Did you know there's a museum not far from this base? You can see quite a few treasures on display. I went back for the first time in a long time. Imagine my surprise when I realized one of those treasures was missing...

It doesn't matter if it's a grave, a shrine, or the emperor's treasure chest... thieves will really steal from any place, huh? I wonder what else is lost in this world...

Ah, well, where ever I am, I'm sure I'll be surprised.

( Suddenly he's talking about himself? For those who know him, it makes perfect sense. )

Anyway, what treasures are in your world? If you can tell me a good story, I might give you a surprise.

Gentlemen, please. If the entire network knows they could easily make millions off of Gramps' work, the poor man would be inundated with orders, even more than he already is

Now, feel free to continue to chat here. Where no one else can see

[misclassed]

They can't. Any expert worth his salt'd know most if my new work ain't that old by looking at the nakago. 'S why I had to put that special patina on yours.

[ Oh its a good thing this got locked. Muramasa's usually pretty tight lipped about his projects unless asked, but something about talking to Tsurumaru just... the dokis. ]

[cranekin]

Are you selling a sword, Muramasa-kun?
The only sword I'm interested in is my own so I'm afraid I'm not interested in having another.

[misclassed]

I'm not, Aventurine is. There's an auction this month, and he's bringing a genuine Muramasa to the table.

I wouldn't dream of asking you to take one of my swords, anyway. Just want your expert opinion.

[ ... let it be known that muramasa kept these plans secret for four months straight, and then the moment tsurumaru asked, he cracked like thin ice. ]

[cranekin]

( Watching Muramasa crumble like De La Rosa marzipan... )

I see.
I won't claim to be an expert but I'd be happy to share some of my experience with you if you'd like.
At the very least, I'll help you buy two pairs of shoes.

[cranekin]

( Oh, a setting suddenly changed. He isn't sure what's going on but now he's interested. )

Most smiths would be happy to receive the extra business.
Unless,
there's a reason to keep it secret.

[stonehearts]

How do you feel about Silco, my friend?

(not here)

[zauneyete]

[cranekin]

We've been through hell together so what more is there to think?
