[Well he never really thought about taking up an instrument, but since he was here and they were offering, why not? So he has the guitar, plucking away at the basic chords and melodies they provided. He's at least got the basics! That much he could do.
Learning the harder bars...
Twing ♫ twing ♪ tang—TUNG 💥
A wince when he misses the fingering and a wrong note is clearly played.]
Bit harder than it looks. Let's see it was...
[If anyone would like to share some advice, he'd be welcome to them. And eventually he'll get it down enough to have that special enchantment cast on the instrument. In his case, upon finishing playing a song, the listener will fall asleep and talk in their sleep. Really he doesn't want to actually use this on anyone so he's going to still try practicing on his own, but if someone happens to pass by and get hit, well. He'll keep your dreams safe.]

⚡ b » magitech madness
[While he had been quite enthusiastic about learning more about the magitech of this world and how it's used to better advance way of living, the inevitable path towards weaponry gives him pause. Before he wouldn't have thought much of it—natural progression of technology, and while there are fortunately no wars going on, the world is far from "safe." However, he still recalls what Mid told him before, so he has some mixed feelings.
Still, a necessity is a necessity, and perhaps if he can work on making such weaponry safe, perhaps even create non-lethal alternatives, it might make things more palpable. And this is something where his lightning may actually come in handy.
He's created some small bombs infused with his lightning and other components he's managed to engineer, and he's picked an isolated area outside of Nogard to test them. Some are pure destructive force, with thunderous explosive power. But a few smaller ones he test only spreads a small discharge of lightning set to weaken, paralyze, and/or stun the target.
Of course, the one he first tests is a bit stronger, the wooden target becoming charred when...]
That shouldn't happen. Damn, going to need a lower output...not to mention the efficiency... Well let's see if we can't at least get it to work first.
[A curious look as he turns the small sphere around in his hands before tossing it up like a ball, his levin circulating around it before it enters. Assistance in development is always welcome! Or accidentally get hit by one. Some other aspects of this he'll be working on is size, various mechanisms to launch these, and safety features, like needing a focused spark of magic to activate them.
Eventually he'll have it down and will want to take it to some live testing against monsters and bounties. So this quest can combo with a bounty!]

⚡ c » poke 'n prance
[Now this is a simple and easy quest, and he wants that Bottle of Boundless Coffee. Or two. Or however many he can get because can never have too many. Not to mention he's a lot of experience in his former years in teaching sword fighting.
So he is quite ready and willing to step up to help, a friendly if challenging grin towards his opponent, his left hand idly resting on of his two swords as he hasn't drawn his just yet.]
Let's have a bit of fun, shall we? But if you need some tips, I'd be happy to offer.

⚡ d » bounties
[There will be two bounties Cid is interested in, one with a very personal interest in.
1) Monty's Python. The moment he saw that listing, Cid knew exactly what it was. Because he and Eizen were involved in its, uh. "Release." While he's also contacted Eizen, he'll warn whoever else may be interested in it.]
Don't be fooled by its cute, cuddly facade. It's a killer and will lunge for your throat if given the chance.
[He means it, man.
2) Untitled Goose Bounty 2. WELL IF THERE'S ANY BOUNTY GOOD FOR TESTING HIS LITTLE BOMBS this would be it. Well, and his lightning in general should help with multiple damage against the heads. Since this setup can go in a lot of different ways, feel free to PM or contact and we can figure out something!]

[Open to other prompts, especially the Paladin's Gambit. Cid's laying a bit low, but he would be concerned about some of the hotheaded Corsairs making things worse. I have my plotting comment here or you can hit me up on through PM, Discord, or ![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

I'm all ears, though. What do you need?
no subject
[A low chuckle.]
I know how it sounds, but given all the cats and dogs around, I think it would a good market to try some new things in. And one thought I had was a device that could release the toy, let them chase or fetch it, and the toy can return to the device.
Assuming it doesn't get chewed up of course.
[A shrug.]
But that's just one application. Give me time and I can think of a few more.
no subject
Oh--I can do that. I'd just need to change the material for something that won't hurt them when they chew on it, that's all. Give me a few days to find a material that'll work.
