So, it's entirely possible I should have mentioned this before apps closed, but I managed to be useless.

For the past ten months or so, Will Turner has been running the forge out by the stables. He's been the one handwavably responsible for keeping all the horses in shoes, as well as a supplier of swords and other metalwork for the bar patrons.

Soon, for reasons I'm not going into here, all that will change and he will no longer be doing any blacksmith work in the bar at all. For those patrons buying and commissioning weapons from him, they'll just have to go elsewhere. However, ICly the most important role of the Milliways blacksmith is the farrier work for the stables.

So I am looking OOCly for someone who will be able to carry on the forge after Will leaves. This isn't much of an OOC commitment (or rather, I didn't do much because I'm flaky) - but it does mean that someone is there ICly to shoe horses and such like.

So if anyone has a pup that needs a job and has any farrier experience or is willing to undergo a quick apprenticeship with Mr. Turner, please let me know?

Next month, I'm apping

corrie_go_bush - dead Aussie farm girl. She's been around horses and probably knows the basics in theory. Swords, possibly not, but she'd be willing to do the quick apprenticeship thing. If nothing else, gives her something to do.

Swords aren't in anyway necessary - just an added bonus. It's the lack of a farrier that worries me.

I'm not sure when I'm taking Will out, though. I'll let you know.

*nods* I can easily see her doing the farrier thing.

And, of course. I'll be apping her first day (I really should have apped her this time around, but lazy), but I'll keep an eye out for you)

I realize this is an older post (forgive me, I like to catch up when I've missed stuff) but this is definitely something Ryan would be interested in. He already knows the basics of working in a forge (he helps Suzi Darely in her's) and has been attempting to teach himself how to forge swords.

He would prefer a part time position, though. He doesn't want to stop helping out Suzi (for pack reasons) plus there's that whole full moon thing. Maybe he could spilt, or even third, the position with the dead Aussie farm girl?

If she doesn't mind working with a dead grumpy werewolf of the SAS, that is. 0:) If not, just let me know.

Heh, well. Will has no idea what's going to happen when he leaves bar, and he's not going to have time before going to think "oh, the door's open, I should hand over", he's just going to go.

SO. If he wants to learns swords, Will's definitely the supersmith to go to, and Will would teach him that.

Then Will disappears, and what happens then is up to the pups left behind. No reason why it can't be a grop effort. My current plan was to have Nanny sneaking the horses home for her son to fix.

How's Ryan with horses?

He's got nothing against them (like he does with dogs) but he hasn't been around them since being infected. But I would say, and this is based off of Harry Wells also being a farrier werewolf, that Ryan'd be very good at getting them to stand still.

With practice, of course. Gotta make sure you show enough teeth to make them freeze, but not enough to make them stampede.

*cackles*

Cool. Well, we can thread the beginning of an 'apprenceship' at any time, if you want.

Sometime tomorrow? By which I mean later today, seeing as how it's 2:30 in the morning and I should really go to bed. *sigh*

Score! I will put a forge post up and you can tag it when you're awake! Hooray!
