An Actual Plan is Happening
"Hm. Have you any urgent tasks, odd jobs, monetarily rewarding activities, magical quests?" Nurse Akane asks, smiling at the shopkeeper.
"So, you're more of the questy type? Well, if you want some quick cash, how would you feel about clearing out the rats in the attic. I mean, they're Giant Rats, so their probably bigger than anything you've seen. I get it if you're not up to it, people aren't crazy about rats. I keep trying to get my niece to clear them out, but I really have no clue what she spends her time doing..."
I will take all of them, then.
"How many neo-shekels do you have on you? Lets see...per ounce I'll give you:X - $25
Salazaar - $20
Crunk - $12
Opium Prime - $40
Death Cheese - $60
"Can you afford all that? No offense, but you and your clique don't seem like you've got a lot of spare cash going around.""Indeed," declares Nigel. "We could possibly do all sorts of discreet stuff. How much are your drugs, man?"
"I don't sell drugs. This is a legitimate business. I'm sure you could find something in a back alley if you need that sort of thing, but please, take it outside. We don't need that in here."
Johnny raises an eyebrow.
Really, now. Tell me more.
"Because you assumin' that yuv' gutta' have them like that...when really..." The gnome finishes retying the shoelaces, which are now in a complete diamond shape on Johnny's foot. They work just as good as ever, he just wasn't aware that this pattern existed. Or was physical possible.
Of course. The local library. Didn't think of that.
"Thanks for the info there! Could you point me to that place? Just want to make sure. I...can't read that well. The signs and all." Sarah replies, making something up to ensure the location, then (after this is done,) she moved along towards the nearest person she could find amidst the fog and many obscurities of the store moving about--while animism was a very intriguing concept to her, the fact that she had to brush away a thing or two out of her path led to another idea: there needed to be awareness with these nice trinkets for them to be...durable.
"Hey," she says (to basically anyone who can hear, out of the shopkeeper's hearing range), "I'll be going to the library to check up where to look; any idea where to meet back?"
Coordinate plan, then as a consecutive action, get to the library mentioned!
Rubric's never been a really...magic-y person. The whole 'Way-Of-The-Fist' thing was always more appealing to him. So, while everyone is poking and prodding around the shop, he perks up when hearing someone mention going elsewhere.
"I will accompany you to the library. I am in need of a weapon, and as many have said, books are the worlds greatest weapon."
He clears his throat, and continues.
"Eugh. Sorry about that. Slipped into some kinda Confucius thing there. So...library?"
Follow Sarah to the Library, whenever she decides to leave.
"Sure thing, let me point it out to you on a map..." Dillan pulls out a map to show Sara which streets to take to reach the library. After giving out directions, Sara secretly confers a plan with Rubric to head out. The two of them head out to the library, past the streets of late night Neo-Atlanta. It's rather quiet except for the cars, the blaring music out of nowhere, the people yelling at each other across streets from apartment to apartment, it's an unusually peaceful night. They reach the library with no hassle, a monolith of a facility complete with Roman Columns and a statue of the Lady of Knowledge erected outside. Etched into the base of the statue are the words of an ancient Greek Philosopher when it comes to writing:
Nemo curat de pristina charcter.Before they can go through the rather imposing double doors, Rubric and Sara are stopped by a slender bespectacled lass clutching a volume of novels to her chest. "Excuse me! I don't think you should go inside. It's...scary." She sighs deeply, with a hint of disappointment almost if she had heard that the Banjo Kazooie Reboot was going to be PS4 Exclusive.
