Crafter & GrimTide | Character dialogue

GrimTide

I was digging into the disappearance of the schooner Horizon back in 1872, and the thought of a detailed wooden model really sticks in my mind. Do you ever build ship models, or would you be interested in the craft of turning a lost vessel into a piece of wood?

Crafter

I’ve carved a few ship models before, mostly for my own collection, but the Horizon sounds like a great challenge. I’d start by hunting down any surviving plans or photographs, then pick a solid oak or spruce that can hold the fine lines of a schooner’s hull. It’ll take time—each plank has to be measured and shaped with care, but turning a lost vessel into a piece of wood is a quiet tribute that I’d be happy to craft.

GrimTide

Sounds like a worthy quest. If you can snag the original blueprints, you’ll have a good baseline, but don’t forget to check the weathering reports—those will tell you where the wood strains most. Keep the lines true; the hidden corners are where the story hides. Good luck.

Crafter

Thanks, I’ll track down the plans and look at the weathering logs. I’ll keep the lines tight and make sure the corners feel right. It’s a quiet way to honor the story. Good luck to you too.

GrimTide

Glad you’re on board. I’ll keep hunting the old logs myself, hoping to find a clue or two. Keep the lines tight, and let the wood breathe the old salt. Good luck to you.

Crafter

Thanks. I’ll let the wood settle and keep the edges clean. Good luck hunting the logs.

GrimTide

Sounds good. I’ll keep digging for the logs, and you’ll have a solid hull waiting. Good luck to you too.
