WHO: Eda Clawthorne, the internet
WHERE: This here Libra App
WHEN: right here right now
WHAT: capitalism baybey
WARNINGS: Uh. Eda?

[ A woman in her forties with huge gray hair is standing in a dim, musty room. The walls and furniture are full of owl-themed décor, and there are all sorts of wildly assorted trinkets everywhere. Everywhere. Barely an in uncovered.

Eda grins into the camera. ]

Well, since it seems I cannot delete this app [ and she does not sound happy about this ] might as well use it!

Let me introduce you to The Owlery, your one-stop shop for everything odd and peculiar! Need a truly unique gift? [ The camera pans to a shelf with all sorts of small statues, bird skulls, a tea set made to look like jeans, and other such curiosities. ] If you don't find something here, no one can help you. Interested in the occult? [ Now we pan to a small, paisley-cloth-covered table with different tarot sets displayed. One of them is raccoon-themed. ] Our assortment is sure to satisfy you! Got an obscure collection going? [ Another shelf with odd and ends. ] Get new additions here!

[ The camera returns to Eda's face. ]

And if you can't find what you're looking for, which I highly doubt, you can always place an order with me. Always happy to have you at The Owlery!

(OOC: So Hunter and Luz might notice she looks a little... different. That is, human. Her ears are round, both her eyes are more of a brownish-golden hue and her fang is normal-human-tooth-sized, only peeking out when she speaks.)

...you know. Why the fuck weren't you on this app sooner?

[traaaaaash]

I just got it today! Or it got me. However you wanna put it.

[Just. What is going on today. First Luz, and now the Owl Lady. Hunter is already still having a bad time recovering from his brief foray back to the Boiling Isles, and now he has two huge thorns in his side that he has to deal with.

Great. Great.]

Are these portals only bringing criminals here now? Wh -

[Aaand then he freezes as something catches his eye.]

What's wrong with your ears?

[traaaaaash]

Uhm, excuse me, I'm an honest citizen!

[ She is not but you're not supposed to know that. ]

... my ears?

Voice; un: hikari-vi

[whiteshroud]

Haha, I was wondering if you'd ever get the app!

[traaaaaash]

Well, here I am. Congratulations.

[How has she never heard of this before? The screen shows a brown-haired teen staring at the camera, eyes wide.]

Look! [She says it in a sort of hooting voice herself, before holding it up, showing a pair of owls on a perch also gazing at it. They lean forward, the smaller one giving off her own curious hoots. She hoots back excitedly, while a strange weasel creature crawls up to also look at the screen and see what has his siblings so excited.]

[traaaaaash]

[ Eda blinks at the creatures. ]

Looks like you got a whole petting zoo there.

[soundtest]

[Oh thank god, it's the owner of The Owlery. Eda might have seen Napstablook in her store before. But they have a small problem they need to get rid of...]

d-do you take things that are strange...?

[They got a monkey's paw and it's creeping them out and they want rid of it.]

[traaaaaash]

Depends. Is it valuable?

Voice; un: antonio

[speaksanimal]

Is that what is it like in there?

I always wanted to go and see what The Owlery was like! But my parent said it was a really scary place and I shouldn't be allowed to go.

[traaaaaash]

Well, maybe your parent can come in and have a look and then decide.

Oh hey, it's you! The lady with the weird shop!

[The lady with the weird shop. Bruno is just gonna be here continuing to be the best people-ing. ]

I guess a lot of people are getting the app lately? Maybe Zodiac's...expanding their range or something? Trying to get more people to nearly kill themselves going on their missions.

[traaaaaash]

Yep, that's me, weird shop lady!

[ It's cool, she owns her weirdness. In fact, she wears the title with pride. ]

Something like that, huh? Whatever it is, they're up to no good.

[findingways]

Oh hey, I've passed by that shop before! So you're the owner, huh?

[traaaaaash]

I sure am! Interested? Don't be afraid to have a look next time you come by!

[crystallinememories]

[Oh hey, that's... actually helpful without being worrying for once! He really needs to get out from his university more.]

Do you carry spell and enchantment ingredients?

[traaaaaash]

sure do. come by and ask me in person.

not here

[magicmusic]

[This app is weird and new and they don't know why it's suddenly on their phone. But one look at it and

Oh boy.

They.... are not prepared for this conversation.

✔️ Read.]

[Well, it's easy to identify this guy as someone who's started popping into The Owlery pretty frequently, considering the headband and facial markings are a bit unique for people around Kaisou.

Caesar chuckles as he rests his chin against one hand.]

You know, that reminds me, I do have some gift shopping to do soon. I'll have to stop by.

[traaaaaash]

[ Indeed, she does recognize him. Eda grins back. ]

Always happy to serve a returning customer!

[Pepa is still learning how to navigate the app and it's features. She's finally discovered the video chat feature and she's eager to try it out.]

You have many... interesting things for sale. What sort of shop is it you run?

[traaaaaash]

Exactly what I just said! The place where you find all the stuff you can't get anywhere else.

[ She pans the camera on... well. this. ]

Care for some unusual taxidermy?

[ Do you see the stars in Alberto's eyes? Because he is dazzled. The ear-to-ear smile he's wearing is not coming off this kid's face any time soon. ]

That is the coolest shop I've ever seen...!

[ She's making an impact on the Youths... ]

[traaaaaash]

Ah, I see you have taste!

[ AND SHE'S PROUD OF IT ]

[thaumewturge]

What about odd books? Of any sort, really, covering any topic so long as they're not cursed.

[traaaaaash]

Oh yeah, I got some books lying around here. Can't guarantee they're not cursed, though.
