Why don't you look around, dear girl, and find something you're interested in buying, first?
-Ash smiles warmly at Takeo before shutting the door-
-And goes to sit down behind her desk, steepling her hands-
-her office is, essentially, a combination of the stereotypical 'wizard's den' and a cozy back room - on the shelf behind her are dozens of jars filled with swirling orbs of light-
So... for something like that, it won't be too backbreaking. Either you work for me for a month - cumulative, so that's 730 hours total, spread out as much as you like - or you let me siphon a little bit of your energy.
-smiles handsomely- It sounds weirder and worse than it is! But it won't harm you. You won't even feel its absence, mostly. And with that deck, you might be able to wish for it back, and we're both doing alright then, so win-win.
-Mura finds that the swords and other artifacts of such nature are on the second floor...-
-and there are a lot of swords.-
-a whooooole lot of them. rooms and rooms filled...-
UN JOUR JE SERAI DE RETOUR PRÈS DE TOIThis won't hurt a bit...
-points a finger at Aichi, muttering a fell incantation-
-a ray of crackling, black energy beams towards him, and he can feel himself growing... weaker. Less complete-
-but the sensation only lasts for a second, and Ash is holding a curious glowing ball of light, much like the ones in the jars-
You see? Painless.
-she smiles, putting the light into an empty jar-
-Takeo nearly bowls over a centaur who's browsing a bookshelf-
-she arrives at... The Illusion Corner, which holds a litany of strange artifacts-
-there's a mirror, with a warning sign next to it and a tarp placed over it-
-several rings, placed on a satin pillow-
-and some kind of sash hanging from a hat rack-

-...? He feels... weaker...? It's... strange...-
-...Well, at least he's able to get that deck now...-
"T-Thank you..."
-...Is he supposed to go grab the deck now...?-
"S-Should I go get one of the decks then...?"
-He's actually quite a bit less visible now... and quieter.-
Outside (Survivor Aichi)
-That whole thing with Rottytops last night was... a bit crazy...-
-...Honestly he still feels bad that he tried to kill her... Granted he's still extremely uncomfortable around her, but he still can tell she didn't mean any harm...-
-...? Oh, Gowasu and Zamasu...-
-He's... definitely not comfortable around Zamasu either.-
-...He decides to approach anyway.-
"Hello."
-...Oh, hey, he doesn't have his coat on this time!

Ash's Store (Ghost Aichi)
-...-
"...Um... would it be OK if I got something other than the cards?"
-He's... getting kind of nervous the more he thinks about it potentially doing something harmful...-

-Well, Zamasu is as... unpleasant as ever.-
-...Not that Aichi's going to be rude and say that.-
"Oh, um... Thank you."
-He sits at the table.-
"I've been... all right, I suppose..."
-Other than the scare yesterday...-
—
Ash's Store (Ghost Aichi)
-Hmm... What would he be interested in...?-
"Um... Maybe something that can help people notice me...? Or maybe something that can help me get back home..."
-He seems a little down.-
"Most of the people here just don't seem to pay attention to me... It's really strange... It's like they don't realize I'm here..."
"Well I'm glad to hear that. I was just looking at some official Kai business. Just because we've shown up here doesn't make it a vacation, after all."
-He's looking at that box-
"Of course not. Gods don't take vacations, especially with so much that needs to be done."
-Koata the sky is pink and it's glowing particularly brightly over that crack-

-WHOA! That weird crack thing got bigger! And look at all of the rainbow stuff!-
"Wow...!"
-He seems amazed by it.-
-Geez, you'd figure the kid would be more freaked out...-
-...Huh? The sky is pink now too!-
"Are you making the sky pink too, Koata?"
-...? Kora?-
"Is that that lady from yesterday...?"
—
Outside (Survivor Aichi)
-Ah, they must have quite a bit of business to attend to, even here...-
"I see... I hope your business goes well."
-It's not particularly any of his business asking about it... That and he's sure Zamasu wouldn't take kindly to him sticking his nose into things.-
"It must be difficult work..."
-...Or is it easy since he's a Kai?-
-...Aichi can't help but think of Kai when he thinks about it.-
-...Hmm... Kai as a Kai...-
-...Aichi can't picture it...-

Ash's Store (Ghost Aichi)
-Oh, all right...-
-He follows Ash into the back room.-

Forest (Young Aichi)
-Aichi nods nervously.-
"Y-Yeah... and Koata gave us candy. See...?"
-He holds out the little bit of candy he got out.-
"Um... Do you want some...?"
