You find one at the end of the street you walk along. The outside of the shop is graffitied with beautiful neon koi fish and lilies. An overgrown animal, what looks to be a gigantic, pug-nosed dog, sits peacefully at the front door, its long tongue lolling out of its mouth as it pants, its vibrant amber eyes looking at passersby. It is chained to the wall by a fancy collar around its neck.

He smiles at the dog as he walks by, wanting to pet it but not sure if it's friendly or not. As he walks in he announces " I'm here to sell, and probably buy" with usual smile. He walks up to the counter and reaches into his bag, he pulls out 3 anti-gravity grenades he got as a reward and places them on the counter. "These aren't my specialty, and it would be a shame to just have them sitting in my bag with nary a purpose, so I thought I'd bring them here"
-
The cashier, an elderly Asian man with tropical clothing on, looks at the grenades with a marveled [i]ooooohhhhhh![/i] and takes them under the counter. "Yes, yes, we take those." he says as he downloads 1,800 Credits into your virtual wallet. "Now would you like to buy anything?"
-
"Yes" he says with a bit of enthusiasm. "I'm into the pointy stuff" he says in a tone that's as joyful as it is creepy. "Show me everything that cuts, from the tiniest knife to the largest blade" He says as he spreads his arms out, as if he's sizing a sword. ((800+1,800= currently 2,600 credits total))
-
((Nice.)) He gives you a list of everything bladed in stock: -Steel Katana/550 C -CK-12 Combat Knife/500 C -Bayonet/500 C -Dual Kunais/550 C
-
((What's the difference between my CK-12 and a Bayonet?))
-
((CK-12 is simply a handheld combat knife with a serrated blade while the Bayonet is a thin dagger connected to the barrel of a firearm.))
-
After a while of browsing, he points at the dual kunais and says "I'll take those" He transfers the appropriate credits to the shop on his wac-pad.
-
As you pay the 550 Credits, the cashier whips out a kazoo and blows into it, throwing confetti at you. "Congratulations!" he says, "You are my 100th customer! You get free dog!" He then gets out a large brass bell and rattles it. You look behind you to see the front door open and that strange dog walk through it. It sits down heavily at the entrance, panting. It's shaggy and curly fur is grey and brown, and it looks a least 5'6 as it sits down, almost as tall as you! Damn, that thing is gargantuan. ((Here's my drawing of it: http://imgur.com/GSAe5th ))
-
(-550 credits) He takes his blades and adjusts them inside his coat with his combat knife. He walks out of the shop and smiles at the dog again as he continues walking down the street with half of his melon soda float left. He scratches under his eye, picking at his dark circle. [i]I need sleep[/i] he thinks as he heads to the park to freeload of a bench, or whatever he can find to sleep on. [u][b]Curtain[/b][/u]
-
((Don't you take the dog? It could be a valuable pet.))
-
((Fancy collar, I'm it's already someone else's xD. A wallet or a bike I'd probably steal, or some KAP pills*cough* but not a dog xD ))
-
((No, the cashier owns it, and he's giving it to you as a prize for being his 1,000th customer. Didn't you see the post?))
-
((I didn't, guess I'll take him with me then))
-
((Alright.)) The foo-dog follows you through the Tokyo Town streets. Maybe you should name him?
-
He wakes up from the park bench after about 4 hours of sleep, all he needs. He gets up and stretches his arms and he yawns. [i]Good thing I didn't get fined this time[/i] he thinks as he looks around, morning dew was always something extravagant to see. He turns to the dog "I had a dream" he says with a smile. "I'll spare you the boring details but it involved an old tale I used to admire, one of two siblings who go through rock bottom together, only to quarrel when they finally climb out" He goes over to the dog who's sitting, no need to crouch since the thing is already so tall! "Not sure which way our relationship will work as we get to know each other more, but it's never inconvenient to have company. I shall name you, Rom"
-
Rom, panting, blinks slowly, then sneezes. He is a simple character, you notice, but he may not be so simplistic after all after you get to know him. Hopefully.
-
"Well then" He says with a smile, simplicity isn't always synonymous with dull. "Let's go get something to eat, I gotta see about keeping you properly fed" He says as walks down the road on his way to a local diner. Rom follows closely behind. Zhackie turns his head to Rom as a strange thought occurs to him, [i]Wonder if I can ride him[/i] he thinks. He quickly shakes the thought out of his head and smiles at his own strange mind as he continues to walk down the street with his hands in his pocket. [u][b]End[/b][/u]((Unless you have something to add))
-
((No, it's fine ending there. Funny thought, though. I actually wonder if he's ridable, too...))
