I-I mean, we don't have to either. But they'd be more pressure.

...

Do you WANT to test the teleportation glyph tonight, or do you just want to sleep?

[othellovonryan]

Maybe. It's. I need to gauge what will help or not, usually I just went to Raph and that works out.

[There is more tapping.] I would not be the best observer tonight. I would be prone to distraction.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter's expression softens. ]

Another night, then. I don't really need to figure out the glyphs right now, anyway. Shirou and I figured out something that takes more prep and a charge, but still works.

[ He reaches under his bed for a crystal? Purple, with some glyphs inscribed in the side. ]

[othellovonryan]

A crystal?

[pyrighteous]

Yeah! Here, you can tap it to turn it on.

[othellovonryan]

[well time to see if this works for him!]

[Tapping.]

[pyrighteous]

[ The glyphs flare into life, and the stone immediately radiates a warm, pleasant heat. Also a purple glow. ]

How's that?

[othellovonryan]

[Ooooh purple.]

Oh, it's like a heating pad. [And it worked!]

[pyrighteous]

[ it worked!! ]

Basically, yeah. All heat and light, no fire or smoke.

[othellovonryan]

That will be very useful, especially with this cold.

And is this just a regular crystal?

[pyrighteous]

It came from the fake magic ruin. Shirou checked it to make sure it was a good one, and then I put on a different glyph design, and then we took it to Pallas to fill it with magic. So - it'll run out eventually, but it should last the night.

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.]

If you want, I can help manufacture then easier. I can make a cutter to just copy the design instead of needing to do it by hand.

[pyrighteous]

[ !!! ]

Really?

[othellovonryan]

Yes.

That is the beauty of being able to construct power tools.

[pyrighteous]

That would be amazing! I'm - okay, the circle part is much easier with the string, but it's still hard getting the rest of it EXACTLY right.

[othellovonryan]

String?

[He will pull out his phone to take a picture of the design. He can remember it, but also always good to have a reference.]

But yes, it should be simple enough. I can even make a specialized bit to save more time.

[pyrighteous]

When you tie a string around a stick and also your pencil, so it draws evenly around.

[ He seems very excited about all of this. ]

What's a specialized bit?

[othellovonryan]

Oh yes, a makeshift compass. That would help.

Instead of just having a straight bit for a mechanized chisel, I can make interconnecting saws in the shape of this symbol and its just a few moments of pressure versus a few minutes of moving it through the shapes.

[pyrighteous]

I can't conceptualize that at all but I love it.

[othellovonryan]

[He grabs his staff because yes, he brings it even for a sleepover, there are monsters around and gotta be safe.]

[He holds it in front of him and there's that purple energy that moves over the full staff and it actually disassembles and reassembles into a large drummel tol with a what is essentially a super fancy outline boring saw type deal.]

[The saw bit probably looks horrifying TBH.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Look. Hunter of all people is not going to argue with bringing a staff everywhere. He scoots closer to take a closer look.

.............. okay he has mild regrets about witnessing that saw. ]

That's a little different from what I was expecting.

[othellovonryan]

[Nothing like imagining what a fucked up saw could do to things Not Rock Or Wood Based.]

What's important is it'll get the job done consistently and with far less hand cramps.

[pyrighteous]

[ He SURE IS picturing it for a moment.

But it's Donnie. This is fine? Probably. ]

Then I'll give you the crystal design. Just make sure it goes onto a good quality crystal or it will explode instead.

[othellovonryan]

[It's Probably Fine.]

Got it. I'll make sure Shirou agrees to the quality.

[Because what is a good magic crystal, he don't know.]

[But then he's gonna dismiss the construct and it reforms into his Bo again.]

[pyrighteous]

... I'm still super jealous of that.
