[ The photograph attached to the post depicts the front of a small shop called Polydegmon's Lapidary and Brew. It's got that 'new store' look, where everything looks pristine and nothing has been touched by grime or dust settling in the corners yet. It's not the most terribly modern-looking place (look, the rent was cheap).

He wouldn't even be advertising it here if a certain someone didn't bug him to. Honestly, he could do without the publicity... ]

I am now accepting commissions as a goldsmith and alchemist. My hours are from midday to six, weekdays only. Or whatever it is you call them. No, my prices are not negotiable.

[ Attached beneath the above terse remark is the address to the store. ]

Additionally, I will NOT accept requests for items to use in warfare of any sort. At all. If I find that you have done so then I will make sure you regret it for the remainder of your days.


(ooc: Please respect that a character will suffer some kind of IC consequence if they try and use his products as IC war propaganda or in serious IC war efforts. Doubly so if they deceive him for it.

Hello!
It is nice to make your acquaintance!
My congratulations on starting your store.
You mentioned work as a goldsmith.
May inquire about what you're able to craft as such?

[ Texting is still new to her, sorry Emet. ]

Like you could even make decent weapons with gold or acid anyway.

[He's tense about Kitsuno, but he's MOSTLY certain they wouldn't do anything? Well, it wouldn't be the first time Nobunaga's felt the need to kill a god -- if it's the same guy. Who knows? There could be lots of anti-war types around. Maybe.]

[... Wow!!]

Emet-Selch-san...! I didn't think anyone would make a business centered around alchemy commissions...! Is goldsmithing something you usually do?

I've seen a few alchemy materials and supply shops but nothing like this. I've been working on making augmented gear for my classmates so I haven't thought of offering commissions for things.

I hope this goes well for you!

A goldsmith! Interesting!

If you dont mind my asking why do you prohibit your items to be used in warfare? Im not suggesting youre wrong but as a blacksmith my wares tend to find their way onto the battlefield

[ She's reading everything, and unamused. For all Emet-Selch represents to the people of her star as the Garlean Emperor- and as a paragon and Ascian, the man she knows here is one simply trying to get by, even when he doesn't want to. Her eyes narrow at the comments, but she decides to just focus on what's important right now. ]

Some people need to know when to leave things alone. It's as though no one respects any boundaries anymore.

Are you alright, Hades?

Congratulations on opening! I hope everything goes well.

[He doesn't immediately recognise the handle, but he really does hope so! There's a lot that goes into setting up a new business.]

If you don't mind me asking - what kind of things do you expect to commission? Just potions and metalwork?
What I read about alchemy magic made it sound almost limitless.
It's thoughtful of you to put your stance on weapons up front, knowing that.

Oh awesome, congrats!!

[She that last comment made her hesitate, though. Part of her wanted to ask if he objected to using them to fight monsters or carry out quests, another part of her wanted to ask what his issue was with using them for a war effort...

But in the end she left it at that. Perhaps- perhaps best not to get into a debate until the political situation calmed down. Besides, she had an act to keep up.]

[So, it looked like she wasn't the first to come up with the idea of making money from potion brewing- although her own ventures were taking time thanks to a lack of natural alchemy in this world.]

Alchemic commissions, hm? I'll have to come by and visit.

[ She's a little hesitant to ask the question - mostly because she knows how it might sound like an attempt to get around the rules - but in the end she can't help it. All the young girl can do is explain her intent. ]

Um. Does all violence count as warfare, or is warfare excluded to actions in favour of a country or group of people waging war?

I don't know if you meant the word literally, or if you meant it in a more figurative sense. I don't plan to end up fighting any wars any time soon, but sometimes I have to defend myself and others, and I think that learning the rules is very, very important with these sorts of things.

Congratulations on establishing your shop, though I must admit I had not thought you the type to be a jeweler. Not that the revelation is an unwelcome one by any means. I look forward to perusing your wares.
