[ As such, Bruno, if you decide to enter the kitchy clothing shop with the dancing toy rhino in the window, there will be a few things to notice. ]
[ One, the clothing selection is pretty wide, considering the place also seems to sell both living room and patio furniture in various styles of wicker. ]
[ Two, the dancing rhino is clearly not adequately utilizing the full power of its electrical input and also has several small flaws in its design that could probably easily be fixed if someone just spent a couple minutes with it and a screwdriver. ]
[ Three, the middle aged probably-a-single-mother blond woman that probably is the only person on staff today has her forehead pinched in her one hand, fingers massaging her eyebrows, and is probably wondering if anyone will notice or care if she sneaks some of that bottle of Jack in the back storage room. ]
[ And finally, there is a younger woman with green hair and in a red dress that appears to holding a ball of flame in one hand. She is also examining leather jackets, and is giving no mind to the fact that her one hand is holding certain death and property damage in the form of a ball of fire in a store full of clothing and dried wicker furniture. ]
[ Please choose your adventure wisely. ]

[It is indeed the inadequate dancing rhino that catches his eye first, and while he pats himself down trying to remember whether this is the jacket that Fraziska made him take all the tools out of or not he makes a practically instinctual bee-line across the road and into the store. He glances around a little when he walks in. Okay, clothes and furniture and stuff, a store employee who clearly is very worried about her inadequate rhino, girl with her hand on fire, cool.]
[Hey wait a sec. He double-takes at Terra. Then... stares. Then quickly sidles over to her through the racks.]
Er... ma'am?

[At any rate, the girl only looks up from her jacket examination when Bruno speaks; when she does, she looks a little perplexed-she doesn't recognize him, after all, and he's not calling to her by name, so it's not like they know one another. The fire stays put.]
Yes?

[... Wait, she isn't even burning. And there's no way she wouldn't have noticed something like that by now, unless...]
Oh, er... are you an import?
Reply
[But at least the question is easy enough to answer.]
Yes, I am. [Well, the blue hair is unusual enough...] Are you?

Uhm... are you sure you should be doing that indoors? It could be dangerous.
Reply
[In any case, she looks a little embarrassed, not meeting Bruno's disturbingly shineless eyes]
Well... it's hard to tell how resilient the fabric is.

So you're setting it on fire?? [Terra even Bruno recognizes that this is inappropriate treatment of other peoples' personal property.]
... There's gotta be a better way than that.
