We have all been gender flipped!

"Oh, there is?" Daydre's ears twitch. ".. How'd I not notice that?"

After a few seconds, Daydre follows Teddy upstairs.

"Huh, I don't see a closed sign...", Mikaela noted before lightly tapping on the front door.

Natalia follows as well, curious about who could be at the door.

"More people?" She asks.

The muffled sound of things being shuffled around and papers being moved can be heard, before a woman's voice calls "We're open!"

Mikaela looks a bit confused, but happy nonetheless as she opens the door for herself and Georgia to enter.

"Eh? Alright..." says the person, who turns out to be Marie. She's carrying a duffel bag that she didn't have before.

Daydre headtilts.

".. What's in the bag?"

Teddy stepped back closer to Erin, "She's been here before, no idea why she felt the need to knock to get in, given our kinda strange arrangement here."

"Long story, maybe I'll tell you later when you're not busy..."

"That seems unnecessary." Erin remarked. They made a conscious decision to stay out of the way of the main action.

"Yeah, well, everyone has their eccentricities" Teddy shrugged, "I mean, they were having a meeting to discuss knives downstairs." Speaking of which, she's still holding onto the knife she got from Daydre.

"Oh.."

"That's not very strange, though." They said, opening their coat to reveal the jet-black handles of a butterfly knife in their coat.

"...Don't mention that to them." They said just as quickly, setting the cost back into place.

Daydre overheard Erin and Teddy's entire conversation, and that bothered him. So he tried to ignore it.

"It's not like we really have anything we're doing right now..." He says to Marie.

As Mikaela and Georgia walk in they'll be met by... A well lit store interior? Huh? Contrary to how it looked from the outside, once they stepped in the store was actually rather cozy and bright looking. The store itself is only about the width of an alleyway, though it goes pretty far back. Shelves of random odds and ends line the walls, ending at a counter in the back- behind which sits a blonde thirty-something woman. The floor is covered in a multitude of mismatched overlapping throw rugs, almost as if someone didn't want to bother getting just one big carpet.

The woman waves at them. "Hey there! Welcome to Sun Shower Antiques!"

"It's unusual, not bad, I mean... What I'm more curious about is where they found the knives in the first place, the ones they had are definitely weapons of war and not tools. They're balanced to be thrown, and that doesn't seem like the type of thing someone would just leave laying around for them to find."

"Eh. I've been out a while. Nobody's gone poking around in my bedroom, yeah?"

Erin nodded in thanks.

"This one was mine anyway. I had it when I got here."

"Not that I know of."

"Well yeah, I figured that. I more meant the ones like I have here, they apparently just found them in one of the rooms on the lower level," she flicks the knife to draw attention to it, "I suppose that's no stranger than anything else that's happened around here, though."

"Cool. As for what's in the bag... you wanna see?"

Koi scratches his bare chin, it seems as though he is thinking deep thoughts, the sparkle in his eyes temporarily nullified for the time being. "That's fair. Still, hey, knife club rules."

"...Yeah I do."

"They are odd...but you're right."

Marie unzips the duffel bag to reveal a bagful of strange, wormlike creatures, like some middle ground between mealworms and earthworms. A couple fall out and squirm their way under Marie's pants leg. She seems completely unfazed by this.

Natalia is a few paces away from everyone by the door to the house and is lazily watching them interact.

"We're all..." She starts when Marie opens the bag, "do you have a pet bird or something we don't know about? What's with the worms?"
