NOVEL NEXT Chapter 9: The Storm (9)
Matt kept on writing his lore for the planet and its empire, supplementing it with history and culture while adding a dark background with the dark fogged figure as the center, the story integration was quite smooth.
Too smooth, it made Matt feel as if the universe of INTERGALACTIC really wanted this story and its characters to be born, this universe was in for a surprise, a surprise so big itll end up bringing the other empires within its lore to their knees.

Meanwhile George side.
"Eddie, Edward, Edwardino~ hows the monitoring of Mattias-Meraccus Productions been? Any good news? Anything we can steal?"
"I havent found a single sign of movement from them sir, its as if they went off the radar, i can only assume theyre using the anonymity functions of the websites, on the good news, it seems INTERGALACTIC is growing nicely, many people are paying for multiverse branches and some are even paying to build a story within the main lore"
"Thats good~ on the note on Matt keep a close eye on that fool, money is not an object when it comes to stealing his stuff"
"Okay sir but then again sir, why are you stealing everything he is making?"
"That question is way too above your pay grade Edwardo, just do what i say"
George exited the monitoring room, the room was located in his home so it was easy to go in and out, he couldve hired a hacker to try and track Matt but with the Megahive cosmic computer guarding all the Holocoms in existence it was an impossible endeavor.
"My names Stewart though..."

Screaming Eagle Productions.
Office Building.
In an office a large male with a cubic face and bald head was talking to a smaller female with less than impressive curves and was in a pony tail, she was average in looks.
"Are you sure you want to invest your monthly quota on a single Toymaker that could possibly be a scam?"
"Yes sir, id like to put some trust on promising upstarts sir and this Fun Haus has a good concept, ive read up on the lore of the figures and i believe it will be a nice addition to our lore world sir"
"Indeed, space sci-fi has been booming quite a bit lately, you said they promised a single custom figure right?"
"Yes sir"
"Good thatll make the price worth it, first make sure you get the figures and then if you do we will hold a meeting on what the custom figure will be, our Loremakers need to be present and the ideas for the figure must he one that can make us money, but most of all our products must be entertaining, i cannot stress it enough how many companies went bankrupt because they forgot how to entertain the masses"
"Understood sir, ill inform you as soon as the figures arrive and ill bring them to you as well"
"Good, dismissed, bring in the next proposal"

Four days passed and as jeff got more proficient with the carving of the clone troopers he was able to finish the 5 armors and some storm troopers, he coated them with anti beam paint and coating, he gave up on the strap locks and went with strong magnetic strips to put the armor together, this cost him 200 coins for 1 sheet that was 18"x10".
The clay arrived 2 days ago and today he was gonna start creating the figures that will wear the armor, although the armor was uniform in size it was easy to make them fit on the figure, if theres a lot of space then either make the figure bulkier or add more cloth, or even just leave it be.
He didnt need to do any of those though since the male figures he made for the clones were almost identical in body measurements, he grabbed the clay and began to mold the body shape of the trooper, it was just the general body shape for now, details would come later.
He had a lot of tools ready but the most he used to create the figures shape was mostly a modelling spatula and water to keep the clay from quickly drying, he added grooves and musculature to the clay sculpture.
It was to give the figure a natural looking body, he then after doing so carved out the areas where he was gonna put articulation, separating the into multiple pieces and sections that he will later on put together, ball joints were usually used but it was discovered that the less open a figures joints was the better the results so people opted for complicated joints of varying styles.
Jeff was so laser focused on the figure that he forgot to eat and it was the next morning when he finished the first figure, he looked at his creation just missing some detail to make it perfect, for him anyway.
He wet the spatulas edge and then began to add more detail to the figure, he didnt care if he hadnt eaten yet at all, all he cared for was that he was gonna finish this figure first, his first proper creation as a Toymaker ever since he got to this world.
It took another 4 hours for him to finish and after he did he suddenly passed out on the table, ofcourse multiple days of not sleeping and high focus was bound to take a toll on a person both physically and mentally, luckily the figure was safe.
