Hi.

[ and then a pause, where it seems as if that's all that's going to be sent while he has a moment of uncertainty of whether or not he's doing this right. but thankfully, he carries on. ]

I'm Zagreus, one of the newly arrived, nice to meet you all.
I just have a question, does anyone have access to any fire resistant footwear?
Sandals or er, sneakers? Is that what they're called? Anything is fine.
Or if anyone has any suggestions on how to prevent surfaces from burning when I stand on them, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks very much for your time.

How much fire resistance are we talking about?

[emancipating]

As much as possible?

[likemybooks]

Let me put it this way: how strong is this fire?

[emancipating]

I don't think it's strong enough to burn buildings down, but depending on how long I stand in place, it may leave permanent damage.
I guess to give you an idea, when we were in Okinawa, I left glass footprints in the sand.

[likemybooks]

That's hot.
Really, really hot.
So hot I think I would need dragon scales for that.
Um.
I think I could infuse magic that reduces the damage it does to the ground.
Is it just your feet that does this?

[emancipating]

Dragon scales? Are there dragons here?

Yes, just my feet. It's hereditary and I can't really turn it off, so to speak, hence why I'm here.
If you could, that would be wonderful. But would that be a burden on you? I'd hate to cause you more trouble.

[likemybooks]

I haven't seen one and I don't want to count on that.

It wouldn't be a bother at all. My specialty is in improving things with magic and coming up with new ways to mix magic and metal. Granted I don't make clothes and it takes a few months to make the effect permanent but I'd be glad to help out.
And make sure everyone doesn't have to replace their floors.

So, hypothetically, if I were to encounter a... dragon kaiju, and if I brought you one of its scales, do you think that could work?

That's incredible! [ like that's honestly so cool??? wow. ]
I'll be in your debt. I haven't been here for very long, but if there's something I can do for you in return, please let me know.

[likemybooks]

Hypothetically, yes. You'll have to ask LILITH for the scales.
More than one would be best.

Something in return? [He's tempted to give it away for free, but Taryon remembers to think about what he needs.] Money, if nothing else comes up. I'll let you know.

[emancipating]

Right, of course.

[ or he could. steal them, maybe. something to consider. ]

Then money it is!
