    Strahd winces a little when the price is named, but he's got enough to cover it. Yay for extremely generous ghosts. "How long is the repairs gonna take?" He writes on the pad, after shelling out the cash.

    "Yes, an hour and a half."

    One hour, 29 minutes, and 59 seconds later, barring any complications...

    "...done! There you go, good as new!"

    And, what do you know, it is.

    This is the best thing that ever happened to them! They got off the hive-world, got to eat something that didn't taste like death, and now they have money! Woo! No matter how hard he is paying attention, Astra should be able to feel the elation rolling off his sister in waves.
    The ringing stops for a moment and Psi looks thoughtful. "Analyzing possibilities. Possibility number 1: Selling the bell. This would require Unit to engage in commerce. Unit is fully equipped to do so, but is currently only engaging in 'fundraising'. Overriding would be required.

    Accepted. Unit will engage in commerce."


    Psi turns the bell over to Essaila and takes the money. "Transaction completed."

    Essaila takes the bell gently, making sure not to jar it too much, and brings it back to where Astra was performing by the fountain.

    She drags her wok back with her, and sets the little bell on the side of the fountain. She raises the pan over her head and-

    *WHONG!*

    Smashes it a hard as she can, which happens to be very hard indeed. It should flatten, rendering it unusable. She'll pick the hunk of metal up and slide it into a garbage can nearby.

    Psi eyes the event curiously. "Subject appears to obtain pleasure from destroying purchased merchandise. Data successfully logged."

    She turns around and picks out a new bell from behind the stand. Then she starts ringing it with perfect Tempo. And she repeats the same thing she was saying before.

    "Our current endeavor requires more funds. Any source of income would be appreciated. Depositing funds will result in subject owning less funds and Unit owning more funds. Unit will not utilize said funds for personal use. All funds will be redirected to further finance the endeavor."

    Essaila quickly covers her ears, trying to block out the continued ringing of the bell and the bad memories it brings. Stupid stupid stupid, why did she think it would be that easy?

    Can we find a bag or something for all this stuff and go please? I don't want to spend money finding out just how many bells that crazy lady has on her.

    Essy wouldn't normally be against giving to the unfortunate, but when they're constantly assaulting her with noise it's another matter entirely.

    And, what do you know, it is.
    Gingerly picking up the tiny device, Strahd looks at it with a mix of revulsion and wonder. Ughh. Only, what, six, seven hours ago this little piece of metal was part of him, as much a part as any flesh and blood organ, stuck right in his neck and now he's holding it in his hands. Double ughh. Quickly dropping the gizmo into the vacuum sealing plastic bag he got from the hospital, Strahd tries to wipe away the non-existent blood on the front of his jacket, squicked out just from looking at the stupid thing.

    Picking the pen back up, he jots down a solitary "Thank you." followed after a short pause by a "I don't mean to be rude, but are you a robot?"

    "No. I am not a robot. I don't know what gave you that idea. It's kind of weird that so many people think that. Is there anything else I can do for you today?"

    Eliza begins to put away her workstation, but one hand freezes up and makes an odd clicking noise. After a moment, she shakes it out and continues like nothing happened.

    Even though the encounter in Mithar's Keep isn't technically over yet, Dorota returns, followed by Sizewell, who is carrying a large stack of books. Crissy, I'm back! She calls out as she heads to the employee-only area.

    Well, the fact that her hand randomly freezes up is rather odd, but Strahd's used to people with little quirks like that. Shaking his head, he departs from the store, making a mental note to send her a cake or something.

    Crissy, who happened to be sitting at the table finishing the beef stew, grins and jumps up, rushing over to greet Dorotha with a hug!
    "Hey what did you get I missed you!" she declares, all in one breath.

    Syela stands and waits for them to be done. Crissy certainly seems enthusiastic. The girl crosses her arms behind her back and tries to get a better look at Dorota for now.

    Dorota hugs Crissy back tightly, then she notices Syela.
    I picked up a lot of books that I wanted and met two very interesting people... but who's this? She says, looking at the girl. The alchemists looks like this:

    There's also a clay golem behind her, standing slightly below two meters and with runes and symbols on his joints and neck.

    Technoblins come into Mallside. (they are robotic goblins)

    They begin setting up a new store: Zaratech Corporations Front Store

    Inside it is filled with various inventions of both magic and technology combined together.

    The person manning the counter, is also a Technoblin, one named Dollar Nose.
    "I smell profits here alright. Wonder what customers we'll get in this strange mash-up world… will be interesting to say the least..."

    Not long after the store starts being set up, the group will find themselves approached by a a woman with a smart business suit, pink horns, and three tails. Grace appears quite professional and distressingly irate. "Excuse me, but what do you think you're doing?" She demands of the goblins.

    Syela is caught staring at the golem in utter amazement. Wooooow. She snaps out of it once she's addressed. "Nice to meet you. I was hoping you were looking for an apprentice. I've helped out an alchemist before, so I might already know a few things." Of course, that mostly consisted of collecting ingredients for the potions that the villagers were so fond of requesting every other day.

    "I suggest you start by removing everything you've set up, and taking it out of my mall." Grace says icily. "Once you've done that, if you are still interested in setting up shop here, then come speak to me, and hope I'm in a better mood, and that you've got a good proposal to make. I expect all of this to be gone in three hours- if it isn't, I'll have the security assist you out." She draws a business card out of her suit pocket, and extends it to the goblin. "If necessary, you can use the information on this card to contact me."

    He calls someone on his cell phone.
    "I want you to…..yea, the entire store….yup teleport us all out…..that place will be good….as soon as possible please…see ya."
    He put away the cell phone and looked back to Grace
    "You asked for the store to be gone in three hours. I have made sure it will be gone in three seconds. You now have three seconds to vacate the interior of the store before your teleported out along with the store. Pleasure meeting you, if you make it out in time."

    Grace doesn't even budge, though her expression gets colder, if that's even possible. When the store is teleported out, she completely fails to be teleported out with it. She does, however, walk out once everything is gone, double check to make sure the area is completely empty, then closes the shop front and heads to the food court to get some coffee.

    Grace will find someone moderately interesting sitting in the food court at the moment, sipping from coffee and picking at a cinnamon bun while she reads a novel.

    For the record, there is currently no fire surrounding her, and her wings are folded up against her back.

    Grace gives the woman a polite nod and a somewhat tense smile as she purchases a coffee and sandwich from Hansel's Bakery, then sits relatively nearby, where she can watch the people in the mall.

    Eventually the demonic young woman looks up from her book and glances around, and she looks almost surprised when she sees grace. She'll shove the rest of her cinnamon bun quickly down, washing it down with her extremely creamy coffee. A bookmark is placed into the novel and then put into her purse.

    After all this is done, she will go over to Grace, "Excuse me, may i speak with you a moment?"

    "Of course. What can I do for you, miss...?" Grace puts down her sandwich and offers the seat across from her with a gesture. She has a smile on her face, and while she is definitely striving for genuine politeness, she's probably lacking a bit of cheer at the moment.

    "My name is Integrity Vaulla, Mistr- er, Ma'am," The half-demon very nearly blundered into saying something she really shouldn't have, "I understand you... may be able to help a half-demon like me get a job? You are Grace, the owner of the mall, yes?"

    "Well, I can't hire for all the stores, of course, though there are a few things in the mall I own directly, and of course, there are jobs within the mall itself." Grace allows, picking up her coffee and taking a sip. "Is there a position you were considering?"
