>ask who brought the Zimbabwe cash

>When I find that dirty rotten bastard, he's gonna get such a parsin'. Luckily it came from the demo.
>"Ah, Cirno came in here, shrieking in a mad panic and hiding from something that came out of the lake," says Rinnosuke. He gestures toward the far corner. "While hiding over there and whimpering, she found it on the floor. I let her have it to distract her from her current worries. So she used it in a purchase, and went merrily on her way."

>and about that package
> and whether he thinks it's a bomb or something

>"I found it in the mailbox earlier," says Rinnosuke, and he produces the package, which is a cylinder-shaped box a bit more than a foot in diameter, wrapped in brown paper. "It was addressed here, but for 'Your Best Customer'. No return label on it, alas. It's rather light, so I wouldn't think it's a bomb. Though if you suspect so, please open it outside."

So...we haven't addressed the matter of the package yet? If not...:

EDIT: Darn, ninja'd, thanks to my terrible connection. Oh, never mind, ignore the first command, I'll just leave it there for the record.

Ignore this command > "Thanks, by the way. Have I told you you're my best shopkeeper? Anyway, a package? For me? aw, you shouldn't have. Does it tick? Is it hissing smoke at the corners? Is it the super deluxe Okuu-brand nuke I've been wanting all these years?"

> Take the package outside and open it gently with your broomstick.

> Ask if he supplies Tellurium. If not, ask if he knows where to acquire some. Also ask if he's heard from Nitori and whether or not he knows of her current whereabouts. Finally, ask for any recent rumours.

>Mystia shrugs and does so, while you move so that the rest of the party is between you and the box. Flandre gives you a curious look, whilst Rumia simply moves to hide behind you, apparently giggling.
>Mystia opens the package to reveal a hatbox. Opening that, she says, "Oh, how nice!" and shows off the contents: a rather lovely hat.

>Mmmm, new hat smell mingled with brown paper smell.
>Mystia wasn't quite so precise, but the paper is more or less in one piece.

>The hatbox does not react in any way that you wouldn't expect a hatbox to react.
>"Tellurium?" says Rinnosuke, frowning. "That is a rare metal, is it not? I am afraid I don't have any in stock. Nitori may, she tends to have surprising uses for such things. Have I heard from her? No, not today. And rumors? Hmmm. Well, I've heard stories that Utsuho has been running around town causing trouble with her games. Oh, and you'll be interested to know that Suika fixed her motorcycle, I heard it roar past a short time ago."

>They are all perfectly obvious to me, so you'll have to request particular items.
>Border of Life.
>More properly titled Bloom nobly, cherry blossoms of Sumizome ~ Border of Life , this is a melodious song that many agree carries a feeling of epicness and bad things about to happen to you in a beautiful way. The composer calls it extreme and elegant, powerful but ephemeral, and emotional.
>The Sealed-Away Youkai ~ Lost Place
>This is a simple and fast melody, very suitable for bringing things to a climax. The composers remarks that it is a cool song.
>Roll of Admit One Tickets
>This is a roll of generic orange-colored tickets, with "Admit One" printed on them. You estimate there are are between three to five hundred in the roll.
