Before anyone says anything, this is my guy pulling an insanely desperate bluff.

That, and he's gonna' pull some trickery if the clerk buys it. And all shall be explained.

If the clerk falls for that, then he is stupid. Apparently, the guy who just turned a random object into a fake horn wants to take the real horn and turn it into something else to prove that is it also fake when he just turned something into something else.

If he proves the horn is fake, we can't get a bounty for it, anyway. It's a shitty plan.

Celes can just make the girl scared of a guy who's actually going to, you know, dismember her... and decide to drop the horn and run... and Iris can stop Darilk, seeming as Darilk is honor-bound not to kill her.

And meanwhile, I ahve to at least try to maintain the damn status quo...

...And right now Darilk is trying to decide if protecting Iris includes protecting her from lecherous Alchemists...

Where you talking to Iris or Lidia (the theif)? I can't remember if you would already know who Iris is or not.

...And Chaos is going to wash his hands of this so he can start reading the Ragnarok manga that he just bought...

I need to hit the local Suncoast and pick myself up some of those. I'm familiar with the world, and played Ragnarok Online for a while until my computer decided to declare war on the client.

Edit: Didn't read the new post. That's gonna be one bizarre book to read...

*Cough* I'm further behind then I expected. Anyone want to give a quick update on what happened, or did nothing vital happen and I can just jump back in?
