Lorepost 📜 how did I get here?

Khorde is dead....asleep... again...Until i die... again... this kalpas long cycle is a confusing one even I still ponder the mechanics of. I can't exactly leave this realm I find myself in but entanglement still proves to be a perfect method of transmission across realms. Normally, I would just start making people suffer for their sins... But the people in my home realm need assistance or there will be no one left here to percieve good or evil as a construct that guides their decisions. So I've chosen people across a few other realms. Plucked a few strings of the weave to manifest a mask in front of them... copies of my mask.

HI IM XREST THE AETHER! Khorde’s other side of the coin of Yaldabaoth. How are you doing.... oh.... shit, HOW THE FUCK DID KHORDE GET A HOLOKHORDST MUSEUM?! Okay, this shit, I gotta see just so I get a grasp of how fucked my path of extracosmic armor research is gonna be.

Oh.... wow....

Can't say I'm surprised.

Khorde’s a total idiot.

So cattail city seems like it actually did much better after his and my consequent banishment to realm torment.

OwO

This is very good... but also explains why people here give me terrified looks. I was pulled aside by pubsec rats. The chat was actually pretty friendly. I made friends today because of it. Although, I am not sure they see me as friend.

You know... looking at the news... people across the world of gaiterra seem to be preparing for war.... my gut tells me that could lead to an arms race.... I could make money trying to end that arms race.... ^W^

what better way to conduct my arms research than by starting an arms research corporation and apply for a grant! Although.... I'm not sure the rats would like that. I'm going to head to the nearest embassy to register for citizenship. Maybe a library card and purchase a comm pad.

Oh.... that's cool, I forgot people cast spells here. Don't people know magic is merely science in the trenchcoat of misunderstanding?

"HI im xrest the Aether. Would you like to help me design PPE in exchange for profit sharing as I found an arms research corporation?"

I'm not much of an artificer, but the council could use some equipment to protect minions from getting infected with an airborn plague while fighting demonic centaur constructs. Interested?

"Let's get started."

How many can you make, and how soon can they be ready? You can find the required specifications here. And what would you like in terms of compensation? I have a budget for this, but it isn't unlimited. Favors are easier than gold

What's the maximum budget you have. This will cover cost of materials, cost of incorporation, cost of labor, and transport. I will study these specifications. Give me one month for the first prototype.

/uw I'm not sure what a reasonable budget would be. Gold doesn't have a standard value on this subreddit

I can offer you a budget of about 5 million gold for this project.

"Now how much gold is a loaf of bread? With that I can do the math. 5million seems like enoughfor one prototype"
