[Salieri is out on the town today, running some shopping errands. Of course, he has yet to fully acclimate himself to the culture of 1950s America, so there's definitely some things to work through at each location. So, because I've gotten used to these, have a choose-your-own adventure post. He'll be at the following locations.]
1. [Salieri is at the local bakery / sweets shop, looking over the various dessert offerings and indulging his rather prominent sweet tooth. Of course, Mayfield doesn't make the sorts of things he's used to, so he's having a bit of difficulty with the drone woman behind the counter.]
"Pardon me, shopkeep - where are your nipples of Venus?"
[This prompts the drone to blush fiercely and cover her chest with an arm as she's cleaning up.]
"Mr. Salieri, how inappropriate! What would your wife say if she found out you were coming down here to flirt with another woman?"
[Needless to say, Salieri's quite confused.]
2. [Salieri is at the music store, marveling over the amazing innovation that is the record player. He's pestering the store employees to explain to him how one works, and gaping in wonderment at the ability to play back music.]
"Fascinating! I've never seen such an amazing device..."
[He'll be poking around the shop for a while, trying to find classical music and opera.]
3. [Salieri is walking around outside various clothing stores downtown, frowning at the drab suits hanging in the windows. No frilly coats or stockings anywhere - or not in any of the stores selling male clothing, at least.]
"What a depressing selection... is this what passes for fashion in this time?"
sweet tooth,
where are my fancy fop clothes,
glorious vision of the future,
nipples of venus
