"Ah! Hello, friend. Call me Ren, and be welcome to The Knight Shift. We aim to provide for as many of Aincrad's players' weapons needs as we can. Please, sit a while and tell me your tale while I work. It's always nice to meet someone new." Peering over the order form, the white-haired smith smudged more soot across his slender features in a vain effort to wipe away heavy and persistent layers of toil. The shop had been busy. A good busy, and steadily too. It felt nice to feel like his efforts were making a difference. Hammering and chatting at the same time, it felt like the two

"Three and a half..." Eyes wide, the white-haired smith let the orbs drift down to the disparate items left on his counter, along with hastily scrawled... something... that pretended to be guiding instructions. They looked more like the sort of scribbles his roommates used to leave when they were too lazy to go do the grocery shopping, and too cheap to actually tell him what they actually needed, leaving him to guess and ultimately foot the bill. "Uh... hi?" It was a start, his brain still struggling to figure out how to transfur the coat onto the other shell without compromising its

It took Ren a minute to figure out where the voice was coming from, the ambient din of forge and smithy normally drowning out any such possible clarity, until he spotted his latest customer at the counter and could fathom what was at play. "Oh! Sign? That's astounding! I never realized that the system could translate. Huh..." he paused, as if lost in quandary. "Forgive me for asking, if the nerve gear is already reading your mind to let you control your avatar, and able to process your thoughts, why can't it enable you to think to speak?" Ren blushed, awkwardly, having blurted out h

Work completed, Ren wiped the sweat from his soot-stained brow as he watched an apprentice tenderly prepare the freshly wrought wares for their new owners. In a rush to forge and form the armor, he realized he'd taken liberties without verifying first and hoped she would be pleased with the results. They seemed true to the intent of her original order, with a bit of extra context and history tacked on. Such was his 'thing' after all, the mostly white-haired smith driving his adventuring companions mad as he strode to study every bit of lore they came across. Most couldn't understand why he

Spirits lifted by a new commission from a returning customer, Ren set himself to work immediately, crafting the piece with meticulous care. Even as he worked fine filigree into the flat of the blade, he admired the artistry of the request and found himself surprised by his degree of precision. Maybe practice did lead closer to perfection, after all? "Your will, m'lady." Bowing as he presented the hafted blade, he'd always been one to appreciate a bit of dramatic flare and found her formal bearing and manner endearing and strangely familiar. "I've adjusted the length and weight balance

Ren had only just returned from floor 9, his arctic white hair covered in more soot than usual and the whole of him smelling like scorched dog. Tossing the ruined remnants of his own table-sized shield in the corner, he glossed over how its individual pieces further crumbled and collapsed into the least ceremonial pile of kindling imaginable. Not the best ending to one of his first works, and an embarrassment in the field. He was far from prepared to turn and find a customer waiting with an order, and an uncharacteristic air of formality and distinction about her. If the curtsy had his

"KyotO, right? It has, indeed! Glad to see you've been making your way through the castle with success. Onwards and upwards. Let me see what you've brought us." Spinning the order around to glance across its requirements, Ren's matted white hair stuck to his brow with sweat as he nodded affirmation and understanding. "Bear with me for just a short time. I believe we have what we need to make these quickly." Gathering his fellow craftsmen and walking through the required tasks, each set to work and returned promptly for final assembly.

"Holy... I'm out of my league here." Watching both women work, each utterly decimating an entire wave of overclocked hot dogs, he found his eyes wide as saucers and his back sweltering in the barbecue casing surrounding his torso. Lacking Arabelle's finesse or Acanthus' raw strength, he was forced to improvise. Hefting his table-sized shield with both hands, he swung the unwieldly slab around just in time to catch the final hound mid-leap. Momentum swung the rest of his body round in full rotation, sending his shield flying from his hands. It was pure dumb luck that allowed him to keep pu

"You're a total nutjob. You know that right?" Fishing around in a morass of softest flower shrapnel, Ren fished up his smaller companion, who was still laughing his ass off. "Makes this batch seem a bit redundant, I suppose, but it's the sentiment that counts. Right?" Summoning his meager comparative donation to hand, he turned to hand them to Hiten only to spot the NPC's legs sticking up in the air, a spray of potpourri-blasted purple hair fanned out in full radial glory in all directions pointing away from Jeeves. "Umm... are you alright?" A hand shot up from the pile, thu

Compared to their other stops, Ren was in a state of utter bliss at the sight of Ordsea. Even Ronbaru's cultural treasures paled in their appeal at the sight of so much learning and lore. Like a kid in a candy store, he ran between libraries and lecture halls faster than a gaggle of kids between doors on Halloween, gorging his curiosity at every stop along the way. "We have to stay here awhile," he practically begged the others, returning to their rally point bearing an untold number of scrolls and manuscripts. "You're free to remain as long as you like, Ren. The rest of us have b

Fighting with renewed vigor, Ren actually beat Freyd to the last of their foes, slashing the bandit clean in half with his greatsword. "What's gotten into you?" The Whisper hadn't seen this much zeal in his companion's heart since they'd left Ronbaru. "Maybe I just found my muse?" Coy, but honest. It simply wasn't in the man to lie, though he'd insist on some degree of privacy. Freyd already knew the story anyway, the two having discussed it shortly after their first meeting. Ren always suspected that the cunning captain knew more than he'd let on, before ever asking, but he'd t
