Little Shoppe of Wonders
By: Reif Date: November 8, 2011, 11:52 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Come to me little ones, let me tell you a story of a place
filled with everything, books, weapons, candies, anything your
heart desires. But a word of caution my friends, everything you
take has a price. No, no, no put away your coin and bills. Those
mean nothing here, this price is not of material but rather
immaterial. Every price gets paid even if you steal.
From this shoppe everything can be taken, and if you take it
without an agreement. Than the shoppe will eventually get back
that which was taken. Because here there are no rules, there is
no trickery and finally there is no thievery.

A yawn passes through Erathorn's lips as he stretches getting
the kinks out of his back. "A few more days laying on that thing
and my back will be more sore than...well something" he stands
up before sitting back down on the chair behind the cash
register. He flips through some pages of his magazine before
slipping it over his head yawning despite having just woken up.
"I don't get why I even bother trying to keep this place open.
No one even comes here anymore" he pulls his feet up resting
them on the cash register which was empty. Not out of lack of
customers...but rather just the type of currency this store ran
on. "I need to find myself a real job soon"

A quiet day of wandering, a smile upon the angel's delicate
features, such an inviting and shining gesture that it took a
great amount of willpower for one not to return such a gesture.
Her heart was light and her chest no longer ached, exhaustion no
longer plagued her being, her worrisome thoughts and eternal
thoughts of loneliness existed nevermore, she was happy. The
ends of a whitened, Victorian era dress dragged to her heels,
hands clasped in front of her lap, whitened locks dancing along
the planes of her sweet visage as she walked, simply wandering,
simply enjoying the new life she was given. It was then that
she found the tiny shop, no line, no customers, just simply
there in all it's homey magnificence. Such a thing made her
smile warmly and slightly kindlier, a strange intrigue bringing
itself from the depths of her chest as she made the gesture to
knock on the door, small knuckles of an angel at this shop's
doorstep as she awaited to see if anyone would answer her knock,
the tiny gifts and trinkets in the tiny shop window already
intriguing her further. It was just her taste.

"Welcome to the shoppe of wonders if we don't have what you
want....well than you clearly don't want it" another yawn passes
through his lips "as this store has everything anyone wants" he
reaches for his cane walking over to open the door. Which he
honestly didn't want to do. Right now all he wanted to do was go
back to sleep. However he knew that if he should do that the
store would wake him up anyway as this person wanted inside the
store. "My name is Erathorn and I'm the owner of this shoppe. "
he takes off his hat making it appear on the hat rack nearby.
"So what brings you to this store? Long lost love, a jewel,
some antique?" he continues on for a bit before falling asleep
while standing up.

Blue orbs were covered briefly by a quick flash of blinks as the
man answered with a recited greeting, her lips parted as if to
say something before he had already fallen asleep. Unsure of
what to do, the white-clad woman stood both in the doorway and
halfway outside, contemplating leaving the man to his rest or
just walking in anyways. It was with a slight decision that she
made the gesture, gently prodding at his left arm with a light
tap of her index finger, her words pouring from her lips in a
glittering symphony. "I was just planning on looking around, if
you don't mind, Sir. You can lay back down, if you want. I
assure you, I won't take anything." Eri smiled with all her
light-hearted nature and good intentions. Why would she ever
need to steal? She had everything she ever needed, a lucky
person filled with bliss, just like an Angel visiting Earth.

As he feels someone touching him he wakes up "Ahh....than if you
have everything you'd ever want than why would my store appear
before you?" this question was always asked to those who doubted
the power of his store. He waves her on as if telling her to
just look around. "By the way...there is no way you can steal
from my store...we don't deal in cash. We deal in deals so even
if you were to take something from here. A deal would be struck
the moment you left my store. Enjoy you're browsing" he goes
back behind the desk flipping through the pages of a magazine
that like him was a bit too old to be used.

He had a good point, why would she even be around stores and
such if she already had everything she wanted? It was
odd...yet, she nodded all the same and as he retreated back to
his post, she delved into the depths of the shop, pondering the
glittering commodities upon every shelf. Now, of course all of
this stuff was nice and delightful to look at, especially the
toys which she had taken a few short moments to tinker with,
setting the small robot against the flat floor to watch it walk
while she giggled gently, softly scooping it within the tender
palms of her hands to put him back within his place with a
delightful pat upon his head, walking further along the shelves
with a tender gaze and curious query. "Excuse me, Sir Erathorn,
this is an interesting shop here. How long has this place been
here?" She peeked around the corner of one of his shelves, a
blackened hat in both her hands as she placed the object on her
head for a moment before setting it back, the whole lecture
upon, "Your eyes are in your head, not your hands" never quite
one of her favorites, her mentality to shopping much like a
child's. If she fancied something, she touched it, that was just
how it went.

"How long has this shoppe been around? Well that's a very good
question. Every time one of it's owners dies it chooses a new
one. As far as I'm aware this shoppe has been around for eons
maybe since even before recorded history. But always it's had an
owner, and always it's contained that which is most precious a
persons heart. Like I keep telling people if it's not amongst
the shelves than you clearly do not want it." he gets up walking
to the front of the store flipping the sign to occupied. "The
thing is there is only allowed one customer at a time. That way
the store can figure out what a persons heart truly wants" the
noise of his cane against the floor boards allowing people to
know where it was he was. However this time he believed this
woman would be one of the first to honestly walk out without
something.

"That sounds...kinda sad." The woman frowned, a genuine show of
her sympathy as she wandered further through the isles,
listening to the consistent click of his cane upon the floor
almost systematically, her voice pouring through the isles with
the swish of her skirts following behind her. "Have you ever
wanted to go out and do something else though? I mean, other
than owning this store?" She pondered out loud before stopping
by a stack of ribbons she had found, eyeing a particular scarlet
shaded slip of satin that made her gaze soften in nostalgia, her
fingers running over the material. Goo, her beloved kitten given
to her by a friend she hadn't seen in ages, had stayed with that
friend...she missed her animal companion and his soft, sleek
black fur and his gentle, tumbling purrs. "I'd hate to be stuck
doing something for the rest of my life..."

"Ahh, but I am free to leave. As long as I return, if I leave
the shoppe for more than a few days it vanishes. So the answer
is simple. Yes I'd love to leave and lead a normal life. But if
I do than the store vanishes until I die preventing people from
having their dreams fulfilled. I remember every customer who
comes in. One time the store appeared in the middle of a
wedding. The groom thought he lost the ring. But the store knew
where it was, it picked it up and made me take it to them"
Erathorn sits back in his chair. "So as long as the store needs
me and I need it we are together"
