Seastone, Blacksmiths, & Regarding Ash's Training

[justicereigns]

Hey Ash, if you're reading this (otherwise I'll just bring it up next session) I'm thinking of picking up the pace of your training. You're coming along pretty well, but I should talk it over with your other coach, if just to make sure we don't overdo it. What do you think?

To any and all blacksmiths here; it's a long shot since there's no marines, do any of you know how to work with seastone? Anyone at all. If not, I still need a jitte made, but it will take a lot since it goes through more abuse than a lance and needs a tailored weight.

Well that's weird. I lost my boomerang and sword before I showed up here, but the Malnosso found them anyway. Somehow.

[Sokka is always bad at this part, the whole bartering thing. There's really not much he needs from people.]

There's really nothing to barter for here. But... you know, if you ever are near the smithy and it looks like someone's causing trouble, feel free to step in and help out. We get a lot of dangerous people in here, obviously.

Hn. I was hoping I'd have at least the pieces... Tsk. I scoured the area, I couldn't even find a regular jitte, much less my own.

All right, I can owe you all the bodyguard work you need. Just call me when I'm not giving Ash lessons. Or if you need help with heavy metals I guess.

Who knows, maybe it will show up eventually?

Sounds like a deal. We have a lot of stuff we're working on, but I'll try to get your jitte done as soon as I can.

[justicereigns]

Hn. You think? I thought Tashigi might have it, but she's not here either.

Thanks kid. I don't think I caught your name.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

If I see anything like it, I'll let you know.

I'm Sokka Thunderaxe, nice to meet you.

Re: [Voice]

[justicereigns]

Thanks Sokka.

Thunderaxe? Heh. You must come from a line of smithies.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well there's four of us, at least. [But we don't usually stand in a line.]

What's your name?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Smoker. One name. Easy to remember.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Got it, thanks. I'll let you know when I have something, Smoker.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Appreciate it.

Hey so long have you been in this town?

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Nearly five months now. You?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Two weeks or so.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

It's a pretty dull place, isn't it?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

Better than Loguetown.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

... yeah. I really don't know any Loguetowns. Small place?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

My hometown. I'm not a fan of it. It isn't so much small as it is confining.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Oh. I'd be happy to go back to my hometown, small or not.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

I'm not the biggest fan of the place. And there's nothing there I'd miss. My friends are in the marines for the most part. Except my god-daughter.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Marines? What's that?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

My job. Chase pirates, protect people, all that.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

All pirates?

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

[Grumble, grumble, growl.] How many fucking friends do they have here?

I'll do what I must, kid.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

Well, I guess you've gotta do what you've gotta do. But there's a lot worse people around here than pirates, just so you know.

[Voice]

[justicereigns]

If I see someone worse than Blackbeard, I'll do what I can about it. I still need my jitte either way.

[Voice]

[markofthewise]

[Blackbeard sounds suspiciously like not Luffy and Brook.]

I'll get it done for you either way. But who is Blackbeard?
