Flayventure 1: Establishing the Flay Cave 2.0

[theflaya]

[The Myphone turns on to reveal the interior of what appears to be a standard workshop classroom: large, open, and... all the machinery pushed carelessly over to one side, save for a cauldron at a different side of the room.]

[There's some wiggling of the feed, and then it turns around, revealing Flay, the cause of this mess.]

Ah-ha! That's how it works! Greetings, denizens of the Netherworld! This is quite the school you have here. Normally I wouldn't care about attending, but this is truly interesting! I'll humor you all for a little while.

So, first order of business is to re-establish my workshop! Here it is, the Flay Cave 2.0! I am currently accepting members, so don't delay and miss the opportunity to do something amazing!

It's like a furnace, but better!

[notjustinthemirror]

Better in stupid ways I'm guessing.

[theflaya]

You should see the result before jumping to conclusions!

[notjustinthemirror]

From everyone else I've met here I'm going to assume you're making something asinine like a gun that shoots swords.

[theflaya]

Bah! I don't need guns to shoot stuff! Real men just need a sword!

[notjustinthemirror]

As much as I love bludgeoning people to death with crowbars, guns are pretty great. Easy. Portable. Fast.

If you aim right people's heads explode.

[theflaya]

That just means you're not strong enough to do that with a better weapon!

[notjustinthemirror]

In theory I can do that without any weapon. I just haven't tried.

So what are you making then? Swords?

[theflaya]

I can make whatever needs to be made! Even more if I can get some of my old workshop members here!

[notjustinthemirror]

I want a crossbow.

[theflaya]

Crossbows are easy. Soon as I get the athanor up and running I'll be able to make one!

[notjustinthemirror]

What do you need for it?

[theflaya]

That doesn't matter right now. I'll figure it out later!

[notjustinthemirror]

You'll ... figure it out later.

Are you hoping to just throw shit in a furnace and weapons will come out?

[theflaya]

It's a practiced art.

[ie, yes. He knows what he's doing, but yes.]

[notjustinthemirror]

And that works?

[He'll believe it when he sees it.]

[theflaya]

Of course!

[notjustinthemirror]

Generally when you throw random crap into a furnace it just catches on fire and burns up. Not becomes other things.

[theflaya]

Then you're doing it wrong!

[notjustinthemirror]

Well how do you throw things into a furnace?

[theflaya]

Its an athanor, not a furnace. There's a difference. But if I were making your crossbow, it'd be one after the other!

[Flay should never be trusted to explain things.]

[notjustinthemirror]

Semantics.

And it'll just .. form into a crossbow by magic?

[theflaya]

With some additional work and finesse, yes.

[notjustinthemirror]

.. So what do you need to make this furnace thing?

[He's willing to help with the promise of crossbow fun times.]

[theflaya]

I've got all I need, but more steel piping and some demon hair would make it even better!
