Title: Here goes nothin'
Description: Will this actually work?
Uruvei - July 11, 2008 12:09 AM (GMT)
Uruvei poked her head into the shop, noticed Centrus of the AM conversing with Nizzy, and decided to slink in and bide her time until either Cent was done or another shopkeeper appeared. She sat on a crate of armor and played with her Black Right Hand Paw. It was one of two in her possession, and she was hoping that the Pawn Shop might help her exchange it for the Left Hand version. Just for fun, she tried jamming her left into it. It didn't fit at all, unless she turned it backwards, so that the pads faced up. She giggled. Some people have two left feet. I have two right hands!

Done with Centrus, Nizam approached the other customer with nothing short of a straight face. "Great. You. What do you want?" And his face twitched...just slightly.

Uruvei, who'd been watching his bizarre behavior with Centrus not five minutes prior, was amazed at his controlled appearance now.
"Uh, um, well, it's like this." The purple-clad girl found it easier to talk to the man of questionable sanity if she didn't actually look at his face. Instead, she stared at the Right Hand Paw she placed on the counter. "You're probably the most well-connected man in The World when it comes to locating items, even rare ones. And I have a bit of a problem related to the rare set I'm trying to complete. You're my only hope for ever accomplishing this goal."
She peeked up at his face to see how the flattery was working. Probably not well, she decided. And she sounded a bit too much like Princess Leia, so it was time to move on to the actual request.
"I've located every piece I can, but there simply do not seem to be any more of them. Instead, I have duplicates. Would it be within your allowed function as a shopkeeper to locate a Black Left Hand Paw and swap it with this one? I'd be willing to pay a finder's fee, of course." She glanced up at his face again, hopeful.
Nizam - July 11, 2008 12:33 AM (GMT)
There was no thought involved. "We can't exchange rares here, I'm sorry." Oddly...he was sorry. That was a new one.
Uruvei - July 11, 2008 12:48 AM (GMT)
His words crashed down on her like a waterfall beating an unfortunate swimmer senseless. She had to squint suddenly to prevent tears from escaping, and just like that her cheerful facade collapsed. This meant too much to be at a dead end! Uruvei leaned earnestly over the counter, voice cracking embarrassingly as she made her plea.
"Please, isn't there something you can do? Maybe someone I could talk to about finding the pieces I need?"
Nizam - July 11, 2008 12:51 AM (GMT)
Nizam simply shook his head. "Rares are found in fields or events, most commonly. That's all the suggestion I have."
