Chapter 18: Renata and Pyro Go Back Into Town
Renata woke up and wondered where she was. This didn't appear to be her room and what the hell was she wearing?! Oh right, she's in the Middle Ages with everyone else. Sighing, she hopped out of bed and bathed. When she got out she realized something. She was going to get her clothes today! With that she tore out of the room, waking up Sabrina, and ran to Pyro's room. Pyro seemed to read her thoughts because as she ran to knock on his door, he opened it. "Come on! Let's go get us some REAL clothes!" Pyro exclaimed as he tore out of the hotel with Renata at his heels. They both reached the tailor in record time. "Why good morrow to you both! Come to pick up your clothes I assume?" greeted the tailor. "Uh yeah," began Pyro. "Listen, I was wondering if we could sell you the clothes we have on and we could pay you for our new ones? Like...a sort of a trade if you will. We really need those new outfits and any extra money we could get from our clothes...So what do you say?" "Well, 'tis not my custom to trade...But seeing as you both appear to need those clothes badly.I could make an exception. My clothes would cost ye 2 gold pieces, on account they were rare designs. But the clothes you're both wearing would probably cost me...about 9 gold pieces. They're extremely rare and fine material they are. So here are your clothes. Go ahead and put them on while I get you your 7 gold pieces," finished the tailor. He gave Pyro and Renata their new outfits and he led them in the back room to change. First Renata went in and changed while Pyro waited outside. "Whoa! That looks AWESOME! Turn off your inducer. I want to get the full effect!" exclaimed Pyro when Renata came out of the room. She crouched and turned off her inducer. "Wow! Now you look like a REAL Nightcrawler! Ok, now let me change ok? Hang on a sec." Renata turned off her inducer before anyone would notice her change and waited outside for Pyro. When he came out, he pulled out some goggle-like sunglasses (like from the show? o well, look at the pic, you'll get the idea). He put them on. "Hey! Those are neat! Where'd you find those?" asked Renata. "Actually, you're not gonna believe this, but they were in my backpack the whole time. And something tells me that the portal spit this stuff out. Like Sherry's toolbox you know? Like, something out there knew we would need them...It's kinda creepy actually. But what the heck?" "Now you REALLY look like you're made of fire! I like your outfit a lot. So let's go find the tailor." They walked back over near the front of the shop and handed the tailor their clothes. The tailor in return gave them their 7 gold pieces. Renata and Pyro walked out of the shop and headed to the blacksmith's. Along the way, many of the villagers looked at them funny and whispered behind their backs. Incredibly, their clothes were airy enough to keep them from being uncomfortable in the heat. None of the villagers have ever seen clothes as strange as this. Who
are these strange people? And where did they come from? Certainly not from around here. As they walked into the blacksmith's, they heard some villagers deep in conversation with the blacksmith. "Looks like ol' Godfrey arranged the tournament. Rumor is, he's doing it to catch whoever it is who ruined Casey's mission. Whatever it was." "Ah yes, those charred fellows. That probably sparked it. But who knows..." the villagers started on a new topic. But it didn't matter. Renata and Pyro heard something that they knew would be important later on. They approached the blacksmith, and the other villagers finally took notice of them and their weird clothes. They began to talk amongst themselves again. About them no doubt. But who cares? They were breaking conformity. "Hi," began Renata. "We're here to pick up our weapons?" "Ah yes miss," said the blacksmith, eyeing her new wardrobe. "For both of your weapons, it'll be 1 gold piece. Since, you both requested such fine and light weaponry that are hard to destroy or even damage for that matter." "Done," said Pyro as he handed the blacksmith 1 gold piece. Renata slung her new sword and arrows on her back, tied her crossbow to her side, and stuck her dagger in the side of her boot. Pyro did likewise with his dagger and tied his sword to his side. Like the blacksmith claimed, their weapons were extremely light. They walked out of the blacksmith's and walked down the street back to the hotel. When they walked back into their hotel, Sabrina and Rion were waiting for them just inside at a table, eating their breakfast.
