Halloween II, for Ilsa and Nall.

Oct 24, 2011 11:40

[Tarvek has been busy-busy-busy making costumes. He's got one for Ilsa, a beautiful knight's armor, weapons and accessories for Nall, and he's working on his own costume, chuckling over the details ( Read more... )

[Mischievous enthusiasm bubbles up in his eyes, and he grins in shared glee.]

It's a Grosse Messer. There's one like it in my Fathe...in my... in the old armory of my...my...my palace. What was my palace. It's a European style, but it's enough like the lines of some Asian swords that it seemed like a good choice for this...and it can be used one or two handed, with a nice long hilt to give you some leverage. You're not so big that a bit of leverage won't be welcome.

[The sword looks like this: http://www.rockynational.com/3410_88GMS_Cold_Steel_Grosse_Messer_Sword_with_Leather_Scabbard.html. It is, however, more elegant and refined: the hilt has been bound in leather, then tight-wrapped with a grid of silk cord binding to give traction and stability to the grip, and there's a bold pommel cast as a steel dragon with enamel detailing to match Nall's new armor. That's one nice thing about getting your costume from a Madboy: it tends to be designed and engineered to WORK.]

[Of course, it's a good thing Tarvek's talent hasn't really come back in full, yet, or it might WORK quite a lot more oddly and excitingly...]

Wow... [Nall is dumbfounded. This sword would be worthy of a Dragonmaster... And you clearly put a lot of thought into making it for him in specific.]

Could... could I keep these? They're awesome... I'd find a way to pay you back for them...

Of course you can keep them, idiot! [Goofy smile] I made them for you, after all -- no repayment needed.

Welllllll....[He's born and trained sneaky and used to dealing the deal. He can't help it. He does give with true generosity, but he's not against storing up favors.]

Well, perhaps if I need help someday, you'll remember this, eh? And in the meantime, maybe help me with a *little* favor?

[Nall gives you a blank stare for a moment before grinning, chuckling and giving you a pat on the back.]

Now you're being an idiot. You know I'd help you with whatever you need whenever, Tarvek. Although I sure will remember this for a loooong time. [EQUIPMENT. IS. AWESOME.]

What can I do for ya?
