[Minako's seated herself on the edge of a food court table, blankly watching all the aliens walk/slither/float by as music blasts from her earphones. That can't be good for her hearing. An motherly looking alien in an apron approaches her with a tray of... things.]
Excuse me dear-
[Minako continues staring at the crowds.]
-How would you like to try a free sample? Lady Lardworth's newest creation, the hurkguffin!
[Now she's humming along with the melody. The alien still hasn't realized Minako isn't paying attention.]
Made of 103 different ingredients, the hurkguffin's name was based off our taste testers' most common reaction to this scrumptious pastry! Today only, we're giving the first 50 loiterers a special discount! After trying the hurkguffin, they can then purchase 12 additional ones for the low low price of 3000 credits! Come on, you know you want a piping hot one!
[You get the idea. The alien waits, smiling brilliantly, before slowly frowning.]
Miss?
[It pokes Minako in the head. Minako blinks and looks at the alien. She doesn't bother to take her headphones off.]
... Huh?
[Isn't she eloquent? The alien looks less than happy that its sales pitch was ignored.]
