[OPEN/mingle] Just like fire, burning out the way
Who: The Forge-bros and YOU
When: Early July
Where: The Forge
What: They have an unsafe workplace and some unexpected fines to pay off. Garage sale time?
Warnings: None atm.
The Forge is located just outside the Bright Wall, a short distance down a well-maintained path on a patch of uninfected land, green and pleasant in the middle of summer. Except the yard in front of the forge is strewn with some large parts like a junkyard, and the forge is missing most of a wall that it almost definitely had not too long ago. The scorch marks on the ground and what remains of the wall are pretty telling of what actually happened. (Hiccup's newly-erratic magic and one of Percy's stashes of gunpowder happened.)
There was no denying it when someone from the city came out to make sure they weren't inappropriately using destructive magic where it could affect the slums and the Bright Wall, and they were summarily fined. Fair, honestly, even if outside the Wall should mean outside the law.
So a flier goes up on the notice board in Aefenglom telling everyone that they're having a sale of small items out at the forge, that they take commission work, and they're open for visitors. Need a new knife, axe, sword, or clockwork gadgets? Armor? Ammo? Inventions? Repairs? Come on down and see them sometime.
They're also accepting broken parts and scrap metal for trade. To make more things.
[ooc: Feel free to treat this like a mingle! Open not just to the forge-bros but to anyone who wants to come out and visit for whatever reason, even just to see what the hell exploded. It's usually staffed by Hiccup Haddock and Percy de Rolo, along with Lan Xichen.]

no subject
Just, just a little fine, for 'unsafe magical environment'. [Just a little fine. It's fine. Totally fine.] Hahaaa, well, I guess maybe he's not, but I am? Sometimes people just can't pay for things because they're new! And I never had to back home, we'd just... make people what they needed. Small village, you know?
[He laughs, rubbing the back of his neck, watching Trinket check things out.] Toothless is- he's around here somewhere. Hey bud! Come meet a new friend! [Suddenly, large wings shadow the grass, and that sure is a Night Fury hopping down off the roof, prancing in a circle and peering at the guests. He's a lot bigger than Sharpshot.]
no subject
(24 FOR INSIGHT CHECK)and what he doesn't say is as important as what he does, along with the body language display. She'd like to give some form of reassurance..but really, what does she know about it in comparison? She just got here, for the second time. ]I was told bonding could help with handling having magic. You're saying that, [a nod to the forge] was due to not having that bond any more? Are you sure you're okay? [Magical injuries aren't always as obvious as the physical after all.
...Vex can't say she'd considered the possibility of never going home, however, and that's a cold bucket of water dumped on her thoughts, stalling her a moment. Before she snaps back to attention. Talking about her friend is preferable by far. ]
I do. I've known Percival for several years. [there's a slow, warm smile] I had no idea the Percy you mentioned that time was my Percy. I might have found him sooner that time if I had, but I was very glad to see him once I did. I think he felt the same way. [he hugged her back. a big deal indeed, from where Vex is sitting, but Hiccup doesn't need to know that particular detail]
Do you have a log of what you've given and received in exchange for things you've been making? Or does Percy handle the receipts? [ Ah, money. A subject Vex is very knowledgeable of, at least in terms of barter and selling. Little villages taking care of one another makes sense. But Aefenglom is no ordinary city, and while the Mirrorbound community certainly had no problems looking out for one another here, who was looking out for the Forge and its masters? ] ...How big a "little fine" are we talking here?
[ Then. There's a flinch as shadows swoop over, wings overhead, and for a moment Vex freezes in place. The majority of her experiences with dragons have not been...positive ones, even setting aside J'mon Sa Ord. But at least she's not reaching for her bow! Beside her, the bear sits up, ears swiveling forwards as Toothless hops down. Before he shuffles over to one side, putting Vex between himself and the dragon, peering around her legs with what can only be called a worried expression - as though forgetting he's a full grown bear in armor, and not a bear cub.
...Yet the night fury isn't at all what Vex was expecting, not once she's gotten a good look at him. She's seen Drogon in the woods, and they are nothing at all alike. And this fellow...he's far more elegant than Sharpshot. (Sorry, little guy!) ]
...Why Toothless? [asked, while eyes never leave him. The name isn't obvious, to her mind]
