Hello Mahoney! I can see you quite well. My name is Giselle. :D

[mahoneybologna]

[Mahoney smiles at the image on her screen, for a moment distracted from the general hub-bub of the store around her.] Oh, good! You never no in this place. It's a pleasure to meet you Giselle.

So .. is this a chat room of some kind? The shop has never done this to me before ..

[dreaming_oflove]

What place is that?

It is an online community which seems to connect many different worlds and times! :D

I spelled 'know' wrong. NEWB/FAIL! D:

[mahoneybologna]

[She is still smiling, finding this quite amusing for the time being.]

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium .. it's a magical toy shop outside of New York. [She doesn't bat an eye in saying so, even if she's had her share of doubters in the past. She listens curiously and her smile falters a bit.]

You mean from all over the world .. well, that's how these forums work, right? [She frowns slightly, puzzled and uncertain is she misunderstood.]

[pink_sugargirl]

What kind of shop plays games with people?

[mahoneybologna]

[Mahoney smiles brightly at this.] Well, a magical one, of course!

[pink_sugargirl]

A magic store? What makes it magic?

[mahoneybologna]

Well, Mr. Magorium, I suppose. He's been here .. [She trails off and then smiles again, laughing] Well, he's been here an awful long time. As long as he's been here, the shop has been magical.

[She smiles at the little girl.] Do you believe in magic?

[mahoneybologna]

[She sighs a bit in relief]

Well, I'm certainly glad that there are people on the other side of this. I was just working on a few things for our inventory and the little screen popped up. I didn't even know it had a camera.

[Her smile is thankful] Thank you for the reassurances, Mr. ..?

V: Hey, you look just like my sorta-girlfriend!

[vengeful_virtue]

...welcome to the community.

We can all see you. You've just stumbled on the glitch that brings many of us to the community.

XD Oh noes! [video responses]

[mahoneybologna]

[Mahoney seems a bit surprised, but smiles all the same.] Thank you .. it's all a bit surprising, but I get the feeling that I'm taking it better than others.

[As she is talking, a human sized t-rex made of wood moves into the picture, walking of its own free will. It pauses and looks over Mahoney's shoulder and seems to smile before walking past.]

Are their very many people here? I've only met a few, but there seem to be many posts ..

xD So many Natalie Portmans!

[vengeful_virtue]

You do seem to be getting the hang of it fairly quickly...

...

...there are quite a lot of people, I doubt I could count how many.

...was that a dinosaur?

But she's so daggum lovely! :D

[mahoneybologna]

[She smiles as she reads, shrugging it away to cover the pleased blush.] Well, I thank my current surroundings for that .. hard to work in a magical toy shop and be overwhelmed that magic exists elsewhere, right? I mean .. I thought it was only Mr. Magorium, but I've been wrong before.

[Mahoney nods at this and then laughs aloud, a bright smile on her face as she nods again.] Yes .. that was Baxter .. He's been here as long as I have .. he .. well, he's curious.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Mahoney. My name is Karen Minazuki.

[Mahoney smiles and waves at the camera.]

Hi, Karen .. it's nice to meet you too. Have you been here a long time, too?

A little over a year now, actually.
