005 [Audio/Action]

[Audio]
Yo. Everyone.

[It was midday that he addressed the village as a whole, without any lead-in or hint of apology in his tone for being so goddamn casual.]

I'm lookin' for a friend of mine. He's got long hair and has a pet pig-- lemme know if you see him.

[Action]

[It was training, Souji had been insisting for the last few weeks when he set an enraged, squealing Saizou upon him without any warning. Speed training for a little game between the two of them that they both had a stake in. And, finally-- after many days of running from the grumpy little pig-- the game was on.

Cliff had 24 hours to catch Souji. Truth be told, he had no idea what the little prankster was up to.

He'll be anywhere and everywhere around town that day, searching every corner and under every table for any hint of that teasing smile...all the while remaining on high alert for anything that would attempt to dive-bomb him.]

If it's just simple things then the equipment I'd normally use wouldn't work here then. Unless of course, the simple ideas are magic infused, then I'll have loads of fun with those, but... [She had a small frown on her face as she scratched her chin.]

Those are hard to come by sometimes. [For a space pirate at least.]

Are you talking about enchanting weapons? 'Cause I know a few people who might be able to help if that's all you wanna do.

Not just weapons. Any sort of tech that might be available can have some sort of arcane infusion in them. At least, that's the case where I'm from. And it's not something I'm too worried about. [She paused for a moment, thinking things over.]

Unless the people you know can construct firearms that are able to handle high levels of energy being pumped into them, then I'd definitely would love to be introduced to them.

[He hummed thoughtfully.]

Are you talking about something along the lines of a photonic blaster? If I had the right parts I might be able to make something for you...

But. Hm. We never thought of adding Symbols to a blaster before.

Anything's just fine by me, really, so long as it can handle the strain... And not explode in my hands. [It's happened once before. Never again.]

[He hissed a breath at the thought of a gun of a gun overloading-- thought he wasn't a gunner himself, he was well aware of the dangers of working with the tech.]

Don't worry, that won't happen. Not on my watch.

[The assurance certainly made Karis a bit giddy, and it was showing in her eyes as there was a bright spark in them. If all goes well, she could finally use her full potential as a spellslinger.]

That's great to hear, and uh, if you do actually end up making this for me in the end, I'll have to repay you somehow! [She didn't really have much to offer, but she might think of something.]

So, thanks, uh... Oh, I don't think I've caught your name yet.

It's Cliff-- and payback isn't necessary. If anything, we might need you to work a little on it too.

[He didn't care about whether he got paid or not, because actually doing something practical was payment enough. The only problem was supplies-- he didn't know what was available on hand in the smithy at the moment.]

Well, Cliff, that's something I can certainly do. [She'll just use that as her "payment" instead.]

Oh, the name's Karis by the way. [Might as well get that out of the way while she had the chance.]

Karis? That's a nifty name.

[However, he still couldn't tell the stranger's gender-- the name sounded like it was on the more feminine side of neutral, but so did names like 'Alexis'.

No matter-- the truth will reveal itself in time.]

It's nice meeting you. We'll need to talk more about the kinda gun you're looking for before we get to it...but we'll need a rain check on that. I've got a deadline right now.

[That truth could be revealed quickly here or not for months on end here Cliff. There is no inbetween.]

Oh, right! You're looking for someone. [She gave him a sheepish smile, feeling a bit bad for keeping him.] Though I didn't think you'd have a deadline on that sort of thing.

That's cool. It's a contest, you see. [He grinned broadly.] Winner get's loser to do whatever he wants-- and I've gotta win. My friend's probably got something insane planned for me if the game's his.

Hopefully it's not something that'll get taken too far. [She didn't want to imagine the possible results.]

Though I do wish you luck! Sorry again that I can't really help you look for him with the tracking spell.

[Odds were high that glitter was somehow involved in the shenanigans. No harm, but it was almost impossible to clean up.]

Thanks. I'm gonna need it. [He grinned, clearly not as worried about the consequences as he ought to be.] We'll talk later. See ya, Karis!

Till next time Cliff! [She leaves him with a wave of her hand, letting him go back to his searching.]
