Blacksmith for Hire
Hi there, the name's Hiccup, and I'm one of the ship's resident blacksmiths. Last I checked, there were a few people that did metalcraft, but I'm one of the only ones that offers regular blacksmithing services to the crew.
I just wanted to let any newcomers know that my services are available, in terms of making and repairing weapons, armor, metal utensils, and other odds and ends. I can also do leatherwork, and some limited mechanics, although if you need anything complex repaired or made you might be better off going to Engineering or we might have to cooperate on a project.
For payment, if you can provide the ingot, scrap, or leather, something I can trade for it on a shore leave, or I have enough in my own stockpile, I work for free, as I see this as my way of helping the war effort. That said, I do appreciate barter or the odd favor here and there. Nothing too big, but say if you had some fresh food to barter, or I needed help moving something around and you have some muscles to spare, I'd appreciate it.
If you're a blacksmith, one forge on the ship is open for regular use, provided you help maintain the equipment and replace it if it's damaged. That's the one that belongs to a blacksmith named Daja, who's been repodded. [map location here.] Anyone can use it, though please give me a heads up if you are, as she was my master and it was also her place of residence. I like being able to keep track of when people are going in and out to make sure it's maintained and that no one's messing with her personal belongings.
The other is my own [map location here] not far from the Drunken Dragon. While I'm willing to open my forge up to anyone needing to use it, if more than a few people need a forge at the same time and there isn't room to work in Daja's, it's mostly my private workshop, so you can only use it with my permission, and please don't go inside if it's locked. I'm there a lot of the time, so you can stop in there to see if me if you have a project for me, but if I'm not there, you can always catch me on the omnicoms.
Anyway, let me know if you need any work done, or if you're another blacksmith and want to talk shop.

And those will probably turn deadly at some point, too.

Though I see it more like enjoying the peace and quiet of the places where there are no things that want to maim or kill me, to make up for the fact that I'm inevitably going to die horribly.
Nothing wrong with enjoying a little peace and quiet and lack of maiming.

I've been getting crazy high scores in that lately.

I'm not staying there constantly, just...a lot. A great deal of the time. Is it wrong to want to be more of a homebody?

[After all, the last time she'd seen Hiccup, Goliath had been seriously injured and the young viking had been concussed trying to help him.]
I didn't get a chance to thank you for what you did.

I'm surprised I haven't seen you around the castle.

Nowhere near as bad as the chest alien, though.

This is interdimensional space war. Bad things happen in interdimensional space war.
