*Whispers*
How are your negotiation skills?

@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.

*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*

@Webmaster

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

*Lifts the gun out of the case, aims at a dented and scorched metal plate on the wall, and fires*

@Webmaster

*Jumps with widened eyes and throws my hands over my ears as the bullet blasts straight through the metal with its sheer power and burns into the wall, leaving mild scorch marks and smoke billowing lightly from the edges of its impact zones likely due to the properties of the round itself*

*Raises my eyebrows*
Are ye sure?

@Webmaster

Why not? Didn't even cross my mind to test it ourselves. It's good for us to know if it's still working like a charm too.

*Runs my hand across the gun’s finish*
Do she still far?

@Webmaster

*Looks over at Fairy Yellow*
Er... I don't suppose I know for sure. I'd be fine with testing it if we weren't in the city.

Ooh, a cuh-oh-uh collectahs, ah ye?
*Retrieves a small, weathered looking glass and holds it up to my eye, and lifts the more ornate items to inspect them*
Aye, fine.
*Taps a set of climbing anchors with a miniature hammer that appears comically small between my fingers*
Sturdy.

@Webmaster

You could definitely call us that.

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*Also places the case on the table and opens it up*

@Legend Begins

This stuff is a big maybe, but you can definitely still look it over at least.

Ah, I've been 'ere an age er two...
*Carefully clears off a table decorated with prospective projects and places the half-finished mechanisms back on their respective shelves*
Lettus see what ye got, shall we?

@Webmaster

*Slings the pack off my back over one shoulder, then slings it again in a second motion up onto the table*
Here we are.
*Begins pulling items from both within the pack, and strapped to the side of the pack out and displaying them on the table*
Sturdy climbing gear, mastercraft ropes, compact cooking equipment, a full tent set…
*Trails off as I’m unpacking the goods but continues to arrange them for full display, including much more such as navigation equipment, a large hunting knife of ornate aesthetic, and more*
Not to mention a pack with design sufficient to fit it all.

*Holds open the door, and on the other side sits an array of trinkets and gadgets, some themed after outdoor activities, but others clear handmade personal projects amidst the cluttered shelves*

@Webmaster

Man. This rooms absolutely oozes artisanship.

*Follows as well*
He seems nice.

@Legend Begins

I think so too!

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Mm.
*Strokes my beard*
Come wit me to the back.
*Swings upward a wooden bar on the far side of the room and steps through a plated door*

@Webmaster

*Looks at Yellow, shifts the pack’s weight on my back, then steps forward and follows the man*
