THE Forges General setting: Deep, deep down, near the very base of the Clan settlement is a staircase that leads even lower, made of iron instead of marble. It leads to a giant, cavernous opening underneath where all the weapons and metals are forged and restructured. The area seems very mildly occupied though, mostly by Clans members who are working away, though the noise is very loud, the consistent clink of metal against metal. OOC: EVENT ROLLS AND PROMPT MECHANICS: - When your student has arrived in this setting, you can CHOOSE to roll a 100-sided dice at any point in time. You can only do this twice per RP you make. Match your dice roll to the results below for a prompt/ small reaction that your student may discover. RP out results accordingly. 1-20: You notice all around you, just on the ground, lying there, pieces and pieces of untamed rare and precious stones and metals, just ripe for the taking. Its too bad a Clans member is watching you... 21 - 40: You see a few weapons lying around, swords, sparse amounts of armour, but most of the crafting seems to be centered around making ornate jewelry. All jewelry is interestingly enough, very organic shaped. 41 - 60: The few swords you see lying around seem to have been made ages ago, many of them dusted and unpolished. You do notice a very unique weapon though, a long black scythe, still glinting in the light as if just newly made. It reminds you of an Heir's weapon... (IF YOU HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED AISA, then the last clause is void). 61 - 80: You hear two clans members talking with each other, the conversation is not heated quite yet, but they seem to be at a dispute with something involving "only a week's time will tell" 81- 100: There is suddenly a loud ringing noise. All clans member suddenly stop what they are doing and kneel on the ground, in prayer. A few minutes later another chime, and they continue to work again. (see below for horsemen point prompt) - Horsemen point prompt! You also see something glint next to you, but is it just a trick of the light? Roll a 6-sided dice. If odd you obtain one horsemen point! You can only redeem a max of two from all prompt prps/orps your student is in per OOC 24 hours. You can redeem these here and here!

The forges normally, wouldn't gather the attention of Israfel but when it came to jewelry making? 180, the siren was most definitely interested. If it was fashion related he was going to ask questions. Or well, not so much in this case. Death horsemen liked quiet and it was more or less hard for the siren to be so. The forges and their distinct sound however, made him grin. While he might not ask questions he didn't think his 'loudness' would be an issue here.
Weapons and armor that were about didn't interest him so much as the bits of framework. The gems and their clasps and settings. They had a flow, some looking like water other life plants and vines and- Blue eyes went wide as he saw a belt, a green emerald set in the center, threads of sliver spreading from it. He didn't touch it, but rather simple watched it, blue eyes glowing slightly. "How do they make them all so pretty?" His words directed to no one in particular.

By contrast, Aurian wasn't head over heels for the jewellery itself (the class sounded fun, but Aurian's girly ways didn't really extend to accessories except for a silver ankle bracelet over one of her boots). But weapons? Oh yes, please. Aurian was so there.
It had been a relaxing morning for the young Reaper. Meditation, followed by a stint in the library. She and Mai had gone their seperate ways after lunch, and Aurian found herself escaping the icy 'upper' world for the lava-heated caves beneath. Wandering int the forges had been sheer chance, but Aurian was enjoying the opportunity to look around.
"How do they make them all so pretty?" a voice piped up.
Aurian peered around a display case see a pretty boil inspecting a collection of ornate jewelry. His blue hair and multiple sets of wings were kind of familiar. Maybe Aurian had seen him in the halls or shared a class with him before?
"I don't know," she answered. Of course he hadn't been talking to her, but there was no harm in being friendly, right? And it was always much more fun to explore with someone else, Aurian thought. "But they are lovely. I wonder if they ever sell them, or would make things for non-Clansmen."
A scythe made by the Clan ruled by Death, the most famous Reaper of them all? Aurian went misty-eyed at the mere thought.
But sadly there weren't that many weapons around right now, just the jewelry. Aurian would have to look around a bit more. She wanted to see some really awesome weapons!
"I'm Aurian," she held out a hand to the boil. "Do you want to have a look around together?"

The voice had him looking up and- "Oh hello!" Ear wings gave a small flap of excitement. She looked like someone he'd seen in passing but he couldn't place where. Much less when. Still she looked really pretty! (Israfel was running into a lot of pretty people as of late, but then his definition was rather wide).
"I dunno if they would sell but maybe trade? I think it would have be like... really special with them all about tradition and things. But oh jack wouldn't it be cool?"
Grabbing he hand he gave a light shake coupled with a rather enthusiastic squeeze. "Israfel and yes!" the clang of meta work rang out. Looking over he noticed several of the gems and things laying about and as he picked them up one clan member looked ready to cut him in half.
But the siren only set them buy other materials. "This place is a bit messier than the other parts here though. You could trip over some things!"

"Nice to meet you," Aurian beamed. "I love your hair!"
The boil's hair faded from blue into purple. Aurian couldn't help but love the gradation, having a similar effect - though hers went from a marine blue down to a bright jade.
"And your wings are really pretty, too." Aurian kind of wanted to pet them. Both sets. The ear wings were so cute, especially when Israfel flapped them like that. But the back wings looked so soft... Aurian eyed them, considering. Hmm, possibly not on a first meeting. That was like greeting new people with hugs - some people really didn't like it (Aurian didn't know what was wrong with them, but she had to respect peoples' obvious trauma, the poor things).
"I'll be careful not to trip." Aurian frowned as she spoke, making a note that she'd better not fall over after saying that. It seemed to be tempting fate a little. She'd do her best, though. She doubted that the Death Clansmen would be very happy about visitors causing a mess in their forge.
(And, oh, if she broke something. The cost of these items was surely staggering. How could Aurian ever hope to make amends? Kicked right out of the exchange program, no doubt. Possibly out of Amityville, too. Definitely had to be careful not to trip or knock anything over.)
A loud ringing noise interrupted Aurian's moment of panic. On the far edges of the forge, she saw the clanspeople drop to their knees in prayer. Aurian glanced at Israfel. "Should we...?"
Just in case, Aurian lowered herself to kneel. She didn't bother trying to mimic the rest of the actions the clanspeople were performing. It was just really obvious when you were the only person standing. And that was kind of embarrassing.
"Does this happen often?" she wondered, whispering quietly to Israfel. A few minutes later, another chime rang out. (No matter where she looked, Aurian couldn't see where these bells were hiding.) Everyone got back up and went back about their business. Aurian rose to her feet and dusted at her boots.
"They need mats," she told Israfel seriously.

Something glinted, back down where Aurian had knelt. Frowning, she bent back down to investigate. Her fingers closed over a small pebble-like object, with a red swirl on it.
"Huh, these again." Aurian stared at the small object. "Israfel, do you know what these are for?"
Maybe she could trade a certain number for a weapon or something. That would be so cool.

Hair was very important, and as Aurian complimented him, he preened, feathers fluffing out as he smiled. "Thank you! I try to take good care of them. Its very hard to keep them clean in some places but not very hard here. And you hair is very nice too! I like the colors." He chirped. As the bell rang out, Israfel followed suit as everyone dropped to his knee. Shaking his head to her question, he whispered back, "I don't think so? This is the first time I've heard it." As they raise back up and returned to work, the siren cocked his head to the side. "Mats? They have pretty rugs. I liked the ones in the halls. But why rugs here?" The small thing she showed got a shake of his head. "Nope! But I like them, because they are shiny. Like jewelry only not!"

Aurian grinned as she and Israfel engaged in some mutual hair (or feather) appreciation. "Thank you! Long hair tangles so easily, though. But feathers must have their own problems, too?" She had no idea how you went about caring for feathers, but considering that Israfel also had his back larger back wings, not just the small ones peeking out of his hair, it must take up a large amount of his free time. "To protect your knees!" Aurian pointed out. "If you had to keep dropping to the floor all the time, wouldn't you want cushioning of some kind? Not to mention, something warmer than stone to be kneeling on?" Israfel had a good point about the stones being like jewelry. "I don't feel any FEAR from them, but it's possible the Death Clan are making them for some strange purpose. Do you think I should ask Ylaria, if I see her again?"
