Creation Magic And You (Not An Actual Shop Title)

[wewillwewill]

[The original video post.

Later after the video post expires or is lost in a line of other posts, there will be notices tacked in convenient places where crafters generally place their notices. For the record yes, it says much the same thing as the video did. Just without voice and pictures. Also yes, he could write an advert form. He decided not to.]

For those of you who do not know me, I am Elidibus.

After some consideration, I've decided to offer the use a portion of the creation magicks of my kind to those interested. The wall clocks Tidus has placed in several carriages of the train are an example of what I can do. Two of the original sizes and design were much smaller and simpler. I can break down what you provide into aether and reshape it. Or with some effort, adjust its size, color and shape.

Provided materials and an object of what you desire to have created, I can also make duplicates. Repairing that which is broken is also in the realm of possibility. The complexity of any request will determine what time and materials I'll need and whether I'm able to assist you.

Be warned, if the color or element you wish to incorporate is something foreign to me, I must have an example of it provided. I will not work on living beasts or people. And to create something from naught but aether I provide is something I will only do for the sake of emergencies.

For those of you who already provide your crafting skills to the passengers, I do not wish to replace the services you already provide. But I may be able to compliment your efforts with specific types of material or color needed for your work.

If anyone has questions, pray reach out to me and I will answer them within reason. If you have a request, you may contact me either in person or through messages. The payment for this work will vary depending on the request and what it's intended for. Barter in the form of favors, trade of services and the use of your points for goods are all acceptable.

There might be a moment's pause as Elidibus mulls over the answer Tidus gives. But he is quick to offer a gracious nod of his head. "Then I thank you for the gift." And it will be considered as such. No strings attached but more importantly, no machinations at play on Elidibus's own part. That makes it surprisingly... refreshing.

"I'll keep your offer in mind," the Ascian says politely and seems to mean it. Indeed right now he has nothing, but in the future he might.

"As for the clocks, I'll take them. Assuming you want the same as last time, I can have them back to you by the evening." As Tidus saw it didn't take long for the first clocks to be changed and that was including figuring out what to do. Right now it's just a matter of completing tasks he's already involved in.

"I've considered using my talent for more than just these clocks," Elidibus mentions during whatever exchange of items happens in the following moments. "The available aether to draw from while on the train is limited, but with materials to reduce and reform, it would be possible to make use of creation magicks to provide type of service."

Tidus gives the clocks over, though it does take a moment. Saying, "Gimme a sec", and then moving to the table they're beside, luckily free of much. With it, he makes a small suitcase appear, just a good enough size to hold the aforementioned clocks.

Wondering only for a second if to take them out, he gestures to the suitcase instead, for Elidibus to disappear. But he does listen as Elidibus speaks, humming by the end of it.

"Oh yeah? That sounds like it'd be fun! I wonder what people'd ask for..." Did people have many things they wanted to change? So is where Tidus's mind goes, with the clocks and all. But he does wonder, after a pause: "You need any materials to get you going? Ohh, say, I know."

He clicks his fingers.

"Could you make poles and curtains? Or mirrors? If you had the...metals and mirrors."

Look, he'll explain in a second.

[wewillwewill]

The clocks are tucked away. "So long as it is reasonable, I wouldn't mind what they asked," Elidibus replies mildly with just enough dryness to suggest he'd expect some unreasonable matters to reject.

Which brings a pause following Tidus' inspiration-motivation inquiry.

"...Yes." Those alone would be easy enough just to create on his own aether but he's not going to add that. "Why?" He's studying you, Tidus. Please do explain.

[blitzcheer]

Glad you asked, Elidibus!! (Psyche, Tidus was going to explain even if he didn't-!)

"A while ago, someone wanted to add curtains to the quiet cars. Or a few? But not a lot of us can, you know, make a pole or get them and do the whole work for it." Tidus gestures, rather meaninglessly, in indication of a curtain rail. Brings his hands down as he continues.

"And, uhh... my friend. He likes to dance, but he's shy? But he'd really like a dance studio. 'Cept, I don't know how likely we're gonna get one for a long time... but, maybe if I made an order with you, we could work something out? Like a... big foladable mirror. For the music room?" Hmm- "Can you make glass that isn't heavy and easy to break?"

He never thought about any of this until this second...!

[wewillwewill]

"Curtains? Surely there is someone besides the departed Spider who was able to make something so simple?" And he might have thoughts on the simplicity of ordering curtain rods that would fit the windows, but with the train's current system, there's merit in buying the materials to make several over each individual rod.

"No matter. They can be fashioned, though depending on the amount, I may ask for a favor in exchange. And it need not be just you who shoulders the burden." Elidibus gives Tidus a stern look as if it's clear from this conversation that the youth already seems to be taking on the lion's share of effort for the sake of others.

The mirror is probably another matter entirely. "I'm not certain why you would wish the mirror to be folded when it can be added to the music carriage," the Ascian points out. Who would mind it, really? "As to the durability, I believe it can be done." Whether with the creation itself or enchantment after.

But Elidibus doesn't miss the haphazard ideas being thrown out. "Perhaps you should think on the matter and find out precisely what you wish to have done. You can then present it to me when I return the clocks later this evening."

[blitzcheer]

Wow, telling Tidus to think first instead of just going right into it with half-baked soggy ideas? When Tidus was wondering if there was anyone around who could make curtains... when Spider was a, well, Spider, and made it all herself.

But it's plain to see how much Tidus is trying to think things as Elidibus brings up points - about what kind of mirror would be good (would a mirror set in the music carriage be better?), but also becoming sheepish from accusations of burdening.

Expressions that ease as Elidibus carries the braincells here, and suggest to give time for thought. Tidus nods in agreement.

"Alright! I'll ask my friend about the mirror too. Thanks - didn't mean to dump on you a bunch of work outta nowhere. I just started remembering stuff, and-"

He waves his hands close to his head, laughs, leaving it there. No need to repeat what just took place.

"I'll see you later."

Giving a cheery nod, if there's nothing else, now's the time to ollie on out!

[wewillwewill]

Nothing at this time!

"It's fine. I've grown oddly accustomed to your habits."

Look Tidus, that was almost a tease.

Elidibus will let the youth depart without further input. And when he seeks Tidus out later, the clocks will be prepared and match the rest already displayed on the train.

Though the Ascian will encourage Tidus to think more if he hasn't gotten a good idea.
