Shopping and Stopping By (JT)

[Uli Babler]

Uli was enjoying the fine summer air as he smiled, his black spectacled glasses hanging off the edge of his nose, as he looked around the shopping district of Karakura town. He didn't know exactly what he was looking for but he knew he'd know it when he saw it. He felt a spiritual energy around the area and felt it might be best to check it out, and he even had a funny feeling he might find a replacement for his bow while he checked out this mysterious energy in the shopping district. He followed his "nose", and headed down the street to a corner where he found a very peculiar looking place that most people just wandered past, not even glancing in the large bay windows, let alone to touch the glass front door. 

Uli stepped forth and pushed the glass door open and stepped inside to be met with a very musty smell, as if someone hadn't dusted in quite some time. Uli cringed a little and crinkled his nose, but his eyes lit up as he looked around. First, there were large display cases lining the back of the shop filled with small weapons such as kunai, throwing stars, and knives along with other miscellaneous pieces. And along the walls were blades, swords of many shapes and styles. There was even a Nodachi that made Uli wonder how anyone would ever lift it. On the main floor of the shop were other display cases holding large bows and axes. The Former caught Uli's eyes more than the latter and he went to touch the display case holding one of the large bows.

"I wonder what kind of pretty penny you'd cost..." Through the glass Uli could feel the spiritual energy radiating off of the weapons. Then his eyes narrowed as a thought crossed his mind. 'Who would be so powerful as to collect all these... or so foolish as to sell them to any idiot walking into a store...' Uli looked around, trying to spy out an employee but there were none. He then looked up at the ceiling, to the corners of the shop, so as to possibly spot a camera but still, there were none. "And who would leave all these so defenseless..." Uli wondered out loud to himself, running his right gloved hand through the spiky blond hair. Uli took a step with his black leather booted right foot towards what looked to be a register on the back room display case. He felt quite alone so he didn't mind speaking out loud with his thoughts at the moment.

[Kitai Yoru]

It was a day like any other for a certain Lunatic. "It's over Kitai!" Kitai said to Kitai. "We're sick and tired of not getting paid!" That was a load of crap and they all knew it. Kitai had decided to try and expand his business to other areas, so he decided to clone himself a few dozen times. There was currently thirty seven Kitai standing in the underground basement, somehow holding signs that he would swear they didn't have when he made them. "We've decided to unionize!" Kitai recoiled as if he were slapped, hissing at the words that no employer wanted to hear out of his employees.

"Traitors! Not even half an hour and you're stabbing me in the back!?" He yells, fist clenched in anger. His teeth were grinding in frustration, and now he had to figure out a way to placate three dozen copies of himself, or loose an afternoon by killing the clones. The Kitai at the front pulled out a list- a freaking list- and was about to start naming their demands, when a buzzer went off. Simultaneously, every Kitai looked at the ceiling. "I'll get it!" "No, I'll get it!" "THIS IS MY SHOP!" "NO IT'S MINE!" And in an instant, all of the Kitai started brawling over who would greet the person who entered the shop.

The real Kitai slipped away, using his Interdimensional Doorknob to teleport away. In the backrooms of the Kitai Shop, a door manifested onto one of the walls. Kitai rushed through it, slamming the door behind him, with the door fading out of existence, the brief sound of banging heard from behind. "Hello there! Welcome to, 'The Kitai Shop'!" Kitai welcomed, strolling out to greet the potential costumer "I am Kitai! I sell custom made clothing, weapons, trinkets, various things of debatable legality, and repairs for just about anything! Has anything caught your eye?" He recites his spiel flamboyantly, sounding rather grandiose, in his personal opinion.

[Uli Babler]

Uli jumped a little at the sight of seeing someone run out of the back of the shop, from what seemed to be impossibly small to have not heard Uli enter and immediately let themselves be seen. "Um... where'd you come from?" Uli leaned a little bit to the side, trying to peer passed the person and to look into the back room. Uli then took a moment to absorb the spiel being given to him as to the function of the shop and raised an eyebrow at one part in particular. "Debatable legality? Whose debating and should I be worried about purchasing something from you." Uli felt like a kid in a candy shop but the candy might be laced with a hallucinogen that would make his mind go gooey. And if it was the good kind of gooey was definitely up for debate.

"I'm looking for something that I can possibly learn how to fire arrows better with. I don't really have much experience or ability to unleash... well my god given abilities." Uli grinned wide, rubbing the back of his head. He was certainly an open book but being so openly honest might be a problem with a random stranger. But he definitely noticed the strength of some of these items and that definitely tipped Uli off that this person might be more than well aware of the world behind the average one. "I just can't make things work, y'know what I mean?" Now Uli was making it a direct challenge of sorts so as to get this Kitai to either give up how much he knows or see if he doesn't.

"Plus... you know these things can be very dangerous in the wrong hands, right? Especially out here in the open. And where are your cameras? Shouldn't you keep these things on as tighter leash or a closer eye? It seems extremely negligent for a shop of this kind to be so easily found and infiltrated by anybody. What's gonna keep anyone from just say, walking in and beating down on this glass, pilfering your items, and taking them off to the boonies to shoot up a school full of spiritual beings?" Uli grinned wide again, nervously showing off the whites of his teeth while his glasses slipped slightly down his nose and revealing his birght blue eyes as he blinked nervously at this guy.
