Mingling at the Bazaar

Next to the Mall Hotel, a large bazaar sprawled out through the streets. Food stalls, jewelery stalls, plastic surgery stalls...might want to stay away from that last one. But since the bizaar was close by, it served as a good place for the crew to meet up and start their exploration of XaXing.

[[ooc: This is just a general mingling post guys, so jump in and start threads, tag into other people's, whatever you want!]]

The talk earlier from their would-be guide about selling their memories had put Tenaya in a bad mood. Shopping for weapons was always a good way to blow off steam.

"Just browsing for now," she admitted. "But I wouldn't mind something classic. Any suggestions?"

"Something classic, eh?" the man mused, reaching into his jacket. He somehow produced a long service rifle, scope attached. "M1903 Springfield. Bolt-action," he said, handing it almost casually to Tenaya. "1903 to 1936. 'ow's that for classic?"

Tenaya picked up the gun, bouncing it lightly in her hands to appraise the weight.

"Nice," she said, examining it. It would be good to find something that she could use in case she ran into an enemy that was immune to energy rounds. "But I'm more of a melee fighter. Got something for close-range?"

"Gonna have to be more specific, lass," he rasped. "Knives? Machetes? Mauls? You want 'em, I got 'em."

He motioned to the shelves of weapons behind him. "Or if yer not sure, yer welcome to browse."

"Maybe I would be better off browsing," Tenaya realized.

The various weapons on the shelves were certainly something worth checking out. There was a katara (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katara_%28sword%29) that she lingered over for a moment before picking up a cinquedea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinquedea). The weight felt good in her hands, though the hilt seemed a little weak for her grip. Still, something she could barter over.

"How much is this one?" she asked.

Despite appearances, the weapons seller was one of the (few?) merchants not out to completely fleece his customers. Bad for future business. He considered for a moment before typing out a number on his pad and handing it to her. It was eminently reasonable, with the hilt and all.

"That first one ya looked at's better balanced," he said with a careless wave back at the katara. "Ya want, I'll throw in that other for a little extra. Don't feel right, sending a lady off with a piece like that."

Tenaya grinned. It was nice to find a shopkeeper who not only knew what he was talking about, but wasn't pulling anything like the guide from before.

"You've got yourself a deal," she said, laying the credits on the table.

The merchant laughed his croaking laugh, accepting the credits. "Thank ya."

It was always nice to have a deal go smoothly. He appreciated customers who felt the same.
