(I deserve death for making you wait this long, sorry >.<)
"ONORE! ONORE ONORE ONORE ONORE!!!!"
Naomi flailed about and yelled at the second giant today to lift her off the ground by her collar, watching as Leona assessed the situation. Why was it that no one ever took her seriously! Was it because she was short? A weak mage? A teen? It made no sense why everyone just took a single look at her and didn't bother to show her respect as another individual! And don't get her started on the-
Wait, was she getting lowered?
Noticing that the ground was finally beneath her feet once again - or rather that the ground was finally touching her feet once again - Naomi gave him a look that said "I WANT TO DESTROY YOU!!!," but instead of doing so, she just turned around and walked along with Leona to the Lamia Scale guild hall as she said.
"Stupid giants..."
She murmured to herself while they walked, not noticing the time fly by as they seemed to come up to the Lamia Scale guild hall in seconds to her. Was she really grumbling for that long? Well, regardless, she saw someone leaning against the back wall for a second, whom soon turned and identified the two visitors. Not seeming to think them to be threats, he made a gesture seeming to call the two girls up to him, which Naomi did promptly.
"What's up, ladies? Need somethin'?"
"Are you Fast Eddie?"
Naomi was taking this one slow, she wasn't being utterly aggresive like she had been the past 2 times they wanted leads, so she had to try something different. Maybe this would work.
"I dunno. Maybe. What's it to ya, kid?"
"I was... uh... looking to buy some stuff?"
"...you don't seem like the 'cop' type, pipsqueak, but the chick with the tits does. She a cop?"
"Chick with the... Oh her! Uh, no, we're just looking to get some ordering done."
Eddie shifted his weight, a much more serious look on his face appeared. It seemed like he was very serious when it came to business.
"Ordering what, kid? I don't think I carry anything a little girl would want or need. Unless you're looking for something a bit more... adult? Something your mom wouldn't want you to have?"
He gave a wink and a nudge, but nothing more than a question mark appeared over Naomi's head.
"Huh? What do you me-"
Beet red. Her face was redder than the freshest of apples.
"NOOO!!! I'm just, uh... looking for some jewlery? Know where I can find any?"
"Jewlery? I mean, I just got a 'new shipment' of some stuff, so to speak, but there's a finder's fee for shipping and handling, on top of the cost for the jewles 'emself."
"Sounds great! But uh, can't we pick it up ourselves?"
"Sure, but lemme see the cash. No address until you've paid up. It'll be little over a hundred k. Diamonds are expensive, y'know."
Naomi nodded, and fished around for as much money as she could muster, and then presented it to him.
"All I have is this much... could I possibly pay it off at a later date?"
"Hmmm.... Installments come with a hefty bit of interest, but sure. I'll have some of my men stop by every month to pick up the rest in payments. And you do not wanna know what'll happen if you're late on any payments, little missy."
Naomi once again nodded.
"Go to the Sons of Hermes pawn shop. There, tell them that Eddie promised you the newest shipment. They'll make you sign for it, and then you'll have your stuff. Understand?"
For the last time, Naomi nodded.
"Now don't show up here for at least another month. Repeated customers have to wait that long."
"Okay, but can I say one last thing?"
"What, kid? I'm waiting for more customers, so make it fast."
"Diamonds are forever! And you know what should also be forever? Scum like you's jail sentence! MAGIKARU... PAAANCHI"
She ran forward, preparing to punch the man, whom began to block his face. However, that wasn't even the attack. Naomi's fist unclenched, and her foot flung itself up, straight into the man's crotch. He screeched so loud that the birds began flying away in the area, and fell to his knees, dropping the money that Naomi just provided to him. Naomi fell over, completely exhausted from the burst of magical energy that she just used. She never used that spell before, at least not more than in practice, so actually accomplishing it on a job instantly drained her. She just lay there on the ground, huffing and puffing, nearly wanting to pass out,while Fast Eddie held his groin and contemplated whether or not he'll ever have children, completely unable to move. Naomi just thought to herself about how awesome the line she just used was, but also how to make it better next time.
