RATE FOR WEAPONS: Half of the designated food he asks to use as currency for a large weapon. About a cup full for small weapons.
What does Eddie do with all the food? He stores it in a giant crate in his room, he and Sasha are holing up food out of paranoia of another starvation week. Old food is distributed to the general public the closer it gets to it's expiration date, so the food not just rotting away in crates.
What counts as a small weapon? Knives, knitting needles, handles, dice, switch blades, brass knuckles. Anything that can be concealed or can be held with one hand is worth two bottles of beer.
My character is new, he/she/it/zhe/hir/trololol has no food can I still get a weapon? Yes and no. If the character can somehow mooch of off someone and doesn't tell Eddie they're new they'll be charged full price. If they state their new, Eddie will charge in copious amounts of water bottles that or tell them to come back when they can afford a weapon.
If your character openly states they have nothing and AREN'T new, Eddie is willing to put a weapon on back order. So when your character comes up with food/etc, they can get their weapon made.
Can he make [This item]? Its a case by case basis honestly, if you're asking for a gun, no. If you're asking for something crazy like knitting needles, yes. It all depends on what you're asking for. Eddie primarily dabbles in bladed weapons or instruments.
Time Frame for weapons/How long does it make? In Eddie's source material he usually makes things in a brief montage, here I've lengthened it to a week/two weeks. Small weapons are usually done within a weeks time. Larger weapons take TWO weeks to make. Eddie usually has things done by Sunday. Prototype weapons usually take a day. He'll usually show a client the prototype before working on the real deal.
My character is a kid, does this mean they get stuff for free? It means the opposite really. Eddie feels guilty for occasionally making weapons for kids, but he figures it'd be better if some of the more mature ones are armed. So expect to be charged extra water bottles/food. If the child in question is openly rude or proves themselves unable to be mature, Eddie will deny their request.
What?! Eddie charged too much on my characters weapon! Why did he do that? That would be because of IC interaction. If your character was openly hostile or demanding to Eddie, they were price gouged a titch. Eddie can only be so nice for so long.
Why did Eddie refuse to make my character a weapon? Because ICly they were either extremely rude to him or he knows they're psychotic nut jobs. Eddie is extremely biased and will refuse to make weapons for anyone who pings his 'BATSHIT' alarm pretty hard.
Can my character help Eddie make weapons? Yes. If they can somehow
harness the power of the metal gods to summon fire, Eddie would just love the help. So far he has John Egbert, Harry Dresden and Sora helping him on occasion. Since Eddie's weapons making is handwaved, all help will be as well, but you're allowed to ICLY post about it or complain about Eddie being a stickler for perfection. Just talk to me first!
Why is it taking so long for him to make the weapon? Because RL ate me, so I apologize profusely for that. It is insanely my fault. If you want to hand wave them getting the weapon, go for it!
How does getting the weapon to my character usually go down? Handwave-fu primarily, but if you wish to log it, I'm game for it!
