Welcome to Gaia! ::

As you walk in, you notice what looks to be an old style Victorian store. On one side, there are many baubles, rings, necklaces and other jewelry that hums in glass cases, and other items you can just feel magic emanating from. On the other side is a dining hall. In the middle, a man works the counter. He looks to be 15, and has a pleasant smile on his face. His red eyes look you up and down, before he leans on his arm and says, "Welcome to the Curious Store of Curiosities. I'm Ouji Saiyaku, may I help you with something?"

"Hello. How may I help you today? We have a dining hall, if you wish for some exotic food, I have a gift shop in the corner, with all sorts of enchanted baubles," Ouji jestures at a corner, "Or, if you're here for business, I have anything you need in the back." Ouji said, smiling at the girl. He tilted his head when he noticed the ears. "Ahh, a, neko? Just a rough guess." He said good naturedly.

Ouji noticed the person waiting for his attention, so he smiled and walked over. "Hello, welcome to the Curious Store of Numerous Curiosities. May I help you find something?" He asked in a friendly voice.

At this news Ouji turned excited. "Why sure! We've almost always got a spot open for someone who needs it. We close for 12 hours during the night. For the second 6 hours, you can manage, and for the first I will. I'll most likely check in every two hours or so. Your pay can start out at...uh...how about a fourth of the stores income for the week? I'll pay you every week.

"Hmm, the second half is already almost over...so how about tomorrow? For now, I can just give you an introduction." He said, cheerily.

"Okay, to your left is the dining area." Ouji said, sweeping his arm to his right. "This is where anyone may enjoy the foods from up top. Or if they're in the mood for something they've NEVER tried before. When they place their order, the kitchen automatically starts cooking it. All you've gotta do is when you hear a "ding" go back and serve the food." Then he gestured to the counter in front of him. "This is the souvenir stand, where people can get a variety of intricate items. From whistles that whistle on their own, to ACME hammers that have punching gloves. All of that fun stuff." Then he gestured to his left, sobering up a little. "To your right, is the enchanted items section. It has anything that'll make life a bit easier. You've got two categories of items. Combat items, such as enchanted swords, spear, etc., and household items. Such as spinning wheels that have an infinite supply of thread, or a mug that never gets empty." He said, almost out of breath he explained it so fast. "Well, I should be closing up now. I'll see you tomorrow." He said cheerily, jumping over the counter and walking her out. "By the way, I never did catch your name. I'm Ouji." He said, flourishing.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I'm partially blind, so please excuse me." He said, his smile faltering a little. "Is there anything over here I can interest you in? We have a ballerina in a box who literally dances, or a hat that you can pull bunnies out of. " He said, showing her a jewelry box with a dancing ballerina, and a hat which he pulled two rabbits out of and continues to do.

"Yeah, isn't it? I found it when I was up top. It shows the home town of whoever holds it. Well, in a way. When I look at it, it shows my home town. But you'll see your home town instead. It's an illusion orb, as I call it. Pretty neat, huh? If you're interested, only 20 american dollars." Ouji said, smiling and putting the rabbits back.
