Laan gave the El Dii (whose name was apparently "Eurythia") a wide berth as she stepped outside with the others. As she inspected the rest of the group, she suddenly felt like she was way out of her element. But she must've been chosen for some reason, so after Ameth intruduced himself, she stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Laan. I was training to be a temple maiden and eventually a priestess before I took up my brother's sword and joined my people against Demise's armies." She drew the curved blade and ran her hand against the flat edge. "I'm more than capable of using it, but it has not seen battle yet." She returned the sword to its sheath and continued. "Um...I'm also capable of using this." She pulled her boomerang from her belt and held it. "My brothers believe it is a mere toy, but I've become quite adept at using it to snatch far-away items."

Before she stepped back, she mentioned, "I also play an instrument: a Pan Flute."

Yth looked at Laan from the corner of his optic units, slowly scanning her.

Subject seems to show fear towards me... Must find out why in the future...

Hearing mention of music instruments, Allene perked up and added something to her introduction "Oh I know how to play an instrument too! I can play the trumpet"

Well if we ever finish fighting against Demise we can form up a band

Gondo appeared satisfied, and said "Good. Now, the shop owner, Trogg, is renting us the second floor of the Goron Shop, so we'll be using it as HQ, and sleeping quarters for anyone who doesn't have a place."

"But for now, you've got free time until tomorrow morning. Everyone needs to be ready for the blessing of Unit D then..."

He sat down. "You're dismissed. Enjoy yourselves!" he paused, before saying "Maybe you aughta have a jam session!"

"Negative. My synthesizer is currently inoperational. It will take me several hours to re-activate."

"Well, I would like that, except for one little problem... my instrument, the marimba, is a bit too big to carry along with me. And by a bit too big, I mean it's the size of a small table."

Gondo shrugged. "Maybe someday."

Starting to recline against the tree, he remembered "Oh, I'm supposed to inspect the second floor!"

He got up, and headed for a ladder on the side of the shop. He climbed up to a stone platform with two pots in a corner, and a door on the wall it connected to.

Gondo went inside, and looked around. Those who followed him would see a plain room, with an empty equipment rack on each wall, and five sleeping mats laid out on the floor. A bathroom was connected to the room by a door opposite the entrance.

Gondo placed his crossbow on the rack on the wall to the left of the entrance, and continued to look around the room.

Laan, in her curiosity, followed the leader Goron. She poked her head up and looked around the room.

"Wow, " she quipped. "There's enough room here for..." She suddenly remembered the El Dii, "All...of us..."

Climing the reast of the way inside, she addressed Gondo. "Sir. Are we...um...sure we can trust the El Dii?"

She sheepishly admitted, "They give me the willies..."

Allene followed Gondo and promptly left her backpack near to one sleeping mat. Then she left her sword, shield and chainmail on the equipment rack. Then she couldn't help but hear Laan's issue with Yth "Huh? He scares you? Ehehe, you shouldn't worry. I spent months surrounded by them, they are quite harmless if you aren't a bokoblin"

Ameth watched some of the others go up the ladder, but didn't follow them. Any place above the ground was too high in his opinion. He usually slept just under the ground when on long expeditions anyway.

"So this place has bombs, eh?" he said, going back inside. "Never seen any with my own eyes, but I've heard tales from some other fellas. These for sale yet?"

Silan decided to go and explore the town for a bit. Of course, "explore" might not be the best word, seeing as he knew the area pretty ell already. Still, there was always the chance that he could find something nice somewhere. For some reason, people tended to drop a LOT of valuables, especially in the grass.

At Allene's comment, Laan retorted, "H-how? They're not living! They- they don't have a heartbeat... It's like a Stalfos, but metal. A skinny Armos..."

She sighed and slumped down on one of the bedrolls. She knew there would be no fighting it; the El Dii was here to stay. They'd likely get rid of a xenophobic Sheikah with no real combat experience rather than a combat-ready robot. Without a word, she crossed her legs and began breathing exercises.

Under her breath, she muttered, "If it's all the same, I prefer my allies to be of flesh and blood..."

Laan was never a favorite of Nayru...

Gondo agreed with Allene. "Really, I'd be more worried about other people then Yth. He doesn't have the sentience to become corrupt, after all."

Gondo picked out a few muttered words. "What was that?" he said sharply.

______

"Indeed..." Trogg said, "But I don't have any bomb bags in stock, so unless you've got one, I'd be breaking the Merchant's Code by selling 'em to you..."

He gestured around the building. "But we've got plenty of other things in stock, if you don't have one! Bandages, potions, arrows, we even have mineral infused milk! Just look around, and holler if you find something that interests you."

_______

When Silan entered the street outside the Goron Shop, he would the Bazaar and the Kikwi Shop open for business, and the market street going down towards the temple, or up, leading to more shops.

"Gah, knew I forgot about somethin'. Guess I could borrow Ledd's one... but, it'll havta wait I guess." Ameth looked at some of the other items strewn about the shop. "Say, what kinda potions you packin'? And how much they be costing?"

Shops! Silan decides do look through the bazaar first.

Laan flinched, but stayed in her meditative pose. After a moment, she responded, "Nothing, sir..."

Best not to get eveyone mad at you before your first mission.

After another few moments, Laan tentitively asked, "Sir? What kinda of monsters can we expect to find on our first mission?"

"Red Potions." Trogg said, "40 Rupees a bottle, but it's well worth it, they're capable of fully healing your wounds!"

Trogg leaned over the counter. "Interested?"

_______

Silan entered the Bazaar, a building that appeared to be nearly erupting with items. Stacks of arrows were piled in a corner, a small box of bombs sat next to it, and a machine filled with nuts was on the left wall. 

On the counter, a shield was being displayed, next to a container of bandages.

"Hello!" a large Sheikah said from behind the counter, "Something I can get for you?"

________

"Good..." Gondo said wearily, letting the matter drop. He sat on a mat, and looked at his feet.

He looked up at Laan's question. "Oh, probably a few beasts or something. They'll want to test our abilities before sending us into actual strongholds of the enemy." he said.

"40 shiners, huh..." Ameth scratched his chin. "Won't leave me with much, and I won't even know if I'll need it..." He took off his pack and rooted in it, eventually coming out with two red Rupees. "What the heck, I'm inna generous mood today. Here ya go."

"I'm just browsing, thanks.", Silan said. Hmm... doesn't seem like anything of this is useful, at least for me. Boms, Arrows, those nut things; all useless without their containeres... Ah well, on to the next shop. Silan leaves the bazaar, then heads for the Kikwi shop next. Propably only crap there too, but whatever.

Yth headed for the nearest mechanic. Part of his first directive upon being created was to constantly stay in the best possible shape, and he intended on making sure the trip hadn't damaged anything.

Trogg took the rupees, and asked "You got a bottle?"

_______

The Bazaar shopkeeper looked at Silan darkly as he left the shop.

_______

The Kikwi Shop appeared much like a forest in miniature, with Mini-Babas chattering, small trees touching the sky blue ceiling, and overgrown flowers blooming.

In the center of the shop, a thick tree stood, a hollow spot in the bottom, where a Kikwi stood, fruits, vegetables, seeds, and nuts lined up beside bags of soil.

"Hi there!" it called, "You here to buy, or just looking?"

_________

Yth would find the tool shop, a Human-run store that also did machine maintenance.

If he entered, he would find the right wall covered in weaponry, such as bows, arrows, shields, swords, and dynamite. The left wall was covered in civilian tools, like a variety of shovels and hard hats.

The back had an open door leading into a section of the shop filled with machinery. In that section human wearing goggles was fixing up an LD-301, and apparently didn't notice Yth.

"Uh-huh." Ameth searched through his bag again, this time coming up with a bottle he'd trapped a firefly in. "Can't 'member why I have that..." He emptied the bug out then handed the bottle over to Trogg.

Yth noticed the person, and waited for a short time. After some time passed, he spoke to the man.

"Excuse me sir?"

Trogg took the bottle, and dunked it in a pot of red liquid. He screwed on the lid, and handed it over to Ameth. "Pleasure doing business with you!" he said.

______

The man didn't notice Yth at first, still working on the LD-301.

Originally, I was planning on people getting their first bottle from the first person they buy potion/milk/whatever, but for simplicities sake, I'm just gonna let you start with one.

"No Technobokoblins? I would be grateful for that. I really need to buy another shield one of these days... though given the amount of fire in our team I'm not sure a wooden one would last long" says Allene as she sits down on the floor.
