"I'm low on bullets", a woman who looks like she's on her early twenties told a man who seems like he's selling some highly illegal stuff.
"Oh Kelly, been quite a while. What type and how much do you need?" Replied the store owner who's wearing black clothes and with pale skin which just adds to his shady store owner atmosphere.
"I need 80 000 hollow points and 15 000 sharp points, both for my F-15 rifle, also 2000 soft points for my black eagle pistol".
The man looked at her and said "You still use that gunpowder pistol? Get a new one already.” Kelly groaned, "Oh come on Randy, I'm broke. Nuclear pistols are expensive as hell."
With a grin, he told her, "If you give me a kiss and let me cop a feel, I might give you a discount.”
Kelly, actually contemplating whether to do it or not, said "How much discount?"
Still with a huge grin on his face, he said, "5%, that makes it just around 19k Romans."
"Fuck, that's still too much"
He laughed out loud, "I was just joking, and you actually thought about doing it."
She also laughed with him, but said seriously, "I'd do it in a heartbeat for the right price."

A few minutes later, Kelly’s order arrived in metal cases, “Here you go, 80 000 hollows, 15 000 sharps, and 2000 softs with gunpowder. That costs 5800 Romans”. Kelly brought out her phone with a built-in scanner and put in on top of the metal cases. It counted the number of bullets inside of them.
Kelly smiled, “All good Randy.” She said as she sent her pay through her phone. As she was packing up, Randy told her, “By the way, have you heard the news? Elves from Pharis came last night, along with some dwarf engineers. Heard they got approved to explore Khenga’s Emperor tomb and they were hiring escorts.”
In response, Kelly just stared at him and smiled. Randy stared back and narrowed his eyes. As if he realized something, his eyes widened, stood up and said “Oh my god Kelly, don’t tell me you-“ Kelly cut him off and said with a huge grin “Yeah, I’m one of the escorts, I just got hired today”.
Randy just shook his head while smiling and said “Congratulations Kelly, that’s amazing.”
“Thanks Randy.” Kelly replied. “And here I was wondering why you were packing up so many bullets. Turns out, you were going to travel for a while. Wait there a bit; I have a gift for you.” Randy said as he went to the backroom. He came back with another metal case. He opened the case for Kelly to see. It was filled with brownish-red arrows.
Before Kelly could speak, Randy said, “800 arrows made from Elven redwood, 49 inches long, perfect for you, conducts mana twice as fast as standard arrows, especially wind magic.”
Kelly looked at him for a moment, walked up to him and hugged him lightly over the counter. “Thanks Randy, I’ll use them well.” “Don’t mention it and kick ass out there.”
Kelly replied, “I will, and I gotta go, thanks again for the arrows.” Kelly was about to walk out when Randy told her, “Kelly, come to Spaldim more often.”
Kelly nodded, and said, “I will, I like this city.”
