002 ♖ [video] | Seelie

[writeswrongs]

[Richard Castle is coming to you live from the Seelie armory where he's been assisting in the process of organizing the weapons, shields and armor for the forthcoming battle. Since he honestly doesn't plan on riding out to fight with people he doesn't want to kill in a battle he doesn't want to participate in, he figures this is a way to still be helpful without actually risking life and limb. Castle, of course, has a different definition of "helpful" than most people do. In fact, the first thing one notices on the locket screen is Castle wearing an armored helmet. He lifts the face shield and smiles at his audience.]

Hey. So, I just wanted to draw your attention to the armory. If you haven't visited here lately, they have the latest medieval technology for all your fighting needs, including armor hand-shined by yours truly.

[He turns the locket around in order to show a panoramic view of rows of shiny breastplates and helmets, all stacked neatly and awaiting wearers, then turns the view back on himself.]

So come check it out. I might even fit you myself, if you're that lucky.

[With that, Castle flips down the front of his helmet and flashes a thumbs up to the locket. Then, as an afterthought, he quickly raises the hatch again.]

Oh, while I'm thinking about it... I've heard that it's possible to use guns here. If you have any knowledge about how to acquire one, even if it's, shall we say, an older model, I'd be very interested to hear what you know.

That looks quite...impressive.

I must say sir, that you certainly seem to have been busy! I am sure that those who will wear that armor will be appreciative but I could not help but be curious - what, exactly, is a gun?

[video]

[menelluin]

[Smiling:] You have been busy.

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Thank you. My hands might be this dull grey color for the rest of my life though.

[He holds up a hand to the locket to show that it's covered black-grey varnish.]

[writeswrongs]

Ah.. a rifle? Pistol? Musket? Firearm? Any of that sound familiar?

[Sometimes people just don't know it as a gun since everyone's worlds are different.]

[video]

[writeswrongs]

You could say that.

[He doesn't mind being busy sometimes. Hey - at least he's helping without having to put himself in actual danger. Total win for him.]

[Video]

[wildgift]

Alas, a danger of such things, I think. Perhaps next time you might consider gloves?

-- Are you a squire?

[ no. he looks a little too old to be a squire, unless he is truly so unfortunate. ] Isn't it a squire's duty to polish armour?

[ Faramir shakes his head apologetically ]

My apologies sir, but none of those are familiar to me. I suspect they may not exist, in my world.

Ah, but your pardon, I am being rude - Faramir of Gondor, at your service

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Yeah, probably a good idea, though it's harder to scrape off grime while wearing gloves.

You in the market for some armor?

[writeswrongs]

Richard Castle of.. New York City. Pleased to meet you.

What I'm referring to is similar to a bow though it uses gunpowder and an explosion to push a piece of metal through a tube at high speed.

[Video]

[wildgift]

No, thank you. Last I heard, I'm forbidden from fighting.

[writeswrongs]

Ah, no. Just helping.

[Definitely not that pathetic. Although if squires don't go out to fight either then he might as well be a squire.]

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Oh? Do you mind if I ask why?

[He wonders how anyone really gets out of fighting here.]

[Video]

[wildgift]

Call it an...overprotective protector. Besides, I'm fairly certain I'd injure myself on that stuff before I did any attacker.

[ The fairies will deliver a note along with a fresh cup of herbal tea shortly after this post: ]

♥ ❤ Mr. Castle ❤ ♥

You make a very charming knight. Make sure you take proper breaks!

[ Yeah she took the time to draw hearts what are you going to do about it. ]

-- Why?

[pontificus]

[She looks all the more pleased to see him, smiles and bright colors despite the weather and impending war.]

And do you have armor to suit a lady? [She can imagine Caterina Sforza in her glittering silver armor, ready to take on her father's army. It makes her grin all the more, though she is sure she would not look the same in it.]

[theywhowait]

A pleasure, Master Castle.

I see! I had heard that Saruman used a black powder to create a hole in the walls of Helm's Deep, perhaps this was the gunpowder of which you speak? It certainly sounds a formidable weapon. Was this something you were trained in its use?

[Pod is among jars and herbs, trying to make more wound wash and liniments for the mounts while she can.]

I see you too are doing your part, Rick. I wonder, though, what is a gun?

Re: [video]

[menelluin]

May I help in any way?

[Video]

[writeswrongs]

Maybe you just need some training, although that won't do much for an overprotective person.

video

[writeswrongs]

['Master Castle'. People here are awesome.]

It's... possible? I've never heard of those things, but it sounds like something similar was used. What I'm talking about shoots projectiles though.

I've had some training with it. It's mostly practice, really.

[video]

[writeswrongs]

Uh.. sure if you'd like to. I think most of the breastplates have been done, but there are still some shields and swords left.

[writeswrongs]

Be..cause I want to be helpful? I dunno. Somebody had to do it.

[Might as well be him until he figures out a better use here for his talents.]
