Do speak up if we're transforming Minato into too much of a butt monkey

[Kurogami]

Not really, up till this last part it hasn't been much of a problem, high endurance has to get some use.

I am a bit uncomfortable with the way things are starting to go now so forgive me if I try to steer things in a different direction.

[Brahmastra]

Go ahead, I wasn't gonna write anything much further.

[Kurogami]

Is it just me, or am I making Thanatos a bit too bloodthirsty?

[Brahmastra]

The sloot is on the road.

[Brahmastra]

Lantz no one actually uses water as a coolant during metalworking, you use heat-treating oil.

[Kat]

I presume his knowledge is from unrealistic video games and fantasy titles since researching blacksmithing is on higher difficulty level.

[YOLF]

Guys, it's magic, I don't think he's all that concerned about it.

I think. I mean, a bucket of water shouldn't vaporize instantly like that either.

[Kat]

Paradox would fuck up Satoshi for not following the Consensus.

[Brahmastra]

Actually when you're dealing with 1500F or higher temperatures during the tempering of the blade (which is the stage that is always followed by cooling), water will pretty much disappear on contact. And yes, when it can be felt at a 10 feet range, you are definitely above that temperature.

[Lycodrake]

I do hope I'm not meta-gaming with Lyco's "ooo what shiny type/element of magic does this person use" sense.
Just be prepared for him to freak the fuck out if his senses are screaming ICE ICE BABY - FLEE.

You actually could, but shit's old style.

But seriously, with so much going on and so much powerful characters, I feel so outta place in this RP. ;_;

Let me reword myself. Using water as a coolant is shit and makes the item brittle as fuck, but you can totally do it, your result is just going to be awful.

Satoshi is supposedly this master smith who's infinity years old, yet he doesn't even know this.

I'm basically pointing out that if Lantz wants to put all these jobs like smith and doctor on his SI's profile, he should do the most basic of basic research. I think I've used a day's worth of time researching Kalaripayattu just for a future fic of mine, so Lantz could at least go watch Man At Arms or something like that to at least get a feel of what his character is doing.

[Kat]

What kind of char you are running, Ivan?

There's always tempering, besides, so I don't really think that using water is that bad. I mean, aside from the small chance of cracks and bends.

These three.
