>Sounds like they'll need some compensation. What are you prepared to offer, if anything?

((So once again the time has come for a brief hiatus - except this one's a lot longer. I'm going on a cruise, and there won't be WiFi there, so I won't be able to update. I'll be back in about 2 weeks - 12 days, to be specific. See y'all then!))

I haven't the faintest idea what you're talking about.

EDIT: Though that did reminded me that I more or less asked that question once before. I blame terrible memory. <_< Regardless, question's been rescinded, since it was already answered.

EDIT 2: Though there is actually still a minor curiosity.

> "We want something good! Something we can use." Luna crosses her arms. "And if you've got something like that...we'll help you. Deal?"

> You're not sure what material your dress is made out of, but it's definitely not silk or anything like it. It's pretty swishy, but nothing special. The top of your dress fits you snugly, as if it was tailor-made for you, which as far as you know it is.

> Mystia's shop is mobile, so its exact location varies from day to day, but given her customer demographic she usually doesn't stray too far from the human village, and today is no exception. The two of you quickly spot her cart stationed along the road leading through the forest, and upon landing next to it you hear faint snoring coming from inside.

MiniKing: Since we're in the middle of an idea of yours, I don't expect I'll be doing more than asking side questions that don't advance the action, so you needn't worry about me doing such a thing unless I'm struck by a really good idea somehow. Just go ahead and keep doing your thing, and I'll poke along for information in the background, as it were.

> How late in the day does Mystia typically wake up?

> It's true that pretty much everyone you know has some kind of permanent dwelling place, but unlike fairies or even most youkai, Mystia has a job, and one that requires her to move around a lot, too. Therefore, she finds it easier to just sleep with her cart. It's pretty nice in there, if cramped, once she cleans up for the night. (To put it in terms of the Outside World, Mystia sleeps in her car.)
> Mystia's a natural youkai, and a night sparrow youkai at that, so she's pretty exclusively nocturnal. She usually gets up right around sunset so she'll have plenty of time to get the shop ready for the night's business.

> How tall is Mystia?
> How do we normally get grilled lamprey from Mystia?

> Mystia's pretty short for a youkai, being fairly low-power; amongst magical beings such as youkai and fairies, height is one of those things that's inexplicably linked to power in some way, in that higher-powered youkai tend to be taller than lower-powered ones. This isn't an ironclad rule, of course, but it's how it tends to happen. She's around Daiyousei's height.
> You normally get grilled lamprey from Mystia the way everyone else gets grilled lamprey from Mystia: by buying it from her. She gives you a discount because you're friends, though (also because you're a fairy and fairies don't exactly have jobs).

~~> Holy night sparrows, Batman!~~
> You're already at the stand. Are you trying to get inside? It's pretty cramped in there; you could probably fit in there, but Daiyousei would have a hard time, and you definitely couldn't both fit at the same time.

>Do we have enough for 3 (or possibly 5) lamprey?

> You keep your money in a secret safe place near your house. Don't want anyone stealing it, after all - you don't have that much, and the only way you can reliably replenish your supply is by stealing from humans. As a result, you don't actually have any money on you right now. Maybe Mystia will let you have some for free if you explain it's for an epic prank?
