((Neo, I'm going to assume you're just going to listen to Orik as we walk.))
I follow the young miss out of the alley and back to my cart, and she comes up walking her riding contraption.
"Aye. I'm glad to educate one as young as you miss.", Orik says as he picks up the end of his cart and starts walking. "Now then, most, if not all of ya kind, man that tis, don't remember that me race, the dwarves, were the native race to this land y'all call Japan. It was a glorious time, when we dwarves were the only ones in this land. There was not a lick of hostility anywheres, and the land was all united, kinda like it is now, except most of us lived underground. Our biggest stronghold was located underneath Dar Erothknurl, or what is now known as Mount Fuji. My clan was the residing ruling class for the dwarves and rightfully so for hundreds of generations. And I should let you in on a fact." Orik leans closer to the young miss as he stops to tell her. "Us dwarves live for close to near a millennia. Well, the oldest dwarf in our histories lived until he was 836 years of age before returning to the realm of Moradin. But most of us live until we reach the age of, oh... roughly in the span of 500 ta 600 years of age. And I'm 207." Orik gives a hearty laugh as gets done saying this. "So ya can imagine how long a hundred generations of us dwarves is equal to. At least 50,000 years, this land has belonged to me kind.
Orik takes a breath as he rounds a corner getting closer to the shopping district of Fakku City. "Well, I shan't go too much more on me kind's history, but I do got one last thing to say. About 900 years ago, mankind started getting greedy. Well, we had been sharing the land with your kind for the last 6,000 years, but that is neigh irrelevant now. 900 years ago, your kind started a war of extinction with me kind. It took nearly 750 years, of secret wars, to kill all of me kind. I was lucky as me mother took me to an unknown place during me kind's last stand at our stronghold under Mount Fuji. That unknown place was here, at Fakku City, neigh unto 150 years ago. Since then, I've not seen a lick of any other of me kind. Orik stops as he reaches the front of the music instrument repair shop.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye then, young miss. Just tell the man inside that I told ya to talk to him about fixin' your fine instrument. He shall give you a good price." Orik laughs as he taps the young miss' back in the traditional dwarven way of saying goodbye, and then walks towards the nearest store that sells cooking supplies.
Orik sets his cart outside the shop, to which the owner then comes out and greets him. "Oi, Nina. How have ya been.", Orik says as he smiles at the shop owner. "Oh, business has been picking up a little bit, but I'm doing fine. I see you're here to sell me your fine butchering knives that I can't seem to keep in stock anymore.", the shop owner says playfully. "Yes ma'am, I am. I've thought of the price, and it should be 1,000 yen per blade for ya to sell, and I'll charge ya 500 yen per blade to sell them to ya. How about that", Orik says as he starts to laugh. "That should be-", the shop owner trails off as a couple of police men come near the shop front.
"How can I help you today, officers?", the store owner says.
"Actually, we're here for Mr. Orik.", one of the policemen say.
"Oh ho. How can I help ya sirs, as I am the Orik you seek."
"We're here to take you into custody, as you have a warrant out for your arrest. And we will also have to confiscate all of your wares and possessions."
"Oh, is that so. Might I ask what for, sir?"
"We have a warrant for your arrest for ignoring the notices of relocation that have been sent to you over the past few months."
"Oh ho. As I told them gentlemen as they gave me those papers, I have documentation from the prime minister that states that I unconditionally own the land where I currently reside, and it is up-to-date as per the requirements under the Endangered Races Protection Acts, passed a few years back."
"Well, we have received recent notification from the government that they have nullified any such agreements pertaining to land. And we also have a report from one man stating that you tried to beat him up with your axe, which is attempted battery."
"Now hold on now, I have a right to defend meself against the claims of said man for the attempted battery, but I should have received notification from the prime minister himself about the terms of our agreement being nullified before any attempts at relocation."
"I'm sorry sir, but that's out of our hands. We're just doing our job. Now if you could put your hands behind your back for us."
"Sure. But don't think I won't fight about all of this in court.", Orik says as he turns around and puts his hands behind his back. The other officer, who had stayed silent that whole time, steps forward with the handcuffs and starts his spiel. "Sir, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do can and will be held against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?" "Aye, I do."
"Okay... Um, I can't seem to get the cuffs around his wrists." "What do you mean?", the other officer asks. "I mean, they won't fit. His wrists are too big for them." "If'n it would help ya, I can just go with ya, if ya trust me. And I can load me wares into your car if'n you can't lift them."
"Yeah, okay.", the officer who had the cuffs said. Orik then picks up the box of his wares in one arm and walks to the police car, between both officers. As they reach the car, the front officer opens the trunk, and Orik puts his wares in the trunk, and then goes into the back seat of the car, and is driven toward the precinct, where he is taken inside. They finger print him and get his mug shots. After which they put him in a cell that had some man in it, with a helmet on.
"Oi. Hello there sir. My name is Orik Erothknurl, but you can call me Orik.", Orik says as he walks over to the guy and offers his hand. "What are ya in for?"
