The atmosphere seemed to be electric, with the sounds of the waves crashing against the sea walls around the port and buzzing air of the locals. The city of Grapplemat that covered the slopes of Mount Grapplemat was alive with hype as everyone moved about with an energy that, today was the day of the Grand Exhibition and that just pumped everyone up. So much in fact that everyone had donned their wrestling attire, every man, woman, child and pet. Even some of the wildlife had donned masks or some form of garment.
As an outsider to the island Xena was seeing some of this and had a sense of wonderment, outside of Xelor people were so weird! So free… it was infectious to get into the spirit. That riling energy that would get the blood pumping and adrenaline surging was something the young woman was enjoying as she started to bounce from store to store looking for something this island just might not have. Her best friend and brother D4RW1N needed some key components to repair his right arm and left leg, without at least the leg moving they were going to stranded here until something could be figured out.
This was the eighth store of the day, a large wrestling themed trinket and antique shop that had some promising mechanical looking pieces in the window. The shopkeeper inside wore a sleeveless button up shirt that was left undone to show quite the physique of what could only be described as a peak dad bod. He wore floral swimming shorts and had a loose headband around his neck. “Welcome to Penta H’s Antiques and Wonders, how can I help?” He asked, in a jovial yet gruff tone.
The young woman walked straight to the counter and leaned on it, pulling out a rolled-up paper in from the back of her shorts, it was sticking out of the back quite a by bit. “Hey, I’m looking for a few unique parts…” Xena started, getting straight to the point as she unrolled the blue print and pointed at some key areas of it.
Five minutes passed and the door to Penta H’s Antiques opened, and the short blonde was flung out to land on her rear, skidding slightly on the dry cobbles, making some dust rise. “And stay out of my shop! Damn Brat.” The door slammed a moment later.
Xena stood up and stomped her foot as she balled her hands into fists. The flare of anger that welled up in her eyes was only contained for a moment. “FFFFFFFFFFF-” She started as the door opened again and the roll of paper was tossed out, landing beside her as she stomped forward. “UUUUU- What about my wrench ass hole?! You going to rob me of that? This guy can’t even haggle, let alone wrestle!” She growled out.
The door opened one more time and a long and heavy looking metal wrench was tossed out, directly at the young woman, which she caught aggressively as it stopped her forward momentum. Penta H stepped into the light to reveal a black eye that he had been left with before tossing Xena out. “And you’re just an angry little brat.” He barked, obviously not happy with the events that just transpired.
“You don’t even sell triple valve pressure converter gauges. You’re just a hack, a damn jobber.” She hissed, she didn’t know what that meant, she had heard it used a few times when referring to people one didn’t like.
The door slammed, the sign in it being turned to say closed.
