Great, what’s next? I could do this all day.

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

Well, I gotta spin a planet! Wanna watch!!??

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*The impact knocks a brass cube off the shelf, which bursts into a set of gears, springs, metal arms, and tiny squares etched with some kind of quasi-regular pattern*
Very good.
*Nods, impressed, and then picks up an individual piece of ammunition and inspects it closely with the looking glass*

*looks at Zoey then reads the room*

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*The round seems to just be some kind of metal alloy, at least as a coating*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Another cube similar to the one that fell off the shelf skitters from my pocket and down my coat, with an appearance not unlike a brass spider with the corner of the cube facing the ground, and shuffles its way into the impact zone to retrieve the remains of the bullet*
How much?

*Whispers*
How are your negotiation skills?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Grabs your shoulder and turns you around, whispering back to you while facing away*
It’s just occurred to me that I have no clue what the buying power of the money we’re asking for is.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Nods and glances up, as if pondering something, and then whispers back*
Don't worry, I think I can get us a fair price. A nice mini-wardrobe is going to be at least 15 coppers, so we need to stay above that.

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Nods*
Counting on you.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

*Turns around with an expression only marginally more intense than my normal face and slams my hand on the table with enough to make noise but intentionally not enough to result in a splinter*
We're in the market for a fair price. What've you got?

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Ah, yees. Fair price...
*Rubs my beard*
Ye know what ye have. I geeve one price, very fair. Twenty silvers for all.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

And what about minus the stuff from this case?
*Puts a hand on the opened case as a gesture*

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Mmm...
*Scratches my cheek with my index finger*
I don like compromisees. All or noting. But I trow een trinket.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

What kind of trinket?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Turns around to rummage through my shelves, mumbling to myself, and grabs a fist-sized brass pyramid before setting it on the table*
Here. Reusable flar. Ne’er before released.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

Reusable flare?
*Carefully picks it up and turns it over in my hand*
How's it work?

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Ye set the flar on ground, press the top‘n let er fly. Flar comes back to ground, ye fill er up wit powder, repeat. Pre-production item.

<Snipped quote by Webmaster>

I was really considering keeping the gun. But it sounds like your deal’s so good that I just can’t say no.
