(Richard) [Post 2]
With a sigh, Richard put his photo collection away. He stood up, then walked down the main street of Neo Paseo, watching all the people around him.
So many Palmans and Numans, he thought. And some Motavians, too. Hard to believe that it wasn't like this a thousand years ago.
He passed by a weapon store; a greatsword made out a shiny blue metal was prominently displayed in the store's main window, a price tag reading "New Item! MST 20400" hanging from its pommel. Surrounding it were several other weapons- some knives, some razor-sharp claws, and a pair of slender staves. Richard sighed, seeing a steel sword on display- part of him wanted to buy it, another part of him heard Rumi's voice in his head, saying, "Ricky, we bought that dagger and shield for you to use!"
It took some effort to drag himself away from the shop, and Richard soon found himself at a large fountain in the city's square. A small monument at its base read "For All Who Stood Against Dark Force."
