Le Marchand

“I think so too.” Came a quiet, toneless response upon the Batter’s approach.

But he paused with some distance remaining between him and the merchant, sensing then that this wasn’t the masked figure he was familiar with. His gaze shifted aside to briefly roam the area. It looked no different than the purified zones of his own world… but perhaps it was, in fact, another, and he had failed to notice until now.

His eyes returned for the merchant, studying the foreign Zacharie with some amount of caution that hadn’t been there a moment ago.

The unexpected voice startles Zacharie somewhat, though he does his best not to show any physical indications thereof. He turns, and immediately frowns upon seeing the speaker.

Ah. Look who’s shown up. Zacharie has not seen any Batters in quite some time, and he expected to keep going along like that. Eyes narrow behind the mask. Zacharie doesn’t bother to check if this Batter is native to his file or not; he’s not close enough to inspect and Zacharie’s a bit too distracted with being bitter. “I don’t believe you have the right for an opinion on that, my friend.”

He’s not going to outright tell this Batter to piss off, but he’s not exactly going to pull out the chipper demeanor for him.

“ – Can I help you with something?” She’s rather taken aback by the mask. It doesn’t usually lead to anything good where she’s from. 

[thegameisdead-blog]

The woman sounds a bit worried (understandably so), and Zacharie does his best to make his tone amicable. “Nothing in particular, my friend. I am simply appreciating your library.” Much better than the one in Bismark. The books are real, for starters.

“No cause for concern.”

“Hmm? Oh, my apologies, I thought I heard something… But everyone knows that animals don’t talk~” What the hell was with that mask… Mephisto gave the boy his signature smirk. “Aren’t you a little lost, kitty?” Who even wore such an absurd mask in public? Sure his own clothes were rather eccentric, but a mask? That was just asking for ridicule. 

[thegameisdead-blog]

“Ahahaha, I do suppose I deserve that.” Sarcasm duly noted and now duly ignored because it is much more fun to just pretend someone has actually been duped by Zacharie’s cunning disguise.

“That’s a very limited view on animals you have there, my friend. I know many that are perfectly fluent.” As in three, but that is also just about every animal he knows. “I am not lost. It’s a tad hard to be lost when one lacks a destination. I am just exploring, shall we say.”

“Woah, cool! I can make a shield– I mean, sometimes, I can. I–I’m still learning.” He breathes a little laugh. “Oh! My name’s Steven! What’s yours?”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“A shield? So you are a defensive player, I see.” Might not get the kid far in a quest, but hey. Shields aren’t bad. Zacharie tsks in as friendly a manner as possible. “It doesn’t serve much use  if it’s not reliable to call upon, now does it?”

“I am Zacharie. A pleasure to make your acquaintance, Steven.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“I haven’t seen any of the cats in a while.                            Disappointing.”

[inhuman-decadence-deactivated20]

“Oh – well…”

It must’ve been ages since he’d come to the shopping mall. He generally avoided it all together due to the spectres. Besides, he never really thought he’d need anything here. And, even further, there was this guy. A fair lot of the residents considered him creepy, and to be avoided.

Shakily, he held up roughly forty credits.

“..J-Just a luck ticket. That’s all.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

How lucky (pun intended), it is indeed someone after a good/service! Yay, selling things. “One luck ticket? Of course, that will be 40 credits.” Zacharie procures the requested item from inventory with a flick of his wrist. The obvious nervousness of the elsen is not something Zacharie seems to notice or accommodate for in the slightest. Before he hands the ticket over, the credits are plucked neatly from the elsen’s hand, counted, and the one or two excess credits offered back along with the luck ticket. Zacharie may be a greedy jerk, but at least he doesn’t really steal from people.

“Thank you for your business, my friend. Is that all you need?”

there are few things my current zacharie hates more than the colour white fuk u batter fuk ur purification u couldnt have even turned everything some nice colour??blue maybe??why this

[biifid-deactivated20150418]

     “Ooh, looks like we’ve got a       winner! Want me to change       your setup? Or move you      from it. Heck, I could make      you forget about your       dissatisfaction entirely!”

      “Less a merchant than a       guy with a big heart. You      scratch my back, I scratch       yours – all I’d ask is a small      favour in return.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“The first would be more accurate.” Zacharie gestures at the walls of surrounding buildings. “Everything’s white in my world; it got purified. I, as well, am starting to lose my ability to see colour. I can only see you because you’re a pleasantly obnoxious shade of yellow. I’d like colour back. Purification vexes me.”

He nods. Yes, yes, the expected reply. “Of course you want something in return.” There’s no such thing as a free lunch and anyone who says otherwise is either stupid or lying. “If I’m going to ask any favours of you, I’d like to know how much I’m going to owe.” “Wouldn’t want to run up any debt, now would I?” Or just incur something that Zacharie wouldn’t want to have to deal with. He hasn’t completely exhausted his patience for tying to fix the purities on his own.

[shovelingxcorpses]

“No…I don’t…” He glanced away, fidgeting with the cuffs of his blue coat. “I left a while back..n-now I’m delivering packages…”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“Aha. The life changes i miss when I disappear.” Zacharie considers.      “Mail delivery seems a much nicer job.            Less dead people to deal with.”

[biifid-deactivated20150418]

     “Buyer’s Beware. Latin.”

Indeed, there was something a little strange about Zacharie. Something he couldn’t quite put his  finger one… ’Close enough’ to human seemed to  explain it fairly well.

     “Psh, charm is right, buddy.      I’m likin’ the set up!”

     “It all depends. I like to leave      that little comment open for      interpretation. It’d depend on      what ‘service’ you were looking      for.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“I see! And I am, of course, obligated to respond that buyers need not beware in my shop. Everything functions as advertised.” Overpriced? Perhaps. But guaranteed functional! Because that’s how video games work.

Well, well. Zacharie’s statement of interest is certainly accurate now, because he jumps at anyone who might be able to fix the predicament that purification has saddled him with. Quite a far stretch that this odd talking triangle might be able to do anything for him, but Zacharie is not afraid of hoping for it.          “Thank you, though this setup as it were is not exactly my favourite.”

“And here it sounds as if you’re somewhat of a merchant yourself. Perhaps one day I shall have to enquire further.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“Someone remind me to research Easter later.”            What are these holidays.

Zacharie regards the new (?) elsen cheerily, chin in hand and wide grin on his face. “Hello, amigo! What brings you here to see me?”

There’s always time to properly greet people that might be customers. Zacharie’s in a good mood, anyways, even if this guy’s not a customer he’ll probably escape without a sales pitch.

[stevenuniverrse-a-deactivated20]

“Woah, no way, you made it?” As if it wasn’t cool enough already! His hands curl into little fists and he excitedly bounces on his feet, eyes sparkling in admiration. “That’s awesome! It looks so cool!”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“It’s not that hard to make masks when you have a rather  ... endless supply of plastic.” Man, that stuff was really gross as precipitation, but at least it made crafts easy enough.

“Ah, with compliments like this, I’ll end up with a big head.” As if he’s not egotistical already, but. “What is your name, my excitable little friend?

“…Yes, the cafeteria and such places..do exist..but..skipping meals…” he wheezed and sighed. “Something I did a lot when I worked in the furnace.”

[thegameisdead-blog]

“Tsk, tsk, ami, and the furnace is the hard work.” Zacharie’s tone sounds a bit too ambivalent for proper tsking, but oh well. He doesn’t know or care enough to modify it. “But you do not work there now, correct? You used the past tense.”
