*Switches around in chair, then leans back and sighs.* I... am... never.... doing that again. No matter how much sex, money, or drugs you promise me! *Looks at her with a goofy, fatigued smile.*
*The Thief dodges it, running up a wall and flipping backwards, landing back on his feet.* Thief: If I had known man, I swear... I really need this money!
*The thief turns quickly, and slashes his hand in the air. It burns a bright, light blue. A wind stirs up, and it hits Zuko in the chest, knocking him back.* Thief: Stay away!
*Nods, trying to understand.* I said I didn't like math, didn't mean I was deficient. I can probably help with the things you don't clearly understand. *Starts working with her. Problems and equations pass in matters of seconds but some seem to take hours. In the end, they have a theoretically plausible torpedo ready for…
*Does so, pulling one up and sitting in it backwards.* So, maybe you could explain to me what it's supposed to do? (OOC: I suggest an allusion to a mathematical montage, then come back in towards the end.)
*As Zuko walks out of the alley, a person brushes into him. A hand can be felt briefly in his pocket, taking all his money. The person quickly walks away.*
*The sounds of the crowd outside are the only thing that follows. The other swords were put away before. Nothing is left of the deal, besides Zuko and Midnight.
*It's a Pai Sho tile. A White Lotus.* Piandao: Show this to any scholar in the universe if you need help or want to contact me. *He smiles.* Piandao: This comes with the sword. And because I like you, kid. *He walks off into the alley.*

It was wielded by Blue Samurai, and when he fell, this blade was named Blue Spirit. *He gestures to the black and gold one.* Vendor: Here, this one says Though forged with moonlight, like it's twin,…
OOC: Hmm, would have thought a scimitar. Little canon, when Zuko was the Blue Ghost, wielding scimitars, or scimitar like swords. *The vendor nods and places three katanas in front. A steel one with a blue sheath and silver lettering, steel with a black sheath and gold lttering, and then some sort of black steel, looking…
Vendor: Of course not. *The vendor follows, overtaking Zuko quickly. He reaches behind a dumpster and pulls out a roll of clothe. He sits and rolls it out, and clanking can be heard. A line of swords, different sizes, lengths, and widths can be seen.* Vendor: So what are you looking for, kid? A nodachi? A katana? A…
Xi: Forrester, some good advice here. When a man gets hit in the face with a monkey wrench by a girl, he isn't going to stand in a line. He might wait for you to soften her up, but he'll want to sever her head from her body. *He looks at Colas.* Xi: Colas, how are you?
Riyah: It was very nice meeting you, Tara. May the sands be cool and your nights warm. Persi: Old Innotankan saying... anyway, it was a nice outing with you while it lasted. *He kneels down and pets Mara.* Persi :And it was very nice meeting you Mara.
OOC: Sorry, was playing Arche Age and then dinner. Vendor: Hmm, knives I got right here... you want somethin' like a sword... *He drops into a whisper.* Vendor, whispering: You follow me into the alley over here, okay? *He gestures to an alley off to his right.*
