what
what kind of modifications do you mean?

[lonewanderer]

i have a metal skeleton + cybernetics. all internal.

it ultimately means i take less damage from things that would break the hell out of a regular person. but with the changes... i don't know.

[thisisamazing]

you have a metal skeleton

[Text does not impart tone well, but he's fascinated and just a tiny bit horrified, because how??]

maybe a witch would be able to help? if your body starts to change drastically, it could be dangerous if your bones don't change with it...

there are magitech crafters in the city. maybe i can ask around?

[lonewanderer]

well, metal covered, at least. but yeah, i don't want my bones to try and grow and then run right into metal instead. sounds kind of aggressively painful

maybe. asking around the magitech crafters would be great, though. i'm not sure where to start myself so i would appreciate it

[thisisamazing]

that sounds like it was painful to begin with. i can't imagine how bad that could be if they try to change shape or size.

do you want to come with me? i just don't want to seem like i'm going around telling strangers about you, that might be weird. but i know some guys, i've been selling them dragon scales, they might be able to help brainstorm a solution?

[lonewanderer]

it wasn't fun. worth it, though.

yeah, i guess that would probably be for the best. just tell me when you're free.

what are they buying dragon scales for?

[thisisamazing]

i'm free any time, other than classes at the Coven. whenever you want to go is fine with me.

oh, for armor and spells and things. nothing bad. and dragons shed like crazy so it doesn't hurt anybody.

[lonewanderer]

later today? i'd like to get started

armor, huh? think they're bulletproof?

[thisisamazing]

that works for me!

i'm not sure, actually. what's a bullet?

[lonewanderer]

small metal projectile, shot at high speeds

think an arrowhead but more destructive

[thisisamazing]

oh
uh
no i don't think dragonscale is bulletproof...

[lonewanderer]

hmm

think we could try it on one of the shed scales? make it a target. could help prove what it can do as armor.

[thisisamazing]

yeah, we could try it
i'm not sure what would happen if you hit the scale directly
sometimes dragonhide can fend off arrows, but not always, i think it depends on the angle they're hit at

[lonewanderer]

these are a lot more destructive than arrows

[thisisamazing]

...how much more destructive than arrows?

[lonewanderer]

might be easier if i show you
