All the time.
Taylor - Averatar, that blue mark reappearing on his face more often, left the Phoenixfire Estate (aka the farm) under Jib's control. That may or may not have been a wise decision. Sunume and Narqueleon still, at last notice, reside at the farm as well. Bolter is gone, and Averatar released all of his other pet rats.
So thats where the story lies...for now.
But if you want Jib to join the Brotherhood, that would be awesome. You would also be the strongest person there, for once. We could use some muscle, just in case we actually try to do any real fighting.
And Jake, making a shield is very easy. Here is how.
1 - Cut a piece of plywood to the measurements you want. Smaller shields move faster, of you can just build the max size like mine and hide behind it.
2 - Paint it before you do anything else. Trust me, painting after all of this is a bitch.
3 - Get some pipe foam from Lowes. Its in the back of the store, near the bathroom, in the plumbing supplies. You want the grey stuff with the sticky edge.
4 - Unless you want the foam color on the shield, paint the foam. A different color makes a nice outline.
5 - Fill the pipe foam full of shredded cloth, or open-cell foam, or something soft. Then affix it to the shield using the sticky stuff on there. You basically want to make sure that you cannot feel the edges of the wood without REALLY squeezing on the foam, thus filling it with crap.
6 - As for a handle, that is up to you to figure out. I reccommend something that also holds on to your upper arm, this will make it a LOT easier to carry that thing. Especially if your shield weighs 13 pounds...
There ya go, shield built. I also succeeded in making shield not look like a word anymore.
