Sixth Piece of Eight [Action]

Jan 26, 2010 12:39

[At the crossroads near Houses 16 and 27, a small, less-than sturdy kiosk has gone up. It has a big sign which says "Threepwood's Previously Owned Souvenir Emporium". It's full of random objects such as a large stack of books, bottles of alcohol, sets of silverware, a leather jacket, a coffin, and a single porcelain urn which is placed in a corner ( Read more... )

[Sokka comes up, slams a fist on the kiosk, and with a conspiratorial glance both ways, he lowers his voice and speaks.]

I need a flammable fuel source. Plenty of it and not too explosive... and I don't want anyone knowing where I got it.

[Talking fast, and gesturing with every word. Imitating Stan]

Well, sir, I have for you one genuine mahogany coffin. Nice and large, and with a satin lining that should make good kindling. What's more, we're completely discreet. No messy receipts or sales records to trace it back to you.

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:22:45 UTC

No no, that's no good. It needs to be liquid and portable. What else you got?

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:31:24 UTC

[He pauses for a moment.]

Alcohol! We've got lots of alcohol right here. Both liquid and flammable.

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:32:07 UTC

What's the most flammable stuff you have?

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:35:19 UTC

[He grabs several bottles and sets them in front of Sokka.]

Rum! That should give you a nice burn. And that's quality stuff, too.

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:36:18 UTC

Yes... this should do nicely. Pleasure doing business with you. [Sokka appropriates the bottles.]

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:37:05 UTC

The pleasure it mine. That'll be twenty pieces of eight.

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:38:30 UTC

Err, what?

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:43:30 UTC

Twenty pieces of eight. 160 reales. That's how much it costs.

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:44:13 UTC

I don't know if you noticed, but no one has any money here. And I could like, walk right over there and get the same stuff from the bar.

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:46:08 UTC

But I gotta make a profit somehow...

Got anything to trade?

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:46:55 UTC

... I've got some old furniture I could trade.

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:47:44 UTC

That'll work! Then I can sell it for an even greater profit...

markofthewise January 27 2010, 18:48:51 UTC

You'll just need to help me move it out, is all. [Which will solve THAT problem. Sokka is on the ball today!]

fightlikeacow January 27 2010, 18:52:17 UTC

I'd be glad to.
