Sixth Piece of Eight [Action]

[fightlikeacow]

[At the crossroads near Houses 16 and 27, a small, less-than sturdy kiosk has gone up. It has a big sign which says "Threepwood's Previously Owned Souvenir Emporium". It's full of random objects such as a large stack of books, bottles of alcohol, sets of silverware, a leather jacket, a coffin, and a single porcelain urn which is placed in a corner

[Terra's passing by, needing a break after all that flute practice.]

[fightlikeacow]

Howdy, friend! I have got some great deals for you today!

[esper_flight]

[She pauses, curious.]

...you do? Like what?

[fightlikeacow]

[Talking fast, and gesturing with every word (Imitating, Stan) he picks up a nearby book.]

Looking at you, I can tell you're an intelligent person, and an intelligent person like you must have the most discerning tastes in reading material. Now, I have for you, one copy of The Joy of Hex, the standard in Voodoo recipe books. Someone borrow money from you and then kick the bucket? Need to get revenge against high school bullies? Having guests over and need refreshments? This book has all the answers!

[Always on the lookout for inspiration, Kazuma is in ur shop, browsing ur stuff. Currently, he's near the porcelain urn, slowly circling around it, viewing it from all perspectives]

[Guybrush starts talking fast, and gesturing with every word, imitating Stan]

I knew it from the moment I saw you. I said to myself "Threepwood, this is a man in need of an urn." This is a high-quality, all-purpose urn, perfect for a bouquet of flowers or a dead family member. And best of all, it's durable. You can drop this thing from a second story window without so much as a crack.

[screw_the_rules]

[Wow, this guy talks almost as fast as Cougar! Kazuma listens, trying to follow the sales pitch and nodding in the appropriate places.]

Yeah? Sounds like quite an urn. Hn. Could come in handy, I guess.

[fightlikeacow]

Great! And it just happens to be on sale today for the low, low price of fifty pieces of eight!

[throwshammers]

[She passes by and is suddenly distracted by the urn.]

...What a pretty vase...

[fightlikeacow]

[Talking fast and gesturing with every word, imitating Stan]

Pretty and practical, my friend. This vase will hold anything. Flowers, water, cookies. You name it, this vase will hold it.

[mikangirl]

[Sup, Guybrush. Nami is going to pause by your stall during her patrol. Beware the baseball cap that says MARINES and the shotgun slung over her shoulder.]

Previously Owned Souvenirs?

[fightlikeacow]

Yeah. There were owned by the shops and the bar and the library. So they're previously owned.

[mikangirl]

What? They were stolen? [But she likes you, Guybrush! She doesn't want to have to arrest you! D:]

[fightlikeacow]

Er... "Stolen" is such a vague word. I mean, the shops just give stuff away so can you really steal from them? [Of course, he's conveniently ignoring the library...]

[poppetry]

[ WHY HAS EVERYONE GONE SO CRAZY. Xion has to come over to the kiosk and see what's going on here. ]

Um, Guybrush? What's this for?

[fightlikeacow]

I just opened up a souvenir shop. Take a look around. See if you find anything you like.

[poppetry]

But why would you...? Oh, wait, I guess it's affecting you too...

[ hey what's that thing. points at the coffin. are we talking a full-size honest-to-god coffin here, by the way? ]

What's that?

[fightlikeacow]

[Yeah, a full-sized coffin. Guybrush is about to ask what she means, but he forgets all about that when she shows interest in the coffin. He gins talking really fast, gesturing with every word, imitating Stan]

You have a good eye for quality, my friend. That is a mahogany, satin-lined coffin. Family member dying and you want to get a jump on things? Then this coffin is right for you!
