Thats only because you just met me. Trust me theres a reason Im a corsair and thats because I hate following orders

Thats actually the point of our crew. We want to help people regardless of faction

Oh hey! Thats a great idea! A charm! Actually you ever heard of scrimshaw? Its the art of carving whale bone. You can make some really beautiful charms like that!

Listen the only rules that matter are the ones you stick to. Your principles. Any other rule made my anyone else is just there to keep the bad guys from doing bad things. If youre good, who cares if you bend the rules a bit, right??

Whale bones! Theyre bleached and kinda look like ivory? They used to sell for a ton back on my world. I bet we could find some really awesome bones to work with here!
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

You got it! Id be happy to help!

What sort of things does she like? Whats something thats special to the both of you? Maybe start there?
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

[Okay, Darin doesn't want to discourage Beat. This is probably a good idea and he wants to be supportive. So he needs to ask the important questions without being rude or condescending.]

What in the hells is that

[Nailed it.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (That's amazing!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2025-02-11 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
WHOA WAIT OKAY Thats perfect! Whatever that thing is we gotta make that!

Keepsakes like that are best! Hell Ive got one of my own from when I shared my first kiss with my friend


[There is a lengthy amount of time before this response comes through. Why? Because Darin has no idea what to call Zelda. They're living together but are they dating? Per se? Would she be his girlfriend? That seemed too small for what they were but gods did he like the sound of it.]

[He settles on 'friend' but that probably makes things very confusing.]
forgeabettertomorrow: (GHK!)

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2025-02-11 07:18 am (UTC)(link)
NO! No its just that I dunno what to call what we are! We were friends and now were living together and we kissed! I dont do that with just anyone!

Its really complicated and I dont wanna go around telling people were something that were not!

Man if I’m being honest Id love to figure out what we are to each other but

Its complicated.

We arent from the same world and I know she wants to go back to hers one day. Shes got a life there. And me? I dont really know what I wanna do.

Im happy here. Back home I didnt have the best life.

Either way im sure we will. Im happy I get to spend whatever time I have with her.


[Darin doesn’t take it as teasing at all. Somehow, he can tell Beat is a really nice guy. Which is probably why it’s so easy to share as much as he is.]

But this isnt about me and my friend! Im here to help you fix things with your girlfriend!

[personal profile] forgeabettertomorrow 2025-02-11 08:11 am (UTC)(link)
same here. Swing by the Starmetal Forge on Eltrut whenever youre ready to go looking for whale bone. If im not there and a woman with short, blond hair is, that’s Zelda. Just let her know youre looking for me.
forgeabettertomorrow: (eyyyyyy this guuuuuy)

Dont worry were gonna make the perfect charm!

[Working at the forge proper is tall, broad man. He's 6'3" with spiky, deep blue hair, and incredibly muscular. He stands at the anvil, pounding away as sparks fly and he's not even wearing an apron which...well, he probably should. He's only wearing a thin, sleeveless black shirt that hugs his frame. Protective gear? Not for Darin. In this forge, burning your eyebrows off is a rite of passage. Mostly because he can grow them back faster than most thanks to his superhuman body.]

[When he hears his name, Darin looks up. He sets what he's working on aside and walks over.]


Yo! I'm Darin! And...lemme guess. You Beat?

[Darin can't remember many people he told to meet him specifically at the forge, but somehow the 'yo' seemed to fit the typing style of their messages.]

Nice timing! I was just finishing up what I was working on!

[Darin laughs and baps his fist against Beat's with a confident grin.]

Boy, am I ever! You came at the right time, I actually thought of a really great place to get some bones!

You been to Nogard? The island with the dragon skeleton? I bet we can find something really good there!
forgeabettertomorrow: (Just Say Run Goes WIth Everything?)

NO WORRIES my life has been crazy too

Not unless you want to see if we can get a dragon's tooth or something. The gift's for your significant other so what do you think? What would they like more? Whale bone or dragon bone?
