(Only Sorin, Shine and me. Takes place after Aurora Black for Cain and after Unexpected Capture for Mary. It's the next part of the rescue plot.) "This place looks different. Are you sure no one will ask any questions on what we're doing here?" Cain asked as he walked out of the Ramparts. He had come to this world on James' suggestion after having left The World That Never Was with their newest prize. A strange black stone that seemed to pulsate with power, which was being kept on the ship, well hidden. Cain had been against selling the stone though, believing it had better use than just to fill their pockets. Still, he figured a world like this would have a black market of sorts. Cain was hoping to continue his pursuit of the two cards he had lost so long ago and make himself stronger using them. Failing that, he hoped to find a Converger for sale. It had been a while since he partook of hearts, which would make him stronger and also give him some of that person's memories. Cain figured a Converger's knowledge from the Realm of Reality would give him an edge over anyone else. Edited by Strider_Hiryu, Mar 25 2015, 08:17 AM.

"Of course. This kinds of places would never last if the start to ask questions." James answered as he walked along with Cain. While he had a good amount of knowledge on the various black markets of worlds, he wasn't expecting too much from this one. Of course there was always the chance something from another world landed on here so he should just look. "I wouldn't expect too much from this world though. The more advanced worlds always have better markets. Something I will need to check in on when I get the chance. I need a new weapon." James said. While he didn't like it the time on The World That Never Was showed that he needed a weapon dedicated to be used against Heartless. "So what are you looking for anyway?" He asked. |

(Takes place after Unexpected Capture for Edward and David) "They weight a lot." Edward said, pulling a cart that was covered with a cloth he draped over, to hide what he was transporting. He knew in a world like this, it wouldn't have mattered, but there was still the chance of running into a Converger he had met before, especially one who didn't know his actual personality. Edward found it was better to be cautious even when there was no reason to. That was something he had learned when meeting that girl, Yuki. Edward soon stopped as he noticed two people that didn't fit into the setting. He figured they were Convergers like him, but he had never seen them before. Dragging the cart towards the two, he moved into view. "Greetings, gentlemen. I take it you two are not from around here. It's the same for me. You two look like the type who hates questions getting asked so just tell me what you want. I have a lot of stuff I recently obtained." |

"To be honest, looking for those cards I mentioned. And if I cannot find them, maybe a Converger the rogues of this world may have captured out of luck." Cain replied. "Hopefully one from your realm. And if not, simply information. We won't be here very long." It was then that a stranger with a cart walked towards them. He stared at the stranger suspiciously, despite his mention of no questions asked being a bit tempting. The man sounded like he wanted to peddle his wares. "Maybe. But the least you could do is tell us your name and what you are selling." Cain asked, making a slight hand motion at James so he would get behind the man and help surround him. Just in case he was planning something. He then heard a bump coming from in the cart and glanced at it. "What was that? One of your merchandise?" Edited by Strider_Hiryu, Mar 25 2015, 11:41 AM.

James was a bit annoyed as someone came up and started talking to him and Cain. He had never been fond of such pushy sellers, especially since he was interrupting his talk with Cain. Still the fact he was a Converger like them made things a bit more interesting at the very least. James did notice Cain's hand motion and moved behind the man. He would let Cain talk for the moment as he said everything that James intended to say and there was no point in repeating it. |

"My moniker is not important. If you still insist on a name, Nocturnus will do." Edward replied. There was no way he would use his real name with strangers, whether Convergers or not. "As for what I'm selling, they happen to be repossessed items of great value." He took out a small jade buddha statue, having a small red stain on the left arm. "Like this rare statue, made of actual jade. Don't mind the stain, it's not important. Yes, it affects the value but I'm willing to sell it for less than it's intended value." That was when he heard the bump and quickly walked back to his cart, noticing the other man behind him. Edward simply rolled his eyes, this was something he expected and is doing himself right now, having left Muninn in charge of looking over the two, his raven construct perched on top of the nearest building. Still, he ignored the two men before quickly bringing a fist down to calm his two important merchandise. "Yes. Special merchandise. It costs a lot and I can't just show it to anyone. I might be willing to, provided you two are capable of compensating me." |

Cain was annoyed. It was obvious this person wouldn't tell them his name but choosing a word like Nocturnus like a name? He found it to be very stupid for a moniker. Still, he knew he wouldn't get anything out of him and instead focused on what he took out. A green statue of sorts with a red stain. Cain knew from the scent and sight that it was blood, which simply confirmed what Nocturnus said about being repossessed. Still, the way he reacted when he mentioned the bump made it clear he was hiding something. That was when Cain saw the cover lift up as a pair of tied up legs kick it up. But the cover fell back down without moving. That was the cue for him to walk towards the cart and remove the cover, regardless of what Nocturnus thought. With the cart now exposed, Cain saw two people tied up and gagged on the cart. A red haired young man wearing a sort of trinket around his neck and a black haired woman with red eyes glaring upwards. He knew the look in that woman's eyes. It was one promising retribution and murder. "So would you care to explain about this special merchandise?" |

"Now this is interesting." James commented once he saw what the man's special merchandise was. The jade statue really wasn't something that James was interested in as it was just a simple statue. If Cain wanted it then he would have just let his companion have it. But the special merchandise was something completely different. The man was outright ignored as he moved in a bit to get a closer look at the woman. The red eyes were nice especially with the defiant look she had. James would enjoy having her in his collection. "I think most places would look down on selling people." He said not wanting to make it sound like he was making a judgement. While he would have preffered to capture this woman himself, he wouldn't be too upset at just buying her. |

"Hey, wait!" Edward tried to stop Cain, but it was inevitable. The cover was removed to reveal both of his captives laid there, tied up and conscious. It didn't help that it happened so fast, Muninn couldn't register the action until it was too late. He did glare at the other man at his comment on him selling people. "Well, this isn't most places. As long as no one's watching, I can sell people if I feel like it." Still, the fact that they weren't outing him out or having trouble with what he's doing meant they weren't clean people themselves. "Since you two are clearly interested in my special merchandise, let me tell you a bit about them." Edward started, moving over to the girl. "She is the number one item I have. The woman has training like a ninja, a defiant stare and violent temper. Perfect for breaking." He then moved over to the guy tied up besides her, the latter looking terrified at him. "This one, however, is a naive, idealistic fool who can heal. He could be good for the kitchen. Both of them do cost a lot though. I hope if you're both interested, that you have the money for it." |

Cain simply raised an eyebrow as Nocturnus began with a sales pitch on his two captives. In front of him was a man who didn't seem to care much about people, only making a profit. While this meant that neither James nor him would get in trouble with other people who may take umbrage at selling other human beings, Cain was still distrustful of the guy. After all, if he could sell these two people without hesitance, what would stop him from doing the same to James and him? Regardless, he stepped forward to look over both captives. "Tell me, what kind of captives are these?" He asked, looking over the woman who's glare never left the three of them and the scared man besides her. "Where are they from? This place? Or beyond even the barriers of the universe?" Cain wasn't bothering being subtle on his questions on the captives. It was important for him to confirm if they were also Convergers. |

"I highly doubt that they are from this world considering their clothing." James said to Cain as he got a closer to the captives. To capture two Convergers was rather impressive. Impressive enough that James had to know how this Nocturnus was able to do it. "And how were you able to capture them? If the girl was trained as you said then it must of been rather difficult." The male was completely uninteresting to James so he outright ignored him but the ninja was much more interesting. While James would much rather capture his trophies, he could always make an exception. Plus if he could get her over to work for him then her skills could come in handy for when he was ready to do a hunt. No longer was James satisfied with just hunting magic users from a world he had much better prey. |

"Your friend has it right, obvious as it was due to their clothing. Now let the smart adults talk and go stand in the corner." Edward replied, not amused with what Cain was trying to pull. He turned his gaze back to James, making sure they didn't get too close to his two captives. "Now where were we? Oh right, we should discuss the payment involving both my merchandise. Since it appears the two of you are going to buy one separately for each of you, I think a good price for each of them would be-" Edward stopped talking when he heard James' question on how he managed to capture them. "That's my business and therefore not important. Now, I feel I should get input from your partner on the price. I think around 10,000 to 12,000 Munny should suffice for each of you." Now he turned to look at Cain again. He didn't want them asking anymore questions on the like, smacking a fist at David's side, the latter tied up and letting out a pained groaned due to being gagged. |

Cain frowned as he was brushed off by Noctiluca for his question. Just because the latter's captives were outworlders didn't mean that they weren't Convergers. He had been asking a perfectly logical question. Still, he was suspicious when the sellf proclaimed merchant avoided James' question about how he captured the two. "Well, normally that would be reasonable. But you did act quite rude about my question so I think a slight discount should be added as well. Unless you'd like to explain why you're selling people you know." That last sentence was nothing more than him simply guessing the reason he managed to catch two Convergers without any difficulty. However, Cain couldn't see the expression on the woman's face which was a surprised blinking before resuming her glaring. "Now back to the price. I think 9000 munny for each is reasonable enough." |

James was annoyed that his question on how the two were captured was brushed off. Though Cain brought up a point that made sense. After all if they trusted him it would be rather easy to lure them into a trap. Not something James could fully approve of as a hunter but he could understand the usefulness of such a trap. The fact that he apparently betrayed his friends didn't even come up as an issue. "9000 sounds like a good place to start." He added. It was best if he and Cain worked together to get the best deal from this Noctiluca to avoided being scammed or something like that. "Though just for the reference I want the ninja. She'd make a fine trophy." |

Edward looked away, hiding his complete annoyance as Cain guessed correctly how he captured the two. It didn't help that James was also capitulating on it and agreeing on a price already. "I understand. The woman is a fine specimen but if you two are buying separately then 9000 is a bit too small a price. A more reasonable price would be.... 10,000 munny per person, give or take 500." He did command Muninn to stand down for now, the raven construct having been on edge in response to his annoyance at Cain. Edward felt he still had the advantage in the negotiations. |

"10,000 Munny? You just went back to your lowest starting price!" Cain replied. He wasn't amused with how Noctiluca was still acting as if he was in control of the whole negotiation. He figured the man was either confident or simply getting over his head. "Listen here, we're not going to obviously pay that price. For one thing, you keep hitting the guy and hiding the woman, despite both my partner here and me having already seen them. No, I think 9,500 Munny should be the final price for them. If I were you, I'd accept." |

"Damaging goods in front of potential customers is never a good idea." James said with a bit of a smirk. He didn't care one bit if the two were hurt or not but it was something they could use to drive down the price a bit. It was rather fun for him after all. "If you are willing to sell these two here I have to wonder though if you seek to keep capturing other Convergers as well. If that is a case I'm sure that you would be willing to lower the price in front of a couple of possible repeat customers. If not even that I'm sure that we can work out a deal to trade information on more targets that would beneficial to all three of us." |

Edward frowned as he was being double teamed by these two. It hadn't occurred to him that his constant hitting on one of his merchandise would backfire on him, or worse. That it would be used against him during price bargaining. But then James made a suggestion he really couldn't turn down. The possibility of repeat customers, plus the advantage of getting informants for himself just sounded too good to pass up. "Fine. You have a point. But it's too open here." Edward replied. If they were going to speak more of the possibility of a beneficial relationship, he wanted a private place were no one could overheard them. "But first, your purchase. I decided it'll be at the price of 8500 Munny. Now there's an abandoned mansion in Twilight Town. We should meet there, complete the transaction and talk more." |

Cain simply looked at Edward as he insisted they needed to move to someplace more private to continue speaking and finish the transaction. Still, getting the price lowered was a good thing, even though it wasn't by much. "Fair enough. I am not familiar with the world that you mentioned, although my partner here is. So we should be able to meet you there. We will give you the money there, provided the merchandise is still in good condition." He then thought to himself on the luck of getting two Convergers, thanks to this chance meeting. James would have a female for himself, while the guy would be useful for information. Especially after eating his heart and learning about this Realm of Reality from it. |

"That is fine with me. We shall meet you there." James responded. He knew where Twilight Town was so getting there and finding the mansion wouldn't be an issue in the slightest. Not to mention they managed to knock down 1500 munny from the price. He and Cain seemed to have done a rather good job double teaming their new business partner. He still would have rather caught the ninja girl himself but he could take what he could get. She would look good as a trophy and in the end it was all that mattered. After all James was fighting against those who had powers when he did not, not counting the armlet since that was just a tool he found, so he had to do all he could to remind them that they aren't gods thanks to their abilities. This ninja would just be the start for him and there was plenty more where they came from. |

"Good. Bring the money, I'll keep the merchandise safe in the meantime." Edward placed the tarp back over the cart and turned it around to leave. "Be sure no one follows you." With that said, he dragged the cart away, leading it towards the save point. He was completely annoyed that he was outmaneuvered in negotiations. Still, now he had contacts he could use, but it could also backfire. He'd have to keep an eye on the two when they were in the same place. But right now, Edward had to ready everything. Getting on the Save Point, he got on to his ship after removing his merchandise from the cart and left the world. |

"Fine." Cain replied, watching as Noctiluca left with the merchandise. They hadn't paid yet so it wasn't theirs and the seller was right about needing a more obscure location to do the purchase. With a shrug, he looked at James. "We should go in different paths, just to make sure we're not being followed. I will go ahead and meet you in that world." He went in towards the Save Point, taking a different one from Noctiluca and getting on his ship. Once there, he took a look at the black stone he had obtained in The World That Never Was again. Cain had intended to sell it, but he could feel it's pulsing. Feel it speaking to him, telling him things. "I've felt this before. So this stone is connected to that strange moogle possessor. Fine, tell me what else I can learn." He kept his focus and hand on the stone, his ship's destination having already been inputted and placed on auto-pilot. |
