Basala *DEPRECIATED*

"You still need to find someone to help you do the work, I cant do it all"

Dahlia gives Stu 27000 gold pieces. "And remember." She smirks. "People have now witnessed our bargain. Better make sure you pay back your debt as soon as you can." With that, she pockets her box and flits back to the cafe.

"UGHHHH. And where can I find a craftsman to build this thing?"

"A sub-contractor or estate agent knows all about construction. Now what about those ingrediants. I feel like throwing up."

"Oh wait, I'm a broad craftsman."

"So you're saying if I give you the metal, you can build the lab I want?"

"I recommend you hire a sub-contractor or estate agent to look at the plans first, then gather your friends for an Amish barnraising. Gunther and I have the combined str of 37 so it should be easy to build you a building. I'll help you."

Stu walks out of the room, dejected. "I'll find a way..." He pulls out his favorite leather bound book and begins to read.

"Do you know where I can find Snape Grass, milk, and chocolate dust? Anyone?"

Dahlia floats over with a glass of milk. "Here you go. Chocolate dust is probably hidden somewhere in Sarabi's kitchen. I have no idea about the other."

"Thankyou!" Guthix gives Dahlia a 5gp tip. "I wish I had a hunting pet so I can learn herblore.."

Guthix strolls out the door towards the Cafe.

OOG: ignore this post

OOG: Andrew your a craftsmen you can only work leather to work wood you need to be a carpenter, and to work metal a black smith. You also don't know how to make buildings just machines.

OOG: I know, but he asked for a craftsman. Also I think a mechanic or tinkerer has domain over machines, not craftsmen.

OOG: OK just making sure you knew.

Stu puts his book away and jumps up from the table, "You know, I bet the very same guy whos selling me the metal will be able to shape it! ...Perhaps some less than honest mind games will get him to lower his prices..."

Stu runs out the door to the weapons and armor shop.

Gunther sighs and pretends that he didn't hear Stus last words.

OOG: So Tom, going to seduce another shopkeeper?

OOG: I'm doing what I must.

OOG: Your a trip...

Daest, who had been sitting in the corner, chuckles.

"This," he says with a grin, "Has got to be the most fun I've had in days."

Looking at Elros, he adds "Why not just renovate the store? I mean, with all these additions, it's gonna look pretty odd if we don't do anything else... And if we build it up a bit bigger, we could probably draw in more customers..." *Wink*Wink*Nudge*Nudge*

Motsixu slinks down the stairway with a strange painting in her arms. She looks around the shop for a place to hang it among her other works.

Syrita glances up from her musical twiddlings. "More customers? If that's what you want, give them a place to enjoy themselves...I happen to have heard many tales of wine and song livening up a place." She resumes playing. "Particularly wine."

She looks over the picture in Mots' arms and ponders where she might have seen the face before...it seems awfully familiar.

"I'm all for expanding. The cafe has been slow lately." Dahlia pauses, thinking to herself, 'Not that I've actually been in there enough to notice...'. Then, to Elros, "I could handle more customers. And the tips would be nice... I say we go for it."

Mots listens in to the conversation taking place. "What's this about renovation?" she asks.

"You guys like to make the most work you possible can for me, don't you" He says and chuckles to him self a little bit. "I guess we could renovate a little."
