Welcome to Gaia! ::

The next building he chekced was the local rest stop. WHy is there a rest stop here? Well travelers always go after good deals here, including deals on sake! "Do we have any sake here? The kazekage sends me for it!" he said exasperatedly. His mood dropped to the floor as the shop keep said no, and he head desked. Walking away he headed across the street for more sake. ((3/6))

Stepping up to a random merchant stand, Kay placed a hand on the man's shoulder. "I am having a horrid day. Tell me you have some sake." The merchant rose an eyebrow. "It's for the kazekage, not me. I hate how it smells." THe merchant shrugged and pointed towards a building down the street. Kay smiled and kept walking, thanking the man with a few dollars.

David walked quietly through the market, rather enjoying the anonymity that came with being completely different from how people remembered him. Just like the tower though, this place was completely different. New buildings here, empty lots there, and a fifty story high neon lighted sake emporium? What the hell? ignoring the monstrous alcohol distributor, David walked into a conveniently placed ninja supply shop, and began browsing. Everything he owned was gone by now, since he hadn't owned much in the first place, and had no place it could have been stored. When they reclaimed his room they had most likely trashed most of the stuff in his bag.

Stopping by a counter covered in basic supplies, David fingered some of the kunai, before grabbing one off the rack and flipping it in the air a few times, getting a feel for it's weight, something else he'd have to get used to again. Even a plain kunai felt completely different now, much lighter than before actually. Then again, if he got some weights like he used to have, weight would be a non-issue on practically anything. Satisfied with the kunai, David grabbed three more, and two holsters from the rack, along with a new supply pouch and shuriken. Dropping the shuriken into their place in the pouch, he grabbed some Makibishi and dropped them in as well. He'd make do with that for now. Tools were never his big thing. He grabbed a satchel pack from nearby, for anything he'd have to carry that wouldn't fit in his pouch. Never knew when that would come in handy.

Finally, David walked up to the counter, setting the stuff down to be rung up for cost. When asked for payment however, he reached into his pocket and realized, he had no money. How could he have forgotten something like that?! Well, that was fine. Most villages would accept a headband from one of their own, and just charge it to the village so... Ugh. He'd forgotten to get a new headband from the kazekage! The shopkeeper quickly began to realize something was wrong, and that David most likely was not going to pay, and quickly grabbed the supplies, pulling them to the other side of the counter in case of a grab and run. "Sorry kid, if you can't pay, I can't sell." The man said, making it clear as crystal that he was not giving out freebies today.

"Ugh... I can't believe I forgot to get a headband... Wake up from a coma, lose everything, forget the one thing that can replace it. Great." David muttered, scowling at his own forgetfulness as he turned to leave. He'd just have to go get that headband and try again. "Hold on, a coma? Who are you?" The shopkeeper stopped him with a question, making David turn back to him and blink a few times. Hey, Jade had called him the hero of suna, maybe, just maybe, that really was the people's thoughts? "David Greyson..." He answered the question slowly, almost not daring to hope. The man gave him a speculative look for a moment, which quickly cleared away when David waved his hand, and all the sand that had been tracked into the area over the course of the day gathered up into a ball, compressed, and fell on the counter, leaving a ten pound ball of sandstone sitting in front of him. That was apparently plenty for identification, as the man nodded in acceptance.

"Take the stuff." The man suddenly spoke, shoving the pile of goods back towards David. "Consider it thanks for dropping the beast." He said with a smile, leaving David blinking for a few seconds. People would give him free stuff for killing giant monsters? That, was cool. Taking the stuff, he snapped it into place, the pouch on his hip, and one of the holsters on his left thigh, the other on his right. Each holster got a single kunai, and the other two were added to the supply pouch. Hanging the satchel on his shoulder and thanking the man once more, he turned to leave the shop, but stopped by the door, as his eye caught sight of a small bin with some cloth stuff in it. "What's this?" He asked, pulling out one of the rather large objects. It was kind of long, with straps on it, but looked as if it was meant to be wrapped around something. "That's a trash bin. Just some ruined weights. Tore out somehow, and nobody's gonna buy repaired goods." Digging in the bin again, David managed to find three more of the odd sacks, and they were indeed torn, small holes all over them. There was no way they'd hold sand on their own. David smiled. "Can I have them then?" He asked, looking back up at the man, who simply shrugged. "Take em if you want, I've no use for em." David smiled, stuffing four of the sacks into his satchel, and walking out the door. Nobody else might have a use for them, but David could make infinite use of them.

Back out in the street, David looked around, pondering where to go next. He'd completed his shopping there, maybe he should just head for the dunes now? No, there was one more thing he needed first. With a slight smile on his face, rather pleased with himself thus far, David set out towards the library, completely unaware of the shopkeeper back there happily carving out a small hole in his shop counter, where within a few hours, that ball of sandstone would be placed, to stay. It wasn't everyday the Ichibi host made something like that, and didn't launch it into someone's face. And he wasn't going to let it go to waste.
