Tanoshi 0 Posted February 6, 2020 #81 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Tanoshi was surprised by the sudden appearance of two naughty little girls. They were so identical enough that Tanoshi guessed they were sisters. Twin sisters. Poor girls, being stucked in this dead game. He didn't think that there would be people this young in the game, they couldn't be NPCs as they weren't that smart. Though, their movements got him a bit dizzy. He was impressed that two little girls actually owned this shop. Then, they referred something about The Mistress, which might imply that the owner was someone else. After several seconds, he told them to give him the potions that Vanessa advised him of buying. "May I have two Rank 1 Immolation Potions please?"

Simmone 0 Posted February 6, 2020 Author #82 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 "Certainly sir!" Moro elatedly salutes before diving headfirst into one of the cupboards, as Maru moves up with a tray for the Col in question to be placed upon its surface. Standing with the protruding tray Maru subtly kicks the dried appendage to the side with a soft smile. "Girls, what is with all that racket..." Simmone slides the paper screen open and peers out as the smoke from the room bleeding out like fog claiming the ceiling as it rises. "Well now, who might you be..." Simmone remarks taking him in, sizing him up. "Two-handed, young..." Simmone remarks as she circles leaving a trail of smoke in her wake. "Strapping lad like yourself, exerting such force with a sword that large." Simmone takes to a seat and takes a drag of her cigarette holder breathing in and out slowly. Moro produces the two Immolation potions from the cardinal system as Maru aims to claim the currency for the transaction while Simmone, just watches with an intense gaze at the whole ordeal.

Tanoshi 0 Posted February 6, 2020 #83 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Tanoshi just remained silent as they did their jobs, not wanting to disturb them. Just then, as he saw smoke came flying out of a room, taking over the whole place, he flinched as he thought it was a fire. However, the two girls seemed to be fine with it so he just ignored it for the time-being. The smoke flew to him, suffocating the boy which got him coughing a few times. He finally knew who the "culprit" was. A woman with black hair reaching her shoulders, a strong smoker, Tanoshi could sense a wealthy aura coming from the woman. That must be the Mistress the girls were talking about. As the woman saw him, she made a few strange comments which he didn't understand the intention of. Maybe she was flirting with him? He would just ignore it. "Thank you" Tanoshi said as Moro came back with the potions he required. He opened up the Transaction Window and paid 600 Col for the potions.

Simmone 0 Posted February 6, 2020 Author #84 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 "Well, girls you seem to have this....handled..." Simmone spoke with a trail between the words looking back at Tanoshi with an intense stare as she slinked back into her den of pollution breaking through the white as it poured out of the entrance. "Your name berserker?, I'd like to add your name to my repertoire unless that name suits you better?" Simmone says staring at him intently breaking through the smoke as it finds a bit of clarity in the main chamber as she finds her long-drawn chair like mattress dropping the device producing the orange glow through the mist into a small cylindrical brass stand for catching the ash that falls from it. Maru processes the col accordingly causing the sold items to reclaim their spaces on the black cats shelving as if respawning, Moro retrieves something from one of the side tables in Simmone's room moving to her side with a tray handing her a small cup. "Thank you Moro dear..." taking a soft sip of what appears to be tea. Link to post Share on other sites
Tanoshi 0 Posted February 6, 2020 #85 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 Tanoshi gently smiled as he received his items, the second thing that he would need and then he was done with the preparing stage. Then, as the woman asked for his name to write in her repertoire, he raised an eyebrow not knowing what would that be used for but it wouldn't hurt, it was just his username and if he could form some kind of "friendship" with this place, maybe it would help him long-term in the future as he found this place pretty good, this wouldn't be his final visit. "Ah, you can call me Tanoshi beauty. It's a gorgeous store you have here..." Link to post Share on other sites
Simmone 0 Posted February 6, 2020 Author #86 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 "My a charmer as well... I think we will get along...just fine" Each word with a slight pause for dramatic effect as Simmone takes another sip of the tea produced for her by Moro before she looks to Tanoshi "You make sure to stop by again sometime...Tanoshi...I may have need of a sword such as yours if that's agreeable and I appreciate the investment in my cause here twofold." Another sip of the cup before returning it the platter set on the small rounded table before retracting the glimmering orange light, inhaling deeply as the glow grows hotter and subsides with an exhale *hwah* causing the smoke to thicken deeper. "Farewell Tanoshi, live well and think with your head not that large thing you carry on your back. I await your return, with treasures aplenty and your life intact." Simmone gingerly dropped the silver etched words wishing the boy luck on his endeavors hoping the next time she could charge him money for real leaving this her secret in cutting him a deal.

Shinji 0 Posted February 8, 2020 #87 Report Share Posted February 8, 2020 Two things surprise Shinji when he arrives at The Black Odyssey with a package containing an unknown perfect weapon in hand. The Japanese shrine-like architecture and two twins greeting him upon stepping in. One sports blue hair while the other pink. Though Shinji looks surprised when looking at the twins, he tries to retain his neutral expression while hiding his embarrassment from their flirty welcome greetings. Shinji clears his throat as he asks in a soft voice while showing the package to the sisters, "Where....where can I find your merchant? I want this weapon identified.." He also tends to look slightly away from them whenever one of them catches her eyes on his. Link to post Share on other sites
Simmone 0 Posted February 9, 2020 Author #88 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) "An Identify then..." Simmone hears through the thin flap of paper concealing her room from the entryway. "Girls... show him in..." Moro and Maru straighten up almost stiff at the order and the NPC girls skitter over to her enclosure, one to each door and while sliding them together as the smoke begins to billow out of the entry. "Welcome to the black odyssey!" an extravagant decree from the girls spoken together like a choir allowing the players eyes to see what he can through the thick smoke. The only thing easily visible being the slight metallic reflection of orange along with the burning hot color of similar hue punching a hole visibly through the smog. @Shinji Edited February 9, 2020 by Simmone Link to post Share on other sites
Shinji 0 Posted February 9, 2020 #89 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Shinji steps into the smoke filled room and sits down in a seiza posture, the typical Japanese sitting posture with knees together, back straight and ankles rested on by his rear. It is hard to make out the figure behind the thick smoke, even when Shinji squints his eyes at it. Nervousness builds within himself as he feels like he is facing a female daimyo rather than a merchant. Shinji holds the package forward to the mysterious figure, not breaking his gaze towards it as he asks, "This package, it has a perfect-graded weapon. Can you tell me what is inside it?"

Simmone 0 Posted February 9, 2020 Author #90 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) "Yes..." her appraisal skill flares with violet, her eyes becoming visible through the smoke then her system reads back the cost to her. A soft hand breaks through the smoke as places her hand on Shinji's shoulder. #ID: 135626a, Tier 1 perfect, 640 col appraisal "Maru a tray..." as the blue haired girl rustles through one of the surrounding containers and produces one meeting the pairs side. Standing over the prostrated swordsman, kneeling slightly herself "You need not be so worried...I don't bite that hard..." Taking a closer and softer look within his item appraisal still awaiting the cardinal's approval after an offering of currency has been made. "Looks as though it will cost: 640 col to complete the identification of the item, agreeable?" Simmone softly says now visible in her yukata bunched tightly with her black hair dripping over her shoulders and eyes glowing with the skill awaiting the required money. Maru shoves the tray near Shinji on his right, ready to receive should he agree. @Shinji Edited February 9, 2020 by Simmone Link to post Share on other sites
Shinji 0 Posted February 9, 2020 #91 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 Though Shinji slightly jumps from the merchant's touch on his shoulder, he looks up to see the yukata she is wearing and her face. The glowing eyes sets him off a bit, and for a split second he almost feels the urge to draw his sword, especially since he still on edge from his grueling fight with the Queen Wasp and the Mantis a few days ago. Besides, monsters are one thing, but hostile humans are an entirely different grim tale. Thankfully, he calms down as he hears her gentle voice assuring him of her peaceful nature, like a mother calming her frightened son. He takes a deep breath as he hears the price and nods. Agreeable for a perfect weapon indeed. He fishes out some COL from his inventory and hands out the right amount to her.

Simmone 0 Posted February 9, 2020 Author #92 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) Taking the col Maru holds the tray aloft, overhead as the bag takes on a blue hue and bursts into data. The swirling data finds its way to the item on the floor, encasing it in the same blued hue. Removing her hand from Shinji's shoulder with a quick wave over the object in question it unfolds and the light fades with a quick flash, taking on the purple hue of a perfect quality item. Encased within a blade, hand and a half or two with a long blade and etched fuller embellished with small leaves twirling almost like fine silverware. The blade has jagged breaks subtle along the point but is of light weight which should allow follow up swings much easily. "I hope it suits you, your name?" Simmone remarks at the items completion hoping to add the patron's name to her catalog of visitors. #135626a Roll: ID# CD: LD: Quality Count Experience 1 135646 CD:8 LD:19 Damage 2 135647 CD:1 LD:1 Keen 3 135648 CD:2 LD:13 Bleed Spoiler Name: Silver-Etched Greatsword - Gleam Profession: Merchant Rank: 2 Roll ID: 135626a: 135646 (19), 135647 (1), 135648 (13) Roll Result: LD: 19/LD: 1/LD: 13 Item Type: Two Handed Straight Sword Tier: 1 Quality: Perfect Enhancements: Bleed 1, Damage 1, Keen 1 Post Link: Here Description: A silver blade long and drawn thin for ease to redirect allowing follow up attacks with grace.

Shinji 0 Posted February 9, 2020 #93 Report Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) "Subarashi....amazing..." is all Shinji could say as he looks at his new toy closely, admiring the silvery blade and the twirling small leaves. The 'teeth' on the blade gives Shinji a new hope in monster slaying as he realizes that he could make his foes bleed like this. Though he is enamored of the silver greatsword, his ears manage to pick up the merchant's question regarding his name. Shinji looks up and into her mystic eyes as he says, "Shinji....Shinji Tanimura." As if he forgot something, Shinji quickly gives her a respectful bow, followed by the words, "Arigato, m...mistress, for your service." Obtained Perfect Weapon!

Oscar 0 Posted February 22, 2020 #94 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Oscar walked into the shop, the musky scent of fresh tobacco assailing his nostrils. Whenever the existence of a merchant reached his ears, Oscar like to pay them a visit and power level them up to Grandmaster. It was a net gain for the community at large as well as himself. More often than not, the Merchant would be so grateful as to offer them a discount. But that was only a bonus, not the reason. Ultimately, having more competent merchants would increase the amount of rare items, bringing the power floor up which would make quests and grinding that much more safer for the people doing it. So Oscar walked straight up to the counter and dropped a sack of gold down upon the surface. With a sly grin he said, "I would like to buy 625 Tier 1 Dungeon Maps please." 62,500 Col transferred to Simmone Link to post Share on other sites
Simmone 0 Posted February 22, 2020 Author #95 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) The girls lost their mind, skittering about in a flurry not sure how to process such an order. Retrieving trays and ripping maps off the shelves in a frenetic display of tomfoolery. Simmone having just awoken for the morning, holding a cigarette rod and exiting her chamber wanted to check what the commotion was about. "Girls what in the lord..." Simmone exits the chamber into the foyer as Moro and Maru lose their minds collecting the vast quantity of maps from all the nooks and crannies they've been stashed. "Mistress he wants..." Moro, the blue-haired one runs to her side out of breath with a pause before continuing "625 maps." Simmone tilts her head, a bit confused with a raised brow before taking a drag. "Well then continue...must not keep the man waiting." 625*Dungeon maps T1 Purchased for 62500 Col Oscar Obtains 625*Dungeon Maps (T1/Uncommon/Consumable) Simmone Gains 1875 Exp Edited February 22, 2020 by Simmone Link to post Share on other sites
Oscar 0 Posted February 22, 2020 #96 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 Six hundred twenty five maps. A very specific number. For you see, this was the magical amount. The act of purchasing the maps would net a Merchant 1875 Crafting experience. That would be quite a bump. But now, Oscar is stuck with 625 T1 Dungeon Maps he will absolutely never use. As they were placed on the counter, Oscar smiled and slid them back towards the women. "I would like to junk sell these back to you now please." At this point, it would be fairly obvious what Oscar was doing. 1875 Experience from the purchase, plus 625 from the Junk Sale. This came out to a total of 2500 Merchant Experience. What this meant was that, assuming this particular merchant had done even the slightest amount of work with their Profession, they would become a Grandmaster Merchant in two transactions. +625 T1 Blank Dungeon Maps -625 T1 Blank Dungeon Maps Link to post Share on other sites

Simmone with respect in his manipulation, a smile almost toothed drug across her mouth. "I think I can handle this for you, after all it's what I do." Moving above the collection of them in a hefty stack like a phone book of paper, vanishes in a flash of gold as she activates her skill to scrap them with a snap of her finger. Replaced in a drop of bagged coin, half the size of the original one. "The task is complete, I owe you a great deal...One more thing, your name if you would grace me with such a trivial sum?" Simmone wanted his name in her ledger, someone with such an insight into the system especially in the system tied to her profession could prove useful and It wouldn't hurt to have a name to such a useful face.

NIGHT 0 Posted February 22, 2020 #98 Report Share Posted February 22, 2020 There was little reason why she should've gone to this merchant in particular, especially when she already knew one next door. Rather, it felt part of the recent deal -- err, contract? -- she'd gotten herself roped up into, and it made for the compelling benefit on both parties. If she recalled correctly, they were part of the same guild, so it made sense for her client to keep arrangements within their social circle after all. The smell of tobacco graced her senses, and NIGHT winced, holding her breath before stepping past the paper doors, on sock-covered feet. This was how shrines worked, right? Gingerly, she lowered herself, sitting on her legs, before setting the white sack of foiled trinkets down on the floor. "Uh-- junk sell." Shifty eyes, as she looked upon the twins standing at the ready. "Please." @Simmone Spoiler Junk-selling the following: ID: 136329 | Crafting | CD: 6 (5, +1) | Tier 1 Uncommon Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136330 | Crafting | CD: 10 (9, +1) | Tier 1 Rare Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136334 | Crafting | CD: 7 (6, +1) | Tier 1 Uncommon Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136335 | Crafting | CD: 10 (9, +1) | Tier 1 Rare Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136336 | Crafting | CD: 7 (6, +1) | Tier 1 Uncommon Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136337 | Crafting | CD: 7 (6, +1) | Tier 1 Uncommon Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136338 | Crafting | CD: 7 (6, +1) | Tier 1 Uncommon Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136341 | Crafting | CD: 10 (9, +1) | Tier 1 Rare Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136343 | Crafting | CD: 10 (9, +1) | Tier 1 Rare Crafted Trinket | >> ID: 136344 | Crafting | CD: 10 (9, +1) | Tier 1 Rare Crafted Trinket | >> Link to post Share on other sites

Small rotating circles around her like wolves with prey, their faces plastered with smiles as they retrieved items one by one and begin to offer them to the cardinal one by one in flashes of light. The display was somewhere between outlandish and comical, before it finalized to two trays carried by the girls with equal portions of bagged coin littered about the surface. Simmone exited her threshold, the second entrance to her shop today it seems as though business was booming. The girls had it handled, Simmone took to the frame of her space in the shops interior.

NIGHT 0 Posted February 23, 2020 #100 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 It was... unnerving, to say the least, as the girls seemed to move around her, picking at the trinkets after unfolding the bag. She set her eyes instead on the far end of the room, before her attention was stolen by the apparent shopkeeper present, and she knitted her brows together. I had hair that long, once, was all she could find herself thinking, before the merchant spoke. The player hesitantly brought out yet another bag of trinkets, almost seeing as though she was playing a prank, though in truth her intentions were only pure. Just... she was more than misguided in her manners, that's all. "NIGHT," she finally spoke, taking another quick breath, trying not to gag from the smell in the room.
