[The video is set up to capture a wide view of a workbench - those that have visited the workshop at the LILITH base in Neo Tokyo would recognize it as belonging to one artificer named Taryon Darrington.]

Hello! [A blond man steps into the frame giving the camera a hearty wave.] The name's Taryon Darrington, local inventor, upcoming writer, seasoned monster killer, amazing sense of fashion, I'm sure you all know me. And if you haven't, welcome to Earth!

Now- [He reaches behind the bench to pull out a few amulets and wrist guards with runes inscribed into them.] As you can see here, I am an expert in infusing magic into weapons, accessories, anything that can hold a spell. Since we have a few pieces of kaiju parts and plenty of metal to work with, I am opening my services to anyone willint to pay! Or trade something, I'm not that greedy.

Have something that you need upgraded? Want me to craft a protective amulet? Come see Taryon Darrington at the workshop or in the Redemption dorms.

[A wink and a thumbs up]

Please come see me! [He isn't desperate for spending change, he swears!]

Not if I infuse them the right way. I can do a one-time only spell for battles, but if you need something permanent, I inscribe runes into it! Or I just put so much magic into the object that it just stays here forever. It's a whole science where I'm from.

[He thinks for a moment on what a modern analog would be.]

I guess it's like a computer code. Doty has a central unit that processes the magic commands because he's such a complex invention, and the spells itself have the code that decides what activating it does. And there are lots of rules and puzzles to solve to get it to work right.

Computer code, huh? That's more complicated than I was expecting. [Not once to mince words, she sounds more shocked than anything else. Maybe a little interested, too.]

What happens if it's not exactly right?

[likemybooks]

It usually just doesn't work at all. Or if I'm working with high-level magic, something catches on fire. But that's why my workshop walls are made of stone!

[He laughs heartily.]

But really. You shouldn't worry about me blowing up the base.

[lionize]

I wasn't worried about that before you mentioned it!

[Now? That's a whole added possibility in her head.]

[likemybooks]

But you don't have to worry. This place has fire codes!
