"I dont know, you got any pants that allow the user to use elemental magic?"

The tension seemed to cease then, and the elder seemed a little more focused now that they were talking business. Zane would also figure this man was called Mr.Ralphie, due to the shop name. “None are a jack of all trades.” Ralphie would tell Zane. “Some allow the user to use fire, others allow the manipulation of water, there are some relevant to electricity and etcetera etcetera. However these sort of pants require registration, after all we wouldn’t grant a child the ability to throw fire balls around!”
-
"Naturally. Well I use to be a spell slinger but I had to give up my magic. Fighting without spells can be pretty difficult, plus I've began to miss controlling the elements. What do you have that could help?"
-
The old man pulled a large ledger out from under the counter, and licked his index finger before starting to flip the pages. He pointed things out as he went through the massive ledger. “Mmm. Here’s one that grants the ability to call on lightning, however it would have to be during a storm. Another here allows the user to cast a fire ball, but it would only work in temperatures where a fire could easily form...Ah there’s one here that lets someone use ice, but it would only work in a place such as the Ko-Rudo mountains.” Ralphi would tell Zane. All the pants he mentioned seemed rather...dull.

-
“There were only two pairs that could be considered the most powerful...and you destroyed them both I believe...” the man would say bitterly. “No...none are the best. My prices are based off rarity of the type. See no pair of pants is the same, rather they belong to a branch. For example I have many pants of holding, but none of them hold the exact same amount. Hmmmm...however I think I may have a pair best suited to what you are looking for....”
-
"Really then? May I see them then? What is it that they do if I may ask?"
-
The elder would open up the pathway behind his desk, and waved Zane over to behind the counter where Ralphie walked down the aisle of pants.

[i]He followed behind the shop owner, looking over the different types of pants.[/i]

Edited by Inflatablepants: 12/24/2017 7:23:30 PMThe man would suddenly stop as the two approached a glass case. In it were three different pairs. The elder pointed at the pair in the middle. It was a pair of black pants, with red glowing swirls that moved around it. “These here could be what you are looking for. Everyone has magic within them, really. It just takes years of patience and practice to unlock it. These pants act as a key, a shortcut to bypass the time required to meditate and release ones potential. You would still need to practice different spells of course, but this will accelerate the process...”
-
"Yes, That's exactly what I'm looking for. Now these other two pairs caught my eye is well, what do they do?"
-
“Those are reserved for a special client. Under the condition both remain....confidential.”
-
"Ah I see. So there's no way you could tell me what they are, even though the odds of me running into your client are slim to none?"
-
“....No.” Ralphie put bluntly. “Anyways, you want the key pants then?”
-
"Yeah, I'll take em. So how do i register with them?"
-
“Hmm? We’ll deal with that one the payment comes through. The total for these pants will be....” Ralphie flipped through his ledger again, before stopping. “Ah? Yes. That will cold to 32 million seven hundred and thirty two thousand.”

Edited by Zane the 3rd: 12/24/2017 7:50:35 PM[i]Zane nearly fell over when he heard the price. Instead, he managed to catch himself by forming his buster sword[/i] "Ah....Would you mind holding onto those for me? I don't have that kinda cash. I'm wealthy, but not that wealthy."
-
“Eh? Nah, no guarantees. The man who purchased these two other pairs has them on hold because he already bought em! Though...perhaps I could lower the price for you...” the man would tell Zane.
-
Edited by Zane the 3rd: 12/24/2017 7:54:57 PM"Uh huh....Let me guess, if I do a favor you'll lower them? What do you need done?"
-
“Well you see, these pants didn’t simply appear. They had to have been created. It’s taken me some time, but I have finally located the source from which they had all come from, just recently actually. You see, they were created using an ancient tool. Similar to a sewing machine but imbued with the arcane. The machine is called [i]The Stringmaker[/i]. You see, business is hard these days. Sure a few rich hoo-ha’s show up and make a big buy, but the pants will never be able to go full scale. And since everyone is more interested in them exo suits and techno bobbles, which end up being cheaper then what we got here, they don’t buy! So if I’m able to make more, pants, essentially copies based off of the originals, I’ll be able to lower the prices and attract a wider variety of customers... So I need you to venture to the Tatakoi plains and find this machine for me. THEN, we can lower the price....”
-
"That's all? Should be easy, where is the machine rumored to be located in the plains?"
-
“Ah...I’ll get you all the details you need...” [spoiler]end. [/spoiler]
