[There's the distinct 'clink, clink, clink' of coins, accompanied then by an irritated huff.]

This is absolutely ridiculous. I refuse to believe that this is serious. It's bad enough that this place makes no sense on the whole, but this? I'd begun to think that perhaps there is little shame in taking what is offered, even for stupid reasons, but this is most definitely a joke! This is money? How are these gaudy pieces of metal worth anything?

So much for sophisticated commerce being something universal. Even that is foreign here. Fine.

Either way, I'm going to need to find something else to wear. Ulgo dresses are so stuffy, and the weather here doesn't call for that. However, I'll need to be directed to a proper dressmaker, as it seems that most of the people here are fond of wearing the silliest things. I'd like a sturdy pair of sandals, too, and maybe some good combs.

I can only hope that the marketplace itself is suitable.

[The coins 'clink' again, and then jingle as they're being dropped into a small bag.]

I suppose that I should also thank those who stopped to help me and speak with me upon my arrival. Allen, Dresden, Oz, Lord Aragorn... I even remembered all of your names, see?
