Meet and Greet [shopping intro]

[yaycapitalism]

Whilst the four still tied to a school had been up since that morning, warned only at the last minute about the incoming train, Recette had managed to sleep in and avoid the panic. In fact, the first hint she got that all was not as it had been was the Mayor paying her a visit near midday and inviting her to watch the arrivals. She had; she'd exclaimed over the variety and how many new friends they were going to have now - it had been a little lonely that week, with just six of them who weren't parts of the city instead of people - and then she hurried back to get her shop open.

So! The sign proclaims RAKETTE: OFFICIAL EXACLAN SHOP, and the entire facade is covered in a fresh coat of bright paint. The snow in front of the shop has been swept away, making it highly obvious on the street. Items are arrayed on shelves and in the windows of the shop - charms, foodstuffs, uniforms and sundry items of clothing. She hadn't really had any idea what the new people might like when she was setting up, so most of it is just leftover stock from their session, but maybe they'd find something they liked. She hopes so. There are a fair few jumpers, hoodies, coats and scarves on the tables inside the shop.

The interior sorted, she sets the sign out in the road: WELCOME TO RAKUEN! FREE WALNUT BREAD FOR NEW STUDENTS AND TEACHERS! SPECIAL OFFER: PDAs ONLY 8 RAKS. and waits for someone to enter the main street.

[ oh noooooo. :( she hates letting customers down, but they really are too expensive... ]

I-is there something you really wanted? I can't sell you a memory for such a low price, but maybe a ring...

[traces]

[ Well, well. What an easily-manipulable person to be in charge of the official shop. Dahlia looks up quickly. ]

I-I'd been considering, um, whether I'd rather have a ring or a PDA... B-but I couldn't take advantage of your generosity like that. It wouldn't be proper! I-I...

[yaycapitalism]

[ RALLIES FOR THE SAKE OF THIS NICE GIRL! ]

It's your first day, so that means you can have a super-duper discount! Recette's orders. Let's see... if I make the ring twelve raks... then you can have both! [ yay look how she cleverly solved the problem ]

[traces]

[ What a rip-off! Wasting all of her money on just these two things, and on her first day, too? But Dahlia knows she's already pushing it; if she tries any harder, it might become obvious what she's trying to do.

She gasps in surprise, before letting a small smile cross her face. ] R-Recette... I don't know what to say. You... You're far too kind! Thank you so very much!

[yaycapitalism]

[ Yayifications! she bounces on her heels a little at the smile she's being given. ] I'll get them for you now! [ back to the counter! ]

[traces]

[ Dahlia smirks for a second when Recette turns her back, but quickly readjusts back to her soft, gentle smile. She approaches the counter and pulls the two coins from her pocket. ]

I'm ever so grateful. I--I'm in your debt, Recette. Please, if there's ever anything I can do to help you...

[yaycapitalism]

It's enough to have you as my customer! [and Dahlia gets her number, too, when she exchanges the coins for her PDA and a blank power ring in a cute little bag.

[traces]

[ Oh how convenient. C: Dahlia will just have to keep that handy~ She takes the bag and holds it close to her chest. ]

Then... I'll come back as soon as I'm able to. I-I don't want to have to fight anyone, but if it means being able to buy more things from you, then I suppose I must.

[yaycapitalism]

Aww, thank you! Come back anytime!

[traces]

[ She nods, grinning brilliantly, and turns to leave. ]

I'll stop monopolizing your time. Thank you, again! I'll see you later, I hope!
