Predators and Prey

[TR273]

You could... just... not be a witch?

"Well you could not be a knight...."
"It's something I happen to be very good at, why deny your natural talents?"

*raises eyebrow*
Is that some sort of pun? I’m not getting it. Like, maybe if my name was Edgeworth it would’ve made sense, but like, what?

*Produces a pair of dark glasses from somewhere and puts them on.*
"Eh, you wouldn't get it, you're too mainstream."

*clears throat*
Bicycle pixie wrenches.

"On second thoughts if that was what you were going to spend your money on....sure spend it all on magic stuff!"

*pauses, thinks*

But I cannot set aside morality for pragmatism. The ends don’t justify the means. Sure, the way of evil may lead to greater personal gain or power. But is it worth it?

"Again, you are missing my point, clearly your sense of honour is important to you. In some ways I actually respect that but constantly challenging anyone to a duel for any smudge or slight will lead to your downfall. It makes you predicable and therefore vulnerable, you need to turn the other cheek and accept that not every insult is worth a duel and not ever fight needs to be fought."

I sought some sort of plot hook to point me in the correct direction. I seem to have succeeded.

She feels slightly used, but heads off in the general direction of the 'Magic Market' there should be something there that will help.

No I mean the reason the puns hit close to home isn't my fau—oh never mind

*Produces a pair of dark glasses from somewhere and puts them on.*
"Eh, you wouldn't get it, you're too mainstream."

I was under the impression I was exceedingly against the mainstream. Eh. *shrugs*

"On second thoughts if that was what you were going to spend your money on....sure spend it all on magic stuff!"

No, I’m intentionally missing the point more. You said I couldn’t.

*ponders*
*ponders more*
I cannot deny the merit of your words but their source gives me pause. Then again, ad hominem is a fallacy. Then again, I’m not committing “to the man”, more “to the fox witch”, hehehe!
I’ll think about that...

*follows, explaining to any curious passerby that I’m not associating with any of the wares peddled in this area and am strictly here on quest business*

 

[Ravofox]

So how's your pc situation ravo?

Oh, sorry man, I went to sleep ^^;

The hard drive's getting replaced, I should have it back in a couple of days
Thankies for asking!! *huggles*

 

[Ravofox]

Heeey!!! Why wasn't I invited to the witch battle?!
*sturs cauldron despondently*

 

[TR273]

No, I’m intentionally missing the point more. You said I couldn’t.

"And your first thought was 'wenches'?.... Interesting...."

Some of the passersby produce wands as you pass and fire large blue 'X's into the air behind you, indicating they doubt your words. (Apparently some know you bought large amounts of magic bling a few days ago).
The magic market is a bustling place with many varied beings moving to and fro. Vendors shout from their stalls, customers jostle Infront of the many stalls. A tall wizard is showing off a new acquisition to some friends, a group of witches are chatting under a tree, while above them a druid is gathering plants and moss. Tents and a few buildings are visible in the distance. A few people spot Sally and wave but case dark looks at the knight accompanying her. She suddenly throws an arm around your shoulder and whispers to you.
"Ok, two rules here, First 'Nothing is free.' and we are shopping for something very expensive... information. Two, keep that sword out of sight, the people here don't have a lot of love for knights so if someone says anything or does anything...Let.It.Go! Just remember you are impossibility outnumbered here."
She lets you go and looks around.
"So what exactly are you looking for?"

Grrr...better than nothing, I guess..

*plots to capture a sheep for tomorrow *

Ah, you hath come to the right place, my friend!! Welcome to the livestock-capture spell stall!! My prices are a bargain!!

 

[TR273]

Ah, you hath come to the right place, my friend!! Welcome to the livestock-capture spell stall!! My prices are a bargain!!

i kind of capture sheep from the same herd every time for ‘political’ reasons(not rl based, in story based)

 

[Ravofox]

And your quality is shoddy!!

Hey, do you want me to support tour town's economy or not?!

Association and frequent utilization are two different things! That was a—

*inhales to shout “NO TOUCHEY”*
*notices odd looks*

*adjusts belt so sword is covered by cape*
Truly I venture into the heart of darkness.

Something to devolve Pokemon. I’ve read it’s exceedingly rare, We’re talking major quest material. I’d be thrilled to get so much as an obscure lead.

 

[TR273]

Hey, do you want me to support tour town's economy or not?!

Of course I do, but I have a job to do too.
*Hands you her card.*

Not sure if such a thing exists...

"Well, there is this vendor right here."
Sally points to @Ravofox
"Or we could head over to the mystic quarter and ask a friend of mine Witch Hazel...and don't laugh at her name, now or if we meet her, or you'll find yourself spending the next twenty three years in a jar."
