The East Market - Fantasy/Steampunk Character Development RP - *Rebooted!*

Akkina looked down to the counter and looks up to the shopkeeper again " I'm not really good at stories but it's not the Edo Masuna, It's the Eucildator, The reason why I am not really good at stories is a personal problem. But since I am going to be staying in the East Market, you can have it for Eight Thousand, Five hundred gold coins. Also do you require a shop guard? Akkina reached out her hand again and softly pushed the sword towards the shopkeeper.

"Hmm, the Elucidator. Interesting... That sounds like a fair price to me, but we oughtn't ignore our friend here! Uh," Humphrey raised an eyebrow at the jester, "Crapsy was it? Do you have a better offer for our lady?"

And looking back at the swordswoman, he said, "As for your offer, The East Market is a pretty safe place. At least it has been for me and my shop. But I certainly wouldn't mind some extra company. I can't pay you very much, but you could have your pick of the items here whenever you want or need. And maybe I can help you get better at telling stories." he winked at her, "If that sounds interesting to you, then you've got yourself a job! Most important thing, though, is what should I call you?"

@Alamantus Thank you for the tip, Sorry it was hard to read, Although I do use that shade of blue in most cases, But I'll change it to maybe a sky blue, or a sunflower yellow

@The Slenderman

No problem at all! This website's background is just so dark. :P

The Sword for sale is Eucildator, The Sword on her back is Durandal.

@The Slenderman

Haha, I'm glad I didn't see this before posting. Humphrey would never have known that based on its origin. :)

"Hrmm... I've encountered so many named swords in my lifetime that this is going to be a bit difficult..." Humphrey said, stroking his beard in thought and completely unbothered by the jester's competition, "Would this sword happen to be the Edo Masuna? Because if it is, I don't think I could ever offer a fair price for such a priceless blade! The Edo Masuna belongs in a museum!"

Humphrey looked back down at the swordswoman, eyebrows raised inquisitively, "And if it's not, the most I can offer is the equivalent of ten thousand gold coins, though I would certainly love to know more of its story before dropping that much on it."

@The Slenderman, If you don't mind can you try to use a lighter color for your dialogue? That dark blue was pretty hard to see without highlighting it. :)

She pulled down her hood as she was wearing a hooded cloak. She went closer to the where the shopkeeper was and detached a small sword from her waist and lay it on the counter, with it still in the sheath, " How much will I get if I sell this Sword. " .

@The Slenderman

"Oh! Excuse me here, sir," Humphrey spoke out the side of his mouth to the jester, gesturing toward the woman, "Got another customer. And customers get preference over friendly conversation," He said as he clomped behind the desk to take a look at the sword.

Humphrey squinted down at the sword, bending forward to get a closer look.

"Hmm, hmmmm.... Well miss, there's some magic in this sword. I can tell just by looking at it." He lifted it up, still sheathed, and examined the ornately designed scabbard and hilt, studded with small gemstones and gleaming with a pristine polish in the sunlight, "It's very light! I can't tell what it's made of, but it looks different than anything I've ever seen. Care to tell me the story behind this beautiful weapon?"

He set the sword back on the desk as carefully as he could manage and looked into the swordswoman's eyes. Or at least he tried to look—her hood was pulled down so far that her eyes were completely hidden.

Alright cool, I'll make a CS and post it up soon.

@The Slenderman

Nice! You should add that to her Character post. :D

Humphrey eyed the jester compassionately.
"Don't look so glum, my friend! What can I help you with today? Or were you just here for the lady as I suspect?" Humphrey winked.

Humphrey was a little bit unsettled by the jester's appearance and the way he spoke to himself, but he always tried to look past these things and hope people were just as in need of friendly conversation as himself.

What all in terms of races and gear is allowed? What kind of shops?

@Shikaru

The answer to both of these is "any." That is, as long as it fits a general fantasy and/or steampunk theme. It's a place of worlds colliding, so anything goes, especially in terms of races and shops.

Is it possible to make a thief character that steals from the other shops and has a black market of sorts?

I did actually write this with the thought of making a thief character myself. ;) As long as you're fair, go for it. The black market seems like it'd be hard, but if you can figure it out, again go for it! :) Character development and world building is what the East Market is here for.

"Blue as the color of death, eh? I wonder where you're from... Anyway, no need for stories right now! I think I have just the ring for you!" Humphrey clomps to the case beside the desk and opens it up, revealing rows of rings made of various precious metals glinting in the morning sun. He pauses for a moment, stroking his beard with one hand and scanning the rings with the other, before letting loose a small "Aha!" and grabbing a large, silver ring with ornate spirals around its outside.

"Here we are! This ring isn't just pretty, it's imbued with some simple magic that lets it automatically size to the wearer's finger! It's a perfect gift for anyone, especially if you don't know their ring size!" Humphrey beamed, holding the ring out the lady in his palm, "What do you think?"

Humphrey glanced at the jester, still standing in the doorway, when he thought he heard him muttering something under his breath. He shook his head slightly and looked back at the lady, deciding to focus on the sale rather than a customer not completely committed to entering the shop.
