[Those of you who might happen to watch local news today could catch something not entirely out of place--a simple short piece on a small business reopening in the city. Normal, something you'd find on your average local news. The reporter talks for a minute or two about how this particular family-owned business underwent recent renovations. Apparently in celebration of its reopening, they're offering a small discount for the next few days.]

[Except that one could recognize the refurbished building in the background as the weapon shop that had been standing there since day one.]

[Beside the reporter stands a woman that's named as the shop's owner, Darcy. Beside her is a blonde teenager of about eighteen, apparently her younger sister.]

[The news story ends shortly after, with little else of note--except that no one seems to question the existence of a merchant that explicity sells weaponry.]

[Anyone who investigates further and decides to go to the shop themselves will find the younger girl behind the counter--the interior holds a range of basic weaponry varying in age and quality. Swords, axes, spears, maces--behind the girl working there one would find pistols, rifles, and so on.]

[The girl smiles at whoever walks in, greeting them all the same way:]

Welcome to Katsaros Weaponry, how can I help you today?

Hello. What would you recommend in the way of lances?

[Ledah has a mission and is not distracted by information-gathering.]

[tvknpc]

Hm...let me see.

[She came out from behind the counter, crossing the room to a small collection of lances and spears against the wall.]

That probably depends on what kind of range you want, doesn't it?

[gaveupfeeling]

I'm looking to buy something easy to use to train my partner with.

[unknownrival]

...Do you get a lot of business here?

[tvknpc]

Not lately. You're the second I've seen today.

[unknownrival]

When you say 'not lately' - when did you get a lot of business?

[heavenscorpse]

What happened to the other guy who ran this shop?

[tvknpc]

...What other guy?

[heavenscorpse]

What was his name - Felix! It was Felix, right?

[technologic]

[April wanders into the store and just stops and blinks at the girl.]

... What happened to Felix?

[tvknpc]

[Blink blink.]

Why do people keep asking me about that?

[She sighed, looking mildly exasperated and leaning her head on her hand.]

I don't know anybody named Felix.

[technologic]

Cause there was a weapon store owned by a guy named Felix. And it was right here.

[April just looks confused and rubs the back of her neck.] Maybe he went out of business or something...?

[puppet_show]

Hey! Nice shop you have here!

[tvknpc]

Thanks~! What're you looking for today?

[puppet_show]

Oh, I was just thinking of browsing.

I'm surprised, though! Even if it's reopening, a shop like this could be risky business. How long did you say it's been around?

[ex_cashcow493]

[ Don't mind Saber as she walks right up to the counter. ]

Are you qualified to sell weaponry of this nature to the citizens of this place? [ Peering. ] Or old enough to do so?

[ Says the girl who looks way younger. Saber, why do you even do this to yourself? ]

[tvknpc]

[Eileen, to her credit, seems utterly unfazed by this and keeps right on smiling.]

I'm eighteen years old, and I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing.

[ex_cashcow493]

Then pick up a weapon and prove it.

[ It takes Saber approximately less than two seconds to unsheathe her own sword. Really, how does she get away with walking around with that thing against her back? ]

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Isn't this...? Ahaha, um, I'm just looking for a new staff.

[tvknpc]

Sure thing. How long and what do you want it to be made of?

[forgivethemtheirpain]

Well, I don't want it to be too much taller than I am, and I want to be able to lift it.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

So, all I use right now this this... do you think you could recommend something that's actually a weapon?

[Sakurako holds up a lacrosse stick and a small bag full of bocce balls.]

[tvknpc]

...

[S t a r e]

How do you...do you just launch them or something?

[soulsborderline]

[A fourteen-year-old girl just came in and put a fire axe on the counter. Loudly.]

What can you give me that's an upgrade from this?

[tvknpc]

Depends. Do you want a hatchet, a halberd, or a mace with the same range?
