Raleigh's Emporium

[AmbushCat]

Ran: *pleased smile* Very much obliged.

*Ran bows, then walks off and ventures into the aisles.*

[Raleigh]

Always happy to be of service.

[AmbushCat]

*Ran is gone for a good while. If the pleased noises that echo back to the front of the Emporium are any indication, she's impressed with the selection and the content of which.*

[Raleigh]

*Smirks and waits to see what Ran or anyone else will purchase.*

If the store has a store phone, it rings. If not...well, I dunno, I guess someone tried to call a phone that doesn't exist and is getting one of those messages informing them of such.

[Raleigh]

*Answers the phone that was hidden until just that moment.* Yes, how might we help you?

[Whatevr89532]

"Hello. Bus-iness speaking. Is this Ral-eigh?" The voice and intonation is the same as that of the cloaked figure which ran the 'MEGA DISCOUNT STORE'.

[Raleigh]

Indeed. This is the entity currently going by that nomenclature. How can I help you Bus-iness?

"We are con-sidering opening some branches in the uni-verse known as Muffin-ville. Initial scout-ing suggests you are an ent-ity capable of severely hinder-ing general profit-ability, and we pre-fer to avoid step-ping on the toes of such. If you have Con-straints you wish to im-pose on our business local to said un-iverse, we are willing to take them on." Something about the way it says 'Constraints' makes it seem like it's a capitalized word.

[Raleigh]

*Smiles at the proper capitalization.* So long as anything you sell will not alter the prices or stock within my store I am fine with you operating however you want. If you need any stock for your shop, I'd be happy to offer you a discount for the supplies in fact.

[Whatevr89532]

"That is very gen-erous of you." Despite being a robotic voice with basically no intonation, the voice on the other end of the line still sounds impressed/happy with the offer. "Multi-versal export is more expen-sive than inter-nal trading. Some of our omni-versal coupons were sold during a scouting mission, but we normally re-fund double any losses from those to local store-owners re-gardless to sow good rela-tions. Any future such sales will in-clude a disclaimer of exclusion for your stores."

[Raleigh]

Thank you. Any particular items you are having trouble acquiring currently?

[Whatevr89532]

"We are merely in the pre-liminary planning stages at the moment. Our first endea-vor is pro-jected to be a gro-cery store, so we may place an order for some local pro-duce once a few oth-er things are in place."

[Raleigh]

Alright. Just let me know if and when you need something and I'll try and help you get it.

[Whatevr89532]

"Thank you. We will contact you at this num-ber, unless another meth-od of communication is more con-venient for you?"
