Welcome to Gaia! ::

{Description}
On the edge of town square is a pair of large, arched double doors that seem to just have been there the entire time. The doorway is standing by itself disconnected from any buildings. On one side of the doorway, etched into its surface is the schematic of a complex circuit board. On the other side of the doors is a depiction of the Gravity Sword with a smiley face etched into its surface. Coming up to the side with the Gravity Sword, you examine it curiously. The ornate handles gleam in the sunlight, beckoning you to open them. As you do so the doors seem to make noises as if sighing in euphoria. Looking through the now open doorway you greeted with rows upon rows of gleaming metal teeth. dripping with viscous fluids. Quickly closing the door, you suddenly notice a sign newly placed on the door that reads, "Business Entrance Located Around Back." Realizing your mistake you walk around to the side of the door with the schematic engraved in its surface. Opening it up reveals a staircase going up. After climbing the staircase you find a large slide that goes down a tunnel and curves, hiding its destination. Unsure about using the slide you decide to turn around and find a giant orange roll up the staircase after you. With no other place to go you jump down the slide. After an hour or two of sliding you are launched into a lake of plastic multicolored balls. Quickly distancing yourself from the slide the giant orange comes down after you and slams into the ball lake creating a tidal wave of sorts that pushes you to the shore. Coming out of the ball lake you find a ladder leading up into darkness. With no where else to go you climb the ladder until you run into a trap door. Opening the door reveals a pleasant shop that looks similar to the item shop except with a lack of inventory. Behind a counter is 4 Co. but slightly different for he has a pair of ram horns on his head that seem oddly natural. Oddly enough though, to your other side are the doors that you had just been through. 4 Co. turns and notices you and says in pleasant tone of voice with a Irish accent, "Welcome to meh Dirty Diode. How may I help you?"

4 Co. looks up as Vincent makes his request. "Your requested transaction will be processed." A small portal opens up to 4 Co.'s left and he reaches inside. After hearing a women scream, "Someone touched my butt!" and a man yell, "What the hell is that?!" 4 Co. pulls out his hand revealing a backpack. As the portal closes you can hear the man say, "It just took my backpack! Hey I got my passport in there!!" The man tries to reach through the portal to retrieve his backpack but is stopped short as the portal closes with a slight pop. 4 Co. unzips the backpack and dumps its contents, including some clothes, strange currency, a passport and some common hygiene supplies, onto the floor. "Here is your backpack, please deposit your funds through wire into my account. Thank you for your business, please come again." 4 Co. then hands Vincent the now empty backpack.

((Oh and could you transact that straight from the Black Market and leave the 2 I have in my possession? Thank you. mrgreen ))

Perrian walked into the trapped door and smiled. Finally, he had reached the shop after hours of trying to navigate through this place. "Ah, hello. I was wondering, could I please get the action blessed thief? I think that is 320, correct?" Perrian said and got out a bag of 320 chips. "Oh, and just curious, is there an easy way for me to get out of here that doesn't take a few hours to walk?"

Perrian handed 4 Co the chips. "Thank you for blessed theif." Perrian said. "And where is this other demension you speak of? I've always lived in this demension all my life."

(I'll do the transaction now, if that's ok with you. ^_^)

The 4 Co. with horns looks at Perrian as if he were crazy, "You don't know much about dimensional travel do you? Meh entrances to this shop lead to over 94x10^64 different dimensional regions, and that is not even a small fraction of meh near infinite number of dimensions there are. Luckily though, when patrons enter through meh doorway they receive a phase dimensional tag so that when you leave, you leave to your own dimension with a 94% success rate. Well anyway, good doing business with you sir, and good luck on your way out, if you happen to end up in meh wrong dimension, just come back in through meh back and we can sort things out."

With that 4 Co. turns to the new customer. "Hi there, you said you have scales there. Well we take over 6 billion types of currency, I don't know exactly I lose count, but I am not familiar with scales... I am familiar with chips though... hmm... Here, how about you put your scales in here and meh inter-dimensional converting market should clear this all up." 4 Co. opens his hand to you revealing a small portal that seems to lead to a metallic funnel of some sort.

Lugh dumps the small metallic coins into the portal, after several buzzes, clicks and what can only be described as a toilet flushing, the portal regurgitated 300 chips.

"here we go, what was it, 220, here ya go" said Lugh, dropping the appropriate amount on the table.
