Shard smiles broadly and spreads his arms. "Wonderful! I've not much, but I do have enough to chip in should we need to buy more supplies."
He fumbles through his cloak, looking through some small bag (or bags) he has under there. A moment later he seems to give up, and looks back at everyone. "Yeah. Not much." The Matoran blinks and glances in Lync's direction.
"Have you anything with you? If you don't have enough supplies I'm sure we-", he gestures to the other three Matoran
"-can help cover the cost."
He smiles (what he seems to think) is a winning smile in her direction.
"Er, uh, I have some discs with me, I think," she says, quickly checking to see whether or not the Matoran she had copied had any discs. Yes, yes it looked like they had. "Yup, I remembered them! Don't need anything, don't you worry about me..." She attempts to smile back, a notably weaker effort.
"Very good then," Shard says in a happy voice, looking back at both Eric and Rhupt. "What about you, friend Darren?"
He pauses after, seeming to consider Rhupt's question. "Ah, I mean..."
Shard looks around the store for any items of seeming interest. "...you're a mask-maker, if I'm not mistaken?"

It's mostly just masks popular in Metru Nui, so nothing particularly fancy. There are some modification options as well, such as scopes.
"Indeed I am." Rhupt replies, though the words lack any pride. Almost sounded negative in fact, like he either doubted or knew his craftsmanship was not that great.

"Well," Shard says at length. "If we are embarking on such a voyage, perhaps a scope could help." He looks over a group of scoped masks (or failing their presence, looks for instances of scoped masks on the shelves). "Is that something that would take any significant time to prepare? I wouldn't want to slow our progress down."

There are a couple different models available, like the scope changing lenses typically found on the Akaku, others are long singular ones like on the Great Matatu, and some are smaller, flatter ones that hardly come out of the mask.
"A simple addition like that would not take long."

Shard nods once, and indicates one of the Akaku-models. "That would do nicely. How long would you anticipate it taking?"

Lync follows the conversation absentmindedly, wandering away from the others and looking over the Kanohi. So this was what was important to Matoran. There were so many of them. Did Matoran just.. know what all of these were? She picks one up, noticing how it resembled her face. Er, her 'mask'. The memories from the Matoran she copied said it was a... cowcow? No, a Kaukau. Whatever that meant.

"Ah, one of the simple additions. It wouldn't take long, give me about ten minutes or so with your mask and it will be done."

"Very well, here-"
Shard leans against one of the nearby walls, removing his Kanohi and hold it out toward Rhupt. "-here you are then."
Rhupt takes the mask and gives a, "I'll get right to it!" and grabs one of the scopes. He takes out his firestaff and begins working on the mask, fusing it over the right eye hole.
Though noticing Lync going through the masks, he says without looking up, "Any peek your interest? A couple of them should be powered."

"Uhhh... still looking! Don't worry about me, haha." She stares at the masks, thoughts spinning. They had powers? Could... could she use the power? She... didn't think Matoran could, but she wasn't a Matoran, now was she? It seemed worth a shot.
"Uh, actually," she calls, squeaking slightly. "Which ones are powered? Just out of curiosity."

"A couple of the Kakama and Hau are powered, might have some others types in stock but I need to check. Not much business with the Toa, they got their own mask makers." Rhupt replies disappointingly. "I can typically tell by memory, but you should be able to feel its power coming from them if it has any."

Shard gives him a thumbs up and murmurs his thanks, leaning against the wall and looking out of the store with bleary eyes. For however much trepidation he might still have, it was at least nice to meet some new and friendly-seeming people in this city. He smiles faintly at the thought.
"Oh yes," he calls out suddenly, in Rhupt's general direction. "Do you have a method in mind, for us to travel down these islands? For the expedition, I mean."

Rhupt smiles and shuts off the firestaff, cooling the mask off first before handing it off to Shard.
"Yes, and you'll see her beauty when we head for Ga-Metru. Would have kept her here with me, but Ta-Metru is not a place for her."
"Uhhh... still looking! Don't worry about me, haha." She stares at the masks, thoughts spinning. They had powers? Could... could she use the power? She... didn't think Matoran could, but she wasn't a Matoran, now was she? It seemed worth a shot.

"I can typically tell by memory, but you should be able to feel its power coming from them if it has any."
"Uh... right, okay." She blinks, trying to take in all the strange names. Kakama was... that one, she thought? She puts a hand on it, trying to feel the power like Rhupt had said. Nothing. Wrong mask, or just a powerless one? She wasn't sure.
She walks throughout the store, brushing her fingers across various masks. It takes her by surprise when she does feel the power; the suddenness of it making it feel more like an electric shock. She pulls back instinctively, identifying the mask in question. She grabs it, assuring herself that it isn't going to hurt her, and pulls it from its spot.
"So this is one of them?" she asks, holding up a Hau for Rhupt to see.

Rhupt nods. "Yes, that's one. Yours if you want it, might be useful if you ever become a Toa one day."

Rhupt nods. "Yes, that's one. Yours if you want it, might be useful if you ever become a Toa one day."
IC: "Heh. Yeah. One day." She tucks the mask behind her launcher. "So, uh, how many people were we waiting on again? Not a big deal, just curious."
Rhupt nods. "Yes, that's one. Yours if you want it, might be useful if you ever become a Toa one day."
IC: "Heh. Yeah. One day." She tucks the mask behind her launcher. "So, uh, how many people were we waiting on again? Not a big deal, just curious."
"Well, if no others come I suppose we can try with just us. I would hope for a couple more but..." Rhupt droned off in silence and then slowly turned off his firestaff. Cooling off the mask, he hands it back over to Shard.
"All done! Let me know if you want any adjustments to the scope.

IC: Shard takes the scoped Akaku and nods appreciatively toward Rhupt. "Thank you, my friend." He uses his other hand to pop off his Hau, quickly clamping the Akaku in its place. The Matoran's face pinches as he focuses a moment, the scope on the mask zooming in on Rhupt until the Ta-Matoran's eye resembles a sun more than anything else.
He quickly focuses on retracting the zoom, blinking at the strain. "Ah. It works, a bit fast but nothing I can't manage. Thank you again."
