Bazaar - Looking for Shamus
« on: July 13, 2011, 05:45:37 PM »

Helix meanders through the bazaar, glancing in various stores and perusing the items offered.  He asks a few questions about some things, but doesn't seem to necessarily care about the answer.  He appears more stylized than before...the hair a bit spikier, his eyes a bit brighter, and just in general more...there.  He casually asks some of the passing Avatars if they know where to find Shamus, but like before, he doesn't seem to respond positively or negatively to their answers.

A small floating robotic thingermagigger floats down in front of Helix.  It snaps a picture with a bright flash.

Helix blinks a few times and then wipes his eyes.  He looks at the machine confused for a moment and then in a quick motion attempts to grab the robot thingermaggiger.

It simply floats higher up.

Helix frowns and watches it float higher.  He scratches the back of his neck with one hand and then shrugs and mutters under his breath.  "I've never been a fan of E-tek."

Then he looks up at the thingamaggiger and smiles a bit.  "You want to blind me again?  You'll need to be a lot faster than that."

Then he turns and takes off, running full speed until he comes to an intersection, skidding slightly before running left down into an alley, glancing over his shoulder to see if the thingamaggiger is following.

It isn't.  But there is a different one hovering around the corner.

Helix turns the corner and his eyes widen briefly before he slides feet first under the robot.  Once on the other side, he jumps up and spins around facing the robot.  His eyes narrow and he reaches for his his back, drawing a long sword in one swift motion.  He steps forward with his left foot and holds the sword in front of him with two hands.  He starts to bounce from front to back, waiting eyes focused solely on the thingamaggiger.

"Sword down, Helix.  Now." Comes the voice, of Dr. Ashleigh Connors, from behind Helix.

"Not that you could really do much with that anyway.  But, I don't want you to find out the hard way about the Bazaar security system's intolerance of violence.  Really, you should start learning to just talk to the management, if you are being harassed."

Ashleigh looks up with his dark lenses, at the probes, and shakes his head with a grin.  He pulls his handheld device of his belt, and hovers his thumb over its face.  He the fixes his gaze on one probe and mouths the words, "Leave.  Now."

It snaps a picture of Ashleigh with a flash and continues going about it's business.

Helix blinks and then puts the sword away and shrugs.

"Harassed?  I wouldn't call it that.  Just not sure what that thing was in the first place, and since it seemed intent on blinding me, I figured that.."

He trails off and then puts both his hands behind his head, scratching his neck.  "Sorry.  Didn't mean to cause a scene.  I guess I'm still getting used to how things work here."

"It is intended to capture an image of you.  Like making a portrait, only much, much faster.  And it has no business being here.  A fact I will be reminding it's controller, in no uncertain terms, very shortly.

Now how can The Bazaar help you?"

Helix shrugs.

"Well it can have my picture then.  As for why I'm here...I was looking for Shamus, and I wasn't sure where to find him.  He had made me...well an offer...but I wasn't sure if it was still open."
