I have not introduced myself properly and I seek to rectify that error. (He is not one who is often seen...anywhere, truly. Celebrimbor is a tall, regal Elf with long dark hair that is partially kept in braids. Two perfectly pale and pointed ears stick through the shadowy tresses and his eyes are the hue of silver.)

I am Celebrimbor - sometimes called Telperinquar - and I once resided on a land called Arda. To those who work in the Clinic, you have my utmost gratitude and I think I shall gladly spend my days (or what is left of them) moving with care rather than not moving at all.

(A ghost of a smile touches his lips, but it does not last.)

I have joined the Guard as well, so do not let my cautious movements fool you. I can fight anyone who challenges me.

(His eyes flash and he lifts his chin, haughty in his resolve.)

Lastly, I shall be opening a Forge. I am a fine blacksmith and your world has need of Elvish blades.

[Maketh nods in greeting.]

Henry mentioned your name to me. We welcome your skills as a blacksmith and your contributions to the guard. What sorts of things can you make?

[video]

[handofsilver]

I have not encountered a project I could not complete. (Ask of him what you will, Maketh, and he will forge it!) Weapons, I think, should be first.

[video]

[mismanagement]

[That's heartening.]

I agree. Do you think you could manufacture bullets?

[video]

[handofsilver]

If you show me their general shape and size, I shall do my best.

What makes an Elvish blade better than anything I can just grab from the armory? [ Other than the fact it wasn't provided by Rage, which is something Sharon can definitely get behind. ]

[handofsilver]

You shall see soon enough. Elvish blades never dull; they never rust or tarnish. They are almost impossible to break and, on Arda at least, many would glow when danger was near.

[unitas]

They'd always be glowing here, then. [ They're always in danger, she means. ] But I look forward to seeing what you can create; anything not given to us by the gods is a fucking blessing.

[handofsilver]

I thought as much. They shall be comforting, I hope. (He smiles faintly.) Then I will make as many "blessings" as possible.

Oh, how good! If y'need firepower, let me know, yeh? Name's Faith. Nice to meet you!

[handofsilver]

How is it you can provide fire? (He is intrigued.) Well met, Lady Faith.

[avephoenix]

[Rather than answer with words, Faith holds up a hand and produces a small set of flames from her palm.

All done with a smile.]

(His breath catches and he stares in wonder.)

Are you one of the Maiar?

[hotspurred]

[There is a touch of amusement in Henry's expression. That's certainly one way to invite opponents. Whether Celebrimbor should remains to be seen, but Henry has no intention of undermining a member of the Guard by voicing that.]

I would like to see one of your Elvish blades for myself. I am curious as to how it differs, aside from the hands that made it.

[handofsilver]

(Celebrimbor, no matter how he fights it, is a product of the Fëanorian line. Being rash and haughty comes with the territory, though he is quite skilled with defensive skills with or without a weapon.)

Shall I bring one to you?

[hotspurred]

[It's all right, Celebrimbor -- the Percies possess their share of hubris too.

Henry's expression livens, and he gives an assertive nod.]

Please do.

(Action)

[handofsilver]

(Bowing his head, he uses a substitute cane to make his way to Henry. Once he is standing before the man, he holds out a blade wrapped in cloth.)

See for yourself. (The blade is fine - the metal honed to perfection. It is less ornamented than usual, but it does glow with a Light of its own.)

[gymnast]

I'm all for there being more weapons around here, but why Elvish blades specifically? Is there something special about them?

video.

[handofsilver]

Indeed. They do not rust or dull with time or use. They also possess a Light of their own to fend off the Darkness.

video.

[gymnast]

...okay, yeah, that sounds pretty cool. Do they require a specific type of metal?

[skelebro]

[Heya, pal. This is...a skeleton on the video feed. A very skeleton. Don't worry. He's chill. He even starts the video off with a lazy wave.]

You're in the Guard, huh? You might end up gettin' to know my bro - he's one of you guys.

video

[handofsilver]

(A...talking skeleton...at that! Celebrimbor waves uncertainly back, silver eyes wide.)

Is he? Does he...favor you?

video

[skelebro]

[Sans, for his part, merely chuckles.]

I mean, I'd hope so. This is my brother we're talkin' about.

video

[handofsilver]

Obviously. (He ducks his head to hide his bewilderment.) You defy my logic.

[knifecollecting]

[Arda, huh? Sounds like something a nerd would know about.]

How are you finding the Guard? [She'll get to the blades in a minute, those interest her too.]

[handofsilver]

(There is Arda and her continents Middle Earth and Aman (or Valinor) - which is likely more of an island.)

It suits me. (Besides his leg making things difficult.) I am accustomed to such work.
