[ The image that appears is a slightly harried looking Percy, smudges of soot on his face and a pair of work googles pushed to the top of his head, half hidden in his white hair. He gives the device a slightly distracted smile as he leans back. ]

Good evening. My name is Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III. Call me Percy. I have...well, I suppose it's half a question and half an offer, really.

I'm something of a tinkerer, you could say, and I'm wondering what sorts of things people might find helpful here. It's been made abundantly clear to me that I can't make assumptions based on what I'm used to back home, so. I open it to the world at large. I specialize somewhat in metalwork, so that's a start. I'm no swordsmith, but armor, arrows, [ there's the slightest pause before he makes himself continue ] guns, explosives. Anything with black powder. I've also a fair bit of experience with clockworks and other machinery, on the less dangerous end of things. Enchantments as well, though I'd hardly call myself an expert at it. Just enough to know what I'm doing.

The offer part is that if you do have a suggestion, I'm willing to have a go at it, free of charge. Even if it's something I've not heard of. I wouldn't mind stretching my skills a bit, to be honest.

[ The smile he's been wearing takes on a very slightly strained edge. Genuinely interested in trying new things? Yes. Attempting to keep himself too busy to think much about what happened over the full moon? Also yes. ]

So that's the sales pitch. Feel free to let me know if you have an idea or a request, I promise you that there's very little that can surprise me. Otherwise, thank you for your time.

I have a pistol that I could use some bullets for.

[Only having a few bullets left means he's been trying to save them.]

It's strictly for self-defence. I don't have fangs or claws or magic to defend myself with, for the most part.

[He has water magic, but it's not like he could compete against a Witch with it. He has fangs and claws in the water, but he's usually on land. Even his siren song only works when he's wet. And as skilled as he is at fighting humans... he's not against just humans anymore.]

I would insist you are paid for your creations.

[ Hello, it's time to talk about something better than dragons!!! Daenerys has been wafting on this – especially since she caused some problems for people back on their emissary mission by being unable to defend herself. She's speaking with someone over weapon creations, but... ]

What type of armor would you suggest for those who are not trained to wear it? I may have two jobs for you, if you are willing to pursue something larger than one set.

Bullets, I can certainly do.

[ Could probably make them with his eyes closed at this point, honestly. ]

What sort of a pistol, if you don't mind my asking?

Light. Armor can be surprisingly difficult to move with, if you aren't used to it. Something leather perhaps, studded if you wanted a bit more protection.

Are you good at making something the size of a pistol? Or are you thinking something more like a shotgun? I am looking to get two handguns and the bullets for them. I'm glad to purchase.
