un: forgery; (posted 5-10).

[misclassed]

This is Muramasa.

Just before we left last month, I was given leave to keep a smithy on the premises of the base in Kyoto. It's functional now, so the lot of you using blades from our employer need to come have a proper edge put on them. Don't dawdle: you're embarrassing me, walking around like that as it is with those things. Same goes for those of you with personal blades that need upkeep.

[ now, time for the announcement of the grand opening of peepaw's sword emporium. Sort of. ]

Now, if you just want a proper blade of your own for our work here, and I've got a finished one on hand, you can have it if you pay me back for those materials. (Don't do anything stupid with it — they're swords, not toys.) Or, if katana ain't your style and you want something special, or you'd like a matching set, I can do that too. I'll have to test ya so I can see what suits you, plus I'll be charging you for materials and time away from my own work, but it's a properly forged sword made by a master, and you can't beat that price these days.

[ nobody would be so shifty as to start selling those swords on an underground, black market, right? definitely not. ]

And before I forget—Kuzunoha, Laios. You two come see me at the smithy when you're free, regarding the work we talked about before.

[ He already talked to you boys about blades, so you're exempt from this decree about payment... but only once.

And lastly, but most importantly: ]

... Tsurumaru-dono, please feel free to come visit as well. I'd like to see how you're holding up, now that there's a proper forge to work in.

A master, is it?

for those not already familiar with muramasa-san's amazing work (it's in museums!), i can vouch for the incredible quality and i'm happy to provide a demonstration of his work in use.

you won't get a sharper blade anywhere else! ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )

[ Totally not biased endorsement, go. ]

@vessel

[eyescar]

can you test me?

@Destiny

[intertwinedfates]

finally, someone capable of making these things into proper weapons!

I don't imagine human workmanship can hold a candle to a divine weapon, but any improvement's worthwhile in this fight

@Bootyyyshaker9000

[soft_shelled]

How would you feel about possible consistent work? It'd be for matching katanas.

[He's thinking ahead, in case Leo loses or breaks his weapons!]

[ The timing is so convenient as to be suspect, but if this advert is for real…]

Muramasa. I’ll remember it.

How accustomed are you to blades of a somewhat magical nature?

[Instead of responding to the text, Raidou will come by the forge one afternoon when he manages to find a spare moment. He carries his sword in a bag, not that there is much public in Kyoto to hid it from. He'll unwrap it as he approaches, looking for the forgemaster.]

Muramasa-san. Are you here?

@gisei

[harboredfeelings]

You. You're Muramasa. The swordsmith Muramasa.

Surely you can't be serious.

[ Even her world has a version of this guy's swords. Theres no way the weird puppet lover is THAT guy. Right? ]

(Tsurumaru-dono, he says.... what a respectful young old man. Tsurumaru is truly not worthy when he's just scrolling the network while eating some dango and sipping on his favorite tea like the spoiled spirit he is.)

Do you have a lot of orders, Muramasa-kun?
Remember to take breaks. ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝🍵
If you're too busy, I won't visit you.

@akatsuki

[lionize]

Any size limitations?

[Someone is maybe thinking of something.]

@AUO

[gilgamess]

What kinds of tuning can you give to blades? I have plenty of inventory in the form of my treasury.

[ He is not one to say no to a blinging weapons upgrade. With all they have going on with everyone disappearing left and right, it wouldn't exactly hurt to be prepared. ]

Moreover, could such a forge be used towards means of creation? Prior to his disappearance, that scientist doctor and I were discussing how to synthesize raw materials with the possibility of creating certain compounds. We did not get very far before the disappearance, but I remain intrigued by the possibilities for upgrading our current technology, both defensive and offensive.

@justish

[lostdestiny]

Have you figured out anything good to do with kaiju parts?

@KENSUKE

[vorous]

Oh!! You still wanna take a look at it?

_{[ he thought for sure the monster aspects of his sword would frighten this guy away.. ]}

[zauneyete]

You know, there are other ways that these could be used to turn a tidy profit.

[byoukyu]

A real smithy?
Like the kind people used to use way back in the day with a real forge and stuff?
