:: Having rested for a short while, Sati rises, exiting the back room slowly. Although her body now feels much heavier than it had before, it's light enough for her to move comfortably, and she cracks her knuckles enjoying the metallic ring as she does. She leaves the back room and re-enters the main store, approaching the counter as Dragnolias does. Allowing Ti time to finish off with Ikaris and her other orders, she smiles at the new customer ::
"A bronze shield without any magical properties, I would price at 900. I have one quite similar that could be adapted to fit your specification. However... Bearing in mind that your ordinary bronze cannot with-hold the huge strain that could be put out by many energy projections... and it channels extremes of electricity... A bronze shield, magically enhanced to withhold certain energy projections and your basic non-magical attack would cost somewhere in the range of 1500 to 3000 Gil depending on the strength of shield you would require."
:: Leaving Dragnolias to consider what type of shield would be best for him, she turns to their next customer, greeting Hex with a warm smile ::
"I hope your skeleton is treating you well.... we never did get around to that clash in the parthenon. "
:: She laughs a little, then steps out from behind the counter ::
"I know exactly what would suit you... Something of power... and something that would be, perfectly, you.... no matter when you use it."
:: Stepping forward to meet Hex, she raises her hands... a violet aura spreads out from around Hex, drawing out a part of his essence, what makes Hex Hex... The violet glow seems to seep through everything, bathing the shop in its faint glow, until it withdraws, the violet swirling together in one place... gradually becoming corporeal. As Sati focuses her attention on it, as it gradually begins to take the shape of a sword... Finally, it takes form, the violet fading away, and revealing a slightly curved shining, metallic silver sword, the handle 6 inchese, slightly curved for a better grip. As the sword hovers in the air between them, she reaches over, holding Hex's hand over the sword. She draws her right forefinger across his palm, the sharp metal extending an inch from her fingernail drawing a deep cut across his palm. A few drops of blood drip onto the sword and vanish. His palm itself is surrounded by the familiar violet glow, healing over as she releases him. ::
“The blade itself is curved… Made of adamantium, the very same metal as the one that runs through your body now. One side is very finely edged, as sharp and pin point accurate as any of the Dark Forge’s productions, tapering to a very fine point. The other edge, however, is designed to inflict the maximum amount of pain upon your opponent. The curved edge is grooved irregularly, the grooves designed purely to inflict pain and create messy, bloody wounds. The sword itself is specially fitted to you… When holding it, it will give off a faint shimmer, a colour reflecting your mood… red for anger, black for rage, etc. Alternatively, you can choose to have it remain as a silver colour – it is completely under your control. The blade is perfectly balanced, despite its curve. Upon contact with another human, if you wish it to, it can channel the force of your mood and energy into something more real… For example, should you feel angry, the blade itself will be red hot, feeling cold and emotionless, the blade will cool the person’s skin you are touching to a painful extreme. Not only that, but it is specially designed to remain fully under your control. If anyone else should foolishly decide to hold your sword, the metal ring around the hilt turns… and five seconds later, three sharp blades with flicker out from the hilt, severing the hand of the person holding it instantly. Due to the destructive nature of this sword… I will price it at 3800 Gil.”
:: Satisfied with her work, she slips the blade into its mahogany sheath ::
:: Smiling, she turns her attention to their latest customer, Desire. ::
“Fighting fans seem to be the order of the moment… Lucky then, that they are so versatile. However, something that would turn your enemy completely to ice seems a highly powerful weapon, even at a high price. I can adapt your order slightly… Fighting fans that, on contact with another being, would completely and painfully freeze an area of their body one foot in length, for one post only. The ice power a three time use per battle.. I would price that in the region of 1500… assuming, of course, that is what you want. I’ll give you a minute to decide. Now, your claws… If you truly want those, I’ll leave you in Titania’s capable hands. However… they seem to be the order of the moment.”
:: She winks at the other girl, and the fingernails of her right hand lengthen into deadly sharp, metal claws ::
:: Finally, she turns to MoE’s newest arrival, the vampire Sharlena, listening to her order and nodding slightly, the hint of a smile playing upon her features as she holds out her hand, summoning to her an elegant sheath, withdrawing a perfectly crafted samurai sword ::
“I see… Not to worry, we have something to offer for everyone. An ordinary katana, stainless steel, 22 inches in length… The blade curved slightly, as with the majority of katanas… A very fine edge, of course. It comes complete with the intricately carved sheath for 900 Gil.”
:: She re-sheaths the blade and awaited Sharlena’s decision ::
And if at all possible, I would like it to be cast as a jewel that you would implant in my throat.
