Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

Vendors from either side of Yuri's path beckon toward him, shouting.

"Come here, come here! Good price for a nice shiny sword!" "This way this way and you'll get a great deal!"

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

Well if it's shiny...

[wandering over]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

The merchant brightens, holding out an indeed shiny sword with a flourish.

"Got a nice one right here, finest steel around."

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

How much?

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

"Aah, good man, good eye, just for you a good deal. It'll only cost one."

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

One what? Kidney?

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

The man laughs in return.

"Oh no no I wouldn't charge you that much of course."

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

I have a feeling it's out of my price range. Thanks but no thanks.

[and moving on]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

Because you're Yuri Lowell, I'm sure you'll pick up on that little feeling of something sharp flying straight at your back.

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

[yes a familiar feeling.

whirling around and striking it down with his sword]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

The merchant with the sword gives a laugh then, jogging over to retrieve the dagger on the ground.

"Ah, sorry, sorry. Slippery hands and all."

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

[leans over and plucks the dagger up]

No hard feelings.

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

He gives another laugh, all greasy and bad feelings.

"Oh no no, none at all."

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

That's what I thought.

[tucking the dagger away and continuing]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

The merchant glowers a bit from behind, silently returning to his booth. The rest of the merchants around Yuri are watching him more carefully now, voices lowering when he passes by.

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

Jut like home.

[ignoring them, trying to get to the end of the market]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

With people making it a point to move out of your way, you'll find a much easier time getting to the market's exit.

Once out, you find yourself in a simple dark room with two new doors, one reading 'Testing Facility' and other reading 'Training Facility'.

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

[consults the hidden passages book. Is this connected to anywhere else?]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

The training facility seems to eventually lead back to the rest of the villa. The testing facility continues on elsewhere...

Re: The Underground: Market

[edgeofjustice]

Not a fan of tests, but...

[might as well skip the training. heading for testing!]

Re: The Underground: Market

[dramatispersonae]

In you go, Yuri.
