When we got home I made a specialized workshop in my trunk room. I had bought a book on puppets from the Naruto world and was going to build one for my shadow.
There are a few things we should know about puppets the first is you can't be a fucking moron and build it completely out of metal do you know why?.... cause metal is fucking heavy except for orichalcum. *expertly stuffs full adamantium puppet into storage* Even children know about this. I mean it's not like Chakra Threads can hold thousands of pounds. I buy myself a basic puppet kit from the store and start swapping out bits and bobs. The first thing to switch would be the frame oak is nice and all but ironwood from game of thrones world is even better. we replace some of the more fragile parts with better quality pieces. It's kind of like taking apart a bionicle or a Lego ship and just giving it better blocks. a few join pieces here and there for improved mobility and grip replace the iron springs with some that are vibranium for better shock resistance.
next comes basic rebuilds for personal goodies. we've added a nice assassin's creed style hidden blade on the arms. along with a few different types of items in the fingertips from small smoke pellets, to poison gas pellets to sleeping darts. next up hidden inside the forearm is a long spike attached to wires with a propulsion system to fire it. this is for both arms including the outer blades. Next we have a Tang style zhuge crossbow stuffed into the mouth compartment along with ammo with a built in speed loader custom made with 100 darts for refill.
The chest I simply reinforced and added in spare parts for just in case purposes like a spare arm or leg so if it breaks we have an easy snap on replacement no need to store it for later. the legs have basic knee blades that retract along with the elbows. we don't want things to snag. the upper thighs have a smaller needle shooter all attached to acromantula thread with a wind up system for easy retrieval and reload. now I could be a complete and total cunt and fill this all with goblin steel soaked in basalisk venom. but to prevent accidents I went a slightly less instant death style. with basic poisons and paralyzing agents. we replaces the basic hands wrists and feet with options to make it be able to do hand to hand fighting if need be with rubber soles to prevent slipping and sliding and add more stealth. it's all mithril for less repair costs for now. as adamantium is too heavy and vibranium is too expensive and cheaty. we want a good starter puppet not to build a god.
next we do what every boy is thinking. we make this bitch look cool. I'm talking sweet rope lights to fill in some gaps and make the whole thing glow along with replacement eyes. and a sweet hooded cloak so all you can see is glowing blue eyes and random flicks of blue between the joints. all of this is then coated in anti rust, anti mold, and anti decay style finisher. I debated painting flames on it to make it go faster but decided against it cause it would just be too powerful.
We trade let our new group head to the dungeon it's minus the assassin but added a puppetmaster. we shall see how it works out and what to add and fix later. all the shadows have been given up too mithril for now so basically 2 upgrades. mage are doing fine the materia is growing well. it's getting close to level 3. all in all we've added about 13 shadows in a little over a month we have 2 new groups adding in a sword and shield style attacker and a magic gun user to not have to deal with ammo. It can be charged with dungeon crystals or the shadows mp for restock on the go. the rest of the shadows buy slaves for the kingdom it's a lot more costly here but it gets new species and people in need to the kingdom where slavery is fucking banned. I've gotten everything from cat people to amazonians even pure blooded elves. they were shocked because my air is like 20 times more pure then their sacred forest and has the same amount of mana density hahahaha. elves here are kind of pricks like the malfoys of the kingdom they even sell their own people. they have that whole I'm better than you my bloodline is pure I live in a tree attitude. nobility pssh.
well after a few hours of build your own puppet. It was time to settle down for the night and get some dinner. I put down the custom guns I was playing with on the workbench and begin my hunt for food.
I decided on basic tacos you know, taco meat, tortilla shells, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, a bit of salsa. delicious. we have a small side of tortilla chips with salsa and cheese to dip in. with my favorite mt.dew baja blast.
after that it's time for bed and I enjoy a good old time on YouTube watching those bet you'll laugh compilations. meanwhile being used as a hug pillow by hestia. little did I know in the morning I would be visited by a demon.
