True enough.

I take a little piece of scrap. I'll see if I can fire it with a heat vasic later.

In your hand? how?


He's fed for his work, and then he has to go back to find a spot to sleep.



He senses magic being used... its the air magic that people like Taqib use. probably just on the other side of the block.

Well:

1) I take a scrap of clay, and don't even bother being stealthy. If they get upset by that I'll drop the matter.

2) I sculpt the clay into some shape (maybe just simply an imprint of the tip of my finger)

3) I draw a heat Vasic on one hand and then place the piece of clay on top of that hand.

I know very little about clay, apart from when I was in elementary school where I assume they used an oven to harden the clay. Julian may know even less. This might not be the same kind of clay, and I don't think it's going to work. Julian's mostly trying to gauge how hot the heat Vasic gets.

I wander over and take a look. Maybe there will be a warrior taking off. That could be a neat picture.

The clay gets hot and quickly starts to burn Julian's hand.

Its Taqib. Julian is too slow to see what he used magic for, but he still has his cart.

OCC: I'm getting into sculpting, but I work with polymer clay, which is VERY different. One of the marvels of modern material science, really. I also watched a youtube channel called "how to make Everything" that like to do things the very old fashioned way... pottery kilns get super hot.

I realize what's happening and try to toss it quickly.

Well, nothing good will follow from this. I round the corner again and leave.

Sounds about right. Glass and porcelain followed from work in pottery if I recall, and those are very hot.

Julian throws aside the clay. when he checks it after it has had time to cool down, its still hot. His hand will give off heat for the full period of time, and he has to watch where he puts it.

He sleeps well that night, and the check in goes without a hitch: his contact waves him away.

He doesn't feel sore the next day at work, and has plenty of energy left. The boys at the pottery shop either aren't as adventurous or just aren't friends with each other specifically: They each seem to go home after work.

I go looking for the people I hung out with after work at the blacksmith. There's no reason we couldn't still hang out.

You find them, and they're good to have fun tonight. Julian is, for some reason, oddly endearing (which is to say he has +3 to reactions ordinarily and +6 when he's in trouble)

tonight they climb on one of the boy's roofs and try to spit on the wall of the house across the street.


The Smith's apprentice urges Julian to come back to the forge. There is just so much work.

This is probably a good thing, given how quick he is to antagonize people.

I hear the smith's apprentice out while spitting. "OK, I'll come *ptoo* back, but I won't *ptoo* be sorry."

And then the next day I go back to the blacksmith's and not be sorry.

[ericthered]

"Just leave customers alone" he reassured.

That night Julian dreams of two riders out in the desert, following behind the flying ship.

In the morning he goes to the smith. He's told firmly "Don't talk to the customers!" and "We need you! get to work! take an extra chunk of bread!"

"Sounds fair."

I suppose I'm waved off at the post again.

"Fine, won't talk."

And it's back to the grind stone.
