[002] Action/Video - Freelancing

Action: Price Shopping in Fayren


Peter had to give it to this place, the Decontamination Walkthrough that had been installed was a lot more pleasant than the orange slop that had serve the same purpose in the Kyln. The fact that it didn't leave him looking like he had a really bad fake tan was a plus too.

For now, he wasn't paying too much attention to the Archway itself - though he knew he would have to eventually. There would, presumably, be more time for that after he was back - and there were more cities, some of which weren't currently undergoing plagues and decontamination.

It was evident - really, really, evident - that Fayren and Genessia didn't quite match up. It was too rural to be that close - and then there was the Archway.

Still, he made his way into the town, asking anyone who looked friendly enough where he might be able to go to get some estimates on custom horse tack.

He had his mask on - better safe than sorry, whatever they'd said about the plague only effecting magic users.

[He still has the helmet on, though he's back in Genessia with a few prices jotted down in his notebook with his complimentary pen.]

Hey, Alley? Got some estimates for you. You two still at the park?

[The mention of "mostly" made her change her expression to one of "I'm going to murder you where you stand" before he finally took off the mask, making her look confused and awed again.

She stood there for a second before breathing out and relaxing her stance, the tip of her sword landing on the ground with a loud metallic thunk.]

Gods, Quill....ye shouldn't be walkin' 'round these 'ere parts with summin' like that....I nearly ran ye through....

[She sighs again, resting her sword against the wall before she goes back to sitting on the floor to scrub her armor.]

So? What brings ye 'ere?

[Clearly she is not bothered by her being in underwear in public.]

[Peter took a moment to breathe and try to regain some of his dignity, finally dropping his other hand. The smile he gave was a little on the weak side but it was something, anyway, and one day his heart would jump back down out of his throat. It always did.]

I was just keeping it on because of the whole plague thing I heard about? I'm not, y'know, magic as far as I know but I really don't try my luck if I can help it.

[He was definitely leaving it off now, however.]

I kinda, kinda got that impression, yeah. I appreciate it that you didn't. I mean, I could've gotten out of the way but I already had some kind of zombie horse unicorn wannabe try to gut me today and once a day's enough for me. You know? That's actually why I'm here.

[His confidence, slowly, is returning to his face.]

I'm looking for a place to get some horse clothes made. You happen to know a place?

[If she wasn't going to address being practically naked, he wasn't going to.]

[the_fractured_heart]

[Wait a minute.]

...There's a plague?

[Here she is look at him again, this time a little paler and her gold eyes are wide as saucers.]

Re: Action (Cause I'm trash and GOTG Vol 2 was awesome)

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

Yeah.

[Though her look of surprise almost makes him doubt it, even though he'd just been through a decontamination walkthrough less than an hour ago.]

Something about only people with magic being able to catch it, or...something? You didn't...? Huh. I saw some announcement about it being kind of under control right after I got here.

Re: Action (Cause I'm trash and GOTG Vol 2 was awesome)

[the_fractured_heart]

'nly folks with magicks....

[She squints. Does being a dark knight count?]

Well, seein' as I'm still bob, I don't think I'll be affected by this bleedin' plague....I 'ope.

[She think visiting a doctor wouldn't be so bad this week.]

Anyroads, ye were lookin' for summin' for 'orses, aye?

Re: Action (Cause I'm trash and GOTG Vol 2 was awesome)

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

I'll cross my fingers for you.

[But, it seemed, he wouldn't explain what that meant.]

Yeah, I need a place that makes tack. I've got his bony little measurements, just need to figure out the best place to get some estimates. You happen to be familiar with anything like that?

[the_fractured_heart]

Hmmmm....

[She thinks for a second....and another....and another.....then she starts scrubbing her armor, an absent minded look in her eyes. Her jaw starts to open as if to say something but then it closes again, doubting herself. Then it opens...then closes.

A few minutes pass before she actually gets something of substance and pulls a piece of folded paper from her binding bra, unfolds it to reveal a small hand drawn map. There are strange runes on it.]

Where is that bleedin'...Ah, there we are!

[She points to a spot on the map and show it to Peter.]

When I went explorin' an' I found this 'ere stables. I 'ear they 'old all sort of critters and the like. 'orses included. If they don't 'ave the things ye be lookin' fer, then they'd probably know who ye can get it from!

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

[Peter tries his best to wait patiently, really he does. But his best has him spending the time waiting eventually rocking back and forth on his heels, singing a song just barely under his breath. He almost tried to make sure that she was still thinking a few times, but never quite got to it.

[He looks away when she reaches into her bra though, and doesn't look back down until she says something else.]

Yeah, I mean. Stable makes sense. They'd have to get their stuff somewhere, right?

[He peers closer to the map, and hazards a look around.]

So it's that way, right? [Peter asks, pointing.]

[the_fractured_heart]

Errr....

[She stops scrubbing to stand and take a look around, cursing when she realizes her tail was wet.]

Ummm...[She stands next to Peter, hand on her hips before her ears shoot upward and she reaches into her binding again to pull out another folded map. She snatches the one he's holding and joins them together to form a whole picture of Fayren.]

Annnnnn, nope. Ye want to head the opposite direction.

[legendaryoutlawstar_lord]

I knew that.

[Peter informed her, quickly. Kind of a lame cover, but he had pride. With his free hand, he pulled out his glorified smartphone and with minimal fiddling, managed to take a picture of the maps together before pocketing the communicator.]

Thanks for the help.
