A Hazy Shade of Winter

[Dracos]

"Have something in mind?"

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"Vague things, I suppose it's a 'see what you can find' scenario."

[Dracos]

Dracos nods, driving onwards towards sanfransisco, with the first planned stop being that contact Cy gave him.

[Brian]

All equipment fully charged, Ginrai grumbles something about being relegated to the back seat, again.  Tracy is about a forty minute drive away from Ripon, and you get there without anything untoword happening.  You also find the place that Cy's friend mentioned, though it looks a bit run down.

The King of Swords indeed....

[Dracos]

Dracos parked out front the store first, and headed in with whoever felt like joining him.

Once inside he looks around, appraising the wares.

Dracos

[Rezantis]

Rez follows Drac in and starts looking around the store curiously.

[Brian]

The store is pleasantly improved from the last.  Currently, they only offer short-swords and smaller weapons.  Anything else must be custom ordered, and takes anywhere from a week to two months to make.

But, they do custom engraving on your orders free of charge if it's over 500$!

[Dracos]

Checks the quality of steel on a few of the nicer more balanced looking short-swords.  Anything he can bend in his hands in the least or is 440 steel or below is completely ignored.

Dracos

[Brian]

You find one servicable looking blade.  It looks old, but cared for.  Wooden handle, wrapped in leather.  Good grip.  Good balance.

Small etchings of roses on the crossguard, but what can you do?

[Dracos]

Dracos picks it up and checks the expected expensive pricetag.

Dracos

[Brian]

$270.00.  Well, it's real, at least, instead of an imitation, but still....

[Dracos]

Dracos happily buys it and though requesting the leather sheath it'd been stored in with it.

Dracos

[Brian]

There is no problem aquiring the blade.  The man behind the counter just grunts, nods, hands you a reciept, and waits for the next customer.

[Dracos]

Dracos leads the way out,  "Rez, machete is yours.  Slash in peace."

Dracos

[Rezantis]

"I'll stick it in the bag, but I warn you, I'm not -precisely- sure which is the sharp end.  That's how bad I am."
