Shades

Ant Kingdom, Underground Tavern

Vi: SHADES! You sold me stolen stuff!

Shades: Kehehe… So you've noticed, Vi? Should you be surprised?

Vi: Do you know how much trouble I almost got in!?

Shades: Kehehehe. It's all part of doing business here. And before you ask, I never give out refunds! Kehehehehe!

Vi: Grrr!

Leif: Uh, is this your...friend, Vi?

Vi: Not anymore.

Shades: Ow, really? That hurts, you know?

Kabbu: Shades...you sell Medals and trinkets, yes?

Leif: Pretty rare ones, from the looks of it.

Shades: Kehehe! Good eye, my cold friend!

Shades: Welcome to Shades' rare Medal shop, where only the rarest of the rarest Medals are for sale!

Kabbu: These are likely stolen, but...! They seem like they'd cost so many berries!

Shades: Berries? No, nono! No, my round friend.

Shades: We only accept very top quality Crystal Berries here!

Shades: Normal berries are for chumps, Crystal Berries are where it is at!

Leif: We did find a few, but... Are we really going to buy from a thief?

Shades: Kehehehe. If it makes you feel better, not ALL of them are stolen…

Vi: ...It's for the mission, right?

Kabbu: Sigh... Alright. For the mission.

Shades: Every bug's got a price! You chose a good shop to bet your integrity on!

Shades: Just stand near what you want and press |button,4| to check it out! Kekekehehehe!

Kabbu: I immediately regret this.

Leif: For the mission, Kabbu. For the mission.

[Wha'cha sellin'?]

Shades: Kehehe! You can see all I'm offering right over there! Press |button,4| on whatever ya fancy!

Shades: I have lots of Medals and I like to change my stock now and then, so keep coming! Keep coming!

Shades: Maybe sometime there will be something you fancy? Kehehehehe!

Shades: Oh, and I only accept Crystal Berries here! Don't give me those crummy common berries! Kehehe!


[We're just browsing./exiting out]

Shades: Alright! Alright! Kehehe! But you should buy now while you still can! Kehehehehe!

Textbox: Gimme! Gimme!

Not this time.

[Gimme! Gimme!]

Shades: Kehehe! Here you go my lovelies...

Shades: Come back if you still have any berries left to spend! Kehehe!


[Not this time.]

Shades: Kehehe. Okay. Your loss.


[Insufficient funds]

Shades: Oh hoho! Not enough! Not enough! Too bad, I guess!


[buy everything from shop]

Shades: Kehehe! Vi, you've run me out of stock!

Vi: Your fault for selling super good stuff!

Shades: Kehehe ... The new code...it's " FRAMEONE"!

Leif: We can already get in, though…

Shades: Kehehe ... There's a "menu" you can input that on.

Kabbu: Menu? I do not understand…

Shades: Keh. Sorry. That's all I know.

Shades: Thanks for all the business! Kehehe!!!

Vi: Shades' business is booming as always.

Kabbu: You know, Vi...given the nature of this place, can we be sure he's acquired all this legally?

Vi: Shh. Keep it up and they'll throw you out!

Leif: That's useful to know...
