Welcome to the Dark Forge. Here you can order your weaponry, and someone will be right with you... please keep in mind that we are bound to be busy and you might be required to wait patiently for your order to be filled. ;)
 
- Shimmers in with a Soft Red Glow. -

"Hello, Titania.. I was thinking about stepping up my game or just spicing things up, and was wondering if I could get a pair of fighting fans? I would like them to be dark black stainless steel? Is that possible?"

- The Siren Waited for a Response. -
 
*A circle of flames erupted in the middle of the floor, shotting up into the sky as a dome formed. As the flames die away and the smoke subsides, Amy walks into the store, looking around at all the weaponry. After the Mastrix had placed her order, she waited patiently for her turn, thinking about what she wanted.*

"Would it be alright to request two custom weapons? The first one i would like be stainless steel fighting fans, exactly like the one's Katana uses in Mortal Kombat. The other, i was wondering if you could arrange to obtain a hand held blade, in the shape of an S, that when thrown rotated in a circle, causing major cuts...like the one Blade uses in his two movies, Blade 1 and 2."

*She browsed through the other racks as she waited to be served, and whistled a tone while she was at it.*

ooc- if you want pics i can find some for you :)
 
:: In firey shimmers, Hex appears. he had been waiting for a shop like this to open, and he couldnt wait to get his hands on some deadly weapons.. ::

"Hello, I was wondering if I could request something quite unusual. I would like something that Wolverine has.. he's a powerful mutant, and his name is spread all over from where I come from. His genetic factor is that of healing, however he has been enhaned with adamantium around his skelliton, I would like this, complete with claws..."

:: He nodded gently, and then started to look around the place, it did indeed look amazing. ::

"And I am also looking for a whip of some sort, something powerful.. not kinky ;).. I want it to have a strong quality, so no one can break it, or get out of its grasp while I have it wrapped around there neck."
 
<< Sati fades into view before a glass counter filled with the most rare and arcane of dark weaponry. Dressed simply yet elegently in a black low cut body suit, a pattern of dark violet lace barely visible over the edge, she walks towards the patrons on the Dark Forge >>

"Welcome to the Dark Forge. I'm Sati, and I'll be your shopkeeper today ;)"

:: As Melody speaks her request, she nods, holding out her hand, summoning a pair of fighting fans to her. She flips one of them open with ease, displaying the pin point, precise edge of the midnight black fans ::

"Pure black steel. The edge is razor thin, and edged in the finest of layers of diamond. The diamond enhances the blade - it will cut through flesh and bone with ease, and with enough pressure, many other materials. The steel is magically enhanced to be as strong as any other metal could be. As a reflection of its thin edge, when used in a magical battle, the first time you draw it your opponent will be unable to see it in your hand - the first time it is drawn, only."

:: She flips the fan closed, summoning a black, antique looking, gilt edged box, in which she places them carefully. ::

"1250 Gil."

________________________________

:: Turning to Amy's requests, she smiles ::

"I know exactly what you mean."

:: She withdraws another pair of fighting fans from the glass cabinet beside her - this time the fans are a deep silver, stainless steel, and slightly larger then the ones for Melody ::

"Stainless steel, as you requested. The edges are tapered to a delicate point, the fan itself light as a feather - yet it looses none of its power - perfect for slicing through human flesh and bone. If disarmed, they will close immediately, their weight increasing so that you, and only you, can use them. 1250 Gil."

:: Placing them in their charcoal grey antique wrapping, she places them down on top of a glass counter, conjuring a rectangular blade. Focusing her attention on it, she reashapes it to an S shape, almost exactly the same as the ones that Blade had carried and used to great effect. The edges are as razor sharp as the fans were, the deep, yet sparkling silver amtching that of the fans. ::

"Quite an unusual request! Yet I believe this is what you wanted. Perfectly balanced, this allows for pin point accuracy - as well as being as sharp as your fighting fans, this will loop around through the air, tracking your opponent no matter where they run, circling back to him or her, cutting them, and looping back around to yourself. This retails for 1500 Gil. Making a total of 2750 Gil for the set."

____________________________________

:: Hearing Hex's first request, she smiles ::

"It can be quite lengthy - and expensive. Your almost unique adamantium skelton will cost you 4750 Gil. We'll take that one last, shall we? "

:: She summons to herself a thin, five feet long, black whip, holding it in a coil before her ::

"Five feet long... made of a strong, heavyweight material, yet bewitched to be light enough to move with great speed. The speed at which it can move, combined with the thinner edge makes for a devastating impact when used in the right hand, allowing you to bruise and cut through skin on impact. When wrapped around an opponent, it has a snakelike quality, squeezing them tighter and tighter. The more they struggle, the stronger it becomes - in magical battles only. 1600 Gil."

:: Packaging the whip instantly, she places it on the counter, ready for Hex to obtain as and when he leaves the store. She leads him into a back room, a darkly decorated room. In the center is a charcoal black, metal table, almost a bed, really. Gesturing for him to lie down on it, she steps to the side, gathering her concentration as she sprays a light powder of violet over him ::

"Try not to tense up. I've sedated you as much as I can, but it is not a pleasant process."

:: As Hex starts to relax,she moves closer, concentrating intensely on the arrangement of molecules within his body. Slowly at first, the outer edge of his skeleton begins to fuse with an adamantium liquid, The liquid drying almost instantly. As Sati's focus and infusion of power shifts downwards, his entire skeleton slowly fuses with the near indestructible metal. Finishing the process, she touches the backs of his hands lightly with her fingertips. Three metal claws per hand cling to his skeleton, hidden for the moment, but ready to be called the moment he wishes it. As the sedation starts to wear off, Hex starts to feel a weariness, and a painful ache in all of his joints - especially his hands, and his body feels perculiarly heavy. Smiling reassuringly at him, she gestures towards a plush red couch ::

"Don't worry, it'll pass - you've just been through a powerful process, it'll take some time to get used to your new skeleton. You can take as much time as you like in here to rest - your whip will be on the counter within the store, along with your bill - which, by the way, stands at a total of 6350 Gil. Expensive, but worth it - wouldn't you agree?
 
:: Hex's body felt extremley heavy as he sat up from where he was lay. He smirked as he looked at his trobbing hands. 3 claws on each hand emerged, slashing the skin. He screamed in pain but happily smiled. ::

"Thankyou, Sati."

:: He smiled happlily and then looked at them, and then took the whip. He stood up, walking heavily on the floor. His feet seemed to drag along the floor. ::

"This feels.... great"

:: He then handed Sati the gil.. making his claws shoot back inside his body. The gashes remained there, but this didnt bother him. He just loved the fact that he was now even more powerful. ::
 
*She nodded to Sati, smiling, as she watched her produce the two unique set of weapons she had requested. Looking at their silver edged-sharpness, she grinned, anxiously walking up to the counter as she handed Sati the money.*

"Thank you very much, I'll take good care of these bad boys."

*She winked, taking the boxes and disappeared in a wind of smoke.*
 
:: In a swirl of Rose Petals Kurama Sutro appeared in the ancient and mystical forge. He smiled at Sati ::

"Sati, as I have sensed and heard that you reciently performed a quite wonderous procedure on Hex. LAcing his bones with adamantium. I was thinking of obtaining something similar. As you may know from the elaborate portrayal of the real thing in X-2, there is a mutant called Lady Deathstrike. She had a similar procedure done to her like Wolverine, but her claws manifested in her nails, giving her a total of ten of them and with out having to cause the pain of ripping through skin. I was wondering if it would be possible to have my bones turned into a scarlet diamond? I would also like the claws to come through my nails like her. Also can the diamond either be magickally enhanced to be unbreakable or combined with a metal alloy allowing the same thing? Also can I know the price of this before going through with it?"

:: Kurama waited patiently for her response ::
 
::Titania takes this opportunity to emerge from a door beside a huge, darkened mirror, off to the side of the sales counter... upon closer look, the mirror is clearly one way glass, and all can safely assume that she has been watching from with the room... she leaves the door ajar behind her, and onlookers can see that she was in a large office or lounge of some sort... a flick of her wrist and the door slams shut behind her... she licks her lips slowly as she snaps her fingers, calling the attention of all in the room...::

"I can see... that this enhanced skeleton ordeal is becoming very popular... I have decided, due to the effects and aspects involved... to make this a more pricey offer... NOT ONLY are your bones becoming more resistant to breakage... as it would take someone with intense strength to cause damage to your frame.... and you will take on such extensive weaponry.... but we don't want EVERYONE running around with metal for bones... it gets repetitive... I think the price of Ten Thousand gil is more suited for this procedure... AND... it must be approved by a Wraith... namely... me. Kurama, you should know that another M.o.E. has approached me about a "Lady Deathstryke" type effect being given to her... she asked earlier this afternoon. An Unbreakable Charm being put on your personal order would most likely double the price... and I don't think it is suitable for someone of your level... it sounds like more of a level seven or eight type in terms of sheer power..."
 
"Alrighty, I am willing to pay the ten thousand for my transformation Christy. Would you please do the honors? No offense to you Sati but with a wraith less chance for things to go awry. Remember Christy, it is scarlet diamond, not the clear white trash :p and the claws are through my nails not knuckles. Tell me what I need to do Christy and work your magicks."

:: Kurama stands firm awaiting instructions and the addition to his body infusing him with new power and enhancing his beauty at the same time ::
 
:: Hex looked at Kurama, rolling his eyes. He couldn't believe that he had the cheek to come in and basically steal his order, just tweaking it to make it sound like it was ACTUALLY different. Hex wanted HIS prodedure to be Unique, though he had spoken to Sati.. she too wanted this done, Hex didnt mind this as she talked with him before she was going to get it done, they had also arranged a fight and such. He was extremley angry, and he darted a look at Kurama. ::

"Trust you to copy my order, tweaking it slightly... I always knew you we're the jealous type, but this.. well this is just pathetic."

:: He then shot up his left hand, two of the claws drew back into his skin, leaving the middle claw, he showed it Kurama like the middle-finger-salute.. He then dissapeared with red hot shimmers, streaking the air red. ::
 
:: Kurama glared at the a$$ Hex and as he showed him the middle finger with his puny claws, Kurama twirled a finger bending the claw painfully and then fired a mystic flame blast which missed as he had shimmered and Kurama redirected the blast into the fire of the forge, as to not leave any damage. He gave a nod to Sati ::

"Christy, I am actually going to cancel that particular order. As it seems the one you refered to getting the lady deathstrike is a dear friend of mine, and I think she would be better suited for it. So Sati as we discuss privately you are free to choose this and not worry about being copied ever. So I formally withdraw this order and you may strike it from the record."

:: Kurama smiled at Sati, he did mind a little giving this up but as he had discovered it was her idea originally. Plus he truly believed she would work it much better than him in terms of look and skill. She would surpass that insolent dog Hex in the fight they were plaining. He now looked to the two ladies ::

"So how about I buy something else then? How about a Rose Blade Sword? I would like it 21 inches long, 6 of those being the handle. The handle being an ornate green rose vine complete with thorns that won't hurt me when I touch it but if someone else were to they would stab inccesently and inject a lovely poison as well. The blade I would like to be tempured adamantium with a bit of scarlet diamond alloy in it, giving it a deadly yet beautiful look to it. Also could it have a neat effect of ya'lls choosing when it is inserted into the ground? How much would that cost?"

:: Kurama awaits the answer of one of the ladies ::
 
"ENOUGH!!"

::Ti suddenly speaks up as both Hex AND Kurama recieve painfully overcharged static shocks somewhere in the middle of their backs... she looks between the two, slightly irritated, as she speaks again, rolls up her sleeves and folds her arms across her chest::

"Hex, please reserve the blatant shows of disrespect that lesser beings use for a time when you are NOT in fron of me... lest I REMOVE that middle claw AND the finger used for the same effect.... Kurama... please refrain from using powers against another M.o.E. in the Dark Forge... lest I STRIP you of the offending power..."

"I WILL NOT have incessant CHILDISH BICKERING in this store, or any others within the Midnight Plaza... DO I MAKE MYSELF PERFECTLY CLEAR, GENTLEMEN?"

::she motions for Kurama to come forth, nodding and dismissing his order for the skeletal enhancement... taking in his order for the sword... she leans against the sale counter, and raises her arms in the air... several different energies begun to appear in front of her, swirling together quickly... a silver tint, then a red one, then green.... the shop was filled with a deafening rushing sound and intense winds were blowing things about... Ti seemed unaffected, her eyes closed, concentrating as her hair blew back wildy and the energies began to slow... Ti reached into the swirl of energies and pulled out the work of art that would be Kurama's custom weaponry... a smug smirk was on her face... and her steely blue eyes gleamed.... she sheathed Rama's sword and boxed it, holding it out and expecting payment...::

"That will be 3250 gil for your Rose Sword, Kurama Sutro... fine piece of work you've now got... the effects you requested were imbued... along with the ground effect... upon inserting it in the ground, you will gain limited control over vines that will sproout from the earth... you will have as many vines as your level, that last as long as your level... keep in mind that the size of these vines will be appropriate for your level... if you ever have any questions... you know how to reach me... enjoy your weaponry Rama."

::Ti looks over the store... business seems to have slowed for the moment, and now appears to be the best time to fill her employee's order... she motions to Sati, with a soft smile and a hand on her shoulder...::

"Ok Sati... I can go ahead and fix ya up... I'll hold down the store while you rest afterward... you'll need and hour or two to recover..."
 
:: Kurama doesn't mind the shock as he has become somewhat acostomed to lightning. He watched Christy work and then as his sword was ready handed over his Gil. ::

"Here you go and sorry for earlier, also I shall be back soon for that other enhancement that we have been discussing"

:: With that Kurama leaves in a swirl of rose petals ::
 
:: Sati smiles at Kurama as he leaves... a little surprised at their fighting, but not entirely shocked. She takes another quick glance over the store which was, indeed, emptying for now, and nods to Ti ::

"Thanks, Ti. I gotta apologise for the fighting going on in here, however... it was at least partialy my fault."

:: She smiles slightly, flipping her dark hair over her shoulder ::

"But as they say... on with the show ;) Lets get this done."
 
:: Another swirl of rose petals appear in front of the case ::

"Hey Christy, I have the funds for my wings. So after you do her bones, would you mind getting my wings?"

:: Kurama beams happily awaiting his new purchase ::
 
:: Gwendolyn walks in and looks around and then she asks right from the air ::

"Can anyone tell me what a couple of throwing stars costs?"
 
"Indeed..."

::Ti smiles softly and gestures for Sati to follow her to a room off to the side... she turns back to look over her shoulder at Kurama...speaking to him in a playful tone::

"And after you're done ordering me about, perhaps you wouldn't mind saying the magick words?" ;)

:: as they enter it, it appears to be some kind of lounge... with a sofa off to the side and decorated in dark colors that seems to induce sleep....::

"This is where future body transformations should take place... it allows the buyer room to rest afterward... I expect you will need a few hours to get accustomed to the changes that will take place... namely that you will feel so weighted down at first... don't worry, feel free to take your time... now, lets do this, shall we... please, try to stand still..."

::Ti held a hand over Sati, closing her eyes with the same look of determined concentration she had when developing Kurama's sword.... Sati found herself being lifted from the floor... and overtaken by a cyclone of some sort.... she could feel a warm sensation spreading over her skin.... it continued to intensify slowly... for what seemed like an eternity... soon, it seemed to Sati uncomfortably hot... and as soon as it hit an almost unbearable level... it stopped... Sati suddenly felt a strong force pulling her downward... before she could hit the floor, Ti opened her eyes and caught her with Telekinesis, and moved her gently to the sofa... a soft reassuring smile on her lips... she snapped her fingers.... as 4750 gil flew from Sati to Titania... Ti knew her hand would be too heavy to even attempt a lift at the moment... she snapped her fingers again, and a small orangeish looking imp appeared by Sati, looking eager to please... he looked at Ti, who pointed to Sati, laying on the sofa...::

"Alright Sati, I'm all done... if you need anything... this is Oswald.. he'll be happy to get you something until you can move again...now rest up."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

::Ti turned on her heel, pivoting quickly and leaving the room, as Oswald the imp loooked up at Sati with a sappy smile... Ti approached Kurama with a smirk...::

"I shouldn't doubt this will be excruciatingly painful... it's an extensive procedure... but if you will follow me out of the main atrium... into another side room, we'll get you loaded down.. Now... as with all body transformations... not only will it hurt like hell... but you should probably rest afterward... and make sure you give these bad bay wings a test flight before trying them out in the middle of a life or death battlefield situation..."

::Ti spoke over her shoulder as he tagged along behind her, she was in a confident, brisk stride, already leading him into another darkened room...::

"Ok, kneel down... and lean forward for me. oh, and remove your shirt..."

::Ti watches as he does this... and she conjures herself a bottle of water... she has just noticed the light film of sweat that is glistening on her body... the transformation of Sati got quite hot for a minute or two... she downs the entire bottle quickly, and the empty bottle disappears, as she rolls her sleeves up a bit higher and moves behind Kurama as he kneels in the center of the room...::

"Ok, this will hurt... hold still."

::She drags a sharp, manicured nail down his upper back, just on the inside of his left shoudler blade, making a long cut, slightly rounded... on the other side of his spine and just inside his right shoulder blade, she makes and identical incision... she ignores the blood that runs down his back following her nail.... as she places her left hand over his two newly opened wounds and lifts her right hand, outstretched, in the air above her head.... a stroke of lighting strikes down through the Dark Forge, hitting Ti's raised hand... Ti feels the flow of dark Magicks through her, as she summons more energy... and then fires it into Kurama's back... he can now feel her magicks coursing through his stinging wounds... and he tries to imagine that the weaponry he will have in the end will be worth the pain he's in now... but it isn't easy... Ti can see the wings forming on his back, first small but growing quickly, shining metallic weapons that will be permanantly fixed to this mutant's back.... Ti can feel her own body working overtime to maintain control over the flow of magicks... she grits her teeth... and closes her fist, cutting off the flow of magick and taking a step back... Kurama's wings are complete...::

"Haha... sweet. Now remember... there are limits... while you will be able to use these as a sheild... they are fixed to your body... if they should be forcibly removed... it will hurt like hell... and need healing... it would be like losing an arm or leg... also... while they are made of adamantium and quite strong... remember that as a metal, they will conduct electricity well and should you use them to shield you from enery projection electric in nature... you will be very vulnerable to nasty shock. The wing tips each shoot three sharp, metallic projectiles poisonous in nature, for a total of six... at the end of the battle, the blades/arrows/darts.... whatever you want to call them will return to you... once you have shot them, they do not reload until you leave that battle... you may rest here for now..."
 
:: Kurama followed her instructions and as he awaited the procedure he breathed slowly meditating his body to sustain conciousness while the procedure took place. He cringed at her touch and cutting on his back with her nail ::

"A little kinky are we?"

:: Kurama smirks until he hears the sound of lightning and prepares himself for what happens next. He gasps as the lightning goes into his wounds and shift his body into new capabilites. He feels his bones expanding and growing out of normalcy. Once they do he feels them shift into adamantium. He feels them steadily growing and growing. As Christy ends her Magicks he breathes again. The wings have become one with him. He feels heavier and knows he will need to train to control these new abilties. Kurama looked up and listened to his dear friend. He nodded his understanding ::

"Very well I understand. Thank you Christy, not as painful as I expected. I think I will take you up on that offer of rest"

:: Kurama flapped the wings grimacing a bit as he propelled himself to a couch and layed down. The wings suprisingly adapting to the new area and were more flexable. He closed his eyes and breathed the breath of relif ::
 
::In Ti's hand appeared a small black towel monogrammed with "CZ" in elaborate lettering... her own personal towel... and she dabbed herself softly as she played along with him... He Just Didn't Know... hehe.... he just didn't know....::

"Haha... you know me darling... quite the Cowgirl... just ask Julian...." :hihi:

::Ti laughingly responds in a playful tone as she leaves him to his rest... and Gwen catches her eye... Ti nods, making her way to the young Dark Faerie... tilting her head softly...::

"Certainly... but it depends heavily on what you want and how many you want... your run of the mill throwing stars will run for about 30 gil a pair... what exactly did you have in mind dear?"
