ITP: Swap Meet

[slashing_canon]

[Outside the Arts and Crafts hut, two young men sit on the ground ...crafting. Well, one of them is crafting, the other is just giving helpful suggestions.]

This is great but...I think we'll probably run out of materials before we make any money, this way...

((Found some fascinating shiny things on the panty raid that you need to offload before

--You guys know how to do synthesis??

[expert_slash]

...Is that what crafting is called here?

[anenduringoath]

S'what they call it at home, anyway! Though usually it's done by moogles, not people.

[expert_slash]

...By the moogles? I've run into those here once or twice, but I had no idea they had that kind of skill also. What sorts of things do they make?

[notpuddinupwith]

Oh... What's this?

[slashing_canon]

[Holds up a charm]

Battle accessories! He's pretty good at them.

[notpuddinupwith]

They're for use in battle?

[slashing_canon]

Well, you don't use them to fight or anything, but they get your spirits up, so you're more effective!

Or something like that, anyway.

[unlistednumber]

What are you doing?

[expert_slash]

Practicing a little crafting. [shows handiwork]

[unlistednumber]

What does it do?

[expert_slash]

It increases a fighter's chance of striking a critical hit. [...you don't look too much like a fighter, but I'm learning from experience here] Are you a fighter yourself?

[ecce0homo]

Craftsmen? I haven't seen that much since I came here.

[expert_slash]

It's not that strange, is it? Compared to some of the things around here.

[ecce0homo]

Not at all. Rather, the absence of them is one of the odd things about this place, I would say.

[expert_slash]

Are they more common in your home, then?

[buggereye]

... what are you making?

[slashing_canon]

[ . . .just stares at you for a minute]

Um..."smiley charms", they're called. They're supposed to bring you happiness and...help you out in, um, in battle.

Um...you look--?

[buggereye]

[... slow blink]

Is there something on my face?

[slashing_canon]

...N-no, sorry. I just thought-- um, nevermind. It's strange.

...did you want one? I hear you don't need money around here, but if you've got anything useful to trade, we'd take that, probably.
