Okay...

[The voice that's picked up behind the view finder of the communicator is soft and a little out of breath, a strange jumble of obvious nerves as the hands trying to set things up properly without anything falling over are shaking no matter how much Ana tries to calm herself.

This was different than starting a guild. A lot more went into legitimate businesses than she realized.

But it's here, and ready, and the shot for the moment is focused on what appears to be a collection of rough made but sturdy battle dummies and targets set up beneath a wooden covered awning.

Ana steps in front of the range once the camera is steady, holding her shimmering bow in one hand and tucking some wayward red curls behind her ear with the other, dressed in her leather armor. She gives a sheepish wave, face flushed both from awkwardness and having been rushing around before this moment.]


Hello, Lunatia! And... other locations! I wanted to announce that today my brother, friend and I have successfully opened up our own business! It's... a bit different than what's usually around here, but we decided to bring a bit of Tyrian flare to the city! I mean, if you can really call it that. We all seem pretty rustic in compari--

[Someone coughs off camera to keep her from rambling, and she stands up straighter.]


R-right! So, yes, I am welcoming you all to Crystal Dragon Creations... and Archery Range!

[She steps back a bit to show the targets again.]

After a bit of talking among ourselves and with some others around the city we realized there wasn't much in the way for those of us who practiced archery as far as a place to practice was concerned, but rather than just build a range and hope for the best we also decided to include our own crafting skills from home. I specialize in gear for huntsmen which includes leatherworking, short and long bows and some basic firearms. My brother Rurik is fantastic with heavy armors and melee weaponry, and our friend Asteffiel is skilled with artificing - that is more magical based weaponry - and lighter wear. We can repair just about anything, and craft just about anything! ... within reason, of course, but we won't know unless we try!

[She can't really think of anything else to say, so she bounces back to the camera and picks it up, but rather than shutting it off she turns it until it's facing her now with an arm around her brother's upper arms as she grins mischievously.

Naturally he looks. Very confused.]


By the way, this guy is still pretty new and totally single.

ANA!

[Click!]

[ooc: Forgot to link the info page! Not there's much more to it compared to what Ana has already stated, but there are journal names for the other two employees and a link to how crafting is done in Guild Wars 2 via the wiki! Aaaand. Some pictures. Yup.]

Ah, an archery range is a fine idea. Will you be providing bows and arrows as well?

Would you be up for allowing those of us who use ranged attacks that aren't archery-based to practice at your shop?

You work with leather? ...Anything fancy?

Hm, then I'll have to visit sometime and see what you have an offer. Or at least to practice. Will you also be doing memberships?

Got a knife that needs a sheath. I'd make it myself, but it's a nicer blade than my usual. I can do serviceable, when it comes to this; never tried pretty.

... My Aether attacks could potentially pose that issue, yes, to be honest. It's part of why practicing with them is kinda difficult.

It could certainly help you as far as a business is concerned.

i've never heard of archery before. is it a type of shooting/

[ While Roxas is familiar with arrowguns, he's never seen an actual arrow before. ]
terribletwos: (if it never existed)

[personal profile] terribletwos 2020-09-10 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
sure. i've never seen those bow things before.

Sure. [And, judging by the scenery from her video:] Somewhere by the groves, right?
terribletwos: (i could do seven days)

Oh how interesting. Long range weaponry? I will readily consider that this isn't my usual form of defence. I prefer hands on. Do any of you plan on teaching the craft of long range weaponry as well? While I'm sure I could practice, a tenured hand would be much more helpful.

Running a business of any sort always seemed rather difficult and beyond me in truth.

[Though her mind did flash to those two Sakura girls who ran the stores back home. Was it actually all that complicated?]

A guild though. Did you do something similar back in your home world?
