Hammer to Fall

[lucidmutant]

Characters: Fawkes and you!
Setting: Floor Fifteen - Workshop, daytime
Format: Starting in prose, will match.
Summary: Fawkes grows tired of being unarmed, and goes to rectify this.
Warnings: Workin' in a workshop?


Between the various incidents that have gone on since he's been here, Fawkes has determined that this place, like the Capital Wasteland, seems like it will require a more violent approach - especially with the newer residents - namely, the monsters.

Lacking his weapons from home, the best thing to do in a situation like this is improvise.

Fawkes is currently rooting around the workshop for tools and parts he can use to craft a bludgeon of some sort - one of the tables has broken and warped metal bedframe pieces spread upon it.

...kind of a pity that the majority of these tools are sized for smaller hands than Fawkes', but he'll attempt to make do.

While he has been making sure to carefully explore each floor he comes across, he hasn't been on Floor Fifteen much. Today, though, the noise that catches his attention. Curious, Link creeps in to see what all the ruckus is about.

... wow. What a big guy. But he doesn't have a red collar from what Link can see, so he can't be all that bad.

"Hello?" he calls, a little cautiously because he doesn't want to startle this person or anything.

[lucidmutant]

The ruckus is about hammering at some pieces of taped-together metal to make them fit together better!

Fawkes looks up when he hears the voice, then waves the hammering hand a bit. "Greetings, little boy!" Fawkes' voice, however, lacks the caution, and is quite loud and boisterous.

[childhero]

How friendly! Link decides to go ahead and approach, though he keeps enough distance between them that he won't be in the way.

"What are you doing?" he asks curiously.

[lucidmutant]

Fawkes goes back to hammering, pacing his words to go between strikes. "I am attempting to craft a weapon, so that I might defend myself better here." He frowns a bit. "Things seem to be getting more and more dangerous as time goes on."

... whoops I picked the wrong icon there

[childhero]

Oh... That's who this person reminds Link of. Gabora, the blacksmith in the mountain village.

"That's what I've heard, too," Link agrees solemnly. "I guess I'm lucky. I've got my weapons here with me..."

No worries!

[lucidmutant]

Fawkes is a good bit smarter and verbose than Gabora, however!

The green giant nods, sighing a bit. "For that, I must admit a good bit of envy," he answers, looking down at the thing he's working on. "I fear this will not stand up to much abuse compared to the things I'm used to."

[childhero]

"Is there anything you need to make it stronger?" Maybe he could go around the Tower and find it. Link knows how these quests go. "I might be able to find whatever it is if I look around."

[lucidmutant]

Alas, Fawkes is a traveling companion, and the only quest he gives was already completed before he came to the tower.

"There is probably a number of things that could, but I lack the proper skill to implement them. What I have will do for now, but the thought is appreciated, little human."
