"Yeah, I'll take em. So how do i register with them?"

“Hmm? We’ll deal with that one the payment comes through. The total for these pants will be....” Ralphie flipped through his ledger again, before stopping. “Ah? Yes. That will cold to 32 million seven hundred and thirty two thousand.”

[i]Zane nearly fell over when he heard the price. Instead, he managed to catch himself by forming his buster sword[/i] "Ah....Would you mind holding onto those for me? I don't have that kinda cash. I'm wealthy, but not that wealthy."

“Eh? Nah, no guarantees. The man who purchased these two other pairs has them on hold because he already bought em! Though...perhaps I could lower the price for you...” the man would tell Zane.

"Uh huh....Let me guess, if I do a favor you'll lower them? What do you need done?"

“Well you see, these pants didn’t simply appear. They had to have been created. It’s taken me some time, but I have finally located the source from which they had all come from, just recently actually. You see, they were created using an ancient tool. Similar to a sewing machine but imbued with the arcane. The machine is called [i]The Stringmaker[/i]. You see, business is hard these days. Sure a few rich hoo-ha’s show up and make a big buy, but the pants will never be able to go full scale. And since everyone is more interested in them exo suits and techno bobbles, which end up being cheaper then what we got here, they don’t buy! So if I’m able to make more, pants, essentially copies based off of the originals, I’ll be able to lower the prices and attract a wider variety of customers... So I need you to venture to the Tatakoi plains and find this machine for me. THEN, we can lower the price....”

"That's all? Should be easy, where is the machine rumored to be located in the plains?"
