[downswing]

Before her second disappearance, Prassenze ravaged her compartment for a hidden box.

( 'How do you know this, Wangji?' 'Any details?' No. )

Separately, forge or jewellery master begged sought. A trinket for powders.

New arrivals, be welcome.

( ooc: CONTENT WARNING that he is looking to make tokens to hold hell demonic lizard creature ashes, if that creeps anyone out OOCly ;; )

Jewellery to contain things is easy enough. Did you have something in mind?

I wonder, was Prassenze searching for a box she contained dream tokens in?

[downswing]

Belt token.

[blackscales]

Any particular style of container? Is it something you need to access easily?

[ ... Given he... does not know what these powders... are...

Poison? Sleeping powder? Who knows! ]

[downswing]

A memento.

[blackscales]

[ A... memento?

He's assuming not drugs.

Powdered... what? ]

So something to stay sealed?

[ ??? ]

[downswing]

Gratefully. A personal value.

[blackscales]

[ A personal...

Powder? ]

How large a token?

[downswing]

As would befit belt portability. Slight.

[blackscales]

[ This is... not helping him figure out what it is Wangji is going for.

It sounds so much like drugs but surely not. Unless?? ]

Knowing the substance and occasion would allow me to suggest an appropriate container.

[downswing]

A metal case. Slim to half a finger's length.

[blackscales]

[ He's determined. ]

If you desire it to be formally sealed, I would like to know what I will be handling. Otherwise, I can make you something plain. Perhaps with a fastening you can secure yourself. But it will not be entirely sealed.

[ Anything that can be closed can usually be opened, intentionally or otherwise. Maybe that doesn't'... matter, however?

For Wangji and his mysterious powder? ]

[downswing]

Ashes.

[blackscales]

[ ??? Ashes??

Did he ceremonially burn something? Is that some kind of thing? Ritually freeing himself of something? ]

Of personal value?

[downswing]

Remains.

[blackscales]

[ The further he goes in this, the less he actually wants this answer, but you know what.

In the tradition of a quiz show, he's started so he'll finish. ]

Once living?

[downswing]

Once living.

[blackscales]

[ Right in front of his morning coffee.

Titans, well, he has 50 follow up questions but equally they may well be inappropriate. He has no idea! No way to find out! So let us just move on. ]

Then they will require appropriate care.

[downswing]

A slim belt container.

[blackscales]

As you wish it.

[downswing]

You have my gratitude.

Two more pieces. Paid.

[blackscales]

Two more?

[ In... addition to his container? He wants something else? ]

[downswing]

Two more. For two others. Perhaps pendant pieces.

[blackscales]

[ To... be clear... ]

For your powder?

[ We're giving two other people pendants with this... powder? ]

[downswing]

They will appreciate it.

[blackscales]

[ Wrathion still is not entirely sure what, exactly, these ashes are so you know what?

Maybe they will. ]

It can be done.
