[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.

[ Because he could also be in a cave somewhere being weird or in a van being weird or planting onions in the woods. ]

you stuck around too huh

anyway me first do my thing first I asked first

[heromedal]

I didn't see any point in leaving.

I'm almost done actually. Twenty-gallon capacity, about the size of my fist externally. How much do you think it's worth?

[deuteranope]

holy fuck

I don't fucking know shit about that stuff but the tattoo I'm getting will probably be €50-60 and it's simple as hell so at least that right

[heromedal]

What?

Also depends on the time it takes. What's that by the hour? Plus the lunchbox I used as a base was €6.

[deuteranope]

€60 IS by the hour

[heromedal]

Then including research and construction, we'd be looking at €366.66.

But I'll cut the research as it was useful to me too, so €156.66.

Sound good?

[deuteranope]

[merciless... well, this is what attitude he wanted.]

that's too many 6s

[suddenlybees]

Can you build me a jet pack if I promise to use it to serve the academy's goals?????

[heromedal]

Okay.

€161.00

[deuteranope]

[WHAT]

how do you figure?

[heromedal]

If you can outline your role and abilities and how that would benefit from a jet pack, yes.

Otherwise, €223111.

[heromedal]

I rounded up. There's less 6s now.

[deuteranope]

rounding up would be €157 you dick that’s NO 6s

[heromedal]

I rounded up every 6, from cents to tens of cents to euros.

[ He's also just deliberately annoying Mav at this point.

...Mav does it to him. ]

[deuteranope]

THAT’S NOT HOW ROUNDING UP WORKS DUMBASS

[suddenlybees]

My role is flying the jet pack, my ability is flying the jet pack, and to do that, I would greatly benefit from having a jet pack.
??????????

[heromedal]

Your objection was to the number of 6s, so I focused on those.

And that reminds me, I need to double the price out of spite as promised.

[ That will probably tip him off to Mav that Rex is fucking with him, which is deliberate. Busting his chops is fine, but not actually upsetting him. ]

[heromedal]

Please don't attempt to use causality dilemmas as arguments.

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.

[deuteranope]

[Oh, Mav was pretty sure already that Rex was fucking with him. He was just also sure that Rex would take the joke to the end of times, so any joke doubles as being deadly serious.]

my objection now is to your face

I hope Indrik shits in every single one of your socks

[deuteranope]

baby you’re a firework go with that one

[heromedal]

[ Not in this case. He'll drop right back down when it comes to actual pay time. He already feels terrible for taking anything and calculated the whole thing to try and meet what he thinks Mav will consider suitably high. Something he won't object to in that weird 'value yourself' way he has but isn't too high. ]

My face has little relation to the cost.

Incidentally, since he started making fireballs his faeces seems to mostly be colourful smoke.

[ That's right motherfucker, Indrik poops rainbows now. ]

[deuteranope]

I still object to it

oh my god I don’t care about his shits I don’t care about him at all he’s awful

[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!
