Who: Shelly and anyone
Where: Lower District → Middle District
When: Afternoon
Style: Either
Status: Open

[Early in the afternoon, Shelly heads down to the lower district as a continuation of a long due exploration. While she's at it, perhaps she can see how effective products from the Nostalgia Nook are. Given the epidemic a while back, how about, say, a panacea for a test run?

The Great Lamufao has other things in mind, apparently, and Shelly stares long and hard at what she just accidentally spent her tokens on.]

. . . You're kidding me. You're giving me that?

[So Shelly returns to the Middle District with a whole new(?) pancreas of her own. Some deity, couldn't it have given it to her in a jar or something? She's going to need new gloves -- not to mention the smell.

But not now. Not when she looks out and one modest building catches her eyes. Peering over the potted plants through the window, she hums.]

A salon . . .

Comments

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . You strike me as the type to always be suspicious.

[aspiring]

Jumping to conclusions about me already! I'm offended.

But it's best to play it safe. ♥

[ex_diplomacy861]

You did, after all, jump to conclusions regarding the organ.

But I like how you think.

[It's funny to watch. Jsyk, kid.]

[aspiring]

Touché.

... I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult though.

[oh shut up]

[ex_diplomacy861]

No? . . . It's up to you.

[do you trust that smile]

[aspiring]

[no]

Then I think I'll take it as an insult coming from you, though I have no idea why you'd have problems with how I think. ♥

[ex_diplomacy861]

[She laughs.]

You're a very touchy one.

So do you work here?

[aspiring]

In a manner of speaking.

[ex_diplomacy861]

What's that supposed to mean?

You seem young . . . but anyone can be anything these days.

[aspiring]

I work here in the manner of speaking that I own this place.

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . oh? That's interesting.

I should like to drop by once in a while.

[aspiring]

You're free to anytime!

... Preferably not carrying organs with you.

[ex_diplomacy861]

[She chuckles.]

Don't worry. I'll leave it at home. I doubt it'll make for a good payment.

[aspiring]

Good, because I'm afraid I don't accept payment in organs.

[ex_diplomacy861]

Do you take payment of any other kind?

[aspiring]

Actually, payment isn't really needed. Not like money means much here, and I don't need anything from the Nostalgia Nook.

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . so it's more like a hobby than anything else. Do you like to cut hair?

... crying

[aspiring]

[He rolls his eyes.]

It's been my passion for years and my career back home, so I would hope so!

you are so cute.

[ex_diplomacy861]

. . . ah. How nice it is to hear that. Not everyone pursues their passion, you know, and you even made a career out of it.

So you must be passable with it, at the least.

shhhhh.

[aspiring]

Ahaha... I would hope that I'm more than passable, miss!

[ex_diplomacy861]

As would I. I trust you don't disappoint your clients?

[aspiring]

I wouldn't have gotten this far if I did.

[ex_diplomacy861]

Good words. Now I'll really have to drop by at some time.

[aspiring]

You're welcome anytime.
