I never would of thought that mirror would of been bought by anyone. I guess it's true nothing lasts forever.

I'm surprised, too... The mirror was such a constant, I didn't think most customers realized it was for sale, given how prominent it was.

... That and how much of a troublemaker it sometimes was, for customers...

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Yes. But it was quite useful for security and I did get it from a friend, but still. It was for sale. A pity. But I suppose it could be seen as a good sign.

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

Indeed, I'll agree upon that, that it was good for security purposes...

But a good sign?

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

It means we can sell higher end items like that. I would request the more... dubious items possibly be moved to the second floor, or the third floor, which I am planning on having done soon.

Whichever you deem smarter, dear.

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

I appreciate that you want my input on this.

I think higher end items should be put onto the third floor, once it is complete. While the second floor still requires general clearance, I think it should be shown as the more... Accessible floor, to the consumer.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Agreed. A show room for novelties would be best for that section.

Conveniences to Novelty to Oddity.

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

I can't wait until the new floor is finished, then.

I do sometimes wish that we didn't have to rely so much on customers getting legal clearance for a good number of our products, though... It makes it a bit difficult sometimes to satisfy them.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Admittedly this is a problem due to humans on Earth are... well. Inexperienced, my dear. They don't have at least 10,000 years behind them on this matter.

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

Yes, this is true. And admittedly, anything is better than being forced to close...

Responsibility is rather hard to come by.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

All we can do is hope society shifts.

Still, I would like all your input on improving the shop, now and as construction occurs.

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

Of course. I'll be happy to oblige.

If I third floor is going to be made, we should consider being able to spread out the products much easier, and perhaps put the more expensive normal items, as well as our larger items we have, up on the third floor, as well.

I have gotten comments that the store tends to feel rather cramped...

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Cramped in what sense?

Hrm. But putting the more expensive items that don't have any magical effects where customers who can pay for them but don't have clearance seems like a poor move.

Also do you need any additions to the store that you'd prefer? Besides the greenhouse?

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

That there is not enough room. That things seem rather close together. Some people may be nice and say it's "cozy", but it has been something I have heard...

If putting them onto the third floor would be a bad idea, perhaps the best addition to the store would be to expand the first floor? I do not know what else I would add to the store... Of course, I am rather simply satisfied.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

And would you suggest we make things more apart? And we could expand the first floor, if it bothers you not. Do you need any additions to the Greenhouse?

[gently-pricking.livejournal.com]

Of course, yes. I think it would be easier to organize items then, as well. Customers would probably find it easier to find what they need, after all. Expanding would help with that.

As for the greenhouse... Not really. Right now I'm mostly focusing on cultivating hybrid plants, but I have enough space to do so, for now.

[intheseichi.livejournal.com]

... Someone actually bought it?

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Yes. A blonde girl with a very... boorish mouth.

[intheseichi.livejournal.com]

... Suuuuddenly I'm a bit happy I wasn't working while this happened.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Most likely. She was quite proper about the transaction, but...

Still, a good sign, that such a high end item would get sold at all.

[intheseichi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it is a good sign. Means people are willing to buy it.

It's just the kind of people, I'd wonder about sometimes.

... Though I do actually have to wonder why someone would buy it... You mentioned security, right, sir? Maybe it was for that...

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Considering who the woman was, I'd assume it was generally for nobler purposes.

Well it has no practical offensive capabilities, barring one psychologically bothering themselves. It would require combination with other artifacts to do anything, and even the creator only intended it for self defense.

[intheseichi.livejournal.com]

... Do you know the woman who purchased it?

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

Not as such.

I know the group she works for, however.

[intheseichi.livejournal.com]

Ah... Something tells me I probably wouldn't know of the group.

[by-the-pricking.livejournal.com]

They don't have much reach on Earth, they are however known in the 12 Dimensions.
