Tyrone took a piece of paper, and wrote on it. He handed it to Zane.
....there were a LOT of zeros....
English
-
[b]He nervously chuckles.[/b] "Could I speak to Tina about this?"
-
"Well helloooooo!" Tina quickly makes her way over, like she rehearsed this. "What's up hero man?"
-
"Ah...This bill is a bit....Out of my price range so to speak. I was hoping we could work out a deal."
-
"Oh 100% absolutely! What seems to be the issue?!" She picks up the piece of paper. "Wowie! That's a lot of O's big man!"
-
"And more money that I've ever earned in my entire 35 years of life! So there must be a better way."
-
"Luckily there is!" She tore up the paper, throwing it away as she pulled out a massive steel piece with large bold inscriptions on it. ....it was the exact size of The Armours leg.... "ADVERTISEMENT!"
-
"Ah....What about a your shops logo on the chest? I could also put in a word with some old contacts of mine."
-
"Oh that would be just fabulous!" [i]"Man what an easy mark..."[/i] The last sentence was under Tina's breath as she slapped the piece of metal onto Zanes leg. "Should we get to it?"
-
[b]He picks up what she said due to his old training, and smiles as he throws an arm around her.[/b] "Hm, mind saying that a bit louder?"
-
"SHOULD WE GET TO IT!!!!!????????" Tina pronounced her last sentence much louder. And Tyrone was already getting red spray paint ready.
-
[b]He actives his aura, and extends it, knocking the paint away.[/b] "Now now, you must not know of my background! I'm a former business man you know, and I've been black smithing since you were in diapers...." [b]His attitude complete changes, going from carefree to quite serious. [/b] "So il tell you the proper price for a fix up like that, it's a couple hundred at most! Certainly not the amount you proposed...."
-
The two salesmen look at eachother. Tyrones eyes go wide again as he stares down Zane. Tina, on the other hand, is rather calm. "....Naaaaaah! Pretty sure that price made sense!" "Especially on a high piece of Phoenix equipment...." Tiekal, the red haired man, walked into the armour shop, writing down notes in a small pad. "And the shields themselves would be difficult to get around in constructing the suit without being electrocuted. As we can see from Tyrones hands...." Tyrones hands were a dark black, burnt. "It seems he couldn't escape such a hazard. Now, along with the armour, and due to its rare quantity including the graphite cloak, every inch of said armour is worth...a few thousand, to say the least. Now, since it was constructed by the Phoenix, its price increases three fold. To repair such a piece would require intense care as well as resources. Say, Tyrone, how much Graphite do you have on hand?" The large black man raised his fist, saying zero. "And how much before the construction?" He raises his hand saying five. "Five pounds of graphite? Intriguing. Since graphites value per pound is now 2000, that would mean for the amount of graphite, which is the least costly material on such a significant piece of armour, that the cloak alone cost ten thousand. Must I go on....?"
-
"Hm, interesting. And yet when I first got the armor it required none of those things to fix, so thanks for making it stronger! Now on the price? I feel offended that Tina here tried to swindle me, so I'd say this." [b]He walks up to the red haired man.[/b] "Because I'm a nice guy, il forget the whole thing and you'll get ONE favor from me, and I won't destroy your business with horrible rumors."
-
"Horrible rumours? What kind of rumours? Because right now you look like another man who went into serious debt he couldn't pay...." Some fellow citizens were watching the event unfold, then quickly rushed off away into the next courtyard. "Now, to your whole 'not requiring anything to fix.' I'm assuming the armour wasn't set down a mountain and hit...what was it...three or four trees? I bet the cloak wasn't torn apart either, considering it was nearly torn in two when you brought it in. And I have that red armoured fellow right outside the gate to verify you brought in a... Well... Completely broken piece of utter and absolute shit. Now, I would recommend taking up on dear Tina's deal, otherwise your bank will be calling you soon with a very interesting and quite frankly time wasting conversation...." Tiekal held his ground. Even though the man was small, it seemed he relied on his intellect for near each sentence he proposed. Tina still stood in Zanes grasp. Lightly pushing at his arm. Tyrone still stared at Zane with his Beaty wide eyes.
-
"Funny enough...." [b]His aura flares up, powering up the suit.[/b] "I don't even have a bank account." [b]He stands his ground, refusing to be swindled.[/b]
-
The three merchants look at eachother, still barely afraid. "Hmmmm. Alright then. Since you refuse to pay, I suppose that would be considered theft. Correct? I'm sure that wouldn't be pretty on the heros record. I can imagine the headlines now, actually. 'Cocky hero thinks he can get away with anything!' A little long, but I suppose most of the clockbait garbage we see these days would hardly compare...." It seemed that Tiekal had..quite the point.
-
"I offered you an alternative way, a favor from the hero of the dojo. That alone is priceless."
-
"Mmmmmmm. Well I suppose-" "What is going on here?" As Zane turned his head, he saw the red plated samurai. Standing there observing Zanes arm locked around Tina's neck.
-
"Just working out a deal Testuto. Isn't that right?"
-
"No, actually it is not. See, Tesuto, Zane here is refusing to pay. After we offered him a way out by advertising our shop upon his amour during the tournament so that he could get the repair for free on his armour, he seemed to have quite a drastic reaction..." Tesuto took a few steps closer to Zane. "Is that so...?"
-
[b]He takes out a device, it appears to be a recorder.[/b] "Let's see here...." [b]He plays back the whole conversation, including what Tina said.[/b]
-
Zane didn't realize till it was too late that only he could listen to Tina, through his training in his military. So, the recorder couldn't pick it up. It only picked up a conversation of Zane threatening the group. Tesuto rested his hands on the pommels of his blades. "...I would suggest taking that paint job now Zane....."
-
"And ruin my paint job, hell no. Testuto you have to trust me on this, Tina is a swindler."
-
"She made Irina a necklace that would allow her to speak for free..." Tina raised her hand to speak. "Also! It's a paint from the ollimund! It washes off in a day! We just want you to wear it for your big fight okay Guy?! ...please let me go now...."
-
[b]Suddenly a massive ship warps above the dojo, creating a massive wind storm.[/b] "Ah, that would be my old friends...." [b]Many smaller ships fly out and land near the group, and a hatch opens. A giant armored reptile walks out holding a shotgun, it's eyes locking on the group.[/b] "[b]Well well, what do we have here?[/b]"
