[Board Message]

[Pinned on the message board in the main foyer of the Overlord's Castle is a new notice, something of an advertisement, really. Done mostly by hand, it reads the following:]

NOW OPEN: ADELL'S ITEM WORLD LEVELING SERVICE

That new sword you bought not cutting it? That armor you found on a defeated enemy not protective enough? Don't sell them off for a quick buck, invest in it. No time for Item Worlding to make it better? That's where we come in.

I can provide quick, easy Item World leveling and service for a reasonable fee up front, there are two options you can take:

1) If you don't wish to come into the item along with me after you pay the fee, I will level the item up as best as I can. What's the catch here? Anything I find in the item, gear, money, or other valuables are mine. But on the other hand, you just gained a powerful item for only paying an upfront, one-time cost.

2) If you choose to accompany me into the item, items and Hell will be divided equally between us, with preference of items going to the consumer.

Either way is a good deal, so next time you're in need of an item upgrade and you can't find the time or don't want to take the risk of venturing into the Item World alone, count on Adell for everything you need!

[Adell himself had put the finishing touches on his stall a few days before, finally ready for business. It took a lot longer to get off the ground than he started; he had to level up some gear of his own on the side to make sure he could cover the tougher contracts. Thankfully, having power comparable to an Overlord made Item World running easy enough. So fully equipped and ready, Adell sat at his stall and awaited any curious individuals or potential customers.

He kept an eye out. Honestly, he was surprised no one else thought of this sooner. He'll probably make a killing off it.]

*Eventually, a bat winged devil lands in front of the stall with one hand on his hip.*

So how's this Item World thing work, anyway? I've heard about it, but nobody's given me a detailed rundown.

*That's right, Adell. He needs a Tutorial.*

[Item World? Level up? Reading the ad several times hasn't really clarified anything for Zuko. He may be able to somehow understand the language everyone is speaking around here, but sometimes it just doesn't help.

He approaches Adell's stall, the complete lack of comprehension easily visible on his face even before he asks.]


What's this all about?

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-01 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
...you're trying to tell me there are little people living inside my swords?

[Even for this place, that seems pretty far-fetched.]

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-01 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
You make it sound like my skills have nothing to do with it.

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-02 06:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[He gives a grudging nod, because he still doesn't feel like what Adell's saying now and his description of this Item World thing match up.]

If you want to talk about a good weapon, then you talk about the weight and the balance, the quality of the steel and the sharpness of the blade. Anything else is confusing the weapon with its master.

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-02 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Zuko remains unconvinced, especially when the word 'magic' enters the conversation.]

Yeah. Some display pieces might help your pitch.

[It almost sounds like he thinks Adell is trying to dupe people.]

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-08 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Being the one who warned me about scams doesn't automatically put you in the clear.

[Although the thought that people might actually be able to go inside their weapons like Adell says is easily more disturbing than that of a potential scam. Yeah, let's stick with disbelief.]

I'm happy with my own swords, thanks all the same.

no worries!

[personal profile] sonofursa 2014-05-17 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
[He can bother Zuko at the tea shop later if it'll make him feel any better.]

Maybe I will. We'll see how many satisfied customers you've had by then.

[The bulletin makes little sense to Terra, but she's curious. So, she goes looking for him anyway and gets pointed to his stall.]

Adell? Um, I saw your advertisement. I have a question about it....

[Well, several. But she'll try to be polite and ask one at a time.]

[Nod.]

It seems incredible. How do you get there?

[personal profile] narsheprincess 2014-05-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Can it be any weapon, or only one that's from here?

[One hand rests on the hilt of her sword, likely what she might want to see improved.]

[personal profile] narsheprincess 2014-05-02 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra nods, figuring she might as well get to the point.]

Right. If I'm to keep helping with security around here, it seems to be a good idea. And...I'm curious. I would like to see how this all works. If that's alright?

[Action]

[personal profile] narsheprincess 2014-05-06 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[Terra looks over the blade, then back up to him with a small surprised smile.]

Oh--thank you. I think this will do just fine.

[Odds are, it will be a backup anyway. Her magic is usually her first line of offense and defense.]

I'm ready, then.

[personal profile] narsheprincess 2014-05-16 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
[She shakes her head, looking slightly sheepish.]

No, I haven't. And I haven't really gone very far outside the castle, let alone fighting beyond it.

[Action]

[personal profile] narsheprincess 2014-05-22 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, but...I don't know what those are. I haven't had the time to find out. What are they and what do they do?

[And so she listens, attentive. Survival is a high priority, after all.]

[Leveling up items wasn't a new concept for her, after all, most of her stuff had a few levels on them after all. But entering an item? That was new...]

Errr... wait, since when can you enter an item?

[How is this even possible?]
wannabesaint: (You have got to be kidding me...)

[Action]

[personal profile] wannabesaint 2014-05-06 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I can see why... if some random guy came up and told us he would shrink us and put us in a weapon, I think people would just call him crazy.

... or a demon. [Like that one guy at Rosenqueen...]

But still... what exactly is in there? I mean, it's just a weapon, there can't be a lot of stuff, right?
wannabesaint: (Freeze up is go)

[Action]

[personal profile] wannabesaint 2014-05-20 09:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait, villages? There's entire villages of people living in my stuff?

... why the heck would people live in there? [How's the rent?]

[A certain someone has noticed this flyer, and understands to some extent its implications... but still, there's the most obvious question to ask.]

Are you absolutely sure about this? I mean... I get the concept, making a weapon stronger. It's a lot like enchantment, or even alchemy. But a world? And inside not only things from this world, but others as well?

[He considers his collection, and comes to a decision. Onto the counter comes Kaladbolg. Legendary quality, level... one. Yeeeeah. Clearly this is not someone's preferred blade.]

What kind of fee are we talking, here, for the ride along version?
notquitedracula: (Chillin')

[personal profile] notquitedracula 2014-05-06 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Twenty thousand, huh...

[Gonna be poking around in his Coat O' Holding for a minute here, give him a sec.]

...no, wrong pocket... that's fist loads... no, and when exactly did I pick up a rubber chicken? ...ah, there it is.

[Out comes a fairly substantial money bag.]


About how long does it usually take?

[By the way, Adell? No one has introduced Soma to the geopanel system yet. May wanna make sure he's been through the tutorials first.]
notquitedracula: (Chillin')

Sorry for the horrendous delay. DX Life decided I needed a curbstomping.

[personal profile] notquitedracula 2014-05-19 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[In response, Soma sets a few more weapons on the counter. Claimh Solais, Gungnir, Mjolnir, Laevatein, a positron rifle... yeah, he has other weapons. And all of them - every single one - is level one.]

Just the thing with the ghosts, though I hesitate to call that a fight. Why?

[Of all the weapons on the table, the rifle draws the biggest double take? ...Par for the course, fair enough.]

Would you believe I found it in a monster-infested castle? 'Cause I did. You're welcome to it if you want it, I have no particular use for it.

I'm not... really sure what you're talking about. No one's mentioned anything about either of those things to me.

[Hey, Adell. Remember that obnoxious SHKRRRRRRRR sound you had to put up with when everyone first arrived here and had to figure out what's going on?

Yeah.]
nerveball: (worried)

[personal profile] nerveball 2014-05-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
[To his surprise, or perhaps his horror, Adell soon sees that Stella is bringing that sword of hers here.]
