The Last Poster Wins! [V9]

[Sir Sivelos]

Forge: To everybody who already got something from me, feel free to take a look around the workshop. I have a couple shops set up in case tourists came by. Nobody really does, though... *FORGE takes OMINOUS and upgrades his mechanical body, but not before putting his A.I. in an external hard drive so OMINOUS won't accidentally get deleted. Later, FORGE has constructed a new body for OMINOUS; with many improvements! The ORGIA Mode can now be used for over double the amount of time it could be use normally, as well as being able to connect with computer interfaces wirelessly.*

Forge: That should do it. I'm not really sure what you had in mind, personally, so I just improved what I saw. I also added some new features to your hardware, and some other things… I'd rather not get into it, it's awfully complicated.

Forge: Okay, let's see... *FORGE looks out over everybody. This room is getting a bit crowded.*

((I hate to do this, but would you mind giving me a list of who hasn't requested something? I can't remember. I know Tazz, LC, Apoph, Ecrivain, Rebecca and Ominous so far have gotten things, but I don't know who else needs things.))

Hey, Bahamut, I need to ask you something. It might seem weird, but hear me out. *SIVELOS pulls out the RIOLU DOLL he had in his old Earthly house.* I've had this ever since I was a kid - like, really young - and I just treated it as a plush. But I've been thinking, recently. Maybe it has something to do with Scyez, or something? Do you think it might be relevant?

Spoiler:

--Somewhere else…--
Vaxus: This is taking too long!! I don't have anything to work with, and all of the scouts don't understand my 'science mumbo-jumbo!!'

Taurus: Calm down, Vaxus. I am not expecting you to finish the project that quickly.

Vaxus: Yeah, yeah… But all of the crystal deposits we've been able to find so far have either been already mined up, or useless! AGH!!

Taurus: You're sure?

Vaxus: Positive. We can't find any, at least not in this super-dimension.

Taurus: The chance of finding more crystals in other super-dimensions is unlikely. However, we have been receiving word of energy signatures resembling those found in the crystals.

Vaxus: Oh? Do tell...

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

((Homboy. We'll assume that if every Elder Soul is served and nobody takes the final role than whoever didn't speak up doesn't get anything. The LONG list of those waiting for something new: Natalie Crimit (Crossbow), Stewart Briol/Storm (Rapier), QUAKE (Quarterstaff), TEAL (Rapier), Velvetine (Mace), Jeoffrey (Banjo), Carcino (Mace), Gear/Geoffrey Exius (Shotgun), Markus Novolos (Energy Cannon), Acidic Seoul (Knife) and Suits (Polearms). Some of them have other weapon types, but they can't be upgraded for various reasons, namely that they're basically masterpieces already crafted to perfection, or the requirements to do so would need more than one ULTIMATE BLACKSMITH. You might want to consider doing 2-3 at a time.))

Tazz: Ought to get this out of the way before I forget. Order from someone-Natalie Crimit. She's kind of in a state. Need this. *Tazz hands him a schematic for the ZEN AND TIME crossbow.*

*glares at everyone*

[Sir Sivelos]

*FORGE crafts the following:*

*The ZEN AND TIME, which he hands to TAZZ. Only the finest.*

*For Storm, he crafts the DEXTERITER, a rapier thriving on SKILL and WIT. The wittier, the better. It possesses a strange energy surrounding its blade. You recall there is an upgrade to this named the ROYAL DEXTERITER, but FORGE cannot craft it as it requires the work of two ULTIMATE BLACKSMITHS. Only one person currently has it, but you don't know who.*

Forge: I know who has it.

Who?

Forge: Vaxus and I teamed up temporarily… He had a bunch of projects to work on that he needed help with. If memory serves… Grandmaster Taurus probably wields the Royal Dexteriter, which is bad. The Royal Dexteriter has a bite to it that's similar to his axe. *FORGE juts his chin at TAZZ. He's probably referring to the ARBITRARIAN ENERGY TAZZ used.*

*groans* Lovely…

*Next… for QUAKE, FORGE crafts the FOUR QUARTERS MAKES A DOLLAR, a powerful quarter staff that allows free respawns, provided that the wielder has the equivalent of one dollar. There aren't many other attributes outside of that.*

*TEAL receives the FANG OF KHAN, a rapier that vaguely resembles a tooth from some sort of cyborg. It possesses a unique quality of firing copies of itself like bullets, giving it a ranged attack that's very, very good.*

*VELVETINE receives the JAR OF SOULS, a mace whose spiked end resembles a jar. It has a chance of brainwashing enemies onto the wielders' side… Combining this with VELVETINE's natural affinity for stuff like this, this makes for a powerful combination.*

Forge: Ho, hum. Give me some feedback, people. You're more silent than a graveyard...

[Wander]

psst you forgot me

you nerd i mean who

[Ganyu]

*stomach grumbles*

[Sir Sivelos]

Forge: Oh, right… You, Transformer. What would you like?

[Wander]

bells

NOT JUST ANY BELLS

necromancer bells

i need seven of them, starting with one the size of a small pill bottle and growing larger, till the seventh is almost the size of a jar

also they gotta be silver with mahogany handles cause i aint no evil necromancer with the bronze and ebony handles nah man that aint me

course theyre supposed to have magic in 'em to work, but i can deal with that dont even worry about it

[The Nonexistent Tazz]

((And somehow I forgot people: Pandora, Fans with Knives; Lillith, Orbs and Hammers. Former are Energy Channels, Latter are actual weapons, take your pick.))

Tazz: Trust me, they are lovely...Especially the Random effect on the Fang, I must appreciate that...I guess it's just they've somehow managed to have their fill of fighting. Bluh. I don't always get the 3rd Iteration's ideals...

TEAL:...You do realize that QUAKE cannot respawn? It's literally incompatible...Still incredible craftsmanship, surpassing the best of a civilization much older than us...Well, barring-

Tazz: Don't insult the Ultimate Blacksmith. They are called that for good reason. There is nothing-

TEAL: Impossible is nothing. Nothing itself is Impossible. The slightest of odds is always present-and in a very small handful they are surpassing him quite finely, with impossible qualities, including materials that are voidproofed. I do not say to mock him, that makes him the best I have ever met in my life...If this is my life...IT's just the principle of there always being someone better, really...Wait! Gear!

Gear: Just thought of it. Forge...This...This is probably a tall order. We're having troubles making this, but it's critical it be fixed.

*GEAR hands FORGE papers that detail an extensively complicated piece of miniscule machinery that would interface directly with the user's mind, dubbed 'TIMEMAKERS.' They are deceptively simple in function; they speed up a user's neural functions to at least 6 times their typical standards, in a process dubbed 'EPOCH.' However, this ability works better, apparently, with more people around, and if they have faster mental cognition, this makes the user six times as fast a thinker as each man's cognitive speeds combined-which means that, if you were standing next two the Flash and Nega-Flash, you'd be twelve times as fast of a thinker as the Flash and Nega-Flash are. Though to a lesser extent, this also translates to physical speed. That's not even the beginning-while in use, the user can also give this sped-up thought to others and have orders issued and carried out at the same speeds, which, depending on numbers, means that a whole army suddenly moves like a tidal wave and kills like one as well. Going back to the Flash and Nega-Flash example, the Flash and Nega-Flash will suddenly ALSO be thinking (in their cases) twice as fast as usual and easily able to understand and process their EPOCH-using ally's orders and carry them out, if they would ever be seen on the same team. This is all extremely useful and would certainly be a great contender for FORGE's Magnum Opus...If he could actually make it. For one, it would require materials at a minimum size that he simply does not have any access to. Second, the thing itself is nowhere near a state he could actually work. He's a Blacksmith, not a Physicist. There are limits. Lastly, making it even when all the parts are in place would be a long work. However, knowing who they are fighting, FORGE realizes why they'd ask. The greatest power IMAGE wields-his speed-could suddenly and wholly be turned against him at least sixfold by a good army, and without his immense speed he's not terribly hard to kill, especially with all that firepower, and this is just a specific application. This thing could destroy the Legion in seconds-and he hadn't even thought of such an idea. Sadly, it's beyond him for the most part-he could probably make the final steps, but as of right now it is useless for him to try. FORGE states the problems associated with trying to make it and turns down the schematic, but offers to make GEAR something else.*
