Kharon Chapter 55
The group walks up to a merchant and Jacob asks him, “We’re in the market for some artillery.”
“Whaddaya got?”, sneers the merchant.
“We got fish.”
“We’re on an island.”
“We have crystals.”
“Not very popular here. People like funner weapons.” The merchant than spots Sparky and his eyebrows raise. “Hmmm…sophisticated A.I. That might fetch you something.”
Emma hugs Sparky and positions her body between him and the merchant. “He’s not for sale.”
Simone then places the hilt of her sword on the merchants table. But before the merchant is able to examine it Luke snatches it back and hands it to Simone. “Don’t give up your weapon.”
“Just tell us who makes the deals here, who raises the sales, I need the name of the fixer”, says Jacob.
“For weapons that's either Johnny or The Mist.”
“Where can we find them?”
“The Mist can be seen at Waterfall Tower. Johnny usually hangs at the Electric Air.”
“What’s that some kind of club”, asks Jacob. The merchant responds by pointing down the street. Jacob turns to Luke. “You go check out this Johnny fella. I’l go check out The Mist.” Jacob uses air quotes when he says ‘The Mist’.
“Sparky and I will come with you”, says Emma.
“Uh…okay….if you want that is”, says Jacob clearly taken aback by this development.
“I’ll go with Luke”, says Simone.
“I believe I will also go with Luke. I always find the dancing of non-Quarsian’s amusing.”
“So be it. But we meet back at the ship in .5 cycles to leave. Got it?”
The others nod and the group splits off.
