the shopping bag ladies
WHO: Lucy Westenra and Yasuho Hirose
WHERE: Undertown
WHEN: some nebulous point in April!
WHAT: the girls are tracking down a cursed bag for a side quest. this will surely go well.
WARNINGS: probably none! will edit if this changes.
[How hard could it be, Lucy had reasoned when she’d taken on this job, to find a cursed, sentient bag somewhere in Undertown?
She should not have jinxed them like that, she realizes this now. Luckily, they don’t have to find all the cursed bags, just one. Unluckily, tracking it down is trying even Lucy’s patience, and by the time they get to Corvus’s TechBoi Empire she looks up at the sign and lets out just the biggest sigh.]
Must we go in there? [The look on her face as she listens on her borrowed cat-ear headphones says she already knows they will.]

Second- How do you BUY an avatar in a store!?!
Third- Oh god, that's what they were looking at.
And it is at that point that Yasuho steps around the corner to stare directly at the Super Cool Avatar on display, while Paisley slowly creeps up to try and get a better angle at the bag.
While the pink being's eye narrows at zipper-mouths, Yasuho just.
Stares.]
...I think I already found it...it's....very expensive...
And worth every penny! Lookatit- it's the latest! The greatest!
It's a mark of prestige, it's hard to understand I know, but this? It's one of a kind, and it'll only be ours!
[Yasuho just. Keeps staring.]
...It's a picture of...a cat on a napkin?
That no one else will have.
The fame! The clout!

I'm not sure it ought to be worth so much money.
Hey, radio lady, you just don't understand the kind of prestige having this one-of-a-kind cat could bring you!
Relax, man, she's a radio host, you can't expect her to know these things. [Lucy's fingers twitch briefly, sparks coming off her fingers, but she breathes in, then out, getting a hold of herself.]
Well. There could be a problem with that. [She gives both the bag and the tech bro her most innocent look, before she says:] It's on display, right? Anyone could take a picture of it, and make a copy. If the value lies in its being one of a kind, I don't believe it will be so valuable tomorrow. Right, Yasuho?

As much as her hands tuck behind her back though, Paisley is in full view with the phone in her hands.]
It's true, I'm doing it right now.
[Paisley beeps.
And snaps the picture.]
A quick run through photoshop, and no one would realize it's not the original...
WH- But you can-
[The man is speechless.
...And...so is the bag? That's-]
Toby!!! Toby, don't turn me away man, I need to see that again- Toby!!
Woah...so pink...and she's covered in maps...
[Paisley's beeping takes a distinctively uncertain tone to it.]
Toby, turn me around, I gotta see the beauty!!
[Yasuho meanwhile just feels like she's having her privacy invaded somehow. That's. That's her soul!!! Hey!]
