STEP RIGHT UP, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN~ ♫

[Here we have a girl, short black hair and a brazen smile, standing in front of a hastily put together stall. A quick glance will show two types of gift for sale - trivia cards, and obscenely cute plush dolls. Look again, and you just might notice these things seem... strangely familiar?!]'Tales of'

Hey, what's all this-

[sacredbrat]

...Is that a Master Van action figure?!?

[anythingforgald]

It is! And look at the detail! I've seen a lot of these collector's items before, let me tell you, but that one? I'm telling you, no Van fan can go without one of these.

You are a fan, right?

[sacredbrat]

I'M MASTER VAN'S BIGGEST FAN!

[He eagerly grabs the action figure and looks it over, grinning like an idiot.] This is so cool!

[anythingforgald]

[Ohhh, this is looking good.]

Isn't it?! They captured his... [Adlib, adlib!]... his regal bearing so perfectly! And... [Peering a little closer] Wow, look at those eyebrows.

[soaringblast]

[Anise wasn't really paying attention, much, she'd just arrived in this new world, and was looking oddly forlorn. The booming voice would have irritated her to no end and she was ready to scream at the person to shut the hell up, until she spotted all the merchandise, and one doll in particular. With a moment of hesitation, the pigtailed girl dashes over, and snatches a doll into her arms, searching her pockets for gald.

Now, anyone would probably guess that she nabbed an Ion or Jade doll, but oh no! Not this Anise. She's holding an Asch doll rather tightly, and won't be giving it up any time soon.]

H-How much is this?

[She didn't have that much gald on her, but...]

[anythingforgald]

[Hmmmm. Kid = not likely to have much gald, which kinda defeats the whole point. But this kid looks kinda down, which sort of does relate to the whole point. ... Well it's not like anyone she knows is around to see, right?! Rutee leans down to Anise level, smiling.]

This is a special once-in-a-lifetime sale... how about 15 gald?

[soaringblast]

[The young girl gasps and her smile is massive. That was so cheap! She dug out the correct amount and offered it to the older woman.]

Th-Thank you so much! [Anise now peers around, scanning the other merchandise as well. She was hugging that doll very tightly, as if she was afraid she's suddenly lose it.] Do you have any wing attachments? They have to be silver.

[Yes, she's saying that while still searching.]

[anythingforgald]

[Gald pocketed, no refunds! Now back to the conversation.]

Wings? I don't think so... [Ahhh, she's missing out on a chance to get a few extra coins from this kid! She's already let her off so lightly, too...! Rutee checks the table pretty thoroughly, but, alas...]

Maybe someone can make them for you?

[anythingforgald]

[Ohoho~ this one looks like another sucker! Profit~ profit~ ♫]

I dunno... [Looks Decus over, apparently unsure of what she's seeing...] I'm not sure you can afford it. Only the most devoted fans have that kind of gald.

[anythingforgald]

Any?! [Ahem! In that case...] 100,000 gald!

[allthatdies]

[Van takes his time, looking through the various wares, chuckling at the more amusing finds and raising a brow at the few...odd items. Is that a Cheagle doll wearing black leather? After a moment, he spots something that definitely catches his attention and picks up a fondisc.]

"Yulia's Greatest Hits"...? Where did you find something like this?

[anythingforgald]

[She turns to answer his question and WHOA IT'S THE EYEBROWS, fhjdks. After her initial surprise...!]

Ohh, I have connections~

[That sounds much better than 'in a box'.]

[allthatdies]

[Van raises a brow, giving the girl a suspicious look. Then he sighs and shakes his head.]

I'm sure...Do you have anything to play this on? To preview the, material, before I make my purchase.

[anythingforgald]

Are you saying you don't trust me?! This is a very legitimate business!
