Yawning, Zuruel glanced across the room towards a door on the right side of the area. Dressed in a white lab coat, he snickered while tinkering away on the left. The room seemed to be split in half. The left side - densely filled with benches and alchemy equipment. The right - far more open with anvils, furnaces and all manner of smithy tools. "Nice of you to join me on this most auspicious of days."

While waiting for the newcomer to speak, Zuruel pulled out a single Chimera's Fang fruit from a air tight container. Taking in a deep breath, he smiled at the unique odour. The fruit was still fresh. His own talents surprised him sometimes. Regardless, no sense in getting sentimental now - for it was time to work. Snickering, Zuruel grabbed a surgical scalpel and washed it under alcoholic fluid to ensure it was cleansed of foreign substances. Next, he pressed the blade lightly against the top tip of the fruit, before curving the blade downwards at a arcing angle.

Yoko had travelled to this far off land in search of the two adventurers she had encountered in the Land of Earth, namely the alchemist Zuruel and the bowyer Blight. Several months had passed and she wanted to see whether Blight had managed to gather the items that she had requested.

In terms of physical appearance, Yoko was a rather pint-sized adventurer, standing at a staggering small two foot eight inches. This made it quite difficult to spot her at the best of times, never mind in a crowded city. A problem that was only compounded by the fact that her body released light-refracting spores at a constant rate which made her body making her form appear hazy and indistinct.

Her attire consisted of a soft-shell jacket, a long-sleeved fleece shirt, waterproof leather boots, and soft-shell trousers fitted with a belt, which are all were fire resistant. Perhaps most striking of all was the mask that she wore, fashioned from the skull of a green hag, the mask was somewhat disconcerting to behold especially when combined with her glowing blue eyes. Yoko had previously stripped the outfit of anything that would denote her rank or position within the village, no rank, no headband, etc. On this particular occasion she had elected to use her MOLLE II assault pack to store some of her crafting equipment and tools: a chain of knowledge, her Loremaster Encyclopedia: Volume V, an All-Seeing Eye, a gem of Reflection, Cyclopean Ring, two gems of the Wise, two gems of Vitality, Doolittle Gem, a gem of Charming and sufficient Starmetal to make a single item.

Effect: Personal Ornaments, such as necklaces, rings, or bracelets, that are typically made from or contain jewels and precious metal.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: The price of jewelry varies wildly by its quality. Many cultures, particularly nomads, consciously use jewelry as a form of portable wealth, most notably with belts and bangles made from coins. A commoner's ornaments may only be worth a few gold pieces, an artisan's a few gold pieces, and a merchant's a few platinum pieces, while nobles rarely wear jewelry worth less than 78,000 Ryo. Starter Jewelry cost 1 Precious Metal Piece of material. For example a simple gold ring will cost material equal to 780 Ryo (or 1 Gold Piece). A simple gold ring will cost material equal to 78 Ryo (or 1 Silver Piece). Same math can be applied to other Jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and etc. Crowns base cost however are 100 Precious Metal Pieces of material, or 78,000 Ryo for a simple gold crown (100 Gold Pieces).

Yoko had a total of fifteen items to forge, an assorted collection of nine rings, three headbands, and three neck pieces. To achieve this task she had come to the village's forge, and intended to take full advantage of both the lava and normal smiths that were located there to mould the metal that she had selected into the desired shape and size. First up was the set of headbands, the term headband loosely referred to anything the wearer wore upon their forehead. In this case, Yoko planned to set a generous amount of gold into an interweaving pattern. So one of the first steps in the process was measuring out the exact amount of gold that she wanted to use, in this situation she elected to use seven pieces of gold, an amount capable of creating eight rings under normal circumstances. She repeated this for both headbands, requiring a total of fourteen pieces in total.

“That mask…” Zuruel thought to himself as the oddly short figure entered through the doorway. At first, the Kedoin assumed the door had opened by itself. However, his keen vision caught sight of the upper half of the familiar mask upon taking a closer look. “Heh… To find you in Mo of all places. What brings you to my humble home?” He carefully observed the Mizukage working whilst also concentrating on his own craft. A single mistake would mean having to do everything all over again…

---

Zuruel wasn’t simply cutting the fruit into pieces. His blade traced the void between where the flesh of the fruit joined with the skin. Rather than forcibly separating the two with his sharp instrument, he simply glided his tool along the flesh and allowed the natural curvature of the fruit to dictate his movements for him. Before long, the entire fruit would be deskinned, and the resulting tough outer layer would be peeled away in a spiral-like structure. What remained now was the delicate and soft flesh of the Chimera’s Fang.

[Cadoc]

Ah! It seemed that Yoko was in luck: she had encountered one of the two people she was after almost immediately. “Greetings, I've come seeking you and Blight as a matter of fact. I would like to know whether he had any success finding the rituals that I requested. I've gone out and acquired them myself as I've had no word from him” Hardly a warm welcome but still, the youth wanted to get to the point, and while she was here it made sense to make use of the forging facilities.

Yoko took out her own skull mask and marked up the piece with the rough sketch of what she wanted to create. A semi-circle at the top of the skull around where the hairline would be, with a second line beneath it, only rather than curve at the forehead the lines intersected each other ending with a spiked edge. The end would be two bisecting lines that had three points on them all of which were flat and equally sized. With that in mind, she took a cast of the design she wanted and fired up her metal till it reached a workable temperature. And began to forge it into the desired shape. Adding an all-seeing eye gem to her own version and a Doolittle gem into that of her companion's.

Reference for the end result: the headband at the top of the mask.

“Blight… Now there’s a name I haven’t heard in a while.” Zuruel tapped his chin. He seemed more curious than worried. “Probably dead. Come to think of it… He hasn’t come back since you had that request for him. You guys didn’t ambush him, did you?” The Kedoin squinted. However, seconds later, burst out laughing to show that he was only joking. “No way you guys would have gone through that much effort to kill him. But no, he’s most likely almost certainly rotting somewhere. I haven’t seen him in… Months? Weeks? How long has it been…”

---

Zuruel began by tossing the skin he had peeled into a glass container. He then filled it around three-quarters to the top with water, which he then placed over a lit bunsen burner. He only really needed about half a cup worth of water, however, by the time the liquid began boiling and the entire creation was complete, half the amount would boil away. This now left the fruit, which he began chopping into fine cubes with a freshly cleaned scalpel. This immediately made the item ooze out juice, which he took care in not loosing.

[Flower]

Cadoc: Crafted!

[Cadoc]

Yoko carefully observed Zuruel as he mulled over her question. His rather bleak response came as somewhat of a surprise, to think of his companion as dead? Hardly a testament to his skill. Either way, it was of little matter as his services could be replaced at a later date by another more skilled crafter. “Hmm, well that is a shame if it is true. I personally haven't killed him, wouldn't make sense to he was of use to me.” Yoko also spoke with a frankness that expressed how she felt about the matter, she could not say that another ninja had killed the man but she knew that she hadn't personally nor had she ordered it.

The gold itself was rather easy to use. Yoko had elected to use seven times the amount of gold that she would have normally used in a ring. She had worked this out by comparing the weight of tiaras to that of rings and then scaling the amount that she needed. The idea that Yoko had in her mind was to distress the gold so that it was not as bright as a newly created item. Instead, once she had forged it she would elect to buff it in a specialised weight that took the shine out of it.

“There was nothing unique about Blight.” Zuruel’s words were cold, but not harsh. They seemed to come from a highly logical mindset that put aside emotion. “Any reason he was of worth to you, so could any other Chakra capable individual with a working pair of legs. Naturally, that means you aren’t fully proven innocent quite yet.” The Kedoin snickered after a moment’s pause to once again suggest that he was joking about the accusations. A rather bleak fact considering the realisation that his ally may truly be dead.

---

Carefully, Zuruel slid the sliced chunks of Chimera’s Fang into a sterile glass cup. Picking up his chopping board, he tilted it so that the stray amounts of juice also naturally dripped into the cup. No sense in wasting potentially life saving energy. Once done, Zuruel returned his focus onto the beaker that was now boiling. The water with floating bits of skin had now changed to a slightly orange tint – which suggested the molecules of the fruit’s skin had indeed broken down and leaked into the water. A few more moments, and that process would be complete.

[Cadoc]

“You say that there was nothing special about him as if that was a bad thing. Have you not considered that I liked him because of that trait?” Yoko posed the question to see how Zuruel responded, could it be that the fact that Blight lacked any overwhelming power or unique skill set meant that he was more willing to undertake the tasks that Yoko commissioned him? The fact that he wasn't in high demand worked well for her in terms of driving his cost of labour down.

Once the material was out of the forge she made her final adjustments ensuring that it did not obscure the space left for the third eye on the skull masks before progressing onwards hammering away at the material to get it into the desired shape. The task was somewhat difficult, but after some time had passed she had been able to work it into the desired pattern. At this stage Yoko could make her final adjustments to the piece, readying the neck and headband for use by Barbas.

“Not at all – that’s why I enjoyed his company too. I was merely suggesting the fact that him being overly mundane doesn’t lend well to the theory that you didn’t order his assassination. Whether you truly liked him or found him useful, you still had equal reasons to kill him. I’ve killed plenty that I was rather fond of.” Zuruel stopped snickering. Instead, he simply gave a playful smirk as he focused on his Alchemy. The Kedoin’s accusations were clearly wild. However, there he was, crafting and minding his own ‘business’ while he allowed the Mizukage to continue with her own work. Clearly, he meant no trouble considering the fact that he hadn’t attacked or truly interrogated her yet… Or did he?

---

Zuruel’s solution bubbled violently and with that, grew a brighter shade of orange with each passing second. With each string of bubbling striking against the skin of the fruit, the more its cells broke down and released precious nutrients. After a few more moments, Zuruel concluded it was ready and removed it from the Bunsen burner. He then poured the solution through a giant net, which allowed the water to pass through, but kept thick pieces of fruity ‘bits’ contained in the net. The water seemed to be what the Kedoin was interested in most.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Cadoc done.

[Cadoc]

Certain an interesting line of thought, that just because he served a purpose and she 'liked' him she wouldn't have killed him or had him killed by others, what a cut throat world the villager's of Mo lived in. “Well, I guess there was nothing stopping me from killing him rather than paying him for those rituals. It doesn't seem like you think he could put up much of a fight, so even someone as unskilled as I could have seen him off.” Contrary to what she had said, Yoko was quite the skilled combatant, she was however quite aware that her small body and seemingly harmless nature had tricked many a man into believing that she was not much of a fighter.

With the first set of headbands out of the way, it was time to work on the next set of items on the list. This time a headband and necklace for Barbas, Yoko's Kirin companion. Unlike the prior works that had been identified in all but every way, this pairing would share a different design, namely because of the form Barbas took that being either as an item on Yoko's person or as a hoofed quadruped. As such, certain changes needed to be made to the pattern to allow for the different proportions of the mighty creature.

Zuruel scratched his chin and chuckled. “Now there’s a better defence. If he was weak enough to be killed by anyone – then anyone could have killed him.” However, something seemed off. Raising an eyebrow, the Kedoin put down his tools for a moment to focus on the Mizukage. “As unskilled as you? You don’t appear to be much of a fighter… But in a world such as this filled with Chakra and magics, I am certain there’s more to you than meets the eye. We should spar one day to test that theory.” He licked his lips at the thought.

---

Tossing the net and filtered bits of fruit flesh away, Zuruel was left with a now lukewarm container of orange fluid. The first thing he did was add this juice with the mixture of freshly chopped up fruit. Grabbing a crusher, he added the mixture into a stone bowl before crushing down on the resulting mess to create a taste of paste. This was possible thanks to circular movements, which had had since learned resulted in a more even crushing.

[Cadoc]

Now while that had not been her point, it was certainly an interesting one, in theory, anyone could have killed Blight. “Alas, I'm not one for the chakra arts, I lack the knack for it I guess. So I don't think a spar against someone of your level would be that good of an idea.” The statement was, of course, the truth, just a purposeful mistaken of that truth: while it was true that Yoko had no real skill with ninjutsu or genjutsu, the same did not hold true for taijutsu which was her specialisation.

The aim was to produce two functional pieces that could be worn regardless of form, which of course was no easy matter to create. Yoko had to spend a considerable amount of time coming up with ideas of how to forge the two pieces, but it was not an impossible task. And after an hour or so she had managed to hash out a design that she liked, the design involved setting a gem into the headband and moving some of the metalwork around it to make a sleek design.

[Skulking Shinzu]

“Really? That’s… Disappointing.” Zuruel had no reason to doubt the Mizukage. Still, was she really not a fighter? He had yet to meet anyone that couldn’t utilise Chakra in some way. Even if not, poisons and explosives were a thing. Even seals. “Come to think of it… It was a ritual or two you wanted from Blight, correct? Seals and rituals can make for an interest form of combat. I get the feeling you can hold your own better than you are making out.” The Kedoin snickered. He was the perfect example of someone who utilised numerous seals when in battle.

---

With the paste complete, Zuruel added an extra cup of water to the mixture to dilute it slightly. With that complete, he could now move onto the next stage in the process. Pouring the entire mixture into a glass jug, Zuruel once again placed the entire item under a Bunsen burner with a flame set to maximum output. It wasn’t long before the mixture began bubbling, at which point Zuruel sealed the lid to ensure nothing would escape in the form of gas or steam.

“I'm really more of the administrative type. Its hard-work holding my position, a lot of meetings and the like, which I'm sure your Dutchess can attest to. At a push, I could engage in combat, sure. I don't dispute that, but it doesn't mean that I'm skilled in it. Anyone can toss a flask after all.” She paused listening to what Zuruel had to say about rituals before replying with her response, “The rituals I was after were non-combative in nature, in fact, it was a few blueprints and two creation rituals to enhance items.” In terms of offence, such items were ineffective—by themselves. “So last we spoke there was talk of diplomacy between our two villages.”

With everything else out of the way, it was time for Yoko to craft the only thing left on her list, the series of rings that she needed to create. The idea is to create five rings in total for herself, and a further four for her companion. She opened up her inventory and rummaged through her belongings in search of a range of gems that were suitable for the creation of a ring. The general idea is that each of her rings at least should contain a rare gem that augmented the piece even further.

“Administration… Just the word makes me feel sick.” Zuruel pulled an awkward face. He almost pitied the Mizukage. He loved freedom and fighting far too much to give all that up for paperwork. “What would you do, if you weren’t tied down by your village? The world is vast and mysterious. Don’t you ever feel like you’re missing out on that?” Zuruel chuckled as the conversation topic shifted. It appeared he couldn’t tease the short creature anymore. “Ah yes – Blight was supposed to handle that. Well, as much as I dislike politics, the Duchess commanded that I assist with making as many allies within the Five Great Nations as possible. Would picking up where Blight left off help mend that broken bridge?”

Zuruel glanced at his jar of boiling fluid bubbling away. The steam escaping from the liquid had a slightly orange tint to it too – which after some time, began to cause the entire jar to fill with a light orange mist. Nodding to himself, he turned off the flames and allowed the solution to cool. As the temperature inside dropped, the steam would begin to collect as droplets of liquid which would fall back down inside. He’d have to wait for this to occur before being able to open the jar to prevent any moisture from escaping.

It has been resolved that the posts above will be reduced as they do not qualify for the x2. I will adjust the figures as I go or at a later date.

What would she do if she didn't have to fulfil her duties as Mizukage? A rather difficult question. “Difficult to say really, we all have our roles to play in the village, mine just happens to be administration.” It seemed that Yoko was not the only one who had to undertake tasks that she did not necessarily enjoy, Zuruel had also been tasked with establishing diplomatic relations between villages. “I wouldn't say that it was a broken bridge per se and as I have already purchased the list of items there would be no sense in you going out for them again. I guess if there was something I wanted it would be a displacer beast. But would you be able to capture one?”

1,554 /2,045 Ring of the wise
1,554 /2,045 Ring of the wise

After a few minutes of searching the youth came across a range of gems, a gem of reflection, a gem of Vitality, a gem of the wise, a gem of Charming, and finally the Cyclopean ring that she had created earlier. Yoko decided to start with the gems in that exact order, setting the rest aside so that she could clear her workstation. The first task was of course to measure her fingers, namely the ones that each ring would sit upon. Yoko did this in a way that would not impact on the use of her fingers in any way shape or form in the coming battles and activities.

Creating the following items in this thread:

Headband of animal speech
Size: Small
Rank: "S"
Type: Secondary, 50 per Slot, Fancy, Jewelry, headband slot
Effect: Ornamental jewellery created from a precious metal (Gold), contains Doolittle Gem.
Special: Perfected headband, gives the wearer the ability to speak to animals.
Drawback: ---
Description: The headband consists of a semi-circle of metal across the forehead, with another a set of bisecting straight lines beneath it that point towards the wearer's eyes. The lines taper down to a fine point that is mirrored by two triangular pieces of gold that come off the line at a ninety-degree angle, giving the appearance of three small spikes: Reference picture. The headband has been purposely designed to fit into Yoko's pipefox's green hag mask: slotting into the forehead section of the mask for added decoration, however, it can be worn without the mask as well. Like the mask itself, the headband does not obscure her third eye. Upon creation Yoko purposely took measures to attempt to hide the reflective nature of the metal, as such, the surface is somewhat dull, and does not catch a shine in the sunlight. The headband itself contains a Doolittle Gem, a freshwater pearl carved into the shape of a mouth that can be removed with great difficulty. This allows the wear to communicate with animals with both parties being understood. This piece is identical to the one created for Yoko.

Yoko has no recollection of why she created the cover in this way but does enjoy the rather disconcerting appearance that it has given the final piece. The piece was specially designed with its user in mind, and as a result is a perfect fit Yoko and is identical to the one created for her pipefox.
