The Escapist Avatar Adventure: An Open RP (Now Re-Opened!)

[Moros]

While Matt could use the traditional way to make his helmet, he did something else. Clutching two iron ingots in each hand, they were quickly devoured by his nanites. After they were done, Matt layed a single finger on the table in front of him. His nanites used his finger as a starting point to build a helmet.

Spoiler: Finished product

Matt even had enough iron left over to create 3 inch tall miniature horse. "Look at my horse, my horse is amazing," Matt sang as he held it in the air. Ken on the other hand was asleep from boredom.

After watching the displays of Matt and Shadow, David just sighed and pushed his ingots to the side, clearly outmatched by the Metahumans.
Eh, I least I know I'm better then the teacher anyway... He thought as he leaned on the back legs of his chair as Matt began rubbing his horse in people's faces.
...Fucking Bionic Twat....

Rugal meanwhile more or less played supervisor as Doom was clearly not able to.
"Between you and me, I don't think he even knows the last thing about making anything..." He added as Doom began hitting the ingots with his hammer, yelling at them to get a move on and form.
"Personally, the days of me making weapons is long gone, though I will say this: The second you start using modern day technology in your work is the day you become unstoppable." He joked as he examined the helmet.
"...You think about a Visor for this?"

Boring.

Thats what Shadow thought of this class. No killing. no slaughtering. No doing his favorite things.

He sighed as he leaned back in his chair. After being bored for a bit he stood up and walked over to David to ask "what times does this class end?"

David

"I dunno, could be until the end of the year for all I know..." David answered, not really in the mood to talk to the man who massively upstaged him at a subject he thought himself to be good at.

Devon called over to David, clearly having a lot of trouble with the project. "David, want to work with us here? Me and Teri aren't too good with this, and and I thought that with us all together we could make some progress here. How about it? I'd like to learn from a guy that could actually show us step by step here, you know"

--------------​

Melethia nodded. "Well, I could. It's more of finding the right kind of material to make the visor transparent, you know. It'd be a good idea, but the stuff has to be really durable. Not glass, for obvious reasons. But if we could get some way to make crystal really durable, that would be perfect."

On the mention of modern technology, she nodded. "It's more of seeing what I can pick up from thee new stuff. Still, have I shown you all of my blades? I made them all myself, and that's just when I was starting out."

"OR! We could try to make a gun!" Shadow said as he butted in on the conversation. "I mean we dont have all the necessary parts at the moment... but im sure we could find the parts we need.... and we could make a lot of the gun from the iron lying around."

"Or I can just take a whole bunch of the iron with me in case I wanna try to build one from scrap later...." he said in a less enthusiastic voice.

David shrugged as he went over, stating "For the record, I was just good with Metalwork in school, not making armor, just to clear that up."
Still, he sat down next to the pair, noting how calm Teri was now thanks to Devon's magic.
"Right, just need to measure out the pieces and then we can start getting shit done. You have a design in mind or..."

Rugal meanwhile just shook his head at Shadow's idea of making a gun.
"You really think its that simple?...I've actually made guns, there is a lot more to it then just duct taping some iron together!" He said rather defensively, the topic of weapon making being a somewhat sore one for him.
Getting back on topic, he the said to Melethia "I'm thinking, we have an external layer of hard glass on the outside, Then we could have a internal layer of SmartGlass or something for a heads up display."
Armor on the other hand...

Devon nodded. "I can assure you you'll be better at this than any of us are at making whatever we will be making, and I really appreciate the help! I mean, Ton-Ton and Cadolbolg are nice with the helmet they're making, but having the teachers make the item for you is basically cheating... Anyhow, don't mind the smell. It's something that's supposed to help us focus more, and it's really helpful. I know it's a bit complex, but how about this?"

Spoiler: He casted a Silent image to show David what he was talking about.

"I know it's a bit complicated, but with all of us here, I think we can get it done. Final veto's on you, since you're the man with the experience here." When it came to the others at the table, Ella almost seemed a bit bored by the class, while Teri was still a bit antsy around the equipment. The Cutie Bruisers, on the other hand, seemed extremely enthusiastic to help out here. There was still plenty of time, so maybe they could show the others what a bit of cooperation can accomplish.

--------------------------​

Melethia looked over at Shadow, not really disagreeing with him but wanting to give advice. "Well, a gun really does have a lot of things that need a bit more time put in. Like the spiral grooves down the barrel, for example. Get it wrong, and the bullet's a lot more unstable. It's also got to be reinforced somehow so it doesn't have problems from the stress of the bullets heating then cooling it throughout its lifetime..."

After that well-thought statement, she began sketching out the plan Rugal brought up while she continued to converse with him, showing the thought process she went through to him in the process. "That's nice and all, but the problem with glass is that it's really brittle. Even with a shock absorbing layer in between, a good blow would just send cracks through the viewing area and ruin the vision. Maybe if there was a way to reliably make a liquid crystal sheet so you could refine it to the shape of the screen on both sides, then sandwich the internal Heads-up display thingie with some shock absorbing material? It could be a liquid, but you'd have to find one that wouldn't distort your vision."

David looked on at the rather advanced looking helmet and sighed.
"...Ah....Right....ummmm...oh....Like I said, I'm good at metalwork in the Grease Monkey Sense. Not in the...Super-Uber-Advanced-Technology Sense...." He said as he looked at the helmet design.
"Still...if it's just hollow and hasn't got that "Opening Face" thingy....this could work...Gonna need some machining though..." He said as he mounted all their ingots together and began sizing them up.
"Ah yea~...I made some parts for my friends car once, I can do this."

Rugal meanwhile was pondering the logistics of what Melethia was proposing.
While he was never a lead designer or something back in his arms dealing days, he knew a bit about this sort of thing.
"I do believe back in AIM Labs, there was something that fitted that description. A special form of custom Putty we used for the undersea windows. Completely transparent. And if I remember correctly, the water pressure was massive so it'd have the strenght alright. Shame we couldn't get more Tech out of the ruins, we actually had some pretty good ideas outside of killing people in overtly fancier ways..."

Devon laughed with a carefree tone. "Man, I don't even know if we could make that technology-wise if we had ages with what we have here. I was just going for the look of it, you know? You saw exactly what I was going for, though, so let's start on this." The slight humming in the air stopped for a moment, but David could hear Devon cast two spells in succession to maintain the current smell in the air.

"Need me to get any materials or equipment?"

-------------------​

Melethia nodded, taking a look around at the quickly whipped up and rather mediocre helmets the clas had made as a whole. It seems making them faster didn't give much a chance to get it done right. "If I could see some of that, it'd make it a lot easier for that idea. All I'd need is the way to make the durable shielding and we'd be set for that. We'd also need to make sure it couldn't fog up too easily. I mean, the crystal would stop the scratches, and if it was treated right, rain or any other liquid wouldn't bee too bad either. Still, Wheathair, I think we could get down there if it's only a matter of breathing underwater. Just need to make a ring that allows underwater breathing. Saw it plenty while working with the Banshee, and it's one of those things that you find invaluable in the right situations."

Grabbing the Ingots, David began to get to work, taking them over to one of the several "Safe" machines that Doom was supposed to tell the students not to touch.
Still, he actually did some safety checks before chucking the ingots into some kind of industrial microwave as Devon asked if he needed anything.
"Just time, Devon, just time..." He answered as he fired it up and watched like a child would watch popcorn.
As the metal melted into a bowl designed to collect it, David glanced over at Ella.
"...So how long you two been together? Think I saw her once or twice during the Angel war..."

Rugal meanwhile was chuckling at the idea of checking out the ruined lab.
"And while you are at it, can you make a ring that'll clear the idea of UNIT? Second they got involved, the whole area was blockaded a mile in each direction. You'd have better luck trying to find the formula on the Internet or something..." He said, reminding himself of the fate of his former stronghold.
"...Tell me, you plan to be a blacksmith when you are older? I mean, the whole wide world could learn a thing or two from you..."

"OK two things..." Shadow said as he sat down by by Melethia.

"First I've already stated. Shit ton of iron. Second. We. Are. SURROUNDED. By people who use MAGIC. Or shit like it. Now I'm not gonna pretend I have a clue to how it works. Cause I don't. But can't we just used "magic to get the parts we need?"

Then he went on "and since we have mister gun expert over here" pointing at Rugal.

"We could easily build one. And if we don't have the right equipment to shape the parts into the right shape, again, "magic" will work right?"

Devon responded as Ella collected the needed items to help with the next stage. "We met up as my original training ended. You know, right during that forest. Man, talk about your Training From Hell! She had to leave to handle some of her own stuff, but she came back a little bit ago. Kinda got in trouble because I was doing a lot else, but either you bust your ass to keep up or you get left in the Dust. Even then, it's still not easy... 16 hour days of nothing but keeping up."

[hr]



Melethia sighed. "There's no ring that could do that... I'd have to find another way. Still, when I'm older, I dunno what I'd really be doing. I mean, making and dismantling stuff is really fun, but there's also being able to handle yourself in a fight. I mean, we both know Sis can't handle herself well up close, but that's something I'd like to change."

And when Shadow responded back, the elf rolled her eyes. "Okay, tell me what happens if you're in an area where you can't use magic. What then? Places like that do exist, and they'd leave you stranded without a weapon with sharks circling around you. I say learn the basics first, then learn about the magic."

David let out a "Ahhh..." of understanding as he picked up the dish of the now molten metal before bringing it to one of the other machines.
"Man, for a bunch of "Superheroes", we have a lot of ties to hell..." He commented as he set up molds for the parts of the helmet.
"Then again, after that trouble with the Angels..."

Rugal meanwhile shared Melethia's resentment.
"That and I don't really care how much you want another Gun, I'm not the business of weapon manufacturing, not anymore..." He said to Shadow, finding something about the man to rub him up the wrong way.
Getting back on the topic of what Melethia was going to do when she was older, He added "I wouldn't worry about Teri, she can handle herself. And thats nothing some training from yours truly can't fix...."

Teri was in a much better place with Devon's spells getting the smell away from her, and making the thought of actually working in the class a plausible one. With a clearly gracious "Thank you" tumbling out of the girl as she looked at the group's efforts. With a look of concentration, she scribbled something on her tablet and a book [http://images.betterworldbooks.com/075/Weapon-Holmes-Richard-9780756665401.jpg] appeared in her bag, making it sag a little more to the observant eye. After reeling a little from poofing something from a bookstore, she began flipping through the pages and wondered aloud,

[color=0E59E4]"Maybe we can look through here to get a better reference on the construction.... What period are we looking to for the armor? Somewhere in the Renaissance, like tournament armor [https://www.medievalcollectables.com/images/Category/medium/80.png], or something a lot more archaic, like a Greek helmet [https://encrypted-tbn2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSSUVSTH6ELQ9AjyhnstBc3usePuzrVvze0hguXLmrNWKjMwSsX_g]?"[/color]

As she asked, she held up the book to the appropriate pictures; hoping that could help along in the design of their piece.

Ton Ton and Cadolbolg, on the other hand, were having fun taking turns banging the hammer on their melted metal monstrosity. It was... Well, helmet shaped; but it was a large piece of flat metal as opposed to a 3-dimensional object, almost like a crude drawing of a helmet instead of a replication of one.

David glanced over at the pictures as he went about making Molds for their helmet.
"Well, Devon came up with a good one while you were...whatever you were, D. Can you bring that up again?" David said as the bard Did just that
"We're thinking something like that, only dumbed down enough to be plausible for us to make, Still, I'm open to ideas." He explained, leaving the Molds unfinished for any possible changes in design.

Devon continued with the process, gathering the last few things as well as some materials for the Cutie Bruisers to use for their item.

Also, Melethia nodded. "Don't forget me or that Music man making that spell over there!" She pointed over to Devon's table which had a small hum from it.

 

[Diablo1099_v1legacy]

David looked at Melethia and said "Fair enough, see the design?" before motioning to the image Devon had made.
"We're making a less advanced version of that. Kinda a killer robot vibe to it." He added, causing a mild humf from Rugal who actually HAD worked with Killer Robots.
"No Offense, but the kinds I knew? Wouldn't be seen dead in that.
"Oh, like a murdering kill-bot would be picky about how it looks. Could be a floating pink cube with guns and it wouldn't care."
"...You haven't met many killer robots, have you?" Rugal stated, recalling how OCD Viscus was about his armor, right down to the paint job.

"I can see im well liked." Shadow joked as he walked back over to his seat.

As soon as he sat down he began muttering "we can build a fucking iron man helmet but not a gun...."

KILL

"Shut up I do give a shit that much..."

Just then he felt a light tapping on his shoulder and turned around to see Taytum.

Holding a older weapon that had not been made for a long time, and it was made entirely of iron.

Shadow couldn't believe, "how the hell.... No wait never mind...." Shadow said as Taytum handed him the gun.

"Thank you" he said as he took the gun and aimed down the sights.

Then he realized something. He needed ammo....

"Son of a BI.."

Devon received the first major section out of the forge after it cooled down and approached David. "Is there anything we need to do like smooth the metal out or maybe polish it? Check the insides for any areas that weren't really touched up on too well?"

[hr]

Melethia shrugged. "Ya see them in any which way, shape, or form, ya know. It wouldn't be the first time that a weird one popped up, and there'd be that surprise factor." After a bit, she looked at the gun Taytum had made. It was well-made, but in her eyes, it seemed to be missing that personal touch that only making it by hand imbued in it.

"Well, Cowl, ya think they'd be wantin' ya to make something like that here? Besides, ya wouldn't be able to make the gunpowder in this class for the ammo. I think that would be a Chemistry class. Besides, while a gun's nice, if you're goin' for self defense, not much beats a good ol' returner."
