[D8 EA] The Charm

A small grotto on the border of the Swamp and Badlands with a lone tree sat at the center atop a mound of rocks and harsh looking dirt.

[D8 EA] The Charm

Post by Solork Tan » Thu Jun 03, 2021 4:05 pm

"Alright. If this doesn't work, I am scrapping the natural materials idea and making something easier." Sol mutters to himself. This time, he has broken down Arwen's old saber and done his best to maintain the core section that was once an Inquisitor's blade. He has, however, lengthened it, and created a distinct handhold from one of the Rather teeth he had been given by his new shield brother J-Richo.

"Well. We are coming up on last chances." Sol breathes in, drawing upon the silence and stillness of this place. His (few) successes, his (many) failures and the fact that he now seemed to have a new place in the universe. He needed to accept it, and stride forward now without fear. Maybe it's that he's finally let go. Perhaps the Force is telling him that he's begun to walk the right path, that mixing the part of dark and light, natural and artificial...that was a path he was meant to tread.

The long shaft feels right in his hands, and Sol smiles at the end of the emitter.

"I think the beam splitter might actually work."

All in all...it looks shockingly like a walking stick, looking like a deranged crafting shaman at work. Sol rolls it over his fingers, pleased that the effort finally paid off.

Unfortunately, in the process of trying to keep it as disguised as possible with all the other designs and attachments the emitter that is supposed to run some length of the weapon is misaligned and Solork will notice when he ignites it for the first time it's slowed.

"Well, that's going to be a problem..." Sol drums his fingers over the handle. "But it's the price to pay to use it I'm afraid." He gives the piece a twirl. "And I'll have it in hand a lot more since I can disguise it as a staff or walking stick"

The Gank nods to himself, satisfied

SCaT came out to try to find new supplies for a project that he was working on, and what would be better than force infused stuff that would lose its forciness if he didn't use it soon. Some bark he noticed on the floor while Solark was being initiated. "Hey there, Solark. Mind if I come in?"

"Not at all." Sol almost tucks the hilt away, suddenly feeling foolish. "J-Richo gave me some nice pieces. I like how the Rather tooth worked in"

"That's nice. I was thinking about using something from these parts too, a bit of bark that fell off should make a nice buckler."

Sol nods, placing his hand on the tree trunk. "I wanted to take some of this with me when I go. I knew this would be a temporary stop... But this has really become my safe place"

"What?" Sol sputters. "I'm not angry. I mean, I was never angry, I mean..."

The Gank falls silent, collecting his thoughts. " Short answer: No. No I have not. I don't think it will be done until I speak with her again. It's a conversation I wanted to feel secure in myself before I had it.

"Good, at least you aren't in denial now. Can't address issues if you aren't even aware they exist, no offense."

"I don't even know if anger is the right term. But... I now understand while still thinking she was wrong. It is a strange place to be in, and I want to be sure of myself and of my own conclusions before I present them"

"Take all the time you need, being slow to act on uncertainty like this seems to be a good sign if what I know from the war is still applicable. "
