Adventure Twisted Side Story - CRAZZZZY RAT AND HIS CAST OF

[Carthrat]

Carthrat picks himself up off the floor..

"Geez, Shizue, for all you know, I'm a virgin. How can you claim to have me?"

[Anastasia]

Shizue chan giggles yet again....You have to wonder if this girl is on laughing gas or something.

"Oh, you handle yourself far too....experiencely to be unexpeirenced, Ratty."

[Carthrat]

"Geez. How 'bout this? You do some research into my past."

As if you'll find anything.

"There's a certain few details in it that will make *everything* become clear, I assure you.

Who knows? By then, I might've changed my mind."

[Anastasia]

"Maybe I should...Hmm, I think the pizza should be here about now. Let's go eat."

Second post coming in a few.

[Anastasia]

The meal and the rest of the short visit with Shizue chan goes without incident. It is about 2 PM when you leave her riot of a home.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat, bored out his mind (well, you wouldn't be bored if you stayed with Shizue

-Shut up, internal monolouge!)

heads over to Shinjuku, intent on buying himself a new mobile phone.

His last one is currently under a pile of dirt in Falx..

[Anastasia]

Via cab, you reach Shinjuku and get a brand spanking new cell phone in an hour and change. Nothing fancy, but quite serviceable.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat wanders about Shinjuku somewhat aimlessly, browsing Japan's most well known shopping district..

[Anastasia]

You soon find yourself in a small, quiet corner of the district. Small, personal shops dot the area, various goods being sold. You have been here a time or two before with CyMage, as one of his component suppliers has an office around here. It is common knowledge among those with an ear to the ground all sorts of magic related things are sold and practiced here.

At least half the shops look to be covers for more arcane pursuits, by your guess. Likely more.

A few shops catch your eye by selling machines that seem far too advanced for normal use...

[Carthrat]

Carthrat narrows his eyes at the advanced sector. Despite the 3rd Intergalactic Patenting law (threatens Death, Disembowlment, and whatever the original owner decides to do to whoever stole his patent), he knows people have a find time stealing each other's inventions.

Being the genius Carthrat is, he's been forced to.. er.. deal with certain peope who seem to think *they* invented such brilliant inventions as the Reverse Singularity Distortian Bombarment Array Cannon, and of course the Really Big Cannon.

He spies out his various other inventions, most of which could only be detected by two things; either the Serial Number, or the large print with "This Invention was made by Karthuratsu Tanewaki, freelance bum."

[Anastasia]

As you browse these goods , you notice something that makes your heart skip.  A newish poster is on a wall, with images of a Quake 3 railgun.  Garish red text below it says:

"Get YOUR special, limited edition, 'enhanced' RAILGUN today! Only $10, 000 at the Warrens!"

[Carthrat]

"That's... that's... that's not a railgun!"

Carthrat stomps into the store, rolling up his sleevs...

[Anastasia]

It is a small corner store, somewhat isolated even in this back part of town.

Inside is a mismash of mecanical weapons and various, ornate staffs, rods, swords and books.  A small memory tugs the back of your mind...

CyMage telling you that 'enhanced weaponry' in magic terms means highly powerful but unstable magic enhanced mech weapons.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat looks around.

"Right! I'm Koran Kalzo from the Dangerous Weaponary Reclamation Centre!" he yells out, brandisihng a business card with the aforementioned information on it.

"You! Are you the owner?" he continues, point at the clerk or whatever.

[Anastasia]

From behind the counter, a older woman comes out. She is perhaps 55, with short, page boy grey hair. She looks to have been rather average in her day, and the simple and tasteful black robe she wears goes nicely with that. She frowns at you and sighs.

"I don't know or care who you are, but what in the name of Mystrix are you DOING?"
