- Making a Gift:
It was a day of reflection for Ataru, a day of serene peace. The first thing he needed to accomplish today was merging all the new gear he had acquired together, he gathered up his latest shipment. He was sure his friend would be more than thrilled to see the gift that he made him. It was time that he started showing the world what he was capable of, Ataru was done with being thrown around the seas by random crews. When he met he would ask to serve under him, as long as his principles hadn’t been morphed too much. Pulling out the leather gloves Ataru, grabbed his latest shipment of dials. He wanted to put the thunder in the right and the axe blade in the left. He examined the holes and thought better than putting the dials in them. It would take too much work since the holes were already made, instead he looked at the top portion of the gloves. He had his toolkit out and his jeweler glasses on it was important to be precise when using material like leather, it wasn’t as a blunt approach as his gauntlets. He flexed and tensed the leather gloves in his hands feeling how it would tug which way and that from weight. Wear and tear would most definitely happen in the lifespan of gloves like these and that had to be taken into account as well. Ataru wondered if every craftsmen considered such things as he carefully measured the distance. Ataru was well versed in the math necessary to accurately estimate the best placement of the dial on the upper portion of the glove in a way that it wouldn’t effect the wearer in comfort. He attached it to the glove shaving of parts here and there barely noticing the effort it took this was muscle memory at this point. As he finished with the thunder dial he took up the axe dial. He looked at it earnestly in the sunlight dials always had the most beautiful designs. Even after seeing more than probably multiple men's lifetime Ataru still loved every design. The very power of nature, instills its power in every piece. He was already shaving away at the axe dial as he finished his quasi prayer in his head to dials. It wasn’t unusual for him to get wrapped up in his work. Ataru was now measuring the gloves even when he does get wrapped up the muscle memory kicks in. The process should be a flawless and Ataru made sure that with every product that was insured. He finished up the placement then got his drill out creating the holes he needed in order to create a seamless activation mechanism. When the user put on the gloves their fingers would go through the holes where the dial and fingers meet. To activate the dial the user would have to press at the joints specifically. This was for two reasons one it gave his Dial the skew needed for easier pressure and it allowed it further back from the fist. With this method the user could make a fist with no worries of activating it and throw a punch if necessary. It was another flawless Minstrel production he got the brand out and put the insignia in each glove’s inside tiny and barely noticeable. He wrapped up the gift to give to his friend.
As Ataru emerged from his captain quarters on the sub after finishing his gift. HE thought back to the night before when he received an interesting transmission on his Den Den. It seemed that one of his training day friends from back in the revolution was on island. Furthermore he sent a message arranging a meeting at a bar a town an hour or so away from the port he was at. He told Rosa he was off to do work that he'd call when he was headed back. He was in his typical attire for the cold he had started to become acclimated. It was going to be a long walk to the town, Ataru didn't like meeting to near his sub for trust reasons. That's when some snow from a tree hit him and changed his mind. Shivering as he walked he made it to the town at a pretty average rate. The walk had warmed him a tiny bit but he was still a shivering a tiny bit. He would clench his teeth in closer while walking into the arranged bar.
It was a typical hole in wall establishment, only one story with a possible basement Ataru couldn't be sure until he went inside. The sign outside it read the Rusty Flaggard, the wood of the sign was slowly peeling back. In a couple years it wouldn't be surprising if the carving was so deteriorated a name wouldn't be decipherable. This was his preferred scene for a social meeting, mostly because the drinks would be cheap. Ataru hadn't drank with someone in quite some time, especially since he doesn't like to drink during business deals. Only one or two to keep the other party trusting, he chuckled at his own thoughts as he pushed open the bar door.
He was greeted with the usual cacophony of drinkers, walking straight up to the bar keep he ordered himself some rum. Glancing around the bar he could see that it was a small establishment only 2,000 square feet at most. There were a couple tables littered around with no particular organization. He would sip it slowly while taking a seat at the bar. There was an empty seat to his left which he would save for his friend, the guy to the right struck up conversation with Ataru. Not really paying him to much mind Ataru carried on the conversation. He found it nice to act like everyone else every so often.
