Myriad Reality

I did early on, when I was worried about self defense and was unsure if I’d find anyone unfriendly.

@Magnanimity

We can look if you want. Call it a sword from a faraway land.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don’t know. Maybe.
*Flips it over and looks at the other side*
I suppose we could look through an armory to see if there are any bladed weapons already lying around, but I stopped looking for those months ago. Not sure if this one even has an armory intact.

@Magnanimity

Have you found any at all?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

For now. Don’t want to lug too much back. If it ends up being super valuable after appraisal, I don’t want to flood the market immediately and run someone dry.

@Magnanimity

Will they even be able to forge it?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I think it would probably sell for enough for me to buy some real clothes. If it comes up short, it’s not like there’s a shortage.

@Magnanimity

Is that all you're going to get?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Or the tools. I don’t remember you showing me a smithy in the castle or anything like that.

@Magnanimity

The boss has a workshop, but I'm not much of a handyman, so I never go in there. If you think it'll sell for a lot, we should take it to the big city, and one of their smiths will probably buy it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don’t think I have the skillset to actually make something of this.

@Magnanimity

That's too bad. You'd probably earn more.

*Knocks on it with one hand while I hold it with the other*
It’s fine. This should work. I imagine whatever alloys these ships are made of are so hard that it would impress townsfolk of a vaguely medieval-to-Victorian era society. Might go for a pretty penny, and they could melt it down and make Excalibur.

@Magnanimity

I think that a legendary fishing pole would make for a great story. Maybe you should try to sell it as that.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

They never came for any of it. Never saw signs of someone even scouting the place out, much less anything to the scale of whatever an official salvaging operation would look like to sufficiently put a dent in all of the stuff here.
*Walks up to a bent piece of the hull on the edge of the damage. I glance it over, then put both hands on it and pull really hard until a jagged piece about as big as my torso snaps off*

@Magnanimity

If you get hurt on the first day of the job, it won't be the greatest first impression.
*Picks up a piece of scrap and turns it over in my hand*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

The legality of it never crossed my mind. I’ve already functionally looted up months worth of food out of these wreckages, and this armor. If it’s illegal, I’m already well beyond being worried about that.

@Magnanimity

Maybe they'll be sympathetic in this case.
*Kneels down and runs my finger across a piece of broken, rusted metal*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

To my understanding, one of the largest single collectives in all of reality used a lot of their manpower to mount this war effort. They didn’t provide the majority of the strongest people, but they provided numbers like no one else really could.
*Looks down and drops a few feet onto the earth below, and steps out into the sunlight*

@Magnanimity

*Sits on the edge and slides off to minimize the fall, watching closely for stray pieces of metal*
Is it legal to hunt for scraps here?
