[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.

Trust me, whatever she's selling, you don't want it.

[beautifulrondo]

What do you mean?

[cowardly_hero]

Have you seen her track record?

[beautifulrondo]

Well there is that... But I thought that as long as I stay away from the potions I should be fine.

[cowardly_hero]

Don't say I didn't tell you so.

You weren't thinking something in there might help you with...?

[beautifulrondo]

No. To be honest I am only curious. ...But if I do find something I do not think it would be wise to leave it there.

[cowardly_hero]

When have you ever made wise decisions?

[beautifulrondo]

I have made plenty in the past!

[cowardly_hero]

Name three.

[beautifulrondo]

Sealing Baal, working with the Seraph, and wearing a cape as part of my ensemble when I was king. [Man he misses that cape]

[cowardly_hero]

A cape? Seriously?

... Who the heck wears a cap anymore?

[beautifulrondo]

What is wrong with wearing a cape?

[cowardly_hero]

That went out of style in '04. [Do not ask how he knows this... he just does.]

[beautifulrondo]

[Vyers knows better than to question the ways in which the fourth wall breaks]

That does not necessarily mean that it shall never come back in. It just means that it might come back in '11.

[cowardly_hero]

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?]
