The clocks all stop. "Sir, are you threatening me in my own store?"
-
[i]"Don't call it 'Threatening' as much as 'Getting what I already paid for." The clocks didn't seem to phase JT in the slightest. Rather, he stood taller now, his muscle-bound frame an imposing figure with his height of six foot three. He straightened himself up to give off a more threatening feeling, which was only amplified by the electric blue eyes in his head flickering like a jolt of energy ran through them. "Now, ask yourself: Is it worth your life to extort more money out of me, after I already paid millions?" [/i]
-
"Hm. You know you could have just explained that it was an advance payment and we could have skipped this nonsense." She hands over the clock, and the rest resume ticking at one tick a second.
-
[i]"Thank ya kindly," JT said as his demeanour shifted once more, becoming more of a calm, relaxed one. He took the clock and chuckled to himself, before putting it in his duster pocket. [/i]
-
"Anything else you'll be commissioning while you're here?"
-
[i]"Yeah, I kinda want to get something simple: A pocket watch with this logo on it." JT pulled the badge he used out of his duster pocket, sliding it across the table to the woman. "Careful with it, a good bud of mine made it." [/i]
-
She carefully examined the logo. "Any particular materials?"
-
[i]"Brass and bismuth." [/i]
-
"No problem I've got both on hand."
-
[i]"You had bismuth in supply? Huh." [/i]
-
"I keep a little bit of everything on hand."
-
[i]"Everything, you say?". [/i]
-
"What exactly are you thinking of?"
-
[i]"Something more reactive than my ex, I need shit to blow up." [/i]
-
"I don't keep explosives."
-
[i]"I know. But some sort of hyper reactive metal goes a long way." [/i]
-
"I don't, mostly because I don't want to blow up my shop/house/car."
-
[i]"Shophousecar?" [/i] [spoiler]Whenever someone uses devices like a "/" in writing, JT immediately takes the jackass route. [/spoiler]
-
"Yeah. Not gonna risk that blowing up."
-
[i]"Right. Then just bismuth and bronze." [/i]
-
"No problem, shouldn't take long."

She heads into the back and the clocks stop again. One minute later they tick once.
-
[i]"Some slow ass clocks on these walls." [/i]
-
Silence.
