Hector, Son Of Hephaestus

Come! Enjoy your stay in my workshop!

[hector-the-blacksmith]

The humble blacksmith

Greetings! Welcome to my workshop! My name is Hector! If you need something fixed or a weapon to be made, you have come to the right place! All are welcome in my workshop! Of course if you don’t treat those around you with the respect they deserve I hold the right to bar you entry. Treat those around you with respect and they will do the same!

I like to consider myself open for any discussion! So feel free to ask me questions or simply make small talk! That might be hard for a man of my stature though! Haha!

Hector is a large boisterous man at 6’6 in height.

He is around 29 years old but still laughs and makes jokes like a kid would.

Hector is aromantic but he doesnt know what that means. If you told him that word he would make a joke about Roman ticks.

He is a son of Hephaestus so naturally he is proficient in blacksmithing and weapon making. He also like to create and tinker with various things. He likes to take things that intrigue him and take them apart to learn more about them. Thus, his workbench is covered in gears and cogs and other small components from mechanical toys and objects he has taken apart.

(Mod info: I am 17 so please nothing nsfw. I’m fine with most things but just don’t be weird is all.)

A large man stumbles into the hotel. He is wearing a white shirt and a leather metal working apron. “Huh. This is not my forge. Where is here?” Hector thinks aloud.

@hector-the-blacksmith

A blue and white fox man is sitting at the desk, fidgeting with a gun. He sets it down when the man walks in, looking up with a small wave. He speaks not from his lips but within Hectors mind.

"Welcome to The Hotel, crossroad between worlds. How may I help you?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector looks around to see where the noise came from. "Was that you? What is that contraption you are playing with? Where am I? This is all so new!"

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Yep, that was me. The contraption? That a gun, its a long ranged weapon. Very powerful. And yes, I know its a lot. You are in The Hotel, its a place separate from main reality."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"This place is magnificent! Could you show me around? I could explore this place for days!" Hector looks like a child in a candy store.

[variousvossivixens]

He smiles, a patented customer service smile, perfectly crafted to hide his annoyance at the task. Not like its Hectors fault, he just really doesn't want to give a tour. This place is massive, the gardens are literally described as infinite. It's such a chore, but it is his job, much as he detests it.

"Of course! Here let me grab you a map and we can walk around all you like. Do you read English? Common?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"I speak a couple languages! Greek, English, I even speak a little Romanian!" Hector says.

[variousvossivixens]

"Perfect!" He grabs a small paper map out of his desk, detailing the first 3 floors and listing the other two floors as resident bedrooms. He hands the map to Hector as he stands.

Hotel Rooms: Lobby, Lounge, Bar/Kitchen, Pool, Market, Infinite Gardens, Cryptid Forest, Titantic Village, Gym/Training Area, Med Bay, Theater, Port, Magic's Office, Library, Casino/Arcade, Emotion's Office, Arts & Crafts Room, Spa, Garage, Museum, HR Office, Lab, & Torture Dungeon.

"Anywhere in particular catch your eye or do you just want to see everything?" His tone is of someone who doesn't care either way but internally he's begging for them to just pick one or two rooms.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. Is there any one of these that would be close to a forge or workshop?” Hector asks.

[variousvossivixens]

"Of course. For workshop we have the laboratory but thats very science, techy. If we're looking for a forge that would be in the art room. I can show you both but let's start with art, yes? Follow me." He leads them over to the elevator and gestures for them to get in, pressing the button for the 3rd floor.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector keeps lookin around with child like wonder. “This place feels magical!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well the owner is called Magic. They have domain over the whole concept."

The room he leads them to is huge. Every type of craft you could think of is in here. A corner full of canvas and easels for painting and drawing. Multiple types of printers. Cabinets full of supplies. A cozy area with wall to ceiling fabrics and yarns. A large fireplace with all sorts of tools for metal working. More wood working equipment then most people have seen in their life. And the last just goes on. Basically, regardless of your artistic passion, if it has a physical form then you're gonna love this room.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector walks in and marvels at the room. He gasps. “I have never seen such beauty! These tools! Dare I say some have better craftsmanship than the ones father gave me!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well they're made with magic, not a passion or love. So despite being objectively flawless, I'm sure your fathers tools are much more valuable."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Oh no doubt! Tools like these tend to break easily! You don’t want something that looks perfect! No matter how aesthetically pleasing! You want a good strong tool like this!” Hector pulls out a large hammer the size of a medium tree branch. “This hammer has lasted me 5 years! Hammers like those would need to be replaced in maybe 8 months to a year!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Mhm, boss doesn't care if this stuff breaks cause the place will just spawn replacements as needed." He nods, then gets closer to inspect the hammer, clear appreciation on his face. "Thats really cool..."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Made it myself! My first project when I was a novice blacksmith and metal worker. Before I could make even a simple dagger! I made a hunk of metal for this hammer, shaped it, and it has lasted me since. Every year on its creation day I replace the handle and grip with a new wood. Keeps the handle strong! Prevents wear and tear from breaking the handle and sending the head of the hammer flying through the workshop haha!” Hectors laugh is booming.

[variousvossivixens]

His ears go down at the volume but he smiles. "Sounds smart. So you mostly make weapons then?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mostly! Swords and other types! I am currently working on an automaton however! A machine that can absorb fuel through its metal body!” Hector beams. “I have found a way to accomplish this! But now I need a good fuel source.”

[variousvossivixens]

"Oh thats super cool. Fought a few automatons before... wasn't fun. Didn't know the fuel source though... think some were powered by salt? But I haven't the slightest clue how. My brother makes robots powered by blood but its magic blood so that probably won't help you."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hold on. Magic blood you say! Now that just might work!” Hector says. “If it were used in battle, the blood would just fuel the robot more!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well... yeah. But where you gonna get enough magic blood? He just mass murders people but you..." Looks over the jovial man critically. "You don't really seem the genocidal type."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. You are right. Perhaps some sort of liquid fuel instead. I could make the mouth its fuel receptor!” Hector says. “Perhaps if the army needs a robot to fight in a battle I could create one for them!”

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Mm. Yeah that would probably work well... thats really cool. Do you do a lot of weapon making for the army?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well, mostly just swords! This automaton is a pet project of mine! I wanted to try my hand at something a little more complicated!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Thats admirable. Good to step out of your comfort zone every once in awhile right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Exactly! Can’t keep making swords all day or you’ll lose your touch with other types of tools! Ive actually made a few items for the gods believe it or not! Mostly as gifts, the tools they use are specially crafted and much farther beyond what I can craft!”

[variousvossivixens]

"For gods? Thats impressive." He says as if he hasn't done the same. "Which gods would those be?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well. I made some hammers for my dear old dad, a trident for Poseidon, I think I made a sword for Ares once.” Hector lists all of the things he has made for the various gods.

[variousvossivixens]

He nods along, listening with curiosity. "Greek then... thats fascinating. You must be very skilled. I've heard those gods can be quite... rude and judgmental. Are they?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“They can be! Mostly to mortals who act like they are better than the gods! You’ve heard of the woman who thought they were a better weaver than Athena?”

[variousvossivixens]

"Uh... yeah I think I've read about that one... the spider lady right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mhm! That is a prime example as to why you do not test the gods! That is why even if I am part god, I still give offerings to them every time I visit one! Don’t want to get on their bad side!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Sounds like theyre pretty insecure. I'd hate dealing with such spoiled beings." Rolls his eyes. And some thought Kaz was bad.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well, there is that. We tend not to say it out loud to avoid their wrath. But most gods are alright! Like father! Hephaestus! He is most of the time as sweet as a bowl of ambrosia! I visit his forge sometimes to make things together!”

[variousvossivixens]

"You're fairly safe from godly wrath here, its fine to be honest." He shrugs. "That is quite sweet... I'm glad you're able to have a good relationship with him despite the power gap."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Yes! It is quite nice! I even have powers because of it! I can handle extreme heat! It’s much easier to grab a crucible right out of the forge rather than using a tool to grab it for me! I can’t exactly do much else however! It’s unfortunate. Most children get at least two but I seem to have gotten the short end of the stick!” Hector smiles, but the smile seems a little less genuine than usual. Almost like he’s hiding something.

[variousvossivixens]

"Thats still really cool! Sounds quite useful." He tilts his head. "Are you... unhappy with the power?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“No! Not at all! It makes things much easier in the forge! Just a little disappointed I only have the one!” Hector says with a chuckle.

[variousvossivixens]

"Ah. That is fair. I'm sure its just up to random chance or something though. You're still just as cool as any of your siblings."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Yes. Of course. Haha.” He laughs awkwardly. “Fate can be very fickle cant it?”

[variousvossivixens]

He fidgets with his tails, feeling bad for bringing up such a clearly sore subject. "It can be. Odd, and impossible to predict."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Yes. Like a wild fire. You can’t predict what it will do.”

[variousvossivixens]

"Mhm." He taps his paw, trying to think of something else to say. "So... was there anything else you wanted to see?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm? Oh! Uh. No I think I am alright! I am probably going to stay in this area! Reminds me of home!”

[variousvossivixens]

A large man stumbles into the hotel. He is wearing a white shirt and a leather metal working apron. “Huh. This is not my forge. Where is here?” Hector thinks aloud.

"Welcome to The Hotel, crossroad between worlds. How may I help you?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector looks around to see where the noise came from. "Was that you? What is that contraption you are playing with? Where am I? This is all so new!"

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Yep, that was me. The contraption? That a gun, its a long ranged weapon. Very powerful. And yes, I know its a lot. You are in The Hotel, its a place separate from main reality."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"This place is magnificent! Could you show me around? I could explore this place for days!" Hector looks like a child in a candy store.

[variousvossivixens]

He smiles, a patented customer service smile, perfectly crafted to hide his annoyance at the task. Not like its Hectors fault, he just really doesn't want to give a tour. This place is massive, the gardens are literally described as infinite. It's such a chore, but it is his job, much as he detests it.

"Of course! Here let me grab you a map and we can walk around all you like. Do you read English? Common?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"I speak a couple languages! Greek, English, I even speak a little Romanian!" Hector says.

[variousvossivixens]

"Perfect!" He grabs a small paper map out of his desk, detailing the first 3 floors and listing the other two floors as resident bedrooms. He hands the map to Hector as he stands.

Hotel Rooms: Lobby, Lounge, Bar/Kitchen, Pool, Market, Infinite Gardens, Cryptid Forest, Titantic Village, Gym/Training Area, Med Bay, Theater, Port, Magic's Office, Library, Casino/Arcade, Emotion's Office, Arts & Crafts Room, Spa, Garage, Museum, HR Office, Lab, & Torture Dungeon.

"Anywhere in particular catch your eye or do you just want to see everything?" His tone is of someone who doesn't care either way but internally he's begging for them to just pick one or two rooms.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. Is there any one of these that would be close to a forge or workshop?” Hector asks.

[variousvossivixens]

"Of course. For workshop we have the laboratory but thats very science, techy. If we're looking for a forge that would be in the art room. I can show you both but let's start with art, yes? Follow me." He leads them over to the elevator and gestures for them to get in, pressing the button for the 3rd floor.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector keeps lookin around with child like wonder. “This place feels magical!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well the owner is called Magic. They have domain over the whole concept."

The room he leads them to is huge. Every type of craft you could think of is in here. A corner full of canvas and easels for painting and drawing. Multiple types of printers. Cabinets full of supplies. A cozy area with wall to ceiling fabrics and yarns. A large fireplace with all sorts of tools for metal working. More wood working equipment then most people have seen in their life. And the last just goes on. Basically, regardless of your artistic passion, if it has a physical form then you're gonna love this room.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector walks in and marvels at the room. He gasps. “I have never seen such beauty! These tools! Dare I say some have better craftsmanship than the ones father gave me!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well they're made with magic, not a passion or love. So despite being objectively flawless, I'm sure your fathers tools are much more valuable."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Oh no doubt! Tools like these tend to break easily! You don’t want something that looks perfect! No matter how aesthetically pleasing! You want a good strong tool like this!” Hector pulls out a large hammer the size of a medium tree branch. “This hammer has lasted me 5 years! Hammers like those would need to be replaced in maybe 8 months to a year!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Mhm, boss doesn't care if this stuff breaks cause the place will just spawn replacements as needed." He nods, then gets closer to inspect the hammer, clear appreciation on his face. "Thats really cool..."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Made it myself! My first project when I was a novice blacksmith and metal worker. Before I could make even a simple dagger! I made a hunk of metal for this hammer, shaped it, and it has lasted me since. Every year on its creation day I replace the handle and grip with a new wood. Keeps the handle strong! Prevents wear and tear from breaking the handle and sending the head of the hammer flying through the workshop haha!” Hectors laugh is booming.

[variousvossivixens]

His ears go down at the volume but he smiles. "Sounds smart. So you mostly make weapons then?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mostly! Swords and other types! I am currently working on an automaton however! A machine that can absorb fuel through its metal body!” Hector beams. “I have found a way to accomplish this! But now I need a good fuel source.”

[variousvossivixens]

"Oh thats super cool. Fought a few automatons before... wasn't fun. Didn't know the fuel source though... think some were powered by salt? But I haven't the slightest clue how. My brother makes robots powered by blood but its magic blood so that probably won't help you."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hold on. Magic blood you say! Now that just might work!” Hector says. “If it were used in battle, the blood would just fuel the robot more!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well... yeah. But where you gonna get enough magic blood? He just mass murders people but you..." Looks over the jovial man critically. "You don't really seem the genocidal type."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. You are right. Perhaps some sort of liquid fuel instead. I could make the mouth its fuel receptor!” Hector says. “Perhaps if the army needs a robot to fight in a battle I could create one for them!”

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Mm. Yeah that would probably work well... thats really cool. Do you do a lot of weapon making for the army?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well, mostly just swords! This automaton is a pet project of mine! I wanted to try my hand at something a little more complicated!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Thats admirable. Good to step out of your comfort zone every once in awhile right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Exactly! Can’t keep making swords all day or you’ll lose your touch with other types of tools! Ive actually made a few items for the gods believe it or not! Mostly as gifts, the tools they use are specially crafted and much farther beyond what I can craft!”

[variousvossivixens]

"For gods? Thats impressive." He says as if he hasn't done the same. "Which gods would those be?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well. I made some hammers for my dear old dad, a trident for Poseidon, I think I made a sword for Ares once.” Hector lists all of the things he has made for the various gods.

[variousvossivixens]

He nods along, listening with curiosity. "Greek then... thats fascinating. You must be very skilled. I've heard those gods can be quite... rude and judgmental. Are they?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“They can be! Mostly to mortals who act like they are better than the gods! You’ve heard of the woman who thought they were a better weaver than Athena?”

[variousvossivixens]

"Uh... yeah I think I've read about that one... the spider lady right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mhm! That is a prime example as to why you do not test the gods! That is why even if I am part god, I still give offerings to them every time I visit one! Don’t want to get on their bad side!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Sounds like theyre pretty insecure. I'd hate dealing with such spoiled beings." Rolls his eyes. And some thought Kaz was bad.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well, there is that. We tend not to say it out loud to avoid their wrath. But most gods are alright! Like father! Hephaestus! He is most of the time as sweet as a bowl of ambrosia! I visit his forge sometimes to make things together!”

[variousvossivixens]

"You're fairly safe from godly wrath here, its fine to be honest." He shrugs. "That is quite sweet... I'm glad you're able to have a good relationship with him despite the power gap."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Yes! It is quite nice! I even have powers because of it! I can handle extreme heat! It’s much easier to grab a crucible right out of the forge rather than using a tool to grab it for me! I can’t exactly do much else however! It’s unfortunate. Most children get at least two but I seem to have gotten the short end of the stick!” Hector smiles, but the smile seems a little less genuine than usual. Almost like he’s hiding something.

[variousvossivixens]

"Thats still really cool! Sounds quite useful." He tilts his head. "Are you... unhappy with the power?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“No! Not at all! It makes things much easier in the forge! Just a little disappointed I only have the one!” Hector says with a chuckle.

[variousvossivixens]

A large man stumbles into the hotel. He is wearing a white shirt and a leather metal working apron. “Huh. This is not my forge. Where is here?” Hector thinks aloud.

“Mostly! Swords and other types! I am currently working on an automaton however! A machine that can absorb fuel through its metal body!” Hector beams. “I have found a way to accomplish this! But now I need a good fuel source.”

[variousvossivixens]

"Oh thats super cool. Fought a few automatons before... wasn't fun. Didn't know the fuel source though... think some were powered by salt? But I haven't the slightest clue how. My brother makes robots powered by blood but its magic blood so that probably won't help you."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hold on. Magic blood you say! Now that just might work!” Hector says. “If it were used in battle, the blood would just fuel the robot more!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well... yeah. But where you gonna get enough magic blood? He just mass murders people but you..." Looks over the jovial man critically. "You don't really seem the genocidal type."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. You are right. Perhaps some sort of liquid fuel instead. I could make the mouth its fuel receptor!” Hector says. “Perhaps if the army needs a robot to fight in a battle I could create one for them!”

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Mm. Yeah that would probably work well... thats really cool. Do you do a lot of weapon making for the army?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well, mostly just swords! This automaton is a pet project of mine! I wanted to try my hand at something a little more complicated!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Thats admirable. Good to step out of your comfort zone every once in awhile right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Exactly! Can’t keep making swords all day or you’ll lose your touch with other types of tools! Ive actually made a few items for the gods believe it or not! Mostly as gifts, the tools they use are specially crafted and much farther beyond what I can craft!”

[variousvossivixens]

"For gods? Thats impressive." He says as if he hasn't done the same. "Which gods would those be?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Well. I made some hammers for my dear old dad, a trident for Poseidon, I think I made a sword for Ares once.” Hector lists all of the things he has made for the various gods.

[variousvossivixens]

He nods along, listening with curiosity. "Greek then... thats fascinating. You must be very skilled. I've heard those gods can be quite... rude and judgmental. Are they?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“They can be! Mostly to mortals who act like they are better than the gods! You’ve heard of the woman who thought they were a better weaver than Athena?”

[variousvossivixens]

"Uh... yeah I think I've read about that one... the spider lady right?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mhm! That is a prime example as to why you do not test the gods! That is why even if I am part god, I still give offerings to them every time I visit one! Don’t want to get on their bad side!”

[variousvossivixens]

A large man stumbles into the hotel. He is wearing a white shirt and a leather metal working apron. “Huh. This is not my forge. Where is here?” Hector thinks aloud.

@hector-the-blacksmith

A blue and white fox man is sitting at the desk, fidgeting with a gun. He sets it down when the man walks in, looking up with a small wave. He speaks not from his lips but within Hectors mind.

"Welcome to The Hotel, crossroad between worlds. How may I help you?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector looks around to see where the noise came from. "Was that you? What is that contraption you are playing with? Where am I? This is all so new!"

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Yep, that was me. The contraption? That a gun, its a long ranged weapon. Very powerful. And yes, I know its a lot. You are in The Hotel, its a place separate from main reality."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"This place is magnificent! Could you show me around? I could explore this place for days!" Hector looks like a child in a candy store.

[variousvossivixens]

He smiles, a patented customer service smile, perfectly crafted to hide his annoyance at the task. Not like its Hectors fault, he just really doesn't want to give a tour. This place is massive, the gardens are literally described as infinite. It's such a chore, but it is his job, much as he detests it.

"Of course! Here let me grab you a map and we can walk around all you like. Do you read English? Common?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"I speak a couple languages! Greek, English, I even speak a little Romanian!" Hector says.

[variousvossivixens]

"Perfect!" He grabs a small paper map out of his desk, detailing the first 3 floors and listing the other two floors as resident bedrooms. He hands the map to Hector as he stands.

Hotel Rooms: Lobby, Lounge, Bar/Kitchen, Pool, Market, Infinite Gardens, Cryptid Forest, Titantic Village, Gym/Training Area, Med Bay, Theater, Port, Magic's Office, Library, Casino/Arcade, Emotion's Office, Arts & Crafts Room, Spa, Garage, Museum, HR Office, Lab, & Torture Dungeon.

"Anywhere in particular catch your eye or do you just want to see everything?" His tone is of someone who doesn't care either way but internally he's begging for them to just pick one or two rooms.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. Is there any one of these that would be close to a forge or workshop?” Hector asks.

[variousvossivixens]

"Of course. For workshop we have the laboratory but thats very science, techy. If we're looking for a forge that would be in the art room. I can show you both but let's start with art, yes? Follow me." He leads them over to the elevator and gestures for them to get in, pressing the button for the 3rd floor.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector keeps lookin around with child like wonder. “This place feels magical!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well the owner is called Magic. They have domain over the whole concept."

The room he leads them to is huge. Every type of craft you could think of is in here. A corner full of canvas and easels for painting and drawing. Multiple types of printers. Cabinets full of supplies. A cozy area with wall to ceiling fabrics and yarns. A large fireplace with all sorts of tools for metal working. More wood working equipment then most people have seen in their life. And the last just goes on. Basically, regardless of your artistic passion, if it has a physical form then you're gonna love this room.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector walks in and marvels at the room. He gasps. “I have never seen such beauty! These tools! Dare I say some have better craftsmanship than the ones father gave me!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well they're made with magic, not a passion or love. So despite being objectively flawless, I'm sure your fathers tools are much more valuable."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Oh no doubt! Tools like these tend to break easily! You don’t want something that looks perfect! No matter how aesthetically pleasing! You want a good strong tool like this!” Hector pulls out a large hammer the size of a medium tree branch. “This hammer has lasted me 5 years! Hammers like those would need to be replaced in maybe 8 months to a year!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Mhm, boss doesn't care if this stuff breaks cause the place will just spawn replacements as needed." He nods, then gets closer to inspect the hammer, clear appreciation on his face. "Thats really cool..."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Made it myself! My first project when I was a novice blacksmith and metal worker. Before I could make even a simple dagger! I made a hunk of metal for this hammer, shaped it, and it has lasted me since. Every year on its creation day I replace the handle and grip with a new wood. Keeps the handle strong! Prevents wear and tear from breaking the handle and sending the head of the hammer flying through the workshop haha!” Hectors laugh is booming.

[variousvossivixens]

His ears go down at the volume but he smiles. "Sounds smart. So you mostly make weapons then?"

A large man stumbles into the hotel. He is wearing a white shirt and a leather metal working apron. “Huh. This is not my forge. Where is here?” Hector thinks aloud.

@hector-the-blacksmith

A blue and white fox man is sitting at the desk, fidgeting with a gun. He sets it down when the man walks in, looking up with a small wave. He speaks not from his lips but within Hectors mind.

"Welcome to The Hotel, crossroad between worlds. How may I help you?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector looks around to see where the noise came from. "Was that you? What is that contraption you are playing with? Where am I? This is all so new!"

[variousvossivixens]

He nods. "Yep, that was me. The contraption? That a gun, its a long ranged weapon. Very powerful. And yes, I know its a lot. You are in The Hotel, its a place separate from main reality."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"This place is magnificent! Could you show me around? I could explore this place for days!" Hector looks like a child in a candy store.

[variousvossivixens]

He smiles, a patented customer service smile, perfectly crafted to hide his annoyance at the task. Not like its Hectors fault, he just really doesn't want to give a tour. This place is massive, the gardens are literally described as infinite. It's such a chore, but it is his job, much as he detests it.

"Of course! Here let me grab you a map and we can walk around all you like. Do you read English? Common?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

"I speak a couple languages! Greek, English, I even speak a little Romanian!" Hector says.

[variousvossivixens]

"Perfect!" He grabs a small paper map out of his desk, detailing the first 3 floors and listing the other two floors as resident bedrooms. He hands the map to Hector as he stands.

Hotel Rooms: Lobby, Lounge, Bar/Kitchen, Pool, Market, Infinite Gardens, Cryptid Forest, Titantic Village, Gym/Training Area, Med Bay, Theater, Port, Magic's Office, Library, Casino/Arcade, Emotion's Office, Arts & Crafts Room, Spa, Garage, Museum, HR Office, Lab, & Torture Dungeon.

"Anywhere in particular catch your eye or do you just want to see everything?" His tone is of someone who doesn't care either way but internally he's begging for them to just pick one or two rooms.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. Is there any one of these that would be close to a forge or workshop?” Hector asks.

[variousvossivixens]

"Of course. For workshop we have the laboratory but thats very science, techy. If we're looking for a forge that would be in the art room. I can show you both but let's start with art, yes? Follow me." He leads them over to the elevator and gestures for them to get in, pressing the button for the 3rd floor.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector keeps lookin around with child like wonder. “This place feels magical!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well the owner is called Magic. They have domain over the whole concept."

The room he leads them to is huge. Every type of craft you could think of is in here. A corner full of canvas and easels for painting and drawing. Multiple types of printers. Cabinets full of supplies. A cozy area with wall to ceiling fabrics and yarns. A large fireplace with all sorts of tools for metal working. More wood working equipment then most people have seen in their life. And the last just goes on. Basically, regardless of your artistic passion, if it has a physical form then you're gonna love this room.

[hector-the-blacksmith]

Hector walks in and marvels at the room. He gasps. “I have never seen such beauty! These tools! Dare I say some have better craftsmanship than the ones father gave me!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well they're made with magic, not a passion or love. So despite being objectively flawless, I'm sure your fathers tools are much more valuable."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Oh no doubt! Tools like these tend to break easily! You don’t want something that looks perfect! No matter how aesthetically pleasing! You want a good strong tool like this!” Hector pulls out a large hammer the size of a medium tree branch. “This hammer has lasted me 5 years! Hammers like those would need to be replaced in maybe 8 months to a year!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Mhm, boss doesn't care if this stuff breaks cause the place will just spawn replacements as needed." He nods, then gets closer to inspect the hammer, clear appreciation on his face. "Thats really cool..."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Made it myself! My first project when I was a novice blacksmith and metal worker. Before I could make even a simple dagger! I made a hunk of metal for this hammer, shaped it, and it has lasted me since. Every year on its creation day I replace the handle and grip with a new wood. Keeps the handle strong! Prevents wear and tear from breaking the handle and sending the head of the hammer flying through the workshop haha!” Hectors laugh is booming.

[variousvossivixens]

His ears go down at the volume but he smiles. "Sounds smart. So you mostly make weapons then?"

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Mostly! Swords and other types! I am currently working on an automaton however! A machine that can absorb fuel through its metal body!” Hector beams. “I have found a way to accomplish this! But now I need a good fuel source.”

[variousvossivixens]

"Oh thats super cool. Fought a few automatons before... wasn't fun. Didn't know the fuel source though... think some were powered by salt? But I haven't the slightest clue how. My brother makes robots powered by blood but its magic blood so that probably won't help you."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hold on. Magic blood you say! Now that just might work!” Hector says. “If it were used in battle, the blood would just fuel the robot more!”

[variousvossivixens]

"Well... yeah. But where you gonna get enough magic blood? He just mass murders people but you..." Looks over the jovial man critically. "You don't really seem the genocidal type."

[hector-the-blacksmith]

“Hm. You are right. Perhaps some sort of liquid fuel instead. I could make the mouth its fuel receptor!” Hector says. “Perhaps if the army needs a robot to fight in a battle I could create one for them!”

[variousvossivixens]
