Ah, hello, everyone! How are you all? The sales of my plushies have been doing well, and I've been cooking a lot at my other job, too, but, ah... I just wanted to ask about something a little confusing.

What's the strangest thing you've ever seen for sale?

Because I'm seeing a lot of odd things lately. Silver-coated vegetable jewelry, portraits of dogs in suits, and candles that make people fall in love with you... Do those actually work? I suppose if community magic can do it for a week. I'm not sure.

I've seen a copy of Starswirl's Big Picture Book of Legends go up for a half a million bits before.

[You... are a horse. Well, you're not the first talking horse she's seen here, so...]

That's... kind of scary, but at least it makes sense and isn't a beer mug steering wheel cover?

[a_complicated_shine]

Okay you've got me there. I haven't seen that happen before.

[aquaticrush]

I'm not sure why people want these things...

[a_complicated_shine]

Novelty? I mean, hay, I wouldn't mind something novelty once in a while...

[aquaticrush]

A few things are very nice! Like the purse made out of the dictionary! But then there's, um, this.

[a_complicated_shine]

Okay you had me at purse made out of a dictionary [how scandalous!] But what is even that necktie...

[voltaceleste]

The strangest thing? Probably a pair of feather hairpins.

[which...he is wearing.]

[blinkblink] I suppose that isn't that bad. I feel a little bad for insulting these, but I just saw a bottle full of dead bees for sale, and I'm not sure what anybody wants with that.

[video]

[voltaceleste]

Just...dead bees?

[????]

Why?

[video]

[aquaticrush]

I don't know! Maybe they're useful for something, but I can't think of anything at all right now.

[voltaceleste]

Unless someone thinks they can reanimate them, signorina--which at this point would not surprise me--I can't say that I know.

[aquaticrush]

I wouldn't want undead bees either. I'm not sure what I'd do with them.

[voltaceleste]

Maybe there's some market for undead honey. I don't know.

[aquaticrush]

Um...?

[lil_tanuki]

Oh c'mon it's funny!

[aquaticrush]

I'm not sure I get it. But maybe that's the point?

[lil_tanuki]

Yeah that's totally the point. Good job!

[cherryblooded]

I've seen plenty of products meant to attract love, but it's always hard to tell which of them are the real deal and which are just scams.

How have you been?

[aquaticrush]

Ah! Da-- Cherryblod-san, hello! I didn't know you were back! A lot of things have happened... I'm in a new place, cooking and selling plush dolls on the side instead of waiting tables.

[cherryblooded]

It's only been a few days.

...Community again?

[aquaticrush]

Yes, I'm very sorry -- it's been months on our end. Have you been all right?

[cherryblooded]

Just fine. I'm sorry to have left you so long.

[aquaticrush]

It's all right. We managed. I mean, we had a virus at the beginning of the year or so where we all sort of obsessively hoarded things, and for me it was making more and more plush representations of the people around me because I thought if I just had more-- I'm talking too much again. I'm sorry. But that one turned out all right, it's because of that that I have this shop in the first place!

[Also Little Issei. He's sitting on her pillow, happy-looking as ever, though at least he's not the only decoration in the room now and she's actually starting to decorate her new place.]

But I'm looking over other things people have for sale and they're a little... um. I'm not sure.
