what's this about a market?

oho~? things are getting mighty interesting ✩

Just what are you expecting from this reunion...?

Ohh, we match now!

Who, me~?

( Ugh, not that I'm happy about it. But I've got to protect my stock. )

Good morning! Operations at the stand will continue as usual today, but may close early due to outside circumstances...~

[ a new array of trinkets, bits and baubles is displayed. There's jewelry, small ceramic figures, and even a few treasures to behold! ]

Go, go, my little djinns! Bring potential customers to my stand... ✨

[ brushing down her fur. It's sticking up! ]

Ggh— something's going down soon, and it'll be bad for business... Operations will go on as scheduled today, but I'll be on guard.

Another day, another dollar! Huhu~

Good morning ✨

That's true! Perhaps calling in a favor won't be so bad if I'm in a pinch. I'll make an exception, depending on what it is you're interested in purchasing.

I suppose I couldn't give you a riddle to solve to prove yourself.... Just kidding! Unfortunately I'm afraid I don't have work for you at the moment. I'd maybe offer you to be security detail, but this is just a table with a blanket on it.

[ without missing a beat, ] You've got yourself a deal.

Earrings, earrings... ah! Yes, I've got this lovely set of gold earrings. They've got a red jewel hanging in the middle that compliments your hair.

Hmm... it depends on how reliable you are. I usually deal in tangible goods, so my preferred payment is tangible as well. Taking a risk like that could cost me... But I'm feeling generous today. What sort of work do you do?

Various trinkets, knickknacks, and the like! There's some handmade jewelry too.

Mm? I'm afraid I don't understand your request, it's lacking a certain luster. I take cash, card, QP, quartz, gold... treasure, and such.

Shoo, shoo! You're scaring my potential customers!

My ears are burning! And it's not the sun~ I wonder, are people gossiping about me~?

[ has a little stand set up on the beach. the table is littered in little trinkets. ]

Fun fact! "She sells sea shells by the sea shore" was actually written about me! ✩
