Raleigh's Emporium

[Raleigh]

And then my store reappeared. Who knew? *Raleigh's shop appears with him waiting behind the counter.* Hopefully people still need whatever objects they are looking for or artifact level tools for fun and disaster.

*A familiar eye-filled portal opens just in front of and above the door. An equally familiar woman leans out of it for a moment, smiles and winks, then holds down a pie in such a manner that anyone charging into the Emporium recklessly would rush right into it face-first.*

[Raleigh]

Well that should be interesting.

[AmbushCat]

*A distant stampede can be heard outside, growing louder as it approaches. The door flies open, Callista runs on through...*

Callista: Onward, to victory and merchan--- *SPLAT*

*...and face-first into the pie.*

Callista: GAH! What the---what in blazes?! COCONUT CREAM?! Ugh, for the love of---! *ragingly furious* That does it! I'm gonna grab a spade and plant me a gap-hag tree!

*And thus said, she jumps into the gap just before it fully closes.*

[Raleigh]

And now I'm less pleased because my first customer just got distracted.

[AmbushCat]

*A recognizable kitsune enters the shop normally, looking a bit stressed.*

Ran: Excuse me. You're Raleigh, correct?

[Raleigh]

Hello Ran-chan. Indeed, that is what they call me.

[AmbushCat]

Ran: Yes. Um... well, it's just that I feel the need to apologize for Yukari-sama's behavior. She's been agitating that girl for almost six years now, and I heard that Miss Calli's been a boon to your business in the past...

[Raleigh]

Aye, she is one of our most valued customers. I understand Yukari's position on some levels as boredom does set in once someone lives long enough however I would appreciate it if she doesn't distract my possible revenue streams.

[AmbushCat]

Ran: *bows* Alright, I'll let her know what you said at my earliest convenience. I can't guarantee that she'll stop altogether, but I should be able to at least keep her from interfering with your business ventures.

[Raleigh]

Thank you. Need to pick anything up while you are here? Food or some rather comfy bedding for your boss so she can nap longer?

[AmbushCat]

Ran: That sounds... rather appealing, really. *smiles* Maybe I can get a gift for Chen while I'm here, too.

[Raleigh]

Feel free to look around. The bedding and cushions and such are on aisle 7 and food is in aisles 11 through 4,702.

[AmbushCat]

Ran: Much obliged. Do you have any pre-fried tofu in stock?

[Raleigh]

Aye, quite a range of varieties too. Check aisle 72 I believe. As for gifts for Chen we most likely do have a lot of things that would qualify.
