Dani strolls leisurely through the streets of Ako. Her long, delicate fingers pluck at a rose from a young rose-seller's table, and she smiles at the gold-topped girl.
"How much, my dear?" Though it is loud in the streets, her voice reaches the girl's ears easily. She twirls the white rose through her fingers, the perfume spills from the petals like invisible mist and sweetens the air around her.
"Two gold pieces, Mum." The rose-seller smiles back a crooked gap-toothed smile. Her own voice had lowered as well, and sounded rough and scratched from yelling her wares into the streets. She rattled a small, worn messenger's hat from the rope around her middle.
"Two gold pieces, hmm? That seems a little steep..." Dani chuckles softly. Gold flashes from her fingers and disappear into the dark depths of the hat silently, ominously. The girl gapes.
"Thank you, Mum! Tha's very kind of you!" She stares incredulously at the StarCreature, and disbelievingly stares into the cap, then runs away before Dani could change her mind.
Dani shrugs, unable to conjure the same love for those gold disks that the humans on this planet seem to have.

Dani continues down the rough and rowdy streets. Business is in full blow, and everyone's out shopping, or selling, stealing, working and playing. Danika revels in the warmth of the sunlight and steps lightly and neatly out of the way as a bunch of boys, no older then ten or twelve years old, leap and tumble past her in a game of policer and thief.
She stops at a stall whose awnings are faded and bleached with care and use. Smells of roasting lamb, baking bread and herbs assault her. She twirls her rose between her fingers idly again, looking past the counter while the cooks made their art.
"What can I 'elp ya with, Missy?" An old, hunchbacked woman popped her wrinkled balding head from beneath the stained wooden counter, smiling crooked and gaptoothed like the babe that had only just sold Dani the rose. Danika twirled the rose from her fingers and braided it into her hair smoothly while her eyes roamed over the spread before her.
"Bread... whole if you please, Mum; a bit of that white cheese and a cut of lamb. Deboned, if it's not too much trouble. Thank you, Mum."
While she braided, the old crone puttered around her employees, getting in their way to collect this and that, wrapped it up on newspaper and handed it to Dani. She was surprisingly capable for a woman of her age, and had no trouble reaching over a counter nearly her height.
"That'll be three copper, Missy." The old crone smiled again, wickedness gleamed in her eyes. "An' what a nice little dandy you've got in your hair!"
Smiling back absently, Dani pulled the rose she'd toiled to braid into her hair and gave it to the old woman, along with the three coppers charged for her meal.
They traded thanks and Dani went on her way, in search of a quiet park to consume her meal, and then back to the small university she called home.

Once arriving in Ako city Red goes to a familiar weapons smith. "Akimitsu old friend it's been a long time since we've spoken." The samurai says.
Akimitsu looks up from his work & smiles. "My friend Red the samurai how are you?" He asks him.
"Doing well." Red replies. Looking for a new sai since my last one was lost in battle many months ago. My villiage smith is ill so I come to you."
"I will make one for you better than the one you lost my friend." Akimitsu says.
"Very good. Then please have it delivered to my home by one of your helpers when it's done." Red turns & walks out of the smithie shop.
((going back to the desert thread))

"Hmm perhaps the owner has stepped out for a moment. I will wait here for him."

After gettting his new sai from the weapon shop Red decided to get a room at a local inn. The samurai sits in front of the fireplace in the dining area of the inn sipping some sake. "Mmm this warms me up after a day of traveling & visiting the weapon shop." He says aloud.

As Takara enters the town she hears within her mind Chan talking to her and repeating her what she was supposed to get,... milk, meat, fish, and medicine for the wounded samurai's.."man I cant get away with anything", she thought to herself.
She continued walking thru the town looking at the different stores, seeing the weapon shop nearby, she decided to take a look at the different weapons that they had..

*Entering the weapon shop*
Takara enters the weapon shop, and she see all the different weapons within the store. She decides to walk towards the back wall where she sees a sodegarami and a sang kauw, thinking to herself, "well thats a good thing Chan didn't have these weapons for us to be training with for they can do bodily harm for sure." She continue looking around when she saw a war fan, "now that would be something to have, its handi and yet deadly at the same time." she commented. Then she saw one weaponed that she been trained with and that was the three-section staff, seeing that weapon reminded her of her father and all the training he had her do with it..just standing there daydreaming about her past, she didnt hear someone asking her if she needed anything..
"Hello, can I help you with something?" asked the owner..clearing his voice one more time and said in a louder voice.."Can I help you with something?"
Coming back to reality after hearing the last part of his statement, Takara turned and shooked her head, "I'm sorry, guess I was daydreaming." "No, I'm just looking at your weapons that you have displayed, sir." she said humbly.
"Oh ok, do you need anything then?" he asked.
"No sir, just looking for now, thank-you." she said, then she turned back around to finish looking so then she can continued doing her errands before Chan sends out a search team...
She finished looking around and said to the owner, "Thank-you and have a good day." then she left the store..
She went down the way to the meat shop and got what she needed there. And to the other places she needed to go.
"Ok lets see if I got everything that Chan wanted me to get. Meat, fish, milk, and medicine for the wounded." she thought. Realizing she had everything, Takara continued her journey, walking by the Inn she could smell the food that was being prepared within its kitchen.
"Mmm that sure smells good, man I'm hungry." she said to herself.
Standing there debating if she ought to go in and eat or to just hurry back to Chan's house with the supplies...

While Takara was standing there debating about things this guy came out of the Inn and mounted his horse, she stood there staring at the guy and for some reason his looks reminded her about someone in her past, especially the way he mounted his horse and rode off..shaking her head and said to herself, "Nah that couldn't be him, for that was years ago and he went off to the desert area. Oh well, I best get going before Chan send out a rescue party."
As Takara heading back to the forest area, she just couldn't shake that feeling about that guy she just saw. "What if it is him, I mean he younger back then but being an outcast he felt that he ought to leave. I wondered about him for so long but then thoughts about him faded as years went by." she said to herself as she journeyed back to the forest.
As she was continued walking towards the forest to Chan's house, Takara thought she saw someone coming towards her so she hid behind a tree, just to make sure that it wasn't a creature or something else. She waited for it to past by when she saw it was Runa. She jumped out from behind the tree and shouted, "Hey Runa, what are you doing here?"
