EvilHat & Deepforge
Deepforge
Hey, I heard you have a knack for turning people around like iron around a hammer. Mind if we talk about a blade that could bend wills? I’ve been experimenting with alloys that might make a sword as persuasive as your words.
EvilHat
Sounds intriguing, you know how a well‑tuned alloy can make a blade feel almost like a spoken promise. What’s the composition you’re experimenting with?
Deepforge
I’m mixing a fine‑grained steel with a hint of the unusual. Roughly 0.8 % carbon for hardness, 1.2 % manganese for toughness, a sliver of chromium to give a subtle sheen, and just a pinch of vanadium to keep the grain fine. The alloy’s heat‑treated to lock in the bend, then quenched and tempered so it can take a hard strike yet flex a whisper of promise. I’m not just forging a blade, I’m tuning a tongue.
EvilHat
Sounds like a spell in steel, and you’re the wizard. I’ll keep an eye on it—maybe I’ll trade you a few words for a test swing. Just don’t forget, the true blade’s in the mind, not the metal.
Deepforge
Sounds fair. I’ll give you a swing, and you’ll give me the back‑handed wisdom. Just remember, the steel holds the shape, the mind keeps the truth. We'll see which one stays sharper.
EvilHat
I’ll see how your alloy reacts to a real strike, and I’ll show you how a well‑timed word can bend even the hardest steel.
Deepforge
Alright, bring the blade and the sentence, and let’s see which one bends first. I’ll keep the hammer ready, you keep the words sharp.
EvilHat
Bring the steel, I’ll bring the words—let’s see who breaks first.
Deepforge
Steel’s ready, words are your test. Let’s see which cracks first.
