[heromedal]

With all of the extra time due to the break, I'm looking for new projects. Apparel, mechanical devices, weaponry, etc. I'm also willing to research spells or other topics.

If it's for personal use, I'll work out a price of some sort but equipment for use in serving the academy's goals I don't see any reason to take from people when it benefits us all anyway.

You don't necessarily need to know what you want- if you've just got a problem, creating a solution would be my part of the process.

Contact me here or ask for Rex in the Anvil, I'm there most days, the staff know me. If it's closed, I'm probably in the Hall of Pythia. Or the Legionnaire Quarters. Thinking about it, just contact me here.

I'm not asking you to build what I'm about to send to you, but I'd like it if you can offer commentary for improvement and a feasibility assessment, before I start asking for formal designs. I'm trying to see if this is something I can convince the school to pay for.

Let me know if you charge a consulting fee for this sort of work, or if this is out of your wheelhouse.

[Yang sends (via DM) a document outlining an airship. It's intended to be sized to carry a few dozen people and reasonably well-armed. The proposal outlines that it's for dropping students off on missions, as fire support and being a mobile command center. It's titled "Hyperion" because Yang is a huge nerd.]

[heromedal]

Certainly. One moment please.

[ After a few seconds- ]

Good name.

[ Rex, too, is a huge nerd. ]

I can say immediately that it will work. I'll draft some improvements. No fee, if it's for the school.

Incidentally, following our prior conversation, I've actually made you something already. Custom tea machine. I thought it'd be easier than creating a method to follow. The final version is complete. No charge, as I made it before I started charging at all.

[ohgoodgrief]

Glad to hear it. I was worried it might be a little much.

[Getting it designed and properly built... well, that may take some finagling. But Yang can handle that.]

Really!? That's fantastic!

[heromedal]

I honestly do not think in the face of the apocalypse as an alternative anything can be called too much.

It does the job. About two cup's worth each time, but it's very portable.

I don't know what tea is supposed to taste like though so it might be awful.

[ It's not. It's genuinely perfect. He just has no taste. ]

[ohgoodgrief]

You're probably right.

That sounds perfect! And don't worry, I know what tea is supposed to taste like. If there's any changes necessary, I'm your man!

[heromedal]

Well then if you'd like to run a test as I say I'm available anytime these days.

[ohgoodgrief]

Fantastic! I'll be out of the country for most of the break, but can come by as soon as I'm back.

[heromedal]

Ah. I keep forgetting people aren't around.

[ Why would anyone ever leave, except to run away and scream in a cave for a couple of hours!? ]

It's fine. There's no rush of course.

[ohgoodgrief]

Well, it is time to take a break!

I'll be back though.

[heromedal]

I'd rather keep working, really. I refer to my previous comment regarding the apocalypse.

[ohgoodgrief]

Fair point. If I don't rest every now and then, though, I don't work very well.

[heromedal]

I prefer to keep my momentum up.

[ Until he keels over, of course. ]

[ohgoodgrief]

My momentum comes in fits and starts, I'm afraid.

[heromedal]

Motivation or energy?

[ As in, which one runs out first? ]

[ohgoodgrief]

They're the same for me, really.

[heromedal]

In that case, maybe you should switch to coffee.

[ohgoodgrief]

Sadly, it gives me the shakes.

[heromedal]

Literally, it makes you shake when you drink coffee? Is that true of any highly caffeinated beverage? Or is it specific to coffee?

[ Rex, please don't science everyone over the smallest things. ]

[ohgoodgrief]

I think it's a psychological protest to needing to be up early.
