A Better Staff

[Monster]

The man was startled as Shade ran toward him and started talking non-stop. Then, just as he was going to reply, the small mage turned to his companion and asked her if she was going to buy anything.

Deciding to talk to the lady first, the shopkeeper walked over to her and said, "Why not? We have lots of sales on today! Like those daggers over there are 50% off, so they're only 25 coins for both of them. Then that leather tunic is on sale too, 75% off, so it's only 10 coins! And I'll make you a deal, if you buy both of them, I'll take off 5 coins, so it will only cost you thirty coins!!!" The price was a tremendously good deal, so not taking it would make Mika a fool. Then he turned back to Shade, "Also... the fire staff you wanted is on sale too, 25% off, so it's only 45 coins today! And if you buy a leather tunic with it it I will lower the price to be only 50 coins in all!" The shop owner exclaimed. This had ended up being one of the ideal days to come to this shop. "We also have many other items on sale too, just ask me if something you want is on sale and I'll tell you!" The blond haired man smiled happily.

Mika listened to the guy talk on and on about the sales Why not? We have lots of sales on today! Like those daggers over there are 50% off, so they're only 25 coins for both of them. Then that leather tunic is on sale too, 75% off, so it's only 10 coins! And I'll make you a deal, if you buy both of them, I'll take off 5 coins, so it will only cost you thirty coins!!! "Only 30 coins, wow that is a really good deal, I'll take it." she said to the man smiling. "And now you can get that other staff you wanted to." she said to shade.

[-:-Shade-:-]

Shade listened as the shopkeeper told Mika about all the great sales that luckily were happening that day. "And now you can get that other staff you wanted to." He heard Mika say to him.

"Yep, and I can get a leather tunic with it too!" Shade replied happily before turning to the shopkeeper. "I'll take them!" He said quikly giving the man the coins with a smile.

(OoC: Blah, that was short... but at least I replied!)

[Monster]

The young blonde smiled at how well he got the girl to change her mind, also the shrimpy mage was buying stuff too, so he was all round happy with himself at his masterful selling abillities. He took the money from the mage and handed him a leather tunic and told him to take the fire staff. Then he turned back to Mika and gave her the daggers and a leather tunic, and held out his hand for the coins.

As Mika was about to give the man the coins, a noise came in the direction of the back door. Standing in the doorway was a woman who looked like she was in her late fourties with golden hair going down just below her shoulders and her light blue eyes that gave her a young yet experianced look. Her face had a couple or wrinkles on it, but if her hands looked like an old ladys. If you were to ask her about them, she would tell you it was simply because because they weren't moisturized, but she could be lying you never know. The woman glared at the young man who had been selling to Mika and Shade. "Brock, what are you doing!?" She growled. "Don't answer that, I've been standing here for a while! I know exactly what you're doing. Your putting everything on sale early again aren't you?"

Brock tried to hide behind Mika, hoping his mom would go easy on him as he replied, "Sorry, but the list says everythings on sale!"

"It does not! It says the Fire staffs on sale and the Spears are on sale, nothing more!" Terry yelled at her son. "You're just making up things being on sale because your desperate for a girlfriend since you haven't had one for more than 4 years, and she happens to be good looking!" The woman said, talking about Mika.

"Mom! SHHHHHH!!! Your embarrasing me, and besides, if your twisted thinking was true then why would I give the shrimp a deal too?!" The youth replied, fighting for his dignity.

The woman sighed and ignored her sons question for the time being. She walked toward Mika and Shade and said, "Sorry you got caught up in my sons idiocy. I'll let you keep the things you bought, I'll get my son to pay for what you didn't so it's all right." She said with a warm smile.

"What! That's not fair, I need my money! How am I to live without any money!?" Brock protested.

"You live at home, I pay for everything, remember... you still get alouance for goodness sake!" The woman yelled.

(OOC: I'm just going to stop it there... heh heh)

[-:-Shade-:-]

(OOC: I'm going to have a hard time with this one... accually, I'm just going to start in the middle of your post ><)

IC: Shade stared at the fighting pair. *So the boss' stuff wasn't on sale, but my staff was... Does that mean I'll have to give the leather tunic back then, and what about the bosses stuff?* Shade thought as he listened to the pair. Only shortly after he thought this, the older woman walked over to them and said they could keep the stuff they had bought. "Thanks, mizz..." Shade started before he was interupted by the blonde whose name he now knew was Brock.

Shade didn't really mind though, instead of finishing his sentence he turned to Mika and asked her quietly, "This might take a while... think we should leave?"

[[M]ika;*]

Mika was getting the coins from her pocket to give to the man, while Shade was paying for his stuff. Then Mika got her things from him and was about to give her money to him, then all of a sudden there was a noise from the back of the store. Mika looked that way and there a lady standing in the doorway. Then the lady started to yell at the man, which his name apparently was Brock. Brock went behind Mika, it looked like he was trying to hide from the lady. Mika was listening to their conversation and started giggling. She was trying her best not to laugh out loud. The lady that was yelling at Brock, that was actually the owner of the shop came up to them and said Sorry you got caught up in my sons idiocy. I'll let you keep the things you bought, I'll get my son to pay for what you didn't so it's all right. "Thats okay with me." she said still trying not to laugh. She heard Shade say think we should leave "Yeah lets leave" she said giving the coins to Terry. While Mika and Shade were walking to the door she heard Terry say You live at home, I pay for everything, remember... you still get allowance for goodness sake! Right there and then she burst out laughing.

[-:-Shade-:-]

"Yeah let's leave." Shade heard Mika reply to his question. Then they started to head for the door. Shade ran ahead, like always, and turned around as he heard Mika go into a fit of laughter. "What?! What happened?! Are you laughing at me? It's because I'm short isn't it!" Shade burst out fake crying, not having heard the last comment from the pair inside.

[[M]ika;*]

While Mika was laughing she heard shade say What?! What happened?! Are you laughing at me? It's because I'm short isn't it! Then all of a sudden he started crying, she went up to him. " Oh, dont cry please dont i want laughing at you, I was just laughing at their conversation so please stop crying" she said trying to stop laughing "So lets go now ok." Mika said getting up and walking to the door.

[-:-Shade-:-]

"Ok!" Shade said, the fake tears stopping imediately and the frown on his black blur of a face turning into his usual grin. "Let's go! ...Hey Boss, wanna stop by the bar and see if there's a quest posted that we can join?!" Shade asked happily, already starting to walk toward the bar.

(OoC: I'm just going to go to the bar then... you can still reply here though first to close it.)

[[M]ika;*]

Mika was surprised that right away that Shade stopped crying and he was all happy. Then heard Shade say "Let's go! ...Hey Boss, wanna stop by the bar and see if there's a quest posted that we can join?!" "OK, let's go" Mika said while following Shade.
