[d20 Modern] The "In Character" Character game Part Two

Daniel smiles at Gandalf. "Thanks for the help. We're going to do our best." A slight hint of severity creeps into his voice. "But have a backup plan." With that, he tunes into the gun talk, and follows Vivi.

Wille removes the sub-zero mask and ties his hair with the magical ponytail holder, speaking as he does.
"Thanks, Gandalf. Don't worry, I won't be crushing any noses or cracking skulls with it. Well if you exclude Barney's"
Winking, Wille heads after the others. He tucks the mask to his belt.

"Nah, it was just a suggestion. I'd personally take just about anything that makes a loud bang."

"Well I can always offer suggestions then," Festy replies, "For simplicity, durability and ease of use I'd look to the ye-old Colt 1911: proven time and time again world-wide (its been in use since, you guessed it, 1911). For something as easy, if not easier to use, but with more style and less kick I'd suggest the Vektor CP1, an aesthetic South African 9mm pistol whose exterior was designed by an arthouse instead of engineers. For style and quality in a weapon which packs a punch I'd suggest Korth, a German gun company who makes the best revolvers in the world. The cost of their revolvers start from three times the cost of Smith & Wesson's best. They don't look half bad either. Those are just suggestions in the way of sidearms, if you got your sights set on something don't let me deter you. I'm happy to give advice to anyone who wants some... and even those who don't."

"Thanx." Jim takes the knife and puts it back in its case, hanging it securely on his belt and following the rest of them, keeping an eye out.

"James, you're driving me insane with firearms. So I take it we're of to Diagon Alley now ?"

"Well, let's go to Diagon Alley first and then we can go find Snake...I think he might be sleeping this early in the morning."

Vivi bounced up down the street, heading out of the Cornell University toward a bunch of buildings that they were at earlier. Near the Friends cafe, but he went further down, nearly rolling down the steep hill that led toward the lake. The air remained cold and whoever didn't dress up for the weather was shaking down to their bones.

Finally, Vivi led them to a bar with tacky orange and brown exterior. Outside the moniker "Moonshadows" beckoned them inside to view a dive if they ever did see one. Vivi lead them into the back where a huge painted picture obviously done up by someone tripping on something lined the walls. He pressed something no one could see and the wall parted to reveal a portal that lead into Diagon Alley.

Diagon Alley, the Oxford Street of Wizardry, appeared right near the end - look exactly like...well...oddly enough, like the movie. And eeriely there seemed to be faint background music playing but no one could determine where it was coming from.

All around the shops sparkled with evident lack of life as the streets remained quite empty of people. Inside though, they could see shopowners bustling about with the strangest of wares.

You currently all stand next to a very large and imposing bank with huge goblins standing outside the doors. They barely give you the time of day. The sign in front tells everyone that this is Gringotts Bank...and the other sign gives you a fair warning indeed...

Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay more dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there.

Vivi describes some of the other stores in the alley...

"So, which is the Junk shop?" Daniel looks around. "Do you think they take plastic?"

Wille smirks at 'Junk Shop' and 'taking plastic', but keeps silent. Mostly due to the fact that he's freezing in his outfit.
"Maybe we should also drop by at the dojo, to ask if they know how on Earth Sub-Zero didn't freeze to death in this pyjama."

Six goes into her bag, and produces some dollar bills and many more pound notes. "What do they take here? I'm vague on magical currency. Gold Pieces? We're in Britain now, right? So will they take pounds?" Six looks around at all the shops. "Well, we should be going to the Junk Shop first, not counting a magical Bureau de Change if we need too, I wouldn't mind getting some clothes too, and the robe place might have dresses in the bargain bin. I'd like a squirrel from that pet shop...oh, and we'll have to check the bookshop for Sailor Moon manga, particularly ones with me or the wand in it..."

If Vivi says British or American money is acceptable in Diagon Alley, Six goes off to the Junk Shop.
If not, she advises they head into the bank to try and change their money into Wizard currency.
