A phantasy script.

The Phantasy Script Part 40: The Unnamed Shop

As this is the fortieth part, I feel that it is only fair that I shed some light upon the story so far.

After the four members of the Pioneer Two had accepted a quest, they were eventually portalled to a medieval-style place that is similar to the world of Dungeons and Dragons. However, due to an over-sight from the Principle of said ship, the entire reality has changed to mix Dungeons and Dragons AND Phantasy Star Online. All caught up and understood? Excellent, allow me to continue on with the script.

Rig-Happy: Hello! Welcome to the Unnamed shop! I'm Rig-Happy! How can I help you?

The small creature climbs up a bar stool and sits down; a fluffy, pink, bunny eared bird, with a small vest is seen by Jokesum as he approaches the counter.

Jokesum: Oh, hello there!

Jokesum bows towards the bird, bringing his fedora off of his head then standing back up and replacing it.

Rig-Happy: You've come here for purchases, or sales?

Jokesum: I am sorry, I've come to sell you some items.

Rig-Happy: Then, please, show me your wears!

Shuffling through his item bag, Jokesum pulls out Yuuki's necklace. It glistens in the light, as the bird shields its eyes from the glare.

Jokesum: This diamond necklace, what would you barter me for it?

Rig-Happy: Oh, fancy! Let me see the carat quality, please.

Handing it over, the bird then ruffles its feathers and produces a small magnifying glass as it looks deeply into the diamonds.

Rig-Happy: Not a bad quality! Overall, a decent necklace. Though, if broken down, each diamond could give you...five gold a piece!

Jokesum: I'm not looking to get rich here and I don't want to run you out of gold.

Rig-Happy: Gold can be obtained, fret ye not!

Jokesum: So, I'm happy to take say...five gold a diamond, minus the fact that it's still in necklace form, plus there are four of them on there...fifteen gold?

Rig-Happy: You are underselling this necklace my good Sir! Though, how about I also through in some rations. For your journey?

Jokesum: That is a done deal!

The two shake hand and feather as Jokesums takes the gold from the bird before taking out his first weapon; the six inch wand.

Rig-Happy: You're a wizard, tiefling!

Jokesum: Nice, though more of a Druid/ Warlock.

Rig-Happy: This will get you five silver pieces.

Jokesum: Fair, thank you!

The two swap the silver for the wand as Jokesum nods towards the shop owner. Then, noticing Jokesums strapped back, Rig begins to look flustered.

Rig-Happy: The glass eye of sight! My goodness!

Jokesum: Oh, this? Yeah, I cannot fit it in any bag.

Rig-Happy: I have a story to tell you of this, if you have time?

Putting his money away, Jokesum then shrugs.

Jokesum: I'd love to hear more about this, please do.

The shops door suddenly seals shut as what seems like all of the light from it dims until only Rig's fluffy feathered face is seen.

Rig-Happy: Long ago, before man and beast were foes, there stood tall a mighty cyclops! It's intent upon the world, was to destroy everything that stood in its way. Until, one fateful day when a young lava genasi took upon itself to defeat this tall, towering terror! Climbing to the hills of the floating isle, this genasi could see the entire plane of existence as it saw the cyclops stride over continents. With a swift prayer to their god, the genasi asked them to bring down the beast with a killing blow. After seven days of waiting, high atop the mountains, a clap of thunder. Louder than anything anyone at the time had heard, came from above as lightning struck the cyclops down. Though, as fate would have it, this did not destroy the body of the beast. Instead, it had been entirely turned to glass. Thus, this is how the glass eye of sight was formed!

The light begins to enter the room once more as Jokesum looks around the shop and is taken back by this story.

Jokesum: Your story was enthralling!

Rig-Happy: And true! Many who have heard of this eye have all learnt about its long past.

Jokesum: Do you know how it works?

Rig-Happy: With some attuning, one can see into past, present and future events of anywhere that they desire.

Jokesum: Is there anything that I can use to, you know, carry it?

Rig-Happy: It is but one pound in weight. Also, as it is touching you, you will attune to it faster than if it were in a bag.

Jokesum: I thank you, kind Rig. Good day!

Tipping his fedora slightly, Jokesum makes his way out of the shop and then walks down the street towards the tavern.
