[SOLDIER First]

The knight is sent sprawling backwards, but inexorably he jumps to his feet and again dashes at Fredrech at blinding speed.

[Empiricist]

>"You can manage with a .38 to the hip as well, but you won't like it either. Come on now, it was a misunderstanding, thought we were working for the other side. You want black and purple books? Because he's got 'em, and if really was that against your trade, I don't think he'd have 'em stocked in the first place."

[Twinwolf]

Sera browses the shop's wears, looking to see if there's anything in her price-range that'd be useful for her.

[Chevaleresse]

Nobunaga walks outside, and, spotting the pair of warriors fighting, looks on with a mixture of interest and a degree of concern.

[Corsair]

 "I uh just need to get... past uh..geez this is really squishy... Excuse me! uh shopkeep? ca can I get some hollow-point bullets p-please?"

Buy hollowpoint bullets, then squeeze back past Nagisa, blushing the whole way

"Excuse me Nagisa just need to... get... past"

That-which-was-John awkwardly squeezes past Nagisa with difficulty in the extremely tight quarters.

[Sl4cker]

The knight is sent sprawling backwards, but inexorably he jumps to his feet and again dashes at Fredrech at blinding speed.

"Know your limits! Can you stand this?!" He moves hands close to eachother, one pointing up and the other pointing downward, before a spiraling sigil appears between them. The winds around him seem to be picking up speed...

>"You can manage with a .38 to the hip as well, but you won't like it either. Come on now, it was a misunderstanding, thought we were working for the other side. You want black and purple books? Because he's got 'em, and if really was that against your trade, I don't think he'd have 'em stocked in the first place."

The boy starts yelling. "I already told you, I'm fine!"
The knight places an armored hand on Angelo's shoulder."Calm yourself before you make rash decisions."
He seems to be absolutely fuming.

Sera browses the shop's wares, looking to see if there's anything in her price-range that'd be useful for her.

There doesn't seem to be anything but a few items the people already inside are looking at. It seems the old man somehow teleports them when they are required.

Nobunaga walks outside, and, spotting the pair of warriors fighting, looks on with a mixture of interest and a degree of concern.

The townspeople are watching them fight as well. Most look fearful, but some, most of them children, seem to be staring in awe.

That-which-was-John awkwardly squeezes past Nagisa with difficulty in the extremely tight quarters.

The man returns, holding a box full of ammo. "Here you are, sir... a box of hollow-point ammunition. That will be, ahem, 50 gold." He seems completely unfazed by the agent(?)'s transformation.

[Corsair]

"Thanks.. here's your gold"
That-which-was-John leaves 50G and takes the bullets loading them into his weapon fumbling every second bullet or so in a mildly adorable fashion i.e. lots of diving after stray bullets and similar.

<Dammit, how could I be so weak to let my face slip. It's always when I blush because of girls, or just anything embarassing really... I guess some things are really hard to change >

[Empiricist]

>"Look, do you want the tomes or not? Just outright, if you could have them, would you have them? Because you can have them right now, if you just go there, say a few words and pay up."

[Chevaleresse]

Nobunaga abruptly appears between the two men - though safely to one side, he wasn't that foolish - with a stern expression. "Enough, both of you! I do not particularly care what started this squabble as regardless of its origins, in the midst of a populated town is not the time to settle it by combat! Save your energy for fighting the opponents we were brought here to fight; you dirty your own concern for those that you left behind by acting so reckless and foolish."

"Hmph!" He moves his hands apart and the sigil seems to disappear in a burst of wind. "If it pleases you, student of Taoism, so be it. I will admit we could have chosen a better place to spar in, but he who knows not his allies' strength nor his own shall know only defeat."

>"Look, do you want the tomes or not? Just outright, if you could have them, would you have them? Because you can have them right now, if you just go there, say a few words and pay up."

"I told you, I'm not going back there!" Angelo shouts.

The period of silence afterwards is tense, but no-one in the vicinity seems to want to break it. Suddenly, a new voice appears, as smooth and handsome-sounding as can be, but twice as dangerous.

"So."

A new figure suddenly appears behind the tree. The knight holds his shield up defensively, as Angelo takes a step back, hand glowing a faint purple. The newcomer's aura is palpable, choking, almost. Just being clad in blood-red armor, every movement of his joints creaking hauntingly, makes him an imposing figure. Add his height, the crown of ugly thorns (that seems to be making him bleed even now),the slasher smile, and the absolutely massive sword, nearly as large as he is, and he becomes positively frightening. His very presence demands prostration.

He lifts the too-big sword up at the knight with jarring casualness.
"These are the people you choose to ally yourself with, O, valorous knight."
He flinches at that.
"I expected you to be able to at least choose better. Oh well."
The "valorous knight" seems to be trying to say or do something, but he seems to be quite hesitant. He glares at the newcomer.
"Who are you? Are you friend or foe?"
The man chuckles darkly, before pausing.
"... Hail to the king."

[Empiricist]

>[X]"I don't think he chose jack, if you did, then it seems like you got a better bargain than us lot."
>[X]"Unless Jesus Christ Superstar moonlights as a nineties superhero in your world, I'm guessing foe."

[Chevaleresse]

Nobunaga vanishes once again with a flourish of his cape before reappearing beside Valor. "An attempt at intimidation, I see, and all the more ineffectual for the fact that I can. I've sat down and had pleasant tea with individuals far more frightening than you. An oversized weapon, speech designed to unsettle in vagueness, and trying to look as unnatural as possible? True terrors strike without such brashness and unsubtlety." Still, there was a faint, yellow-white field in his left hand while the right was used to admonish the newcomer.

[Corsair]

That-which-was-john rises from his spot outside the gun shop seeing the exchange with this new red-armoured figure. The veil of John Smith reasserts itself with absolute authority.
<Hostile body language, enemy infiltrating unit high probability. Removal with first strike unlikely. >

John quickly moves over to the tree where the red armoured figure is talking, pistol drawn and ready

"You are outnumbered surrender now."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

Ryuto goes to the eastern shop.

[Sl4cker]

He chuckles again. "Perhaps. There's nothing stopping any of you defecting from Harmony, however. Discord's forces are very accepting."
"Discord? That means..."
Angelo's hands start to be seemingly wreathed in purple flames. "You're an enemy."

He holds up an armored palm at the growing crowd of Champions. "Now, now... This is a neutral area. A safe-zone, if you will. Fiends will not attack Champions here, and vice versa. A fair deal. If the deal is broken, however..." He points the town with his sword. "All that you see here will be razed to the ground."

"Fine words. Almost a royal quality to them. I've learned early, however, that fine words don't win wars."

He doesn't even turn to him. "How cute."

Ryuto goes to the eastern shop.

It is very oriental-looking, indeed. The red-headed girl at the counter seems to be silently fuming over something.
