EXTRAVAGANZAPALOOZA!!! (open)

Jaquento felt a slight bump against his head and turned.
"Hey, what the..."
He picked up the flyer.
*Angle... velocity...*
He looked over to Sarah who looked suspiciously unsuspicious.
"Of course you know, this means war..."
He few adjust ments to the holographic snowfall decoration later and Sarah found herself within her own personal blizzard.

The woman took her jacket from the rack and put it on, zipping it shut- She did her best to ignore the snow, clasping her arms together in front of her chest. As Jaquento turned again, she'd slip behind him and shove a low-setting stun baton down the back of his collar, then she'd focus her attention on Mombasa.

"Hey, look who made it onto the citadel!"

"Waargh! Verdammter Mist."
He hurried to get rid of the stun baton that was tickling his back.
"Ha, alright Sarah, I concede, if only to prevent accidents."
Jaquento wondered why she put on a jacket, the snow wasn't real, but he adjusted the snowfall back to normal anyway.
"Be more careful with the merchandise, yes?"

Oh shit.
Hang on.
Short blonde hair. Blue eyes. Female...
Computing... Please stand by...
"Well shit. Burke isn't it? I was just... Leaving. Yeah. You know. Um... My job... I'm totally hunting down this smuggler, you know, he brought like, some drugs onto from the Citadel to Mombasa, and I have been sent some several thousand miles to stop him at the source."
Yeah. Really fucking convincing.
"So... What are you doing here?"

Perhaps mental conditioning- Snow means cold- And she /hated/ the cold. She pumps a triumphant fist of victory over Jaquento, then nods to Mombasa's statement. "S..So you traveled thousands of miles to stop a drug pusher. That's .. a bit much." She scratched at her scalp. "I'm working for Jaquento. Helping him around the shop for this sale thing."

"...What's with the Fake snow?"
Not important.
"Turns out that Shuttles to Arcturus do not happen every day. I'm stuck on the Citadel in my crappy hotel room until I can leave."
No need to ask why I'm heading to Arcturus surely.
"So. You're working here? That must be... Well, quite frankly, I can't imagine many sane people wanting to buy their relatives guns for Christmas."
Looking around the store, there does only seem to be me and some other women.
"Still, don't tell any of them I'm here. The less people that think I've stopped going native the better.

Michelle walked back to Sarah.

- Ok I'll take it, thanks Sarah, I guess...

She then noticed Mombasa. Her smile grew ide and her eyes glittered behind her huge glasses. She held her hand in front of her.

- Heeyyyy there, I'm Michelle! Nice to meet you!

"Hello stranger. I'm here on official... Nevermind. Hello,"
Random strangers coming up to me in stores? Perhaps it's another one of Them.

- Hu hu, you come here often? I mean, you're from around here? The Citadel?

"I'm from Kenya. I'm here on business."
I could be a arsehole and stop this insesscent chit chat, but then again, what else do I have to do today?
"So, what's a lady like you doing in a store like this?"

- Ho I'm just getting something to defend myself, I'm starting a new job that could entail bad encouters. Sarah helped a lot, she's great.
Kenya you said? How exotic, I never went there! I actually know someone who...

Michelle squinted through her huge glasses, then looked at her omni-tool.

- You're that guy who turned out to be a hottie after shaving his must... I mean you're that Mombasa cop! So nice to meet you in real! I'm HereToHelp on the boards!

"Here to help huh? You're the lady who bought Burkes old apartment right?"
Great, another CDN'er. Walk into a random store on the citadel, and soon it'll be a reunion.

Meanwhile...
"Ok, you don't need to decide right now. I'll give you time to think this through, while I attend to the others. I don't need to write that down for you, I assume?"
Jaquento caught a glimpse of Sarah chatting with custumers, he didn't recognize any of them and he didn't particular care either as long as their chits would clear.
Satifsfied that the shop was filling up he returned to the counter and made some slight adjustments to the holographic decor. Maybe the artificial snowfall was a bit to much after all.

"Sorry, trying to work out this month's budget. I'll send you a com when I've decided..." She laughed. "No, you don't have to write that down, thank you. I'm going to go look at rifles I can't afford."

Arbitrary walked on in through the door. She gave Jaq a curt nod before slowly beginning to browse the inventory, making quiet comments to herself with the helmet microphone off. She still had her heavily modified sniper rifle on her back, not feeling right going into any kind of gun store without showing off a little bit of flash.
