[ After the partying is done, but before our merry band catches their ship out of town, here comes a message to the group.

Jens hasn't been...shy, or anything. He's also not been social, exactly - just kind of been there in the background, working at what he's good at and completely forgetting that proper introductions are a thing in most polite societies. Maybe you noticed him around, or maybe not - in which case: eighteen or nineteen, dark hair in a messy ponytail, usually a little bit dirty in the way that implies hard work more than lack of care. Nice to meet you all. ]

Hello, I could use some - er, let me back up a bit. I'm Jens, for those of you I haven't talked to. I'm a blacksmith, and I've just been given permission to, should I say, requisition whatever I might need from one of the forges here.

[ Deep breath. He's trying to be slow and coherent! But he is nonetheless over the moon about this. ]

I haven't been here as long as - well, most of this group, so I hadn't really gotten much chance to get myself set up to work here. So this is a great chance for me to make myself useful to all of you!

As long as, you know, I can...get it all carried out of here.

If anyone has a hand to spare, I'll gladly pay you back in repair work, making something, or buying you drinks somewhere down the line, as you prefer. We'll figure something out.

[ It's his strange foreign son! In need of help! Which Toshi would normally be more than happy to provide. However, he's feeling slightly, just slightly... under the weather. ]

How much help do you need? [ Does Toshi's voice sound a little breathless, a little strained? Don't worry about it. He also has no idea how much equipment is required for a forge, so. ]

I can't come right now, but I can find you someone.

[ That someone is Okita Souji, however. Toshi will try to tell him to be on his best behavior. ]

[Do you see this extremely pretty and well-forged face? It's practically glowing, Jens.]

I can help! I'm really strong!

[There is a pause, and:]

You've been given permission to requisition whatever you might need from a forge? I hope you don't get carried away...

My new friend, why didn't you just give me a ring? ...Or are you still not use to the whole mobile communication device and the wonders of technology? Was it the username that threw you off?

[ As he understands it, some worlds are still communicating by bird. What a tragedy indeed. ]

Anyway, how may I help you?

I'm not going to be of much help when it comes to transporting equipment, but if you find anything of interest, I'd be interested in taking a look.
