[SP-F1] Mat Gatherin' Like A Boss!

[Ronin 0]

Ronin cracked his knuckles and pulled his gloves on before standing up.  He stretched a bit and then stepped outta' his little [censored] hole of a shop, sniffing at the outside air and smiling.  Today was going to be a fine day of material gathering and he was feeling good about his odds of bringing in a decent number of them.  Not only was he gathering for himself now, but for Jambi as well.  The woman was doing a fine job with her shop lately and she was burning through materials like crazy.  Now, Ronin wouldn't only be gathering to feed his own forge, but to feed her crafting as well.  He started by taking a look right outside his shop!

"Boom, just like that!" he exclaimed, picking a material up off the ground.  He turned it over in his gloved hand, inspecting it to make sure it wasn't of crappy quality.  It was an ore and one that would work wonderfully inside his shop for crafting.  He already had a good stock of them, but he knew one more wouldn't hurt.  At the rate he and Jambi had been going through them lately, he would need as many as he could get his hands on.  He continued his search around the immediate area, knowing that usually where there was one, there was two...

Continuing to wander around the front of his shop area and into the alleyway next to it, the swordsman looked something like  a drunkard searching for his lost car keys the morning after an all night rager.  He was slightly hunched over and took weird little steps, kinda' losing his balance time to time and staggering around, cursing, grumbling and spitting profusely at the ground below.  Was he high on drugs?  Was he drunk hammered outta' his mind just trying to figure out where in the hell he was?  No!  He was Ronin! and he was searching for materials!

"Aha! here's another one! Just as I suspected!" cried the swordsman, bending down and picking up his newest find.  These materials seemed to be scattered all around today and he was wondering if his luck would continue to hold up in this manner.  He decided he wasn't going to argue with good fortune and he continued his search, staggering down to the far depths of the alleyway and making sure to step over any droppings and bodily wastes that had been deposited here.  He knew his toilet wasn't working all that great, so he had of course made use of this alleyway a time or two...

So far, Ronin was killin' it on the loot finding today.  He stood up and took a long deep breath in through his nostrils.  "Ah yes, I'm the [censored]!" he exclaimed, feeling really good about his ability to find loot nowadays.  It hadn't always been this way, but with a lot of hard work and a lot of skill points pumped into his searching skill, he was now able to find treasure and more importantly today, materials, without much sweat at all.  He wanted to keep the juices flowin' so he stepped back out of the alleyway and resumed his search, knowing there had to be more mats around here somewhere!

"Damnit! Sonnofa..." he cringed, coming up empty handed as he turned over a garbage can and sifted through the crap dumped out on the ground.  He looked around, sniffing at the air and looking just like some common vagrant out riffling through the trash for something of value.  In all fairness, this wasn't too far from the truth and Ronin didn't care one bit about it.  To him, he was on the hunt for treasure, for loot, for materials to craft with!  He didn't have time to be concerned with looks or appearances, or public standing!  "HAH!"

Continuing on down the street, the swordsman continued to raid garbage cans and anything else he could find.  He sniffed along like some kinda' bloodhound, searching high and low for any extra materials laying around.  He had been going through them pretty quickly in his shop now and with Jambi needing some as well, he would soon run out if he didn't continue to stock up!  He needed to move quickly, because a new day would be coming soon and another chance at crafting!  If he had a mountain of materials, both he and his wife would be all set.

Making his way down the street, the smoker found himself in the vicinity of some little shops and restaurants that he had visited before.  "Hmm... maybe I should grab somethin to eat...?" he wondered aloud, rubbing his belly and feeling like it was a little more empty than usual.  He sighed and looked at his inventory noticing his Col.   "Man... what am going to spend all this on anyway?" he wondered, before finally deciding to head inside a little shop.  As he stepped inside, he kept his eyes peeled for mats, knowing that he might find them anywhere!

"Hah!" he shouted, spotting a material on the ground and diving right on top of it.  As he hit the ground and snatched up the little piece of ore, he rolled head over heels, crashing through a table and knocking chairs over.  He made a mess wherever he went and seemed to be clumsy and reckless as hell, but that was just the way he was.  He slowly climbed back up to his feet and shook his head, trying to get the dizziness to subside.  "Oh man, I needa' take it easy until I get some food in my belly!" he decided, before pocketing his mat and heading to the counter to order.

Spotting another material behind the counter, Ronin leapt over the top of the surface and raced behind the NPC to [censored] it up.  "Oh yeah! another one!" he gasped, pocketing it quickly and then sliding back over the counter.  The NPC didn't seem to mind his wild actions at all and simply stood there, still waiting for him to make his order.  "Oh right, I'll take... a uhh..." he paused for a long moment, pursing his lips and looking over the menu.  They had various breakfast items and he wondered what sounded the best... "How bout a uhh... tofu scramble?!"

"One tofu scramble, coming up!" said the NPC behind the counter, batting her lashes at Ronin and giving him a sweet little smile.  He smirked and found a little chair to sit in while he waited.  Suddenly however, he spotted something underneath the chair as he turned around.  "No way!" he cried, seeing that it was another material.  "These things are everywhere today!" he cried, before tossing the chair aside and snatching the mat up in his hand.  He turned it over in his hand and eyeballed it carefully.  "Oh yeah... this here's a beauty!"

Pocketing his latest find, the swordsman nodded, licking his lips and stood up.  He took a deep breath, trying to combat the dizzy spell that was sure to come from all the up and down craziness he was going through.  When he arrived at his full standing height, though it was a measly five foot seven inches, he wavered a bit before regaining his balance and composure.  He let out a mighty sigh before turning his attention to the counter.  "Oh?!" he exclaimed, seeing that his order was already up.  "Man, you guys are fast!"

Picking up his tofu scramble off the counter, he shot a glance toward the NPC once more, wondering if they might have any good ole' hot sauce he could use.  "Eyo... got any hot sauce I can drizzle over this bad boy?" he asked, receiving only a blank stare in return.  These NPCs didn't seem to understand a thing.  Sometimes you had to speak only simply commands that they had been programmed to receive, while other times it seemed like they could react to pretty much anything you said.  He sighed, shaking his head and stepped away from the counter with his food, spotting another material outside the shop.  "AH!" he blurted, rushing out to grab it.

Pouncing on yet another material, the swordsman tripped and spilled his tofu scramble all over the ground.  "Mother! Ffffff" he cried out, biting his tongue and trying not to let it get to him too much.  "Five second rule!" he cried, before dropping to the ground and shoveling as much of his tofu scramble back onto his plate as he could.  Once he had a bit of the food salvaged onto his plate, he sat there on the ground, digging in and enjoying the taste of the grub.  "Man... not bad at all... though it could use a little hot sauce..."

Doing his best to chew up his grub and sort out the bits of dirt and sand with his tongue, Ronin quite enjoyed his meal.  He smirked once he was finished, rubbing his belly and nodding his head in approval.  "Right on... that wasn't half bad, actually..." he said, before sparking up a smoke and leaning back.  He closed his eyes and fell back to a laying down position, engaging the muscles in his neck just briefly so his head wouldn't smack against the ground.  Once he was laying, he smoked at his ciggy and allowed his food to digest.  Life in SAO was hard...

Ronin spotted another material and then another and another!  He couldn't believe this!  He hadn't even had to travel too far at all and already he had found a good amount of crafting supplies.  At his rate, he'd be bringing back a mountain of mats to his shop and then he could divvy them up between Jambi and himself.  He smirked, thinking of all the awesome gear he could potentially make outta' all these good materials.  "Oh man, I can't wait to get back to the shop and get to work, but... maybe I should keep looking for some more!"

Still picking little bits of dirt out from between his teeth, the smoker stumbled his way back toward his shop.  He had lost all perspective on what he was doing right now, ever since eating that tofu scramble.  In all honesty, it had kinda' twisted up his guts and he longed desperately for a toilet.  He knew of the one in his little shanty, back in the broom closet sized water closet, but he knew it was broken at the moment.  He sighed, but continued to head in that direction, one hand gripping his belly and a sour expression plastered on his face.  "Ughhh... tofu scraaamblee..." he grumbled, still keeping his eyes out for any treasure...

As he reached the area out front of his little shop, he hunched over planting his hands on his knees and grinding his teeth together.  He let out a couple dry heaves, trying his best to keep his food down, though he knew perhaps that was what was making him feel so shitty in the first place.  He burped, spat, chewed at his tongue and tried to focus on his breathing, knowing that any moment he was going to lose his lunch, whether he liked it or not.  "Damnit... stupid NPC, the hell did she put in my food?" he wondered, looking at the ground and spotting something...

"Hrm," he grumbled, seeing it was nothing.  His attention was forced back to his screwed up belly and he punched at his gut in annoyance.  "Damnit... gunna' hafta use the alleyway again," he sighed, knowing what was coming.  If he wasn't going to puke, it was going to come out the other end.  He shook his head, wobbling his way into the alleyway beside his shop and running his hand along the wall for stability.  His face was growing flushed and pale and his temperature was rising by the moment.  He was clearly the victim of some kinda' food poisoning or something of that nature.

"Grrr... why does this crap always happen to me?" he teethed, grinding his chompers together and doing his best to try and breathe.  That was one of the most important things to do in this situation and he was no stranger to being sick.  Headaches, stomach aches, sicknesses of all sorts; Ronin had earned his stripes over the years.  While it was nice when someone like Jambi was around to help him through it, right now he knew he was on his own.  It was just between him and this dark little alleyway and hopefully for all their sakes, no one else would come around while he was handling his business.
