Seeking magitech engineers

[ In a rare display, Emet-Selch opts to appear in person. This is important enough to warrant an appearance, he thinks.

The backdrop appears to be a cabin on a ship somewhere. He fills most of the screen so there's not much of significance to be gleaned from it. His posture is relaxed, fingers interlaced loosely before him on the table that his shellphone sits upon. ]


Greetings, one and all.

I and Rem Tokimiya of the Raiders of the Lost Arts are seeking engineers to assist with the development of an engine. 'Tis past time we made a concerted effort to develop one. Inevitable, I would say, as this world has progressed to magical trinkets. We have examined schematics of an old pirate ship and seek to eventually put it to practical use to improve the fleets of both paladins and corsairs.

[ He pauses. It looks as though he wants to add something but he seems to think better of it. ]

Send word to either myself or Rem if you are interested in contributing to the work. While an engine capable of powering a ship is our eventual goal, 'twill be enough to make something on a smaller scale for now - such as heaters for winter or automatic fans for summer.

[This is a far stretch but Denji the simpleton had to ask because he kind of misses television and promised someone he would show them what a video game is if it was possible here in Escordvi.]

Do ya think you could ever make a TV!?

Not an engineer, but I know a thing or two about engines.

[ Because Cloud doesn't really let people touch his bike. ]

[ Zelda nearly drops her phone in surprise and excitement when she hears Rem's name. This is him! The person she was telling Zelda about! The one she's working with on those amazing engine schematics she showed Zelda the day they met on the boardwalk!

Everything after "seeking engineers to assist with the development of an engine" kind of goes unheard as the princess fumbles with her shellphone. Where is that live camera function again? (This interface is so unintuitive compared to the Purah Pad.)

So the video call Emet-Selch receives begins with a moment of Zelda staring with furrowed brows until she realizes she's got it working correctly, upon which time she immediately brightens up like some kind of living ray of sunshine. ]


Yes, hello, can you see me all right? I understand you are seeking engineers?

You don't know what a television is man?

You know...A screen where you watch movies and play video games on!?

Sure if that is what you call them back home sounds basically like the same thing to me!

[A blacksmith or goldsmith, huh? It's a good thing Denji has the perfect person in mind most likely capable of both those things! Especially after bestowing jewelry making tools to the man upon his birthday none too recently.]

Yo I know just the guy! His name is Cid and he's super nerdy in a good way and knows how to do all this kind of shit. I'm sure he would be willing to help us out!

Well here's hoping he agrees I want a TV to play video games on man! I bet I'm not the only one who would like that too!

You're speaking my language! I've made an engine before, been wanting to do the same here too. I don't have any of the same relics I used back home to do it here, but I'm sure I can source something if I really try.

Hey I'll take it! I don't know anything about how to make an engine or TV but if you need an extra set of hands I'm your guy.

I suppose it would depend on the type of engine, but I'd be happy to help out. The technology here is...a little different than what I'm accustomed too, but I've worked with Rem before.

[What might be of more interest to Emet-Selk is the robot suitcase floating behind Kaveh in frame of his camera--Mehrak is currently helping sort and put away books, but she's still visible in the frame.]

Zelda, Pr- [ In her excitement, Zelda nearly forgets that she's supposed to be keeping her royal title a secret. (It's just not safe to be a princess without a guard around all these pirates.) ] -p-pleased to make your acquaintance. I take it you are Emet-Selch?

[ Seems like a safe assumption for a display name like "emet-sulk." ] I am a friend of Rem Tokimiya's. She recommended I get in contact with you regarding the engine schematics you mentioned.

You're right. But I'm pretty confident I can pick up on the things I don't know fast.

It's difficult. The inclusion of riftfarer technology muddies it, and it does not progress the same.

[He sighs a little, and leans on his hand.] These shellphones, for example--the network reminds me much of the Akasha terminals, though with far more limited access to information. But the Akasha could not send live video; movies and film are being developed in Fontaine, but they're not common among the other nations yet.

[He thinks to himself a bit.] I suppose it's most accurate to say our advances are prioritized differently--I would put much of Teyvat as ahead of this place, and the civilizations that fell far beyond it, but outside Fontaine, machinery isn't a high priority for scientific advancement. Largely to do with the fact Khaen'rian war machines still roam the land killing people some five hundred years after their masters are dead and buried--it seems a bit like folly to pursue the same technology, with the way that ended.

Depends on what kind of engine. I'm not skilled in developing one for ships, I do have experience with fixing machines.

[And you know. Washing machines and vacuums because a certain sister keeps breaking them.]

[Your resident blacksmith it very interested.]

You want to develop a magitech engine to fit the ships of this world? Or just one ship in particular?
