[she starts with a sigh] This is what I get for focusing on my own problems...

We have a lot of new people under these domes, so it's time for me to re-advertise my little shop, "New Hope." Even now, you may find yourself getting the cold shoulder from the townspeople and the merchants, so I'll supply you with what you need, for a smaller fee than you'd get elsewhere. Whatever you can afford, really. I have to pay the gypsies something... You can find it across the street from The Cheap Prayer. Just ring the bell at the counter.

As for Shantotto's curse, if anyone's interested in helping me break it before it gets way out of hand, I could use the help. She's a clever little sorceress and even my magic isn't enough to counter it...so if any spellcasters out there would like a puzzle to unravel, do let me know.

Don't kid yourself. Capes ain't comin' back any time soon.

[beautifulrondo]

Hmph. You only believe that because you are not as acquainted with demonic fashion as myself.

[cowardly_hero]

I don't have to be to know that capes are out of style.

[beautifulrondo]

Well, capes come into fashion more often in the Netherworld. [does he know that for sure? Nope. But he wants to defend the honor of his poor, lost cape]

[cowardly_hero]

Really?

[beautifulrondo]

Yes, they do.

[cowardly_hero]

None of the other demons here do.

[beautifulrondo]

Of course not. The majority of them are children. It is more common among adults.

[cowardly_hero]

I don't believe you.

[beautifulrondo]

How many adult demons have you seen?

[cowardly_hero]

Enough. [Two, maybe?]

[beautifulrondo]

Hmph! Now I do not believe you.

[cowardly_hero]

Ah, you never to anyway.

[beautifulrondo]

Perhaps I shall see if she does happen to have any capes in stock. Then I shall prove its worth to you through my own wonderful sense of style.

[cowardly_hero]

Don't even think about it. If you come home wearin' some goofy cape...!

[beautifulrondo]

It is not going to be "goofy," and it is my choice to wear what I wish besides.

[cowardly_hero]

Not when you're around me.

[beautifulrondo]

Why would that make any difference?

[cowardly_hero]

I have a cape free reputation.

[beautifulrondo]

No one is forcing you to wear one.

[cowardly_hero]

I refuse to be seen by someone wearing one.

[beautifulrondo]

There is nothing wrong with wearing a cape!

[cowardly_hero]

That's like saying there's nothing wrong with wearing white after Labor Day.

[beautifulrondo]

I believe that particular fashion concept applies only to humans.

[cowardly_hero]

Ugh...

Can't you all just go without close like every other animal?
