002 ☾ IN WHICH HE NEEDS THINGS TO DO | filtered from drones

[watertribe]

Oh, hey, is this thing on? Alright, so I have a question for everyone. Does anyone know where to get a good sword? I mean, nothing really crazy has happened since I got here but it's definitely better to be prepared.

Anyway, if not... Um, is there a good place to get any metal? I'm still new at it, but at the very least I can figure out a way to

You handle swords? Aren't you like... 13?

[watertribe]

...Yes. And, actually, I'm almost sixteen.

[wimpyvampire]

You don't sound like it.

[watertribe]

What are you talking about? I do too sound like I'm fifteen.

[teh_sword]

...make your own sword?

[watertribe]

Ye-ap. It's not that hard, actually. Then again, I had Master Piandao to teach me.

[teh_sword]

Still. 's really cool. Thought you had to be like a hundred years old to be able to do it right.

[watertribe]

Nah, you just have to find the right teacher. And Master definitely wasn't a hundred years old yet.

[walkwaves]

I've asked the same question. So far the best answer I've gotten is to stick with kitchenware until I get my own sword back.

[watertribe]

...That stuff's made of metal though, right?

[walkwaves]

The cutlery? It is.

[watertribe]

It could be melted down and made into a sword.

I've never tried to get a sword outside of buying one from a store before. Ah! Wait, stealing them from other people or fighting monsters can sometimes lead to them. Though I don't know about here. Also, stealing isn't good, so I can't encourage that kind of behavior.

Um... if you can make one though, could I ask for one as well? I'll gladly help anyway I can!

[watertribe]

Honestly, even if it was a good idea... Stealing would just make me a hypocrite since that's sort of what I told my sister not to do.

Yep, definitely. I've been able to make armor, like I said, without much so as long as I have a fire and something to shape it with it should be fine.

[abravelikehero]

Then it;s even more important not to go down such a path.

Do you think the materials would be hard to get? I don't really know much about this place yet. At least a fire is easy enough though.

[watertribe]

I'm mostly worried about finding the actual metal for it. A hammer and stuff should be easier to find than that, and I doubt this place is made to be able to get swords easily.

[techno_mancer]

You make swords? That's pretty cool!

Someone told me ya can harvest the cars 'round town for metal. Since the town resets broken stuff, it sounds like a good idea. Gotta try it myself sometime.

[watertribe]

For a few months now, and I got to say it's one of the best things I've ever gotten to learn.

Huh. Really? I might try it... But a car's those things parked out front and people travel in, right?

[techno_mancer]

I'm plannin' on buildin' a security system for my house with any parts I find. Just tryin' to figure out what kind I wanna make.

Oh, yeah. They don't got cars where you're from?

[watertribe]

Security system, huh? Sounds great! How do you plan to do that? Things to clash together or something?

Nope. I mean, I sort of grew up in a block of ice. We didn't even have this electricity stuff.
