| + | “You are on promotion shift. It’s pretty freeform. I recommend having a look around Emporium first, starting from the Showcase. That’ll give you a sense of what’s on offer this season and even better,” Mask is smiling as they always are, but there is a tangible warmth in their voice, “you’re sure to find many objects of beauty.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Seeps nods slowly, its new employee vest hanging weirdly off its swirling shape. It’s closely fitted, somehow. Doesn’t change the fact it’s weird. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Did you read the brief for this season’s promotional theme?” | ||
| + | |||
| + | “**Yes… ‘Stirring’. Animals wake, insects stir, stones hatch, prophecies come true. Movement begins as the wheel of time turns…**” | ||
| + | |||
| + | “Very good! You’re ready for the job. Don’t worry, if you have any questions, come find me in the Empty Vessel. Otherwise, see you at first break?” Emporium has introduced more breaks for the employees last seasonal cycle, as part of a series of reforms. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Before the two part ways, they are interrupted by a thin and breathy voice. “Hello there… are you employees? We are… we are looking for something.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | The two turn. Mask nods encouragingly at Seeps, who moves forward a little and attempt to dp a friendly but official voice: “**Hello, welcome to Emporium. We have everything you want. How may we help you today? | ||
| + | |||
| + | The customer is a long and slender Chimera, whose shadow moves separately to its movements. “Ah… that is good… good. We are… we are looking for memories… Memories we didn’t have.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Not as common as “I’m looking for cake” or “I’m here to get a weapon to kill another god”, but not too extraordinary either. Seeps asks a few questions, trying to get the Chimera to clarify. Does it mean other people’s memories? No, it emphasises it must be memories //it (or they, whoever they are)// didn’t have. Is this to do with Absences again, did it remove something important from its world? No, not that it knows of. Alternative timelines, is the memories it’s looking for something the alternative versions of it have but it doesn’t? Maybe, the customer looks confused. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “We will try our best to help you,” Mask ensures the Chimera, “maybe what you are looking for will become clearer once the search begins.” | ||
| + | |||
| + | “**Yes… Please rest assured that we will do everything within our abilities to help you find these memories. We are... we at Emporium are experienced in dealing with such matters.**” | ||
| + | |||
| + | Mask and Seeps make the decision to prioritise this customer’s shopping experience and together they guide the customer towards Dreamers’ Lodge. They are not exactly surprised to find yearning there as well. The old friends greet each other and also introduce themselves to the Chimera, who seems somewhat surprised by the friendly gesture. | ||
| + | |||
| + | “We might be dreaming together soon. It is only right to know each other before doing so.” Mask’s smile is comforting enough for the customer to accept this. And indeed soon, the mixed group of customers and employees fall asleep in their separate pods, and find themselves within Emporium’s otherside. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Just like in the old days, but with new friends. Just another day on the job. | ||
