geez, make a girl feel inadequate will ya?" She said as she pulled on one of the tails gently. Keyala reminded Raina of her sister Aria, maybe that is why they are so close so quickly. She smiled sweetly at her friend. "I actually already have the materials I need. I found them on the way over here. I have an idea for some clothes for you that you can wear over your armor." She said with a smile. "Do You know what a Shinto Priest is? I am sure you have seen the robes they wear in anime all the time. Well I was thinking what if I made you some of those except shorter skirt for more mobility?" She continued. She had hoped Key would be open to her ideas. A summoner should always be represented by it's look and style.

 Raina looked around for a sewing station and was anxious to get started. "Um, where should we go?" She asked in a confused state. Her hair slung around with her brilliantly as she looked for the appropriate crafting station. "I hope I am good at this."  She said to herself as she sighed out of worry. Raina's eyes gleamed with the sparkling crimson of her iris as she scanned the area. Many people players and NPCs alike were stunned by her beauty and were wondering who she was and what she was doing.

She chuckles, pacing back over towards her friend, grabbing her arm "Come on! This way! I just need a table and a heat source to craft!" she says, pulling the ritual girl over towards a crafting station, equipped with a heating element. She sets her friend down at the station where she could tailor, sitting herself down at the table, setting down all of her materials. She would place all of the elements for her ink into a vial, placing it above the heating element as she allows it all to merge together, creating her ink in a short time. While the ink prepares, she begins to organize her other materials. The first thing she needed to begin was her new pen. She would grab the feather from her bag, taking a small knife, she would begin to shave off some of the barbs, making it about halfway up before stopping, smiling as she enjoys the style of what will become her pen. She then takes the knife to the bottom of the quill, smoothing it out to form the tip of a pen, ensuring that it is flat to work best as a pen, with a clear point that is the tip of the pen. Using a small, wire like object, she begins to clear out the inside of the pen, in order to ensure that capillary action will come into effect when she places the pen into the ink. Next, she tempers the quill. This makes it hard enough to actually work as a pen. To do this, she would end up heating the tip of the pen, using some basic magic in order to generate the needed heat. Her next step is making the needed cuts. She then proceeds to running the tip along a sandpaper like substance, grooming out any imperfections in the tip of her pen, she smiles as she looks down at her clean, eagle feather quill pen, gripping it like any other pen from the world before. She smirks, turning to her companion as she raises it up, giving a small nod. Her next step was magician paper "So, do you want anything, I liked your clothes idea, but is there anything you need from me?" she says, before she turns back to her desk, grabbing her paper. She places down a frame of sorts, filling it in with water and paper pulp, along with some mana fragments, allowing it to settle into it's place. As she allows it to settle, she leans back, looking to her friend's crafting.

 Raina blushed as she was dragged to the crafting station. She was not fast enoqugh to keep up with the fox maiden and it caused her to trip constantly. It was a sight to be seen as the bodacious and yet busty beauty stumbled to keep up with the fox girl. Many on lookers were seen watching the spectacle the two were per causing, some laughin and some leering at certain assets, some out of anger and others out of perverted reasons. The girl blushed s she noticed the onlookers and finally set down at the station. " Key key, everyone is staring at me." She said as fidgeted in her seat. "Um, I think I have the materials to make anything we need. I just hope I have the skill to make them effectively. I do not like to fall at anything, my sister used to tell me I worried to much about the outcome and I needed to worry about the journey instead. I always figured that in order to excel then I have to make sure that the outcome was perfect." 

 Raina smiled big and wide as she started to needle some thread and sew some cloth together. She started to sing along with her sewing and seemed content. Her voice was beautiful and sounded just like how she sounds in the real world. Her face lit up with a big smile as she continued to sing. She did not realize her singing voice would be the same but it makes sense because she is stuck here now.

She chuckles, turning to her progressing crafting projects, as her magician's paper begins to settle into place, and her ink begins to coagulate into a substance that is more similar to the ink that she has used. She drops in a few mana fragments, in order to create a different type of ink, invisible ink. "Well I mean, you made this body in character creation, so people are gunna stare I guess. I mean, I look different from my actual self, although I might change that, ya' know, so I stop looking like I'm 14 and start looking like I'm 17...even though I'm 23..." she says, giving a small sigh, mixed with a light hearted chuckle, as she looks to her paper, which she takes out, and allows to dry and take it's form. Thanks to the merger with the mana fragments, the paper will become magician's paper, which has a unique I.D., and can even be edited, and leads to much higher level crafts, which would be Keyala's next task. Keyala would give another sigh, as her next task would be one of her hardest. She would need to make Crystal Dreams, then a Call The Stars, and then perhaps even a Heart Compass. She would then grind out Grimiores, but perhaps there was an easier way to write the things in those grimiores, she had heard rumors of a typewriter that someone was working on, but she wasn't sure who. Perhaps if she could aid in creating one that would write in mana, she could easily write numerous grimiores, and then begin experiments with them, to see if she could craft an elemental one. "Just have fun making it! Make something cute that you think would make me look like a real Summoner! And I mean, as I level, I'll keep getting even more tails! Which'll be awesome. And if I turn back to my more real life appearance, then I'll have black hair and black tails, which'll look cool. Anyhow! Anything you want me to make you? I know you use a whip, which is more of something that you make, but I can make you a map, or a grimiore! They'd be a little high level for you, but they'd be there for when you got to those levels. And they'd be a little more expensive to make, but I'm gunna be making a ton, and probably selling them, and doing some experiments, since I need to figure out if I can make things elemental." she says, grabbing some more materials from her bag. They seem to be somewhat metal, as Keyala lets out another sigh, clearly not wanting to deal with the creation of a Heart Compass, but knowing that she has to in order for her to know how to make it. She would begin to create the aluminum frame for the compass, which is easy considering the flexibility of the aluminium. She would turn back to Raina "Have some fun with that outfit, cause you'll rank up while making it. Then you can make yourself a whip, which I can see if I can use runes with to give it a bit of an enchantment, maybe a little bit of a fire whip, huh? I could give it a try, and sigilmaking could maybe help too. And then we can make better and better armor for ourselves once your skill gets higher!"
