- Selene and Karna (B):
Selene: Professor, I gotta ask somethin'.
Karna: What is it?
Selene: Why are we at a crowded marketplace?
Karna: Just wanted you to get used to people. And there's also something I gotta buy at an auction.
Selene: A barker? ... Dun tell me!
Karna: You're the one bidding for me.
*hands her 30,000 gold*
Karna: Won all of this at your sister's underground pit fight. Now, there's an old staff belonging to an ancient alchemist that is about to be auctioned off, and I want you to outbid these other guys at my stead. When you're bidding, you better say it out loud and you better stand out. It's sink or swim, okay?
*Selene incoherently makes sounds from her half-shut mouth*
Karna: Alright! Don't forget to have fun!
*Selene enters the auction house filled to the brim with people*
Auctioneer: ALRIGHT FOLKS, THE AUCTION IS OPEN! TODAY'S OFFER IS A STAFF! ONCE BELONGING TO AN OLD ALCHEMIST WHO HAS FOUNDED FAERGHUS'S MAGE ACADEMY 500 YEARS AGO!
*reveals a [Healing Staff] from underneath the curtain*
Auctioneer: Normally, this is only worth 2,000 gold, but given its prior owner and confirmed modifications that allows its user to heal several people at once, the price for this ancient staff is thrice the amount! OUR OFFER START AT 6,000 gold!
*people start making bids like crazy*
Auctioneer: Our current bid is 10,000 gold! Any takers?!
Selene: 15,000!
*more people then began raising their bids*
Auctioneer: We are at 26,000! Any takers?!
Person A: 29,000.
Auctioneer: 29,000 gold! Any takers?!
Selene: 30,000!
Auctioneer: We are at 30 grand! Any takers?!"
*people go silent*
Auctioneer: Going once... going twice!
*Auctioneer slams the gavel*
Auctioneer: SOLD! FOR 30 GRAND! COME AND GET YOUR PRIZE!
*Selene walks out of the Auction House with the modified [Healing Staff]*
Selene: I got it!
Karna: Good job! Now let me see that thing.
*Karna then takes the [Healing Staff] before observing it up close*
Karna: ... I knew it. This is a fake.
Selene: Wait... FAKE?! YE HAD ME SPEND THIRTY-THOUSAND FOR A PIECE OF WORTHLESS JUNK?!
Karna: A few words I heard claimed that the auctioneer running that place is a prolific con artist. Now that you have the receipt and the bought goods, we can now report him to the authorities and earn even more money!
Selene: And ye used me?!
Karna: I saw you from within. You didn't lose your cool in there, didn't you?
Selene: ... Huh. I really didn't.
Karna: Progress is progress. So, after we turn him in and get our reward, want me to buy you something? As an apology, of course.
Selene: Apologize first den!
