It was all Enzeru could do not to get trampled as he attempted to find the material shop he was looking for.
OK, I'm used to living around a lot of people, but they all walk in lines, not like these people. The people are..
"AHH!!" Enzeru yelled as he side-stepped a carriage going down the street a little too fast. "CRAZY! These people are.."
Enzeru stopped as he looked up and saw a shop sign reading "Materials Shop".
"Alright! Finally" Enzeru said as he walked into the store. Once in the shop, it was all the gunman could do to contain his giddy joy. He was like a child in a candy store as he ran up and down the shop's narrow aisles gathering up different metals, powders, specialty papers, and the likes.
After his little romp, Enzeru made his way to the shoppwner's counter.
"Quite a load you got there stranger. Hope you can pay for it."
"Not a problem." said Enzeru as he removed a small scroll bearing the Emperor's seal and slid it towards the shopowner. "Just take this to the local administrative post and they'll cover the cost."
" I see..." said the shopowner, taking the scroll in hand and thumbing the seal. "So I take it your a member of the Imperial guard?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact I am. But how did you know?"
"Well, besides the fact that you bear the Emperor's mark on the headband of yours, noone else around these parts knows how to make gunpowder cept Imperial forces and them fellars up to the north."
"What fellars up to the north?"
"Okay then. You're all set here. Please come again and good luck."
"But um...you..uh.."
"Bye then."
"Bye." said Enzeru as he picked up his bag of supplies and made his way out the door to the noisy street.
That was kinda strange...
