To  Izzy, the  woman took her over to the   wall and showed the types the   had on display...There is  Black, Darkbrown   , Dark green or webbed grey, from the spinnerets of the Burian  Trap spiders. They have   strongest webbing in the Black

After much hand wringing, Madison had settled on two pairs of boots, with matching vests and pants, and a hat that could go with either. Then she went back and found another pair of boots that would look fantastic with a dress she had up on the ship. She deliberately avoided looking for more, but then she heard Sam mention the holsters. Ugh! She really wanted a holster. She ended up with two. One for her flight setup, and one that could hold a decent sized handgun that strapped around her leg. Despite it's size, she could hide it under her summer skirt. That gave her the idea to look at the leather skirts. She loved leather skirts, but all hers were back on earth. And three things more went on the pile.

"So," She said to the clerk. "How a bout a volume discount?"

Izzy would follow the woman over to the display with her taking a moment to admire the handiwork of the holsters before speaking ”I think I will go with the dark brown, it won’t clash with uniform should I need to wear it on duty” Izzy said, though she was more thinking about for when she and Lizzy were out and about ”yes, definitely the dark brown holster, how much do I owe you?…also…um…this may sound strange but do you have back door I could use? I want to buy an engagement ring for my fiancé and want it to be surprise” she quietly explained as she subtly pointed to Lizzy to indicate that the lady in question was present in the room before turning to quietly speak to Sam ”Can you keep Liz distracted for me please? I’ll try and make it quick”

 Sam took out her 45 hard ammo side arm and said," Can you find me one that will fit this side arm." Sam cleared the weapon and handed it to the cobbler.

 Sam found the perfect reddish brown one she wanted as well. Sam wasn't into the vest or pants, but she would get two holsters one for belt and one for garter when she wore a dress.

 Lizzy was having a great time she was looking at the knee-high boots, that were absolutely gorgeous. Lizzy was all smiles, then she saw the vests and had to have one.

 Lizzy was engrossed with the vests when Izzy talked with the shop keeper and made her way out looking for a ring for Lizzy. Lizzy had no clue she was way into looking and picking out the perfect vest.

 The person say to Izzy,(out Loud)...Come this   way please, we will go into the Back where it is more private, so  the   Cobbler's helpers  can make sure the   boots  are perfect?..it should take a  few Minutes though? we will  settle your  bill here , when you return.

 she  grabs  a random pair of Boots  to take with them to the back..No One is permitted back here  with out one of us.... You go, come the same way., She places the boots  on a crate of  leather and nods to the helpers who were working on boots , pants and vests

...

 For Sam they presented her with  two styles., one was    'fast draw' that had a thin but  strong, line  at the  top and  bottom, other wise the  back end was open. She demonstrated the   way the  weapon went into the holster, as with any other,  but   could  be    pulled  back... ( or  down , in the case of  the  should  holster).. savign  a secon of having  to pull up or out.

 there were  a pair of others, made the same way, but  traditional holsters.

............

a high sign from the woman who helped   Izzy , had another  woman( Green angle with flowing black hair), mobve to  Lizzy and take 'special interest' in helping her find  the   right Items

...............

  When Madison asked  about the Discount, The Young woman at the   counter looked hurt   as she looked fo  one of the other   clerks...The...the,,, price of all of these, would  be 1200 creds?  but the  Delta discount we give  would make it  800?  I..I do not think we can go much lower? she said looking   for one of the  others, to help her, her  Eyebrows   raised  in a bit of a panic.

 Lizzy went to Madison and whispered, " They are already taking big discounts for us, I say give them a 1000 for everything that is extremely fair, I will help you if you need assistance." Lizzy smiled she knew the Burians were already giving them the lowest price possible and Lizzy didnt want Madison inadvertently causing any problems with her gesture.  Lizzy then added, " Oh she was just kidding whatever price you can offer would be an honor for such great workmanship."

Madison was a bit embarrassed. Did anyone tell her that everything was already discounted? She couldn't remember hearing it. Thankfully, Lizzy came with the rescue. It was only $1000 credits. She was thinking it would be much more than that and didn't realize it was already discounted. But Lizzy gave her an out and she went with it.

"Ya, sorry. Really." She blushed. "I was just kidding. I was just making light of the fact that I went overboard because everything is so beautiful. A thousand credits is way more than fair." She handed over her payment. Madison knew she had to give Lizzy a big thank you for the bail out.

With the only Angel weapons being pulse Tarja would turn her attention to the Burian sidearms on offer with her giving the guy behind the counter a curious look ”I didn’t know Bura had firearms industry, I thought they make more traditional items” she said indicating the axes and knives on display as she spoke ”…how do they compare to human firearms? I have 9mm Sig Sauer P226, it has served me well but it is perhaps time for upgrade” she asked not really knowing much about Lagran tech being new to the black.

  The    fellow held Out his   arms as if to say,' who knows', then spoke, we have  always  fought  with tooks from the  Plaent, spears, Knives,   and Bows  and arrows , Some of  our  best Bowmen were taken to earth to help  witht he priosn colony   there, thosunds  of years agp, but, likemall others, they  broke up and went seperate  way, some becoming Heroes, others becomign Villins..  Demons   do not like to fight on Bura, because a  'simle stick with metal' could  kill them  as fast as  any  pulse weapon.

  Pulling out a  two  Boxes,  he opened thier Lids, One  had the Lok of a  colt  45 , with  6 round revolver.. there was a list to the left, of the inside  lid that stated  the hard ammo in could fire.  It will fire   these   types of  rounds, we have hand many earthers help our   weapons  people design  hard ammo weapons to be able to included two or more rounds  from other  alien weapons.  This will fire , encaspuslated  pulse  rounds? It is good , yes, but to me? why have   them, when you can have hard ammo? and use a straight up pulse  weapon.?  But that is only my take


 the next  box  had, what  appeared to be a  Green steel 'Glock'. This, as you see, will fire the   Burian  green steel rounds, as well as Human  9 MM, and Occui Lead  rounds?

 Andruss    came up  and he was  smiling oddly  holding a package. as he listened.

 Sam saw Izzy sneaking out and would cover for her if she had too. Sam also sent on her comms to Izzy," If you need any credits for the ring please ask."

 Sam then went to the shop keeper and she wanted both of them to be the fast draw style. Sam would also get the pair of boots she was looking at and would watch Lizzy and Madison at the counter.

Izzy would follow the woman into the backroom, and offered her a grateful smile ”Thank you so much, you don’t know how much this means to me…also I really do want to buy that holster, it’s gorgeous!” she said before slipping out the back door and hurrying down the little back alley that would lead to the main street.

Being careful to avoid the cobblers window Izzy would walk the short distance down the street to where the jewellers was and head inside hoping that Sam could keep Lizzy distracted long enough for her find what she was after.

Much like the cobblers the jewellers shop was small and had the air of a family run business, with the brightly lit interior lined with wooden display cases that showed off their wares, though despite the almost quaint nature of the store Izzy couldn’t help but notice the rather sophisticated looking security system tucked behind the counter. Once inside Izzy would head over to where the rings were being displayed and looked for engagement rings, and more specifically those that had emeralds. Recalling Lizzy’s search a pair of emerald earrings she had feared that it would be a long and possibly fruitless search and yet there it was right in the middle ”excuse me, could you tell me how much this ring would be?” Izzy nervously asked the young woman behind the counter, pointing to a slender golden ring with a single diamond nestled between a pair of emeralds that shone like Lizzy’s eyes.

  The  woman smiled   as she looked over  Izzy  and  pulling out the  case  and opening it. she smiled...

 True  Burian, stones. Your  people call them  Emarald's, the diamond is mined here  as well.Golden band, however is   gold from   the Paradise system. Our Navy managed to  take a  merchant vessel that carried the  refined  metal and   people were  permitted to bid on  block of it. What makes it good  for  jewelry and clothing, is,  the body heat will size the  ring for you..., the cost  is  tagged at  3000 creds? but  Delta  discount is  2000?

 Kat   and NO-Ca  enter the  shop  NO-CA  was  chattering about   the  beauty of  Burian  workmanship.

Izzy would listen as the woman described the rings properties and where the stones came from before she then revealed the price causing Izzy to anxiously bite her bottom lip 2000!? That’s almost a months wages! Izzy thought to herself replying ”ok…I’ll take it” she said holding out her wrist to be scanned, deciding that Lizzy and the happiness she brought her was worth it.

  Kat came over  and Looked at the Ring, No _CA  was talking to a Burian  as he asked her questons about serving on  The Hermes.

  That...is being a very Nice ring, Da? She looked at the Card price, without  touching the case, The Burian who waited on Izzy was  about to scan her  wrist.

  You be, having enough  , Da? I can help if you need?

 No-CA  was being talked into a  wooden bead  necklace that a tiny 'glowstone' chip in.

There was a nod as the man spoke of Burian archers, with him seemingly unsure as to how Burian firearms compared to human made ones as he produced a pair of weapons and placed them on the counter for her to examine. There was another nod as he spoke of encapsulated rounds with her agreeing to his point before turning her attention to the Green Steel automatic ”May I?” she said, waiting for him give permission before removing the pistol from it’s box and so she could feel the weight of it in her hands as she looked down the sights and tested the action ”What is capacity of magazine? Is it ten like others?” she asked, noting that Andruss had come to join them with a strange look on his face as he carried a package ”are you ok Andruss? You have funny look on face”

Andruss   shrugged,Chief Morgan  says  'i am never  alright" he chuckled,yes, I bought somehting, i am waiting to see what  you are doing.

 There is  10 round  mags? if you get the  'extra long' mag you can carry 16, though the mag extends  from the grip.

 there is a range, of  sorts below us, you can shoot at targets, and it does not diturb others in the  City.

”Yes, it is beautiful isn’t it?” Izzy replied to Kat as she came over to look at the ring with her asking if she could afford it before offering to help if needed having no doubt caught the look on her face ”No, thank you…I can afford it, besides I want to buy my girls engagement ring myself” she quietly replied, wanting to do this part of the wedding at least by herself, even if she did appreciate the offer. Looking back to the woman she would nod her head to signal that she could scan her wrist.

There was a bit of a questioning look to Andruss’ comment with not fully sure what he meant though her eyes would drop to the package he was holding ”Ah so you went for knife then? I think you made good choice” she said before turning her attention back to the man behind the counter and the automatic.

He would confirm that the gun came with a ten capacity magazine as standard and had the option for a sixteen capacity one, before pointing out that they had a firing range beneath the store where she could test fire it ”I might do that but first I think I should ask about price?” she asked, not wanting to fall in love with the weapon only to find that it way out of her price range.

  The fellow  smiled.well, it is hard amo  weapon, and it made here on Bura..it's cost, is 5000 creds?.. discount would be 3000 for Delta Fleet.

 Andruss  smiled,,...I will show you as we leave..You like the weapon? I will help you get it, if you do not have the Creds  right now.

It was much as she had expected, the weapon was well beyond her price range, even with such a generous discount being applied to it. And as generous an offer as it was, she couldn’t let Andruss spend that much on her, especially seeing as she no longer carried a sidearm into the field ”Is sweet of you to offer, but that is too expensive a gift for first date” she said, offering him one of her rare smiles before turning to the shop assistant ”I am afraid that I will have to come back another time” she said as she returned the automatic to it’s box and moved away in order to browse the rest of the store.

Andruss  frowned, alright? it is  up to you, of course,. But i have  the creds to cover?   The moved around the  Store,

 It was getting close to recall.

 Lizzy smiled at the counter girl and smiled," Yes I will take these as well, how much do I owe you?" Lizzy had two fast draw holsters one for belt one for garter. She got the pair of knee-high fuck me red leather boots, and a red leather vest that would show off er large bust.

 As Lizzy put all her stuff up she smiled at Madison and hopefully they got through that without offending the Burians. Lizzy did look around and didnt see Izzy, " Hey did anyone see were Izzy went?"

Once she had paid for the ring and had it safely tucked into the inside pocket of her jacket, Izzy would leave the jewellery store and head down the street before ducking down the little alleyway that lead to the back door of the cobblers. Upon reaching the door she would knock against the wooden door and wait to be let in.

Stepping into the backroom Izzy would smile at the shop assistant ”Thank you for that, I really appreciate this” she said with her positively beaming as she did so before then asking ”how much do I owe you for the shoulder holster?”

   For Lizzy, the  person at the  counter  said,After   we give   the discount it  is 800 credits  she winked,,,the boots were  that much by themselves  before discount!

........

For Izzy,,,the holster comes to  300 credits  after discount. then she smiles a bit,I am glad you were able to  do what you wanted.
