He looks down at his tablet and presses a few buttons. "That will be... Apparently quite steep. 120000¤... Of course, these have been sitting in the back for months, so I can probably give you a discount if it means finally selling them. How does 60000¤ sound?"

Syntax lets out a small blip of distress as his eyes increase in vertical resolution.
"Uh. Maybe a cheaper metal? I do not know if that is within my budget, considering I still have a lot to do..."

//Okay. Thanks Umbra

Tim, sporting a fair bit of scruff, walks down a crowded hallway on the station. He puts his hands in his jacket pockets as he turns a corner into the marketplace.
Where was the tool shop again? Tim thinks, as he begins looking around.

Where was the tool shop again? Tim thinks, as he begins looking around.

There are various tool shops around the market. One in particular... does not stand out at all. It is a small shop, at the very edge of the market, and wedged in between two much bigger shops. The sign reads "EzEl Electrical", with what appears to be an old sign sitting against the wall next to it that reads "Eli & Zeke's Parts and Junk". It looks like the store was in the process of being renovated, but work ended half way through. There appear to be some tools on display, along with wires, parts, scrap, and electronic appliances. The man who presumably runs the store, a gold-skinned elf-like man, is currently going between talking to a robot and a woman.

As Tim scans the stores, he notices the smaller shop. Maybe they're carrying it...well, it's worth a shot. Tim begins to walk over, feeling a wave of dejá-vu hit him as he sees the woman. Why does she seem familiar...? He tries to shake off the feeling as he reaches the shop, quickly scanning over the various tools on display.

((Heck, I'm sort of reusing character ideas, and multiple of those were basically clichés to begin with... I am trying to think more about characterization and plots for my characters though. [i.e. no more temporal shennanigan retconning. Though I do plan for some of the temporal nonsense to have had an effect here, I will be avoiding actual time travel and related phenomena at all costs... Well, okay, one (very) side character might break that rule but it literally has nothing to do with the rest of the RP currently, but rather a piece of background RP to do with the previous one. WIBBLEY WOBBLEY TIMEY WIMEY! But yes that plan aside, no more of that.]

Danu scans her card at the register, after all money is one of the few constants of the universe that almost every society relies on to function. And with this world's technology, they almost certainly would have invented debit cards or a similar scheme of electronically transferring money.

After a bit of walking, the two finally come to the port, assuming Ezekiel has nothing else to say.

Then he tips over due to the weight. He stands back up, grumbling. "Guess I will have to drag this back to Engineering..."

Tim examines the tool, before nodding. "That's perfect. How much for it?"
