Alright everybody, once again, I return. And, before anyone calls me out on my lack of this weeks 2 to 3 usual updates, welll... I blame my internet for that. I'm serious right now, the connection was super weird this last week. For over two days, it wouldn't even connect, even though it SAID I had full service, and when it FINALLY came back, it was slow as hell for another three days! So, yeah, that was a thing. Luckily, it seems to have gone back to normal now, so it shouldn't be an issue anymore. At least, I hope so. But enough about me!

ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

As you made your way through the crowded street before you, it took all you had to not be knocked down and run over by the people moving too and fro around you, making you feel as if you were trapped between shifting tides in an endless ocean. Thankfully, this sensation did not last for long, as the people around you parted just long enough for you to beeline it to a neighboring side street, which was not nearly as crowded, allowing you to breath steadily once more.

As you caught your balance from the unexpected experience, you took a closer look at your surrounding, which were much more visible due to the lack of bodies pressing into you from all directions. The road you had found yourself on consisted of the almost standard boardwalk configuration, with a Coffee Shop on the corner, followed by some kind of Hair Salon, an Arcade, a Jewelry store, and then finally, a push cart Ice Cream stand.

In any other case, you would be rushing over to the arcade to check out the many games hidden within its flashing depths, but this time, you were on a mission. You had to remain focused. So, your eyes instead went to the Jewelry store before you. Wuya had described the Eye as a piece of pronged metal with a large gem at the center, and what better place to 'hide' a piece of jewelry than a Jewelry store?

As you made to cross the street toward the shop, you were distracted by the ice cream you saw in the hands of the children who had nearly knocked into you, excitement apparent at acquiring he sweet treat.

You took a moment to think of yourself.

'This is no time to be thinking of ice cream! Sweet... Delicious... Cold ice cream...NO! You had a mission to accomplish! You would not be side tracked! You would not!

"That will be 37 Baht." (1)

'Wait, what?'

As you once more paid attention to reality, you found yourself standing in front of he ice cream vendor, already handing him the requested money, and him holding out a vision of heaven.

Spoiler: Dear Sweet Freezus Iced

As your mouth watered uncontrollably at the sight of the tasty treat, you halfheartedly replied aroy with a thumbs up as you turned away to better see the vision of beauty in your hands.

You know what? The Wu could wait. You've had enough revelation dropped on you in such a short amount of time, you DESERVED a treat you didn't have everyday.

With that, the next ten minutes devolved into a haze of chocolate, tears, and Happiness.

*Ten Minutes of Om Noming Later*

As you were finally brought back down to reality from your Chocolicious experience, you finally became aware of the fact that you were now back to the side of the main street, having apparently wandered in your daze. So, you quickly beat feet back the way you were sure you came, this time taking special care to not look at the Ice Cream man, and instead went straight for the Jewelry Store.

As you stepped through the doors, you took note of the woman manning the front counter, who quickly called you forward, what with the rest of the shop being empty of customers.

Spoiler: Counter Lady

"Hello young man! Welcome to my shop! What would you like today? Here to browse? Or perhaps... Getting something for that certain special someone?" She teased lightly.

You blushed lightly at that out of nowhere insinuation, but pressed forward as best as you could regardless.

"Ah, no. I'm actually looking for a specific piece of Jewelry, and was wondering if you had anything like it in stock." You said as clearly as you could, trying hard to prevent any voice cracks or stutters.

The woman gave a small giggle at your attempt to appear serious, but responded to your question.

"Tehehe. Well, I DO have a wide variety of wares available, so I might be able to help. But, if your looking for something specific, wouldn't just having it commissioned be easier? Well, no matter, if you find it, that means more business for me! So, just what are you looking for?" The woman questioned as she leaned slightly on the counter.

You gulped a little as you caught the oh so tantalizing view you KNEW she did on purpose, but you had bigger fish to fry.

"Right. I'm looking for a four pronged necklace with a large ruby at its center. Do you have anything like that?" You stated, hoping the answer was yes.

"Hmmm. You know, you're the second person in here today looking for one like that. Is it a new style or something? Well, in any case, no, I don' have anything like that, but if you ARE looking for the latest trends, I'd go to The Den if I were you. It's the hottest club in the city, and open to all ages. If there's anyone who could hook you up with the latest bling, it'd be them. Sorry." She said apologetically, though if that was due to your face falling, or just the loss of a customer, was unclear.

Speaking of which, you were feeling a little bummed at the moment. You were so sure that you would find he Wu in this out of the way Jewelry store, but apparently, intuition can be wrong. Good to know. And hey, you at least got a lead on where to search next.

As you walked away form the shop, your thoughts rolled around in your head as you thought about what to do next, before something she said struck you.

"Wait.. SECOND person to ask?"

It seemed that you were NOT the only hunting this Wu. Great. Well, you could deal, you just had to get there first. Simple as that. After all, what could go wrong?

Scene Change: ?'s

As you walked away from the burning wreckage of what was once a plane, you felt good about yourself. You did what you were asked to do, you got paid, AND you got to fulfill your lifelong dream of suplexing a robot in half. Today was a good day. Now, you just had one more thing to take care of, and then you could relax with some funny TV, a comfy couch, and a nice hot bowl of Cow with Rice.
