[X] "Well then, lead on little guy. What's your name anyway?"
"Well then, lead the way, buddy!" You say happily, "What's your name, anyways?"
"I'm Pyro Jack! Nice to me-hee-t you, ho!" He answers. "This way!"
Pixie rests on your head, seemingly tired of flying for now. Pyro Jack floats on forward, eager to lead you to the shop.
(EVENT ROLL: 99)
As Pyro Jack guides you, you look around the street, into alleyways, and at buildings as you walk.
You've only been to Kazamino once before, but you were really young. You'd think it'd be louder, but there's no one on the street. If you remember correctly, your grandparents on your Mom's side of the family live close by.
You're sure if you tried, you could find your way to their estate-
"Buh?!" You walk straight into someone! Before you look at them, you apologize. "Sorry, I was-"
"The apology is unnecessary, Yumi Konishi." A male voice you've never heard before responds. You look up to meet his his gaze.
The man is in a wheelchair, one of the motorized ones. He wears a red suit, and has short, white hair. You can't see behind his glasses, but you know he's looking dead into your eyes.
Then, you think. "How do you know my name?"
"Ah, I suppose introductions are in order. My name is Stephen. I am delighted to finally meet you, face to face. I would have met with you sooner, but I had pressing matters to attend to."
Before you can respond, he continues. "You will face many hardships in the upcoming weeks. I have come here to lighten the load, as they say."
Your Gauntlet beeps as he finishes, and the screen reads, [[UPDATE COMPLETE.]]
"The update I've installed onto your COMP will allow you to identify and properly utilize arcane items. Also, it has increased your own spiritual capacity."
(YOU NOW HAVE ANOTHER TRAIT SLOT.)
"What does that-" When you look from your Gauntlet to speak with him, he is gone.
"Hee-hey! Come on, slowpoke!" You hear Pyro Jack say from further ahead. Suddenly, you hear the conversations and footsteps of others again.
"Sorry! I'm coming!" You call out, catching up to him.
You'll have to process that later, you've got a job to do.
Apparently, the shop is a little further ahead...
(EVENT ROLL #2: 81)
As you enter the alleyways, weaving through dumpsters, your foot gets caught on something. Geez, you're two for two on foot catching in alleys-
It's an axe. Not a fire axe, or a wood axe, but a crazy looking axe. There's a skull decal on the top, and the blade looks wicked sharp. Well, if it's just lying here...
[] Take it!
[] Probably a murder weapon.
[] Write in?
Either way, again, you continue.
"We're hee-here, ho!" Pyro Jack spins around in the air, in front of a wooden door. You enter cautiously.
In the small room is a small, white creature. It wears a Blue hat. "Welcome!" He greets you warmly. "Welcome to the Jack Bros. General Store, hee-ho! We've got Med-hee-cine, Life Stones, and one whole Chakra Drop! How can I hee-help you?"
"Hiya, were looking for an Amrita Soda! Got any?" Pixie asks.
"Amr-hee-ta Soda? Okay! That'll be..." Jack Frost stops for a moment. "..What do humans use as money? Do they use Macca?"
"I've got Yen... But other countries-"
"150 Yen!" He says.
[] Buy it.
[] Sell something.
[] Buy something else.
[] Write in?
