02 - second swing... oh god why

Characters: Mayu
Setting: Floor 15, Elevators, Dorms
Format: Brackets; will match
Summary: Thanks to Ryuunosuke, Mayu is now trying to mount a decapitated pony head to a piece of wood so she can hang it up in her room. Really.
Warnings: J-Just read the summary...

Floor 15
[Following the advice given by the helpful man in the library, she had found her way to Floor 15. Bearing 1x axe and 1x dead pony head. She sets the head down carefully and respectfully before mentally measuring by eye and looking for an appropriately sized piece of wood. Use the wood-carving tools? What for! She has an axe right there.

Mayu can be found, accordingly, carefully shaping a large chunk of wood into a headboard using her axe blade as a chisel with practised ease. It's... actually coming out rather well...]

Elevators
[oh look, an enclosed space with a midget, an axe and a mounted pony's head. That's still bleeding a little. Who wants to share the ride]

Dorms and Room 1-09
[Yep, this is sure getting mounted above her bed. Using the flat of her axe as a hammer to bash the nails in no less. Stop her, stare, revive to an unpleasant surprise... all up to you.]

[puppy_lancer]

Nice work. Man, I'm gonna need to ask you to teach me how to carve one. So I can mount my head I've got lying around.

[axeforasong]

Can make second if you want. Or would rather learn?

[puppy_lancer]

I'd rather learn. In case I get some more heads I wanna mount.

[axeforasong]

[she nods]

Is fair. Not sure how easy is with lance, though.

oops misfired

[puppy_lancer]

Easier than you think, actually. The lance is a pretty flexible weapon.

haha

[axeforasong]

But works as tool? Have never tried; will have to see.

Re: haha

[puppy_lancer]

There's tools for carving wood. Just like there's ones for working metal and leather.

[A pause.]

...Did you carve it all with your axe then?

[axeforasong]

Mhm! Papa taught me how! Is commemoration, yes? Worth the effort!

[puppy_lancer]

...Sounds like it.

[Especially if it was her father who taught her how to do it.]

Guess I'm gonna have to go around and look for an axe now.

[axeforasong]

[Mayu nods enthusiastically yes more people with axes is good]

[axeforasong]

[...though thinking back to that workshop]

Could probably make one, actually...

[puppy_lancer]

Really? Then show me how to make one, alright?

[axeforasong]

Wouldn't be expert! Is hard to work metal in mountains, yes? Just know the basics!

[puppy_lancer]

The basics are fine. I'll do the rest of the metalworking stuff.

[axeforasong]

Great! Should be simple then, yes?

[puppy_lancer]

Pretty much.

[He falls silent for a moment, and then reaches to pet the pony head.]

...May I?

[axeforasong]

Mhm. [she nods]

Her name was Kasztanka.

[puppy_lancer]

Nice name.

[But not one he's familiar with.]

Did you ride a lot?

[axeforasong]

[blame Poland]

Mhm! Learnt to ride with. She was so fast...

[puppy_lancer]

[He nods.]

I bet it was a lot of fun. Too bad we don't have any horses here. Though you might be able to try with some of the less dangerous monsters.

[axeforasong]

[she nods solemnly at first, but her eyes widen at Lancer's second point]

...Hadn't thought of that! What sort are around?

[puppy_lancer]

Ah...I've seen things like crows and snakes and huge chickens and crab-things.

[A pause.]

Oh, wait, I've seen some weird cows!

[axeforasong]

Really? Where?

[puppy_lancer]

On one of the floating island floors. You know about those?

[axeforasong]

...How can floor be floating island?
