Is this still open?
Heads up. I have to work today so I'll be pretty quiet. Maybe, I'll be able to post before the day's end, but no promises.
Lemmy sighed. It was a lot more believable than his throat clearing. "Alrighty then. Se we're good now." He reached up and took the girl's hand and shook it gingerly. "As long as I'm not forgotten, and nobody gets me confused for being this guy's." He pointed at Jynmi. "Magical work of art, I'm good." Jynmi took Sophia's hand when it was offered to him, and mouthed the words an apology. "Some tea sounds great." Lemmy agreed, and he said as much. Then he said how much he'd like to taste tea since so much of of their money was spent on buying it. Jynmi ignored him and turned to the guild hall and gave an impressed whistle. "It came out nice. I was kind of starting to worry because of how long construction's been going on. It looks good, at least on the outside."

"Alright already." Lemmy snapped. "We've gotten to know each other, and everyone is everyone else's best friend. Can we go inside already. If I stay out here any longer my wood is going to bleach or I'm going to catch on fire. Its bright today so I'm assuming its hot. Let's get inside before I catch fire or something so we can get this show on the road. The sooner we get a job, the sooner we finish, and the sooner I can get back to practice! God, I need my practice."

Jynmi turned nervously to the others and apologized, again. "He hasn't gotten any sleep, ever. I guess its a curse of, his, uhm, circumstances." Lemmy didn't bother waiting, or looking back as he headed inside. "Stop being all cryptic about my life story, and come on!" He disappeared into the door.

"Oh." The young man's already white face somehow, despite the laws of physics, turned even paler. "We better follow him." Jynmi said, hurrying after the doll. "I don't trust him alone." There was the sound of destruction from inside, and Jynmi wasted no time, waiting for the others, hurrying after his partner to stop him from destroying their new home away from home.

The guild hall was even nicer inside than outside. It looked bigger, and was spotless. Jynmi didn't pay all of the surprised granduer more than a moment's notice. He was too preoccupied with finding Lemmy and then yelling at him for whatever he just did. "What did you do?!" He snapped. "Please tell me it wasn't something expensive. We don't have very much money as it is, and I don't want to have to take another carpentry or blacksmiths job on the side, again." The doll only shrugged that "It wasn't me" type shrug that only little ones that keep getting into trouble and are just as surprised to find there was something wrong and they weren't the source of it, and pointed at a woman at the bar.

"Whose that?" Jynmi asked, feeling like an idiot for needing to ask. He couldn't tell why, but he got the feeling he should know her.

"OH god. Why do you waste time like that?" Lemmy asked, pinching his nose which wasn't there. "You know what's going to happen." He didn't wait for a reply and hurried up to the woman. "Excuse me, ma'am, miss, lady. Uh, what do I call you? Er never mind, your older than me so I'll just call you ma'am. We're guild members here." He pointed at Jynmi, who wasn't fast enough to hide, and so only stood paralyzed with shock. "And we were wondering, well him mostly, who you are. So, who are you?"
Oooh. I kind of want money collector!
There was a bad grunting sound that was the end result of Lemmy's attempt to draw attention to himself by clearing his throat. This was all for show of course, which was traditional for throat clearing, because Lemmy didn't have a throat. He didn't have anything that could even pass, anatomically speaking, as a throat. He had a head, and that was connected to a body. Eir go, no throat. "Excuse me." He said, stepping forwards, into the make shift group, and raised his hand. "I know its only natural for everyone here to think I don't warrant a hello, but I do. I'm not a toy, or some kind of maker magic creation. I'm a sentient being with a conscious. As for you." He pointed at Sophia. "Why didn't you burn the papers. Now we're going to have a job, and I've got practicing to do because of it."

Jynmi slapped Lemmy on the back of the hand. "Oh shut up. Be nice, and help her with the pages I'm sorry about that." He took the papers and held them carefully so that the wind wouldn't cause a repeat mess. Lemmy glared, or tried to. Its difficult to do a good glare when your eyes were only marker drawings. He did that for a moment before squatting down, though he didn't have to squat much, to help Sophia pick up papers. "I think your right. We haven't met. Yes, I'm Jynmi, and this is Lemmy. I know you might not believe him, but he's actually telling the truth about himself. So, it might help to protect some feelings if you didn't address him as a doll." Unsure of what else to do, he squatted down and started picking up fliers too. "Anyways. It's nice to meet you Sophia. "

Jynmi's eyebrow arched as he noticed the new girl introducing herself. "Hello there Mex." he said, putting a flier on his stack, and then reaching up to shake her hand. "It's nice to meet you. This is Lemmy." He pointed at the doll who pretended not to notice. IT was the one time, not being able to show expressions was a blessing. Well, it was the one other time, the other time were in moments were he needed to bluff. He was an excellent card player. "Uh. Let's call him my friend, because that simplifies things, a lot. "
"I still don't see what we're doing up and about this early." Lemmy complained, rubbing the metaphorical sleep from his painted on eyes. "I know, and it's weird." Jynmi replied, pulling open the door and motioning for him to hurry up and get out. "I've only gone over why a thousand times in the last fifteen minutes, and twice that amount last night." The doll shook his head as he stepped outside, and leaned against the wall as he waited for the young man to lock up. "Don't be such a drama queen. Nobody has repeated anything that many times, ever." To that the doll didn't get a response, unless one counted the checking to see if the door was locked as a response. "Well?" Lemmy asked. The human tilted his head in the direction of the guild, and started walking, and with a sigh, Lemmy fallowed. He wasn't close behind, because he was half his human counterpart's height, which would've put his face at butt level, but close enough so there wasn't any chance of the two becoming separated in in the thick morning crowds.

"Do you think there's going to be any jobs today?" Lemmy had gotten tired of walking behind the young man, and hurried up so he could walk next to him. "I mean, really, do you really think there's going to be any jobs for us. Think about it, just for a second. We go through all of this, and then get there, and find out there's nothing for us to do. What then? Look at all we've sacrificed, and that'll be for nothing. Oh the horror! Can you imagine it! It's still not too late, you know. We can still stop, and go back, to bed even. Doesn't that nice, bed? I could go for some sleep." The doll bobbed its body at a failed attempt at making its head look like it was nodding. "Right?"

Jynmi shook his head. "We got up before noon, and had to walk a few blocks. I wouldn't exactly call that a grand sacrifice on our part. Besides, you don't sleep. You just sort of fall limp, and try your best to look like a harmless antique."

"I don't sleep yet." The doll corrected. "But maybe I will, someday. You never know. All we have to do is keep trying, and who knows. I'll be asleep before you know. I just need to practice. Well, I need to practice, and some opportunities to do so. That's right, feel guilt, your taking away a chance at sleep, practicing for it at least." The doll pointed an accusing finger at Jynmi, but he ignored it as the turned a corner, and hurried towards where the guild was being constructed, and a man with fliers was talking to someone he thought he recognized.

"Hey!" Jynmi called, cupping his hands around his mouth so they would act like a microphone. "Please tell me there's something left." He smiled as he hurried over to the two. One was a man, and he didn't think he knew him, and the other was a girl. He was fairly certain he knew her, or should know her. Of course, he wouldn't ask if that was the case just yet. Maybe he'd get lucky and she'd introduce herself, or Lemmy would know, and use her name. He stopped by them, and did his best to keep the fact he was mildly out of breath hidden by talking slowly and refusing to let himself rest on his knees. "Hey. Hi. Hello. So are there any jobs left? There looks to be a lot of fliers."

"No!" Lemmy called, hurrying behind him. "Tell him there's no jobs! Do it! Unless you feel guilty about lying, which is understandable and even commendable. but if that's the case than quickly, someone burn them."

Marc: makes sense, many magical swords you can just buy can do that, though umm. A ice make shield is physical not magical. But you could break through magical ones, like invisible walls or energy barriers which are common. malmshodes: Hmm. Well it would not be just copper, it would have Lacrima in it and maybe work like a cannon. Which in of itself is pretty cool as the doll itself has no magical abilities apart from parts. Of course Lacrima can break from very powerful spells, of course I think I can trust you not to be able to capture a abyss break XDhttp://fairytail.wikia.com/wiki/LacrimaFYI this is also what Melody's beads are made out of.

No worries there. A man's got to know his limits, and I know my character's doll's :P
Okay, I think I'm done for now. I really like the cannon arm idea, but I'll hold off on that for now until I get a better idea of how I want it to work. ^.^
Kitsune said
Yeah, cut. I did that because it works against her... heheheheheeheh. Cutting it dose not mean dispersing it, it just splits it into many other spells and most spells have homing so... Yeah, you can have it do that, but it will just fling about and start hitting you from all directions if it is a homing spell just like Margaret's blade. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys that even if I wont allow OP stuff I am not going to outright tell you that something is going to work against you... Just a head up ^^

lol Sorry for taking so long. I found a few pages with on the "magical" properties of certain materials, and there's so many I'm having trouble picking one. I'm kind of leaning towards a copper, because its one of the best conductors. Maybe, give the arm the ability to absorb magics, which don't have physical bases like fire, ice, wind, electric energies, etc, etc to store them and convert them for use later. It's super heavy too so that'll be the weakness.

malmshodes: A pretty cool idea for magic with weaknesses. Such as wood having the same strength as a coke can. However I must point out that while it can catch alight you must re-equip it to put the fire out, and unique magical flames will harm it just the same. After all it is wood. XDAs for Iron... I feel that neutralizing peoples magic would be a bit OP, given that everyone uses magic. I only allowed the golden bead in another CS because it was a single bead and could only be used once. However, iron is a conductor so instead of that ability would you mind replacing it with a charge ability? Like if it is hit with lightning magic it is able to store it as a charge? Other than that it is accepted with its cool unique magic ^^True


I did the changes for fire, I think.
I can understand that, about neutralizing magic being OP, but isn't it similar to Margaret snow's Blade of Smiting, which allows her to "cut through magic?" What if instead of Neutralizing it, I limit it to disrupting magic like it won't negate the energies, but it'll cause them to disperse in random directions, or cause other mishaps in other's magic? If the conductor idea is still preferred could I change the material and save iron for later? I kind of what to do something special with iron, as its traditionally used, in folk stories as a powerful protector against fairies, and some other magical beings.
I think my CS is done. If there's anything, anything at all that needs to be fixed, edited, clarified, I'll get right on it. Hopefully it won't be too bad though, but if it is, It's late over here so I won't be too surprised if my tired state wasn't able to create something that's up to code.
