But you're a face I haven't ever seen before! You see, we here at Crazy Red have a creed we stick by, and it's family!

[Crazy Redd sidles next to York and wraps an arm around him.]

But not just anyone is in ol' Crazy Redd's family of cousins! I'm willing to offer you the chance with a low, low one-time price of 10,000 bits!

[callmeyork]

[Unfazed. Totally unfazed through all of that, even as he's taking in the paintings and sculptures and whatnot.]

So you're Redd himself, huh? Pleasure to meet you, I suppose. FBI Special Agent Francis York Morgan. Please, call me York. It's what everyone calls me. [And as he says that, he fumbles around his chest for something, but can't quite seem to get into his suit.] ... I'll... get the badge later.

And you're right, I am new to the area... and as such, a little too broke to be able to afford anything at such a price. At least, not until I find a currency exchange around here.

[cash_is_freedom]

[FBI? Oh CRAP. Before York gets a chance to look at anything more, Redd goes to hastily push him out of the tent.]

Why, that's a wonderful idea! You go look for a nice currency exchange while ol' Crazy Redd here waits for you! Can't have you snooping around my business...

[callmeyork]

[That's the reaction he expected. He's pushing back, trying to stay in and take a look around.]

Relax, Redd, I'm not on duty here. Besides, I'm in Homicide and Investigation, not Financial. This sort of thing? Not my jurisdiction. Unless, you know, somebody was killed in here. Then you can expect a more official visit from me.

But really, I'm just curious about the local scene, so... can you blame me for wanting a better view?

[cash_is_freedom]

[Crazy Redd pauses to think about this, still blocking York's view of anything. ...He's really not too sure about this guy. He IS on the side of law, after all...]

...Ol' Crazy Redd isn't too sure that you aren't lying, bub!

[callmeyork]

[A little bit more digging, and... aha! York procures and displays his badge... which is clearly for the "Canterlot Royal Investigation Bureau", or CRIB. What an acronym. There's him as a pony, Special Agent, Homicide division. Get a good look at it, Redd, because he's going to turn it around to look at it himself.]

What in the... alright, y'know, I shouldn't be surprised. Really, really shouldn't.

[cash_is_freedom]

...Well, I'll be!

[Redd relents. His eyes are still squinted closed. How can he see?]

You had ol' Crazy Redd here in for quite a scare for a second! It was a shocking situation for me! You could even go as far to say that it was...

CRAAAAAAAAAZY!

...You can look, but not touch. Or tell.

[York can see various items and paintings. A sword comprised out of 14 oddly-shaped jewels. A red amulet. A golden necklace with a red lightning-shaped gem. A very modern-looking lamp.

As for the paintings... they're all expertly painted. York might be able to tell most of them to be fakes if he has a keen enough eye. AND a good grasp on famous paintings in Equestria.]

[callmeyork]

Fair enough. [And look he does.

He's got no idea about Equestrian art history, unfortunately. Though considering the business and the businessman, he's already pretty sure a good number of these are forgeries. But damn if they're not impressive in their own right.]

Interesting collection, Mr. Redd... I can see you're quite the avid collector.

[cash_is_freedom]

Most of them I've found. You'd be surprised what people throw away!

[callmeyork]

I certainly would. One man's trash, and all that.

You must do very well for yourself, selling such luxury goods.

1/2

[cash_is_freedom]

Hahahaha! I certainly do! Those suckers... I've been in business for years! I have the things nobody else has! And I do it all for cheap! I have so mant retuning customers, it's...

[cash_is_freedom]

CRAAAAAAAAAZY!

[callmeyork]

[That wasn't getting old at all, nope.]

You're one of a kind, Redd. Rest assured, when I actually have some funds, I'll be back for business.

[And with that, he maneuvers around to leave, pushing through the tent flaps.]
