Aincrad Excerpt - Diemond For You! · 12:12am Feb 14th, 2020
Excerpt From Episode Episode 29 - Coming Tuesday!
The guild hall was all set up. Rows of tables and clothe-racks had replaced the chairs. Banners identifying each table's focus had been put up in between the normal Wondercolt banners. Despite it being turned into a shop it still was a guild hall and held some of its regal air.
The armor had been placed in the front greeting chamber, along with the jewelry. Knightstar would be watching over it and assisting customers there. Backbreaker and Joltron were outside, holding back the crowd until 4pm hit. Joltron was using his old shield that bore the Wondercolt's horse head on its face.
AFCK already had batches of cupcakes, cookies, and pastries out and more were on standby to be baked to replace the ones eaten. They had purchased a bunch of cheap cups for the event, but Astro and Thunderborne would be switching out washing them. Germs couldn't be transmitted, but certain habits died hard and Diemond insisted on a proper washing. She would accept nothing but the best.
None of them were in armor, outside of Joltron and Backbreaker out front. They all had various outfits Diemond had made them, all bearing the Wondercolt colors and horse head insignia. They looked in charge and uniformed despite the differences. Astro, Thunderborne, and Bladescape were wearing their weapons with the outfits. So we're Kiefer and Doombunny, but they were not visible to most of the customers. The door to the kitchen had a sign on it marking it for no entry, in case the guards were not present. The bathrooms were clearly marked, with the dining hall and staircase roped off. Across from that was where Doombunny and Kiefer were watching the staircase. If that went unguarded, the whole building was free to slippery folks.
There was a big crowd already, stretching down along the front of the buildings to allow people to pass through the main square. They would have to limit the number of customers in the building to keep order. It was an unexpected, but good, surprise they had to deal with.
Klein and the rest of his guild skipped the line and walked straight up to the door. “Yo, BB, Joltron, can we get in to talk to Blade? You know, before you open the doors and ruin the ability for us to talk, guild to guild.”
“Go on in, Klein,” Backbreaker said. The crowd protested their admittance. Backbreaker handled them. “Hold your horses. They're friends and they're not goin' to be buyin' anythin'. It’s guild business.”
“Klein,” Bladescape said as they came in. “What has you here.”
“Well, we figured you guys might need some assistance. And the only reason we are in our full gear is because we don’t have anything better to wear.”
Klein’s smile was his usual, goofy smile of over bloated confidence that also was on the verge of being legitimately backed up. He could back most of it, just not all.
“No early sales,” Bladescape said, crossing her arms and trying not to laugh.
“Klein!” Diemond exclaimed, as she came into the room. She was anxious as she tried to make the final adjustments for perfection and she had no time to chat at a normal speed. “Thank goodness you guys are here. I had a feeling you would show up. Well Pinkie did but that isn't the point. I need your help. I'm freaking out. We don’t have the hands to cover so much merchandise. I'm afraid we bit off more than we can chew."
"That's what us guys in Fuurinkazan are here for!" Klein retorted with his usual grin. He gave a thumbs up and gave a wink as well.
