Some people wouldn't pay anything for it, others might pay, say, anywhere from 10 to 15 widgets." I shrugged. That's all we'd need, really.." I looked around.

The Dark Chronicler Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC: Drome "Yeah, let's find ourselves a bar. Maybe sell it to someone who has had a little... more alcohol than they should have." I suggested. If the person at the bar was drunk enough to buy the little stone Miru, then obviously we were doing them a favor, and cutting back their drinking money.

Cadias Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC: Kadon I winced as Drome let loose. There was a moment of silence as the customers processed what Drome had said, then the lull in voices ended. I sat down at a table that looked as though it could use a good scrubbing while I waited for people to make offers on the carving, which Drome had shamelessly exaggerated. My BZPRPG Characters!

The Dark Chronicler Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC: Drome So maybe it was a slight exaggeration. If it helped get a few widgets, I was perfectly fine with that. "Only... three were ever made!" I pulled the little stone Miru from my pocket, holding it for all to see. "I'll give you a widget for it." "Only one widget? Surely it is worth at-least thirty!"

The Lorax Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC (Matan and Natan):The two Skakdi watched impassively as the funeral procession moved on past the Turaga’s hut. It was no unusual thing for a Skakdi of Zakaz to see a comrade die, so the death of some unknown matoran did not bother them as much as it did others in the crowd. What was interesting was that the dead matoran seemed to have been someone of importance, and that made the parade worth watching. When various parties had left to spread news of the death and prevent others from occurring, they approached the Turaga’s hut once again.Approaching the Turaga, the two Skakdi inclined their heads to the elder, and Matan spoke for the pair."Greetings, Turaga, and our consolations about losing your matoran friend. My brother Natan and I have but recently landed on this island, but already we can see the greatness of your realm. All around us, beings of all races prosper under your guidance." In the Skakdi's experience, it pays to keep your leader happy, and buttering them up gets you what you want. "Seeing this, we wish to raise a home for ourselves in your village. By the standards of our race, we are neither troublemakers nor anti-social. Also, we bring to your community skills of great worth, even as these toa here can attest, for we both are crafters and weapon smiths of some skill. See, we have restored their armor this morning, and would be glad to trade our services to others of the village."Here he gestured to the Toa Hyfeik, who had accompanied them since their meeting the previous evening. Matan tried to be as eloquent as possible while making his case. He needed the Turaga to see them as an asset to the village, not a liability to the fragile peace."Therefore, please grant us this request. We seek your leave to build ourselves lodging here in Le-koro, as well as a workshop where we may ply our trade. In return, we offer you our loyalty as warlord and will submit to your rule while under the shade of your forest. What say you?"What the Skakdi had said was true. Le-koro seemed a nice enough place, and it would be good to have the security of a place to live and work in, at least for now. There was still a lot the pair wanted to see and do of this strange island - they did not intend to stay permanently in the village of air, but it was as good a place to start as any, and it seemed prudent to have a recourse should their future activities require it.

Cadias Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC: Kadon I looked at the customer. "Look, I'll cut you a special deal. It's clear you drive a hard bargain, and I can respect that. After all, you indubitably knew it was worth more than one widget yet thought you might same some money, and took the chance," I said, shamelessly buttering him up. We didn't need many widgets to secure a room and a meal. "So, here's my offer: 20 widgets.""10.""18.""13.""15, and that's my final offer."He hesitated. "Well..." OOC: OK, TDC.

"He's from an undiscovered species, until now!" The buyers eyes went a little wider. "I guess I could pay fifteen." He shuffled around, pulling out the widgets from his bag. I grinned, exchanging the money for the garbage. It was a good, good deal. As I exited the bar, I heard the person speaking to someone else. "Yeah, I've never seen one like it before." "I'm actually a Arachnologist. And that Toa was telling the truth, this is an undiscovered species! I will pay you one hundred widgets for it!" I hated my life some times.

I looked around at what other people were eating, having no idea what was availiable. After a few moments, I ordered my meal. "I'll have a bowl of soup.""Ten widgets, please."I grimaced and handed over the widgets, having only two left. My BZPRPG Characters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Chronicler Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 IC: Drome "Ten widgets..." I muttered rather surprised to myself. "Stupid inflation..." "I'll have a Mata Nui cow burger." I decided upon, after a little thought. "That will be seven widgets." I almost thought about trying to haggle down the food. But, I knew it was going to be overpriced after Kadon ordered. I removed the widgets, paying the waiter for my food. "Nothing better than sleeping outside... except reasonably priced food. Sadly, the latter has gone extinct."

The soup arrived, and was in a bigger bowl than I had expected. I tasted it. "Not bad. The cook knows how to make his soup."I ate the soup, thinking.

Probably more than i could afford on eight widgets...And if we needed more money, it was Kadon's turn to sell something. I found myself already missing the little wooden Miru.

So if any people are nearby...Welllllllllllllllll...EDIT: No, that part of the post isn't just for interaction with those in the area who see. It's also showing something that any person going 'OMG Aexias wuz stripping' will probably not pick up on ;}IC: Finally, the turtle was done. Aexias stalked through the woods toward the campfire. She'd unzipped the front of her jumpsuit for comfortableness, and now as she sat right before the fire and carefully moved out the scorched shell to crack open with her swords, she felt the full heat of the fire heating her chest and stomach.Aaaaaaaaaah...How long has it been since that spot was last warmed? Dousing the fire with water she'd prepared beforehand, the assassin retreated back into her leanto. The shell opened beneath the advances of blade and Skakdi strength as though it was naught more than a bula berry. Now zipping up her front once more, she daintily carved up the meat and began to eat it off her swords.Mmm, good. Note to self: Need to eat more Shore Turtle when in civilization, mentally sighed the skakdi as she chewed through mouthfuls, thirty a time. The meat really was delicious. Of course, no reason it shouldn't have been when she'd been on the run for several years before. Edited November 3, 2011 by The Fearless Leader [Profiles] Wisdom. Restraint. Emptiness.

The problem would be not hurting her. I was a lot larger than a Matoran, and not use to stopping people without the use of my mace. I could use my Morning Star... but killing the Matoran was really the complete opposite of helping her, and the Toa code.Sometimes, I wish I could just smash something, not try to catch a Le-Matoran, the most agile and slippery of all, with just my hands. I should think about saving up for a net later.And then there was a thud. I silently moved a little closer to the location of the sound, still masking my noise.
