[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.

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?

[beautifulrondo]

Wh-What?! No! I am not going to go into the streets naked!

[cowardly_hero]

Why, what's the problem?

[beautifulrondo]

Would you walk out with no fur?!

[cowardly_hero]

... that's a completely different thing.

[beautifulrondo]

It is the closest comparison I can think of!

[cowardly_hero]

Not even close...

[beautifulrondo]

Regardless of whether or not the comparison is apt, leaving the house in nothing is absolutely unacceptable!

[cowardly_hero]

Better than in some outdated cape!

[beautifulrondo]

No, it is not.

[cowardly_hero]

Is to!

[beautifulrondo]

It is not! A cape is perfectly stylish! You are just unable to appreciate it!

[cowardly_hero]

What's there to appreciate? You're draping a blanket over your back.

[beautifulrondo]

It is not a blanket. It is carefully styled to drape over one's shoulders in in just the perfect way.

[cowardly_hero]

Or just a blanket...

[beautifulrondo]

When I find one, I shall show you the difference myself. [and now he's just going to get one to try to prove Timon wrong not that showing Timon's going to help any argument at all, but Vyers likes to think it will]

[cowardly_hero]

W-what? No! Don't you even think of buying one.

No, Vyers. I said no!
