Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:34:02 AM)
::Kaia's sedan vroomed smoothly into the driveway, the sliding door opening as she parks in the garage, relieving Kurt of the beignets in his hand, a vibrantly green drink in her other, and she balances both, as she makes her way towards the workshop, sipping the drink, and trying to figure out how to dip the pillowy goodness.... and eat it.. while trying to get her keys for the workshop out:: I need more arms!

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:34:04 AM)
*sitting in the truck, listening to music quietly enough not to bother the neighbors, windows down to let the breeze through though, leaning against his door and lounging sidways across the inside of the truck's cab. He's slouched low enough that his ankles rest on the sill of the passenger side*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 1:36:26 AM)
Kurt's Harley vroomed up into the driveway, he shut it down and secured his helmet. He was dressed ina tight green vintage t-shirt, and a pair of designer jeans and a pair of Steve Madden sneakers. Kurt laughed at Kaia's remark. "I can hold some of that if you want."

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:38:36 AM)
No way! You'll eat more of them! ::said teasingly, as she hands him her drink, and starts to unlock the workshop, sliding the door aside, before popping another one, this one plain, then plucking another one, still chewing, as she dunks it in raspberry sauce and starts to head for the street, to go collect her lazy guardian:: Make yourself at home, Kurt... ::crossing her driveway::

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:39:28 AM)
*gets out of his truck, killing Cohen and bringing the keys and his leather satchel with him to follow Kaia around the side of the house*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 1:40:34 AM)
Kurt Takes the drink inside and sets it down on a coaster on the counter in teh kitchen.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:41:16 AM)
*or..as she meets him in the street* Hey.. didn't realize you had company when I texted ya. Should have said something.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:42:14 AM)
::she looks to Lukas and smiles:: Hey you... ::managing to wait to eat the beignet until she greeted him, and then popping it in again, moving for her workshop to get it open, and the forge lit. Leaving the door open, and she padded into the forge, still chewing, she shakes her head:: It's fine, we were wandering aimlessly, gorging ourselves on sugar.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:44:02 AM)
Nothing wrong with that.. I hadn't meant to cut it short. *chuckles* Thank you, though.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:45:33 AM)
::she smiles:: It's fine... we were just talking about sept stuff... ::leaning down, she licked her thumb and finger, as she began to get the forge lit for him:: Mmmm, you're going to have to learn to do this yourself one of these days...

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:45:44 AM)
Today is good.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:46:26 AM)
*giving her that half-smile he tends to default to, crouching down so he can see what she's doing*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:47:10 AM)
::she perks a brow:: Okay.... ::she nods him over, and then shows what she was doing, as she points and gestures, moving more slowly than usual to get the fires burning::

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 1:48:23 AM)
Kurt wandered around and picked up one of Kaia's random sketchpads and sat down and flipped through it.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:49:11 AM)
*runs through the steps verbally, pointing to each part correspondingly to make sure he's got it right..then adds* ..I'll want to see that a few more times before I try it. *chuckles*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:49:33 AM)
::she grins:: So will I

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:49:45 AM)
I can post instructions... in case I'm not here.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:51:03 AM)
Wouldn't hurt. Later. *nodding his agreement* I'm fine out here, if you'd like to get back to your company. *nods to her lightly*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:51:54 AM)
::she laughs, rolling her eyes:: I don't know why he went in... and didn't come out here.. ::she holds out the mostly-gone beignets, offering him one, raspberry and chocolate sauces for dipping::

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:52:56 AM)
*dusts his hands clean on the carpenters jeans and accepts one, snagging it in his fingers and dunking it in the fruit topping* Probably..if I had to guess..because he prefers your company, to mine. *smirking and taking a bite* Can ya blame him?

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 1:53:44 AM)
(lol)

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 1:54:57 AM)
::she smiles and plucks another love pillow of pastry and dunks it in chocolate, popping it in her mouth with absolute joy, and she winks:: I don't know... you can be pretty charming when you put your mind to it. 'Sides.. I'm boring tonight... nice and mellow. ::she shrugs a shoulder:: Worked out twice.... plus beating on metal today. Damn cages are going to be finished soon, swear it. Tired myself out...

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 1:58:10 AM)
Charming? I am Fenrir, and I resent that accusation. Besides, so far as Kurt goes..I don't think he'd care if he had to do all the work.. *humor glittering in the black gaze as he eats the rest of the beignet she'd given him*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 1:58:21 AM)
Kurt flips thru the pages of the sketch book paying close attention to some, smirking at others. He finally comes to the sketches that he knows something about and begins to intensly study them.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 2:00:26 AM)
::she laughs:: You are Fenrir, and a southern gentleman, when you want. ::she rolls her eyes.:: I'm not so sure he's ready for that. I touched his arm today... gave him goosebumps. We might have reached the limit of physical contact he can safely handle today. ::said gently, teasingly::

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:02:54 AM)
That would keep things rather convenient for you, wouldn't it? *strangely, perhaps, shaking his head* If you'd rather he be out here..looks like you're going to have to go let him in on the secret.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 2:04:10 AM)
::she flicks an eyebrow, looking to him:: Got something to say?

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:05:06 AM)
Kurt looked at the sketches making notes in his mind, it's true the girl was an artist but she deffinetly needed to be schooled on practicality over artistry. She was deffinetly the artist, and he was the weaponsmith.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:07:29 AM)
Nothing I haven't said before. *easily, candidly, getting his gloves out of the satchel*

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 2:10:39 AM)
::she nods to him:: And nothing has changed, from what I said before. ::as she yawns:: I'm probably going for bed soon... door to the house will be unlocked, in case you need to get inside... ::padding to the house as she eats another beignet::

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:11:32 AM)
Kurt was looking through sketch pads on teh couch, looking at her blade designs.

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 2:13:09 AM)
(alright, Kaia is going to nini, because my wrists and brain can't take anymore awake time. Kaia will go over the designs with him for a bit, before encouraging him to go to his own bed, at home)

Kaia Skaare (Sep 17, 2010 2:14:18 AM)
(Lukas can beat metal to his heart's content)

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:14:26 AM)
((Can and will. ;) ))

(This user has left DigiChat) (IP = 76.114.25.65)

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:15:08 AM)
After Kaia went to bed, Kurt came out back to the forge. "How'd that bowel work out for you?"

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:15:14 AM)
err bowl

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:15:18 AM)
Didn't make one.

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:15:27 AM)
"What did you make?"

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:16:11 AM)
Not done yet. *pulls what is recognizably a spoon from his bag, and holds it up with a grin*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:18:05 AM)
Kurt grinned. "Go with what you know, good plan." He looked over at what Lukas was doing. "When your hammering away, have you noticed that the metal has a way of tellign you which way it wants to go, shape-wise?"

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:21:37 AM)
*nods a little* A bit. It's easier to get it to cooperate sometimes than others.

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:23:57 AM)
"It'll take some time, but eventualy you'll be able to see that even when the metal is hot that the grains flow one way or another on a given piece of metal, you work with tit, you'll find it easier, you work against it, you'll be fighting an uphill battle and you'll make inferior craft." He sat down on a work bench. "Did Kaia explain to you all the parts of the anvil and what we use them for in order to shape the iron?"

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:25:00 AM)
No, she didn't. This is really just to see if I can get something other than Flat out of the forge. *chuckles, putting the spoon in to heat up*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:28:34 AM)
Kurt went about explaining all the parts of the anvil to him and what part each was used for, and what tools and objects were made using the parts of the anvil, giving space and time for Luaks to ask questions or comment as he liked during the lesson.

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:33:46 AM)
*listens, uses a cold piece of rebar to check positions with Kurt's examples, he catches on fast, giving examples of similar shapes on items Kurt didn't list to check what he's shown Lukas*

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:41:21 AM)
Kurt nodded. "Now what she didn't show you was how to place the coals in the forge. Ok... Se how we have a center piece in teh forge over the bellows almost like a little mound, it's perfectly circled with coals on the outside." He looked around. "Ok her forge isn't liek mine... we have a much more traditional one., but if you plan on buying one that have some really nice ones that don't take up a lot of room, they're called cylinder forges and tehy run off gass, same pricipla as a regualr forge all the same parts just heats the meatl faster, but... you don't get the regulation of carbon influx liek you would a real forge. You pretty much buy the steel a of the carbon cotent you want then heat and shape." He rana hand through hsi hair. 'ok this... this is the bellows, if you want to ad more fuel to the fire you pump this to get the fire hotter, and it'll heat teh steel quick."

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:45:25 AM)
*chuckles as Kurt familiarizes himself with the more modern forge, but pays close attention* What does the carbon content do for the steel?

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:47:33 AM)
*removes the spoon he'd been heating and uses the tongs to take it to the anvil, picking up the hammer he'd dropped through the loop on his slacks to work between information blocks, he moves the center of the spoon's bowl over half a centimeter as he works though..because the metal works better into the bowl of the spoon in that spot. He changes the angle of the handle gradually to correct for the shift*

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:48:18 AM)
((Sorry I was slow for a bit there.. had a phone call unexpectedly. lol))

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:48:49 AM)
"Iron is just iron... it cold and it's brittle, adding carbon to it makes it steel. When iron is heated it expands and when thrust into teh coke it collects carbon between teh mollecules forming steel, the percentage wise of carbon denotes the harness of the steel." He laughed."when my father was teaching me to smith the first thing we were taught to do in order to be called smiths was to make out own tools. My Father gave us the iron adn let us use his tools, but we made our own for our own purposes. Thats why all of my tools bear my mark." he smiled to the man as he recounted the story. "So if you're goinjg to be a smith you need to figure out your own mark as well."

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:50:54 AM)
I'll get Kaia to help me out on that part. I'm no artist, at least, not yet. And as for tools.. I think for the time being I'd better use what's around here. At least.. *holding up the hot spoon* Till I can prove I can even make something simple*

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 2:51:02 AM)
((del the last * plz))

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 2:56:59 AM)
He smiled. "Once you create something you're a smith, you have to sign your work, so that every person that sees it knows who made it. During my ancestors times, at least I'm told,... we were the smiths that made teh klaives and grand klaives for the fenrir, we shaped the purified moonsilver into a weappon for teh fenrir, ours were the strongest the most beautiful and the envied klaives to be had..... I'd like to continue that tradition. I know I can't imbue it with teh power of gaia, but I'd damn sure like to forge one a masterpiece, a life's work, somethign to that would make the tribe proud."

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:01:31 AM)
Well shit.. I'd better stop now. *putting the hammer aside with a wry smile* I haven't that sort of high goal or ambition for my craft.. just seemed there was a void of weaponsmiths here when I got started on this line of thought. And.. I can, with the rites..bind souls to the blades.

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 3:02:17 AM)
(( ahem spirits...)

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:03:03 AM)
((No ahem. Lukas considers spirits to be souls. Of a different sort, perhaps..lol Happens when one follows you around umbrally for a few years.))

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 3:03:36 AM)
(( I see... my bad))

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:04:34 AM)
((No worries. For all that he was raised a good christian (Good= not in church, but not in jail either).. Lukas would probably be shinto..if he know what that was. lol))

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:06:00 AM)
((And.. I need to log in 5.))

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 3:08:48 AM)
"The garou bind spirits to the weapons, not souls. MAster Forged-in-Blood-rhay taught me that. he asked the spirts told them tales of the golry they would gain, and they excepted fusing themselves withe the metal of the klaive. He was a sadist, and a hard amn, but I tell you this, if i saw him wounded on a battle field and it was in my power to take the killing blow i would. He is a wise and honorable garou, More so than my kin father was ever a teacher and a father to me. He's the one that told me to come to New orleans, to stay here. "

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:10:43 AM)
*slight smile at that* And what is a spirit then, if not the soul of what a thing is meant to be? Difference of opinion to call em one or the other, I've got one on my proverbial shoulder 24/7.. suppose I tend to think of em more generously than some.

Kurt Braun (Sep 17, 2010 3:14:01 AM)
Kurt nodded. "Spirits creep me out anyways. I saw them everyday in MAster's forge, but they still give me pause. " He sighed"i don't know what lies beyond the veil, or what floats around us, I just know my craft, and I know that with every blade i make, every weapon i forge that a wrymling dies, and that...that thought is enough to justify my place in the halls."

Lukas Vangelis (Sep 17, 2010 3:17:40 AM)
You could see them there? *lifting a brow lightly* I wasn't aware calling them to the metal would cause them to cross into this realm. Huh. I've got my fair share of shit to learn, ..may it never run out. *chuckling lightly* Agreed, Aetling. You'll do your part, as will we all. ((And I have to crash! Thanks for the RP. lol Night!))

(( Ah damn...))) " No i couldn't see them, but when he called the fire to grow hotter it was, when the metal needed to be cool he whispered and it was... one does not need to see to know that the spirits favored him. I leave you with the words of a dieing girl sent to be sacrificed on a burning long boat, an anthem to our people." he took a breath." Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother. And my sister and my brother Lo, there do I see the line of my people Back to the beginning. Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them In the halls of Valhalla Where the brave may live forever."
