h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

[Sharp]: "Tell me something though... are all elves able to find things out there," *indicates w/ a vast sweep of his arm* "real well, I've only met a few before, an' you an' that Aeryn gal are the only ones who I've gotten to kinda know a little personally."

[Anole]: Not all, but most. Some are from the mountains so they can't do much of forest tracking, and others are not right in the head.

[Sharp]: *Hums a tune , while stirring some of the meat which he is cooking in the cauldron over the camp-fire, so as to make some sort of a hearty stew.*
*adds some pinches of edible herbs, some sprigs of parsely, sage, rosemary, & tyme,etc.*
: s. Like in that song "Scarborough faire."

[Anole]:*starts making jerky for later, and stew for dinner*
Who is this other elf again?

[Sharp]: "Oh, thanks. Y'know I really hope I didn't sound biased or anything,-the way I was asking that. You do not think I am a bit prejudiced for asking that kind of thing?"
*stirs the stew, adding in some chopped carrots & bits of potato.*

[Sharp]: "Aeryn? Oh, her. She's this, uh...friend, who,-well that's the thingofit, she went and saved my life once. Pretty crazy, uh?"
*adds some stock to the hot water, to mjake a broth. Now to go about finding some way to thickin it.*

[Sharp]: "She's sort of a loner, really. That's why I'm 'fraid we scared her away. Which-Is, kind of too bad, 'cuz I'm pretty sure that there's probably some treasure lying around hidden here in this place, eh? Oh well, s'ppose that'll mean that there's more for us then? (he said, not exactly sad or happy, just sort of s'pposingly)"

[Anole]:*reaches into a hip pouch and pulls out some plant gives some to Sharp to find uses for them, and chops up leaves of the others with a small knife and places them in the cauldron* Spices.

[Sharp]: "Thanks. Those are,-"
*looking amazed*
"Why, those are really, really-rare is Wot's what."
"When I get to open up my own shop, Why,-why,...I oughtta give you a discount card."
}Paf!{
*Makes a small-card which reads: 'Rx & Bombardier (Or whatever the name of it'll wind up, tha's the most recent development one though),:
Preferred Customer' on it, right professional; like

[Anole]: How about supplier?

[Sharp]: "Here you go. & That'll mean something once I really have mine own shop y'hear."
*offers the discount card*
"I'm just wondering, you do not think it sounds a might pretentious, do it?"...

[Sharp]: "Well, come to think of-it, you do know the lay of the land pretty well,-if not even better than meself...& you do seem to have an uncanny knack toward finding stuff that it took me years of training to be able to spot."
Interesting...
", What're yer terms?"

[Anole]: Partners?

[Sharp]: "I mean sure, I can appraise the stuff that people bring in,-over @ the back o'me shop,-Tha's my house, y'know,-"
"But until, I can get a good source of funding established,-might hafta resort ta barter..."

[Sharp]: *looks Anole in the eye*
"..."
*thinks a bit*
"Deal. We splits the profits 50-50."
: Might hafta ask Nerd42 about what procedure's for trade agreements. There's athread called: Sharp Wants a Shop on his (and/or, I think) my page, an' I s'ppose that if it is a partnership, then you gotta apply for the license too...

[Anole]: Fine with me. Oh, remember thats some plants are only grow with a certain season which will bring prices up for plants out of season. *digs in to a pouch that is attached to a belt that goes from shoulder-to-hip and around. Pulls out some more plants and splits them again some to Sharp and some to the stew*

[Sharp]: "Well, yes, that'd be the whole," (groans a little & s a bit) ",Economics side to it."
*wonders whether or not to bring the stew to a low boil, adds some hare-meat, which he (ahem) got by *casting a rock* at a rabbit and hitting it in the head ().*
"Oh and hey, about Aeryn, um, , she's gonna be one o'our how would you say," (searches for a word on the tipohistongue)",-associates,...if you will. Granted that if she wants to, I mean."
*offers to shake hands*
"So I think we have got a deal. Partners?"
"I mean, I'm probably gonna hafgta teach all 'o this stuff," *points to his head and the s to ya eventually anyway. Especially the part abouts how ta mix gunpowder."

[Anole]:*shakes his hand* Partners. *walks out from the campfire a liitle and builds a fire that spoos smoke. Places meat-to-be-jerky over it*
*takes a snake out of another pouch and cuts it up and adds it to the stew*

[Sharp]: "You wouldn't happen to like roasted wings would you?"
I have a whole buncha them leftover here in w/my stuff."
*fetches them, from out of the 'pile'ostuff' over by his side.*
"I even went and caught some newts to make the eyeball sauce out of,...but mosta the people's round here never had wings before, don't even know that they's edible..."

[Anole]: Put it with the jerky for later. We have enough food for now.
