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.

The strangest thing? Probably a pair of feather hairpins.

[which...he is wearing.]

[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?

[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.

[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...

[video]

[voltaceleste]

Just...dead bees?

[????]

Why?

[a_complicated_shine]

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

[aquaticrush]

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

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

[aquaticrush]

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

[aquaticrush]

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

[aquaticrush]

Um...?

[voltaceleste]

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

[aquaticrush]

That sounds a little disturbing and also very unsanitary.

[voltaceleste]

Clearly, I've gone completely insane just to suggest the concept.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry for disturbing you! Um, my name is Midorikawa Retasu and I hope your time here is... at least less bizarre than this at times?

...i see what you did there.

[voltaceleste]

Caesar. Caesar Antonio Zeppeli.

I'm afraid we've already skyrocketed past 'bizarre' and landed well into the realm of 'so surreal I think I've lost my mind.'

...now I do too

[aquaticrush]

It isn't really -- um, it's probably terrible if I say "it's usually much stranger," isn't it?

/badum-tssh

[voltaceleste]

...Define 'much stranger' if you would.

accidental puns: the life

[aquaticrush]

Well, every so often, odd things happen. Once, nobody could resist what they were ordered to do. Another time, it snowed everywhere and everyone wanted to make snow bunnies and such, but then our creations started attacking us.

[voltaceleste]

...

I suppose throwing my watch into the nearest river won't help, will it.

[aquaticrush]

It won't work. I'm sorry. But most of the people here are very nice!

[voltaceleste]

Humor me for a second, signorina. What year is it?
