Chapter 6 part 2

The next part of chapter 6

 The group went down stairs groggy and half asleep. The sun wasn't up yet but they needed an early start, to get info.

Alice's first intention was food.

Sebastian's stomach growled. Knowing the rest were probably hungry too, he decided to cash in on Liam's promise. "Hey old man! We're gonna eat before we go!" 

The man was half asleep on the bar. "Yeah yeah sure. Help yourselves to whatever." Then he went back to sleep.  

Sebastian's eyes shined and Anakin face palmed knowing the were going to bankrupt the poor man.

Alice grabbed all the cookies. Seeing as Sebastian ate everything else.

 They decided to wander the town to see if they could find any leads on the items creating the other world.

 Annie watched Ash, knowing that both felt the uneasiness. Alice kept glancing back at her brother feeling his uncomfortable aura. Sebastian found himself wondering off from the group when he smell something appealing.

"Mm. What is that?" Sebastian stopped before the stand that smelled so good.

An intelligent looking man answered him. "Freshly cooked crab legs. We got fresh caught lobster too. Only twenty bronze a pound."

Sebastian faced the rest that were walking toward him. "Please guys? I really want some." He whined.

"Oh, Sebastian love. We can't." Ash told him.

Anakin nodded. "Shes right. We don't have any money." They didn't even know what the currency was here.

"Fine." He grumbled.

The old man decided it was time to interject. "If it is funds you lack, then there is a bounty board. If you can handle it." He pointed to a wooden board that had a few posters of wanted criminals.

  Ash peaked over Sebastian's holder. "We should start out small." She said. "We don't know how strong the people in this world are, nor if they have powers or not."

Anakin agreed. "Let's pick one one with a small bounty. I'm almost positive the higher bounty ones do in fact have supernatural abilities."

 "Ooh bounty!!!" Alice said. "How 'bout this one?" Alice pointed to a random poster.

Anakin evaluated it, making sure the bounty wouldn't be too hard or to low amount of money. "Hey mister, exactly what is the currency here?"

The man looked at them carefully. "You must be foreigners. Most don't take kindly to strangers in these parts." He leaned toward them over his stand. "But I ain't one of them. Come closer so I can better explain it to ya." 

The quartet listened and did as he said.

The older man reached under the stand and pulled out a box. He set the box on the counter facing himself so the others couldn't see what was in it. He carefully selected three coins from it and closed the box, making sure he latched and locked it, then set it back down to its original resting place. 

He set the coins down in a row. "These are Bronze," He pointed to a coin that was, well bronze. "Silver, and Gold pieces." He pointed to them in order. "A hundred Bronze makes up one Silver. A hundred Silver makes up one Gold. Pretty simple." He gestured to the wanted poster board  "Most of the guys on there ain't worth more than a few dozen Bronze each."

Anakin thanked the man. "Thank you we greatly appreciate it." 

The man just laughed him off. "If by the face of your friend there," nodding his head toward Sebastian drooling over the crab legs. "Then you'll be visiting me pretty soon after you get your first few Bronze." 

Anakin once more thanked the man and turned to leave. 

"Oh and boy," The man stopped him. "If you look hard enough, I'm sure someone will give you kids an odd job or two." 

"Thank you. We greatly appreciate it." Anakin then ran off to stop Sebastian from getting into trouble.
