Hello, forge!

[quark-assassin.livejournal.com]

Er. Okay, so this is probably my fault, but I figure I should ask.

I talked to Blue a while ago about having Dustin claim Daja's forge after she was re-podded. Things got a bit hectic and I never got around to, you know, actually claiming it. I probably should've posted something on the Omnicoms at least with Dustin saying that he's staked it out--at any rate I might do that now.

UNLESS, of course, any of you want to set up something else where parts of the forge are shared, or there's a different owner that Dustin hadn't noticed claimed the place already, or...I dunno. I guess I didn't think so many other characters would show interest in it--or I wasn't aware if others had asked for rights to the forge before/after I derped and forgot to have Dustin start poking around the place.

So. Thoughts? Input? Possible plottage where Dustin has to set up security turrents to scare off people? He might end up doing that if nobody speaks up, mind.

I think OOCly, it would be best if you just had everyone sharing the forge, since now we have a lot more characters who would actually use it more often than Dustin probably would, like Hiccup and Nehaa. This way the players with blacksmith characters can actually have their characters blacksmithing.

This is true, and I never intended to shut out other interested characters completely (because that would be mean and it's unlikely that Dustin could keep them out for very long). I do have an IC post planned where he addresses the fact that people keep showing up and using the place, and where he offers the option of rationing out supplies and working areas to those concerned.

God I really should've done this earlier agohaspoidghaosg;

No one other than you ask to claim the place, but since Daja has been dropped and I imagine everyone else wasn't really aware that I'd said Dustin could have it. Personally I'm kinda happy to see it get used by all sorts of characters - especially since at the time I gave it to you Dustin kinda was the only blacksmithing character on the meatship.

And while I did originally imagine it as a two-room cottage with just one forge, I think if necessary we can get away with saying that it's actually larger, or that there's multiple forges there. If you add others rooms, we could just assume that they're ones that Daja didn't get around to cleaning up. So far everyone's been linking to the description in Daja's journal, but if you guys make these kind of alterations we'd probably need a wiki page for it or something.

(The bit of living metal that Daja had left behind is definitely Dustin's, though XD)

...Actually, scratch that bit about it being two rooms. It's two "sections" - one being the forge itself, the other being a living area, which probably has a couple of small rooms.

Pfffff Dustin blacksmithing oh god the irony Ah, alright then. Having multiple working areas right off seems somewhat unlikely (we can always make an IC decision later to expand if more characters become involved), but other living areas makes sense, especially since Dustin's already said that he isn't actually living there currently. He might move in later, Yoshimi willing.

(And yes, if Dustin's making security drones for any reason, it would definitely be for that metal. x3 )

Well what else do you expect to do with a forge, Dustin?

The living area's probably not huge - it is a cottage, after all. Though, it doesn't have to be used for living in. Daja was using it for storage, for example. And you could probably put things like drawing boards and whatnot in there, or do non-forge related metalworking.

(And so you should! That metal made Daja rich, you know :P)
