Em's Armory: The Return

*The doors are opened, and weapons can be seen all over the shop. From knives to morning stars, it's all within reach.

Em can bee seen behind the counter, polishing a shortsword.*

Aitome_Korichi

An armoury? That's a new one...

*Aitome walks in looking at the stock

Emerson

Oh, you're the girl at Moonlight. Welcome.

Anything you're interested in? We've got some stock weapons, but we also do upgrades and custom orders.

Aitome_Korichi

Oh sorry about that! Its been. While since ive seen anything shiny...

*Aitome pulls out her sword and her envoker

Could you perhaps polish and sharpen my gear? Its getting a little dull

Emerson

Sure. Regular maintenance is always important.

*He takes the sword and evoker, and places them on a table in the back, and begins to sharpen the knife on a whetstone.*

So, that's an Evoker, right? It helps summon Personas?

Emerson

*Sword the fuck

LuxTenebris

*Lux teleports in*
Heu, you make weapons here right?

LuxTenebris

*hey

Emerson

Yo, Lux. Yeah, we make and sell. Whatcha need?

Tatsuya

*he walks in and looks around* Hey ya Em! So hows business lately?

Aitome_Korichi

G-gah! Leader!

*Aitome slaps Leader in a panick

Sheesh you should really stop that...

And yes it summons my persona. Why do you ask?

Tatsuya

Oh and also I need a sword. Can you make a sword that's also a light machine gun? Like that fancy scythe you sometimes use.

Aitome_Korichi

Oh hey there Red Coat! It's like I only run into the both of you...

Tatsuya

I mean I actually have a reason to be here.

LuxTenebris

I was wondering if you might be generous enough to show me some of your crafting techniques.

Delta-M

*Delta? walks into the shop, a bored look on his face before approaching the counter.*

So, how's your dearth of dust feel? Sucks, right?

Aitome_Korichi

S-still, its just a strange coincidence...

Emerson

@Aitome_Korichi
Nothing, just curious. It just means it doesn't require maintenance since it's not a real gun.

*He finishes sharpening sword and begins to polish it.*

@Tatsuya
Oh it's been... eh. I mean, I've been busy, but aside from that I guess it's been fine.
So, a Sword/Machine Gun... I can work with that, but you'll have to take what I give you. Those things are tough to design.

@LuxTenebris
You mean just... making the weapons? It's pretty standard. Make a mold, pour the mold, and voila! Weapon.

@Delta-M
Uh, it's pretty solid for the moment, actually. And the mining operation is going pretty smoothly for the moment.
You just here to sell me Dust, or are you gonna buy somethin'?

LuxTenebris

I've grown an interest in this dust stuff lately too, I think it might be the key to unlocking my Personas true potential.

Tatsuya

Oh trying to bribe Em are you? I'm sure you only ask he obey your every command right Mammon?

And that's a pretty interested idea Lux, actually I've been thinking you got any plans for ASWs? I'm pretty good with anything mechanical.

Aitome_Korichi

You make that sound like a bad thing...

LuxTenebris

You asking me or Em? Because that stuffs confidential, Tatsu.

Aitome_Korichi

You know this person Red Coat? He seems kinda fishy..

Dust? Is that some kind of drug? What are you up to Leader?

Tatsuya

I was asking you Lux. But fine fine I won't try to upgrade any ASWs. *He sighs* what good is mystic understand of machines if I don't use it...

Emerson

@LuxTenebris
Oh, interested in Dust, huh? Well, if you want I can give you some ins and outs, but you say you wanna apply it to your Persona...
I suppose Nacci does that, but that's more the product of it than the Dust itself.

@Aitome_Korichi
No, I was just curious. I did hear it's better to summon it normally though, but I've only summoned it normally, so I have no idea.
Also, Dust is a mineral found in a world called Remnant. It's used for tons of things from ammunition to powering cities.

Delta-M

@Emerson

I want to do more than just sell you dust. As long as you would agree to work under me I can supply you with an unlimited amount of dust. Not a bad deal for someone that relies on it as much as you do, right?

@Tatsuya

Please Tatsuya, save the cliche assumptions for someone else. Everything already belongs to me anyway, but I like giving people the chance to better their situations.

Tatsuya

Dust isn't a drug Ai. It's a form of crystal that's made into powder, stuff has all kinds of elemental effects when used in ammo for guns!

and I'd like to help with the design if you don't mind Em.

LuxTenebris

It's not like I'm sworn to that secrecy though. I'm a prototype afterall, plenty of locks and encryption they forgot to program in.

Tatsuya

Cliched? You just said exactly what I thought you would yet it's cliched. *He smirks* Guess you're a cliched person then huh?

LuxTenebris

Just a little, I think if I can use it to infuse magic into weapons as I make them.

Aitome_Korichi

Hmm, apparently so but I wouldn't know, I can only use my envoker.

Hmm so this person is from that world?

*Aitome motions to Delta

LuxTenebris

@Delta-M
Not sure who you think you are But I don't belong to anyone. So that's one thing you don't own.

Tatsuya

*he grins at Lux* Whelp if you want me to take a look ever lemme know Lux, I haven't messed with anything quite that high tech for a while but eh I can probably make some improvements if you wanted.

Tatsuya

What world Ai? No that's Mammon the sin of Greed.

Emerson

@Delta-M
Uh, n-no thanks, Delta. I dunno what shady deal you're givin' me, but I have my own plans in action, thank you.
And, if you're not gonna buy something, then I suggest you leave. I don't appreciate window shoppers.

@Tatsuya
Oh, you got something in mind? I definitely wouldn't be against collaborating on it. You wanna talk after I close up?

*Em finishes polishing the weapons, and hands them to Aitome.*

There you go. Brand new. That's gonna be 1250Â¥.

Aitome_Korichi

I don't think you can be a sin Red Coat, that's not how it works!

*Aitome hands Em some yen and admires the work

Ooh shiny, by the way I never got your name, mine is Aitome Korichi.

Tatsuya

Hmm yeah I think I've got an idea... Not sure if it's feasible but well I was wondering if you could increase the cutting power by adding a chainsaw like function.

Plus I've been thinking about trying to add something to put Persona based magic into Dust rounds.

LuxTenebris

Chainsaws...I haven't thought of that...

Emerson

@LuxTenebris
Oh, I see! Interesting... you wanna try it out?

*Em puts a dust crystal on the table.*

We can head out back and try it.

@Aitome_Korichi
Aitome, Aitome... Oh, you met Nacci! That's why I recognized you!
I'm Emerson, her... father? Creator? Something along those lines. Good to meet you.

@Tatsuya
Chainsaw? Sure. Why the hell not? Although, the blade would have to be curved at the tip, so no stabbing.
And... you mean like, Bless and Curse? That... would be interesting. I'm in.

Delta-M

@Tatsuya

Working for me and obeying my every command are two completely different things wild card. The only thing that changes if he accepts is that he'll have all the dust he could want. ClichÃ©, I am not.

@Em

There's nothing shady about it. You'd go on about your life as normal except when someone opposes me. Whether or not you accept doesn't change the fact that I own you like the rest of the Nexus. If you'd rather not take the benefit then that's your mistake.

@Aitome

The red one prone to violence is correct. I'd rather not prove it here, but I am the sin of Greed.

Aitome_Korichi

Nice to meet you Emoson! You made Nacci? That must've token some work!

LuxTenebris

Last time I tried this in didn't go well. What kind of crystal is that exactly?

Aitome_Korichi

Well at least your not an idiot even if you are crazy enough to "embody a sin".

Aitome_Korichi

Oh right! You still haven't payed me back for that time at the amusement park "Leader"!

Tatsuya

Hey fair enough Mammon. Of course as many idiots with guns can tell you owning something doesn't stop it from hurting ya... Or killing for that matter.

*He grins at Em* Yeah I figured that. I mostly aim to tear off limbs anyways so that's fine. Might get a dagger to stab though, and yup bless curse the works.

Emerson

@Delta-M
Oh, you're Greed, then? Well, I'm still not going through, even if you were Delta, or anybody else. Like I said, I've got my own plans.

And, if you think you own me, or gods forbid you think you own Anna or Nacci, you've got another thing comin'.

@LuxTenebris
Lightin'. And... what do you mean it didn't go well? When did you test it?

LuxTenebris

Marci handed me one at a theme park and I put too much power into it...I'll be careful this time though.
*Lux grabs the crystal and heads to the back*
It's lightning, what's the worse that could happen?

Tatsuya

Wait Lighting!? That could easily short circuit you!

Emerson

I'm pretty sure his design isn't THAT simple, Tatsu. He should be fine.

*Em heads out back to observe.*

Delta-M

@Aitome_Korichi

As oblivious as you seem, I'll let your comments be.

@Tatsuya

Nothing any of you can hope to do poses a threat to me. Once the Nexus realizes who's in charge here it's only a matter of time until I lay more of the multiverse to my claim.

*He chuckles a bit at something.*

If you think you've got a chance I can't wait to see the look on your face when everything you try falls short.

@Em

Like I said to Tatsuya, opposing me is a futile endeavor. The merchant and robot aren't exempt from my rule. Nothing is. Even this shop of yours belongs to me. I'm just nice enough to let you continue running it.

*He gives Em a mocking grin.*

Tatsuya

Yup heard it all before Greed.

And I don't know Em Aigis is weak to lighting. Could be a common trait.

Emerson

Christ, you've got an ego, don't you. What about your siblings? Do those belong to you? Or the gods?
You can't say things above you belong to you.

Tatsuya

He thinks that his father belongs to him yeah Em.

Aitome_Korichi

Hmph, you better not die from this "Leader" you still owe me!

Emerson

Ha, good one Tatsu...

Wait, you're serious? Heh, oh, that's RICH.
Get it? Rich? Cuz he's Greed?

LuxTenebris

*Out in the back Lux holds onto the gem with Phanes behind him*
Creation: Uuuh...Machine!
*The gem floats up to Phanes hand as metal begins forming in Lux's hands*
Just gotta figure this out...

Emerson

You ok, Lux? How's it going?

LuxTenebris

*The metal begins forming into a simple electric engine with a current running through it, the gem fixes itself into place within the engine before a metal casing forms over it*
I've almost got it...

Delta-M

@Em

My siblings are exactly what they are, MY siblings. As I'm sure Tatsuya can tell you, gods rise and fall all the time due to mortal intervention. And if they exist in the Nexus, it's already too late.

*He laughs at Em's joke.*

Not bad. But humor won't get you anywhere.

@Tatsuya

But how many can you say had what it took to back it up Tatsuya? If you were to even attempt to fight me it'd be too pitiful to even laugh at. I think I've done enough here. Clearly you'll all need a showcase of my power to understand the position you're in now that I'm here. I'll get to that soon, so I hope you'll make it.

*He walks out of the shop with a short laugh at those still inside.*

Emerson

Whoa, nice. That's... new.

Emerson

Well, he's annoying. Has he hurt anyone yet? I feel like he would just... treat everyone terribly and beat them up for fun.

Tatsuya

No not so far... I'm not to sure on that one but he's definitely a threat.

Aitome_Korichi

Hmmm you know allot of people Red Coat...

Tatsuya

I'm around a lot Ai... Though lately I've been training more.

LuxTenebris

*The metal stops forming and a chainsword powered by magic appears in Lux's hands*
Here, will this work as a prototyoe...

That still takes a lot of effort...

Tatsuya

Ooh nifty! *He walks over and snatches it from Lux then begins examining the blade*

Emerson

Well, you're still forming something out of nothing. In fact, all you're doing is making it harder.

LuxTenebris

But, how do I make is easier to form things?

Tatsuya

*Tatsuya snaps his fingers* That's it! Couldn't you just adjust the shape and type of matter more easily than making it Lux?

Aitome_Korichi

Hmm, maybe make it smaller? Im no expert at this..

Emerson

Well, one, you could indeed make smaller objects. The less matter to create, the quicker.

Two, you could use Magic, whether it be enemy or ally, to speed up the process.

LuxTenebris

Adjust something that already exists? Guess that could work.

Emerson

Or using what already exists. That makes sense.
Here.

*He hands Lux a Sword.*

Do... something with this.

LuxTenebris

*Lux grabs the sword*
Alright, let's try this.
*The sword shifts into the shape of an axe and then into a spear*
Guess that does work.

Emerson

Neat. I guess that makes you much more versatile in close-range combat then.

Aitome_Korichi

That's our Leader! Im quite impressed!

LuxTenebris

Hey...Em, hand me another of those gems.

Emerson

Uh, sure.

*He walks to the counter, and grabs another crystal.*

This one's Ice.

*He hands it to Lux.*

imtherealklib

*Kalib walks in wearing a neck brace.*

What's up everyone?

Emerson

Kalib? What happened!?

LuxTenebris

Ice, huh...
Creation: Frostbite!
*the gems instantly turns into blue energy and becomes one with the sword giving it a blue tinge*
Here.
*Lux tosses the spear to Em, it's cold to the touch and radiates power*

Tatsuya

Jesus Kalib are you okay?

Emerson

*He holds the Spear, and examines it.*

O-oh! Interesting.

Geez, I hope you don't run my outta business...
This is like my infusing process, but faster! Granted, no one seems to use the infusing process...

imtherealklib

*Kalib swiftly takes off the neck brace and rubs his neck.*

Yeah, just...turns out flying is easy, and landing is the hard part.

*He laughs and looks in awe at Lux.*

Wow! That's a new trick!

LuxTenebris

I'm not about to make a business out of it or anything, it's only for combat, in fact I'd like to buy a few of those gems from you.

Tatsuya

Infusing Em? Sounds interesting tell me more.

Emerson

I just pretty much infuse Dust, or other magic, into a weapon. It takes a lot of time, so maybe that's why not many people take it.

Anyways, sure Lux. Lemme go grab some.

*Em heads into the storage room to get more Dust.*

LuxTenebris

Those gems seem to infuse a lot more power than just my normal magic.

Hillock

*He enters*
Hm... looks better than the weapons from HQ...

imtherealklib

*Kalib begins turning out his pockets.*

I should also grab a couple of those gems...I'm all out of my party favors.

Emerson

*Em brings out 2 of Ice, Air, Electric, Fire, Water, Gravity, and Terra crystals.*

These're the base crystals. You can combine them to make different elements, like Steam, which is Fire and Water.
I, uh... do you even have money?

Tatsuya

Hmm maybe I could speed up that process somehow? If you could apply magic from a Persona on the fly that'd be quite useful...

Tatsuya

I'll cover it Em how much? And gimme some too.

LuxTenebris

I've got money, you think I work at LeBlanc for free?

Tatsuya

*he looks over at Lux in shock* ... you don't? I've never gotten money for helping.

Emerson

*Sigh* Alright. Lucky you, I'll be getting some more soon enough.

*He goes into the back room and brings out the same set for Tatsu.*

That's gonna be 7500Â¥ for each.

Hillock

Hm...
Excuse me: What do you recommend for really long distances? Do you have any good sniper weapon?

Tatsuya

*he writes out a check for 50,000 yen and hands it to Em* That will cover the Sword too or most of it yeah? Either way there ya go.

imtherealklib

Where do you get the dust by the way Em?

Emerson

Certainly. Let's talk more after I finish business.

*Em takes the check, give him his Dust, then he finally notices Hillock.*

Oh, I'm sorry! I got a little distracted.
Sniper weapons? Well, I've got plenty of stock sniper rifles, if that's your aim.

Emerson

Well, most of it's from my storage from pre-Nexus. Some is buying from some others who've offered it. And, since I'm running out, I've been setting up a mining operation for it now.

Hillock

Yeah... but I need something more...
I need your recommendation, could you help me?

Tatsuya

Hmm snipers eh... I'm no expert in those but I know a thing or two.

IamThou

*She goes inside the armory and takes a whiff of the gunpowder and molten steel in the area*

Hmm...the smell of guns and swords.

Tatsuya

Oh hey Lav. You a fan of weaponry?

Emerson

Well I've been using a sniper for a while now, but it's not my design, nor is it a traditional sniper rifle...

I suppose just the high end things I have in stock would do well, as would most of the mid-grade things. I can make any adjustments you would want though.

Oh, hey Lavenza. How's it going?

IamThou

@Tatsuya
Click to load png image (size - 82 kb)
Oh, well...I'm just looking for something to defend myself with. I can't always rely on the compendium....

@Emerson
Hey, Em! I'm doing fine, thank you.

Hillock

I will see this high end snipers you say...
*He continues searching, looking and exanimating them*

Tatsuya

Huh... You're pretty small so something large wouldn't work well, you thinking ranged or melee?

Emerson

That's good. So, you interested in anything specific?

IamThou

@Tatsuya
Click to load png image (size - 82 kb)
Hmm...

@Emerson
Got a good dagger and a pistol?

Emerson

'Course. Those're pretty common. Anything about them you want specific? Ammunition type, blade length, blade shape, etc.?

IamThou

Click to load png image (size - 82 kb)
Maybe a really sharp one and...

I dunno much about guns, something easy to carry but still packs quite a punch...

Emerson

Well, most guns can do that job. I suppose your suggestion for a pistol is most likely the best one.
As for the dagger, there's plenty of options, and that comes down to preference.

Unit_Spectre

*knocks on the door*

I've heard that you have ammo.

Emerson

... Well, I do. Depends on what you want though.

Also, we're not technically open yet.

Unit_Spectre

I just need 12 gauge slugs, 5.7x29mm and 7.62Ã—51mm NATO rounds.

Emerson

Alright, simple enough... How many boxes of each?

Unit_Spectre

12 of each.

*drops a brick of gold infront of the door*

And can this pay?

Emerson

... Christ, you guys are expensive... I'd hate to have to reload all that.

*He heads into the back room, and brings them out in three loads.*

*Huff* It'll certainly pay for it, that's for sure. Is that it?

Unit_Spectre

Yes and thank you sir. And that gold brick came from Fort Knox for stopping a group of augmented raiders who was going to steal the gold.

*calls in in a Cerberus drone to drag the ammo payload and shows Emerson is robotic right arm*

Plus I lost my real arm to Adam Taurus just like Yang.

Emerson

... I'm not even gonna ask how you fought Taurus.

And... am I allowed to own this? Like, can one even use this for a payment?

Unit_Spectre

He founded me when I was finding survivors in Vale and shit went down hill from there and fine I'll pay you something with a more.

*picks up the gold brick and slips two 1k dollar bundle through the mail slot*

How about now?

Unit_Spectre

A more reasonable form a currency.

Doctor_Eggman

{The large man walks into the armory.}

Oho! Good morning to you my fine people! Pleasant weather today, no?

Emerson

@Unit_Spectre
That's more comfortable. Thanks for the business.

@Doctor_Eggman
Oh look, a giant talking egg. How may I help you?

Doctor_Eggman

{The doctor's right eye twitches at the comment before he composes himself.}

I've heard you deal in all types of weaponry. So I was wondering if you also deal in raw materials, or if I'd have to find another source. I am an engineer you see, I study robotics, and I've been struggling to find a decent source of materials.

Unit_Spectre

*gets a notification saying that ammo payload is ready for pick up which he accepts*

Well I am off to bed.

*A Leviathan warship is flying above him and a tether falls next to him, he clips to the rope and he and the ammo payload gets lifted into the airship*

Emerson

Eh, honestly that's a bit of an issue I have too. Raw materials are pretty tough to come across now. I have a storage built up, but I'm afraid it ain't for sale. Sorry.

Doctor_Eggman

{The doctor waves a hand.}

No no, I should've known that others in this industry would be hitting hard times..

{He grumbles as he strokes his mustache.}

Well, do you have a plan to get a hand on more materials? Because I'd be more than happy to spare some mining bots in return for some materials once you get them.

{The doctor holds his arms behind his back and smiles warmly after giving his offer.}

Emerson

Unfortunately not. 'Bout a fourth of my materials now are scavenged from any new sections forming into this place. Since, with every new piece of the multiverse the flows in, more stuff'll show up. I've been sure to check everything before I actually bring it in, so nothing of bad quality makes it into my stock.
Anything else I need is in good stock.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

*In a blur colored in a particular shad of blue, a certain anthropomorphic hedgehog enters the armory and points at Eggman with his gloved right hand.*

Eggman, I've been looking everywhere for you. You sure do know how to hide when it suites you. First I have to deal with a fake me and now you're here causing trouble for people again. When will you learn I'll always be here to stop you?

*He turns to Emerson with a slightly smug grin.*

I don't know what you're talking about, but don't listen to a word that this guy says. He's bad news no matter where you find him.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman winces at the sudden air pressure.}

Gah! Sonic!? You've sure got some lousy timing hedgehog. But I've done nothing evil since I've gotten here! I'm just running out of materials for my Ba- erm...I mean Goodniks!

{He crosses his arms and sticks hit tongue out at Sonic.}

Heck! I even joined a tournament to try and win prize money, like a good mad scientist. Is it so hard for you to believe I've turned over a new leaf in this fresh world?

Emerson

Don't worry, it's nothing I can't handle. Besides, he's a pushover anyways. If he were to backstab me, I'd stab back twice as hard.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman furrows his brow.}

You don't need to be that mean about it, but you have a point.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Considering I'm not like a certain knucklehead, it'll take more than that for me to think you of all people have changed sides. I wonder what other lies you want to try selling before you get tired of it and just try and take over the world again.

*Sonic pulls one of his eyelids down and sticks his own tongue out at the doctor.*

I'm not surprised you lost. It's a miracle most of the junk you put together even moves.

*To Emerson.*

You've got a point there. But every so often he finds a way to be a threat again. Be ready just in case.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman sighs.}

Again, you don't have to be so mean, but you aren't terribly wrong in that regard either.

Alright Sonic. When do you come from then?

Emerson

I'm always prepared.

*He pulls out a red metal box from behind the counter.*

Honestly. I feel like I could take him on with this alone, save for Metal.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman's raises an eyebrow in curiosity.}

A red box? Could beat me? I mean, without my Ba- erm...Goodniks, then probably, but what's so special about that box?

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

When? What type of question is that Egghead? It wasn't too long ago that I stopped you from taking control of the Lost Hex. That's the last time I ever think you're turning over a new leaf.

*He raises an eyebrow at Emerson's mention of Metal Sonic.*

So you brought that metal copy here as well. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. It is the only thing that's really given me trouble after all of this time.

Emerson

Oh, nothing.

*He puts it away, smirking the whole time.*

Honestly, I'm surprised you don't know. I thought you were better than that.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman's goggles flash for a moment as he grins.}

Ohohoho~! What amazing craftsmanship!

{Eggman turns back to Sonic and strokes his mustache.}

Lost Hex huh...? It's possible that was before the Genesis Wave....hmm...

And of course I brought Metal with me! I don't trust you as far as I can throw you! And we both know I always skip arm day.

Emerson

So, you just gonna stand there, or are you gonna buy somethin'? That goes for you too, Blue.

Doctor_Eggman

Right! Right! My apologies! I heard you have a substance called Dust? I'd be interested in researching its chemical and elemental properties.

{He smiles warmly as he pulls out a leather wallet.}

I assure you that money is no object to me.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Genesis Wave? Now I know you like speaking nonsense like it's another language but you mind making sense? I've got no clue what you're talking about. More so than usual Eggman.

*He's at the counter before Emerson can realize it.*

Think you could do something to give my shoes a touch up? If I've got to fight this bad egg here I might as well be prepared.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman smiles and thinks to himself.}

{"Multiple worlds and multiple realities it seems...this Nexus is truly a major stepping stone for my Eggman Empire. And that blasted Hedgehog won't be any the wiser! Ohohohohoho~!"}

Emerson

... Dust is a touchy subject right now. Besides, I'm doing my own research...

Eh, I can spare some.

*He walks into the back room and pulls out a set, featuring Fire, Water, Air and Electric dust.*

This is the base stuff. It can be combined to make different elements. I can give you some tips, if you want 'em.

*He turns to Sonic.*
Sure. I don't normally do anything like this, but it can't hurt. Business is light tonight.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

*He ignores Eggman's laughter. And talks to Emerson.*

That dust stuff sounds pretty interesting. Maybe you could put some in my shoes. I might be able to run on the wind with that Air Dust.... Reminds me a bit of my time as a knight actually. Maybe I should get a sword too.

Doctor_Eggman

It'd be appreciated...um, what was your name boy? How terribly rude of me not to ask!

{Eggman awkwardly bows forward apologetically.}

Emerson

Hmm... I getcha. I could do that, actually. Gimme a day or so, and I could get that to you. I'd just need to measure your shoes and make an attachment. And a sword is easy. I've got plenty.

Oh, my name's Emerson. And you're the infamous Dr. Ivo Robotnik, as we all know. Pleasure to finally meet you beyond that match I saw.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

I'll swing by another time if I feel like I need a sword. Measure away Emerson. The "good" doctor reminded me I should introduce myself too. I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. Also known as the fastest thing alive.

Do what you need to do with my shoes. This Dust attachment sounds like it'll be way past cool.

Doctor_Eggman

{He scratches his head.}

Ah....you say that....damn it all!

{Crocodile tears flow from his eyes for a brief moment.}

That's what I get for underestimating a Persona...but I digress...it's a pleasure to meet you Emerson.

Emerson

*Em measures the shoes, and records them.*

Alright. You still want a little fix up on them?

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Sounds great to me. I've got some time to spare if Eggman's not up to anything right major now. But before that... do you accept gold rings as payment?

*He gives a sheepish grin.*

I don't have any of the currency used here right now.

Emerson

Hmm... I think that has an exchange rate, actually. Let's see...

I believe it'd come to about 10 Rings.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Only ten? That's pretty affordable. Here ya go Emerson.

*He places ten rings on the counter with a satisfying clink.*

Doctor_Eggman

Oho! Typical Hedgehog. I on the other hand have smelted my gold rings into gold bars, brought them to the bank and had them converted into yen.

Doctor_Eggman

I never thought all those rings would ever be useful. Thanks for that by the way Sonic.

Huh.
Well, unluckily for you Egg for Brains, the rate for Gold Rings into Yen is actually much higher than Gold itself into Yen, considering they're kinda rare to be found untouched.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Hey you wouldn't believe how many people will accept a ring for a chilidog. And it's not like I can just walk into most places without people here freaking out. You at least "kind of" look like the people here. Besides, if it works I don't see the point in changing it. This is probably why you could never make another Metal Sonic.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman looks crushed at the news of the exchange rates.}

Curses! Foiled again!

{He looks down at Sonic.}

Look Sonic, I'm not the Robotnik you know. I'm from a different reality. Not much different than yours but different enough. I've made plenty of Metal Sonics, each of which came close to victory before your friends saved you. But that's in the past. I just want to build Eggman Land and bring joy to the people of the Nexus!

Emerson

We've already got Destiny Land. We don't need another theme park...
That one's enough.

Doctor_Eggman

But is Destiny Land run by an ex-mad scientist with a knack for machines?

{He grins.}

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

A... different reality? Huh. Not the strangest thing I've heard since coming here. If silver hedgehogs can travel back in time and dimensions can cross over seems like this could be the case. The Eggman I know would have a hard time trying to blend in with normal people...

*He grins at the doctor.*

That doesn't mean I'll let you have your way regardless. Sounds like Sonic the Hedgehog is meant to always put a stop to your evil plans. I'll be watching you doctor. It'd be something to see you become a big time villain again.

Emerson

Well, it's run by a ex-sane person with a knack for destruction, if that counts.

Doctor_Eggman

{He furrows his brow.}

It's sad but true Sonic. This entire time, ever defeat I've suffered has been by your hand. So I finally realized that we are two halves of the same coin, no different than light and darkness.

Doctor_Eggman

{Eggman looks dejected.}

Fine....I guess I can fall back on my other plan!

{He grins devilishly.}

It's so diabolically perfect, you'll all be left stunned!

Emerson

Alright, now imma ask you to leave now. It's late, and I've got a chainsaw machine gun greatsword to make.

Blue, I can get the shoes cleaned in a sec, I just need 'em.

*He gestured for the shoes.*

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

It's not often we agree on anything Eggman. You really are from another dimension. If you ever feel like you need some plans ruined, I'll be around.

*He hands Em his shoes.*

Thanks for doing this Em. I think we'll be able to get along great.

Doctor_Eggman

{He waves in panic.}

It was a joke! It's just a burrito bar. Nothing evil, yeesh!

{He walks to the door and turns to Sonic and Em, smiling and waving.}

See you later, Emerson, Hedgehog!

{He tosses out a metal orb outside and it morphs into an Eggmobile. Eggman hops in and floats away.}

Emerson

OOC: If I had other customers to converse with, I'd make this take longer.

*He takes the shoes, cleans them, polishes them, and returns them to Sonic.*

There ya go. Good as new. I can get the Dust usage fittings to you tomorrow.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

Definitely don't remember ever seeing him do that. And I thought Eggman Nega was a pain to deal with...

*He waited patiently for Em to finish with the shoes before taking them and putting them back on.*

Awesome. They look good as new. I'll swing by tomorrow and pick them up. I'll catch you later Em.

*He revs his feet into the trademarked figure eight before running out of the armory.*

OOC: What's your floor made of? 'Cause if it ain't stone, then he scorched the shit out of it...js...effing hedgehogs..

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

(Hey, I'll have you know I have great control over what does, and doesn't catch fire under my feet.)

Emerson

OOC: Yeah, but no shoes so...
IC:
*As Sonic leaves, a trail of fire is left behind him.*

Errrg, darn you Sonic the Hedgehog!

*He pulls out a fire extinguisher and begins to take care of the fire.*

Emerson

OOC: Just for fun. I'll probably forget it happened.

Sonic_The_Hedgehog

(Ah, well if you don't hold it against me I'm fine with it. I find it funny too.)

imtherealklib

OOC: Snooping as usual I see....

Emerson

OOC: I'll have to give myself a prrrromotion!

imtherealklib

OOC: Pingas?

Emerson

OOC: You kinda already used the one.

imtherealklib

OOC: Drats.
