Characters: Refia and anyone who wants to meet her
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Refia has a new job - who wants to meet her/distract her/torment her?
Location: Lindblum
Date: February 1804
Warnings: Pssshhhh

Refia was wrapped in an oversized leather apron, since there wasn't one in her size, to protect her clothing and some of her body from the heat of the fire, hair tied back out of her face, attempting to figure this out. Wade had given her a pair of old daggers and told her to make them into a double-bladed pole arm - and while she could do that in the more traditional "smith" way, she wasn't entirely sure yet how to do that with synthesis. It was partially smithing, but partially magic, and she'd yet to figure out what the magic was, since it was nothing like she'd ever seen before.

The bell on the door rang, making her look up quickly and then back to the forge. "Just a minute!" She was also taking care of customers today, so she gave one last pump to the bellows to fuel the fire before turning back to the door and pulling off her heavy gloves. "Yes? Can I help you?"

Tifa entered the shop more out of curiosity than anything else. She'd heard that new equipment could be made out of old equipment here, and wondered how it worked.

Stepping inside, she smiled at the young woman who approached her. "Hey... I just thought I'd take a look around, is that okay? What kind of stuff do you make here?"

Eiko had decided within minutes of meeting Marlene that she really liked the girl. She couldn't quite take Mog's place, but then no one could. Marlene came pretty darned close to fitting the bill though. So the minute that Ingus had his back turned, which wasn't often, Eiko slipped off to find her new best friend to sneak out into town. There was so much to show her!

Hand in hand, the little summoner led the way through Lindblum's Business District, pointing out interesting places and sharing her inexhaustible knowledge. Just as they came into the square, she paused and suggested, "Let's go check out the synthesist's shop! I want to look for something!"

She pointed to the shop, then without waiting for much of an answer, started driving their little caravan of two in that direction.

Humming quietly to herself as she took a giant bite out of the purple apple she brought, the flower girl came to a slow halt once she noticed the shop nearby. Taking another munch from that delicious dumbapple, the girl tossed it towards the nearest trash bin as she wandered inside of the shop. While she really didn't have anything in mind that she wanted synthesized, Aerith wondered if the blacksmith inside could be able to enhance the new flute-like weapon she found within Memoria.

"Oh, hello!" She greeted with a happy smile. "You...are a blacksmith, right?" Aerith asked a tad hesitantly at the younger girl who stood behind the counter. While she doubted that this girl could possibly be older than sixteen or seventeen, Aerith hoped Refia could be of some help to her.

“Oh, wait. You are a synthesizer, not a blacksmith.” She giggled softly at her own mistake. “I am still trying to get used to the terms people use around here.”

Having had a few frustrating minute with the door and his lack of thumbs, Nanaki entered the shop, careful not to slam his flame-tipped tail in the door. "I was wondering if you could perhaps make specialized equipment." He wouldn't say more until he learned if this girl would force him out of the shop for his appearance, but he hoped that she could help.
