Hope he's nice.

*Rides the next sidewalk until we arrive at a store with wooden cutouts and glaring amber lights spelling out the name "Hunter's Outlet"*
With any luck.

You know the guy?

@Magnanimity

Never met him before. I've just been to the town a couple times.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

No but pulling up all the stuff to get to the clockwork underneath and having to close off streets for that is then image I had in my head.

@Magnanimity

Oh, I see.
*The sidewalk terminates at a counterclockwise rotating circle, where people get off at one of several streets that branch out like spokes*
Third on the right.

I'm just imagining closed streets because a mechanism breaks down.

@Magnanimity

I guess there's nothing to stop you from walking on it if it's not moving.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Annoying to fix a breakdown though I imagine.

@Magnanimity

I don't know how they do it. There are maintenance tunnels under the city though.
*Curved glass panes separate a variety of shops, including repair shops, barbers, and other amenities*

Sidewalk escalators...
*Is taking in the sights as I follow you around*

@Magnanimity

*Several bridges with glass walls extend above us, and a hypnotic red and black spiral marking a hospital, alongside a cinema decked out in gaudy exposed gears, clearly for show*
They're convenient for pedestrians.

*Glances around at the clocks and smiles*
You’re probably right.

@Magnanimity

If we’re heading there, I know a shortcut.
*Ducks into an alley, and on the other side is a moving sidewalk with a counterpart sliding in the opposite direction on the other side of the street, and next to where we exit is a red and amber-lacquered candy shop*

If you want to carry the case with the gun and sword you can… By the way, where are we going to say we got this from in a way that makes sense?

@Magnanimity

*Takes the case off your hands*
A faraway land, and you’re tight on money. That won’t raise many questions.
*The clocks hit the top of the hour, and scattered clock faces across the city ding in unison, harmonized with the hum of soft pipe organs*

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I do need to do that, yeah. There a good all-in-one place to get stuff appraised? Like a pawn store, or will a general trader barter like that?

@Magnanimity

There's an equipment shop down the road we can visit. Do you want me to carry any of that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

That's definitely a good way to put it.

@Magnanimity

First things first, find new clothes? I guess we need to trade for money first.
