A reminder, we are reaching fall.

We have on sale items for Respect for the Aged Day on both our first and higher floors.

Summer flowers will be on discount.

Also, we have several Youkai and Ghost Story themed goods on sale as befitting summer.

The same is true for beach wear and gym wear for the end of the season.

The flower. this flower.

she's currently sweeping up in the greenhouse area, which has been thriving-- at least in terms of growth. people should come in!*

::You get best boyfriend-girlfriend wandering in, sighing.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[...That is interesting. Very interesting.

Let's pick those up and examine them, hrming quietly as he moves to the front.]

Having a pleasant day as usual, officer?

[becomeanwarrior]

You... could say that. I just got back from a trip to Hyperborea, and I've been looking for a little pick-me-up. Seems like more and more often I'm having to head out for some talk or another.

Re: [Event]

[gently_pricking]

*oh dear, why is he sighing.

She goes up to him the moment she notices him.*

Is everything alright...?

[grimgrimwar]

[Alexandra is just. Kind of. Very carefully. Shifting around the store, hoodie pulled up. Every so often, she glances around, hoping nobody she knows is here.

She's never met the people who work here, but she's heard rumors of this place. Right now, she's just kind of sifting around aimlessly.]

Re: [Event]

[grimgrimwar]

[Alexandra eventually shuffles her way out to the greenhouse as well, looking no less anxious as she does, hood pulled up over her head.

But, well, at least if somebody she knows shows up, there's plenty of plants to hide behind back here.]

Re: [Event]

[gently_pricking]

*she picks up on the anxiousness pretty easily, as she looks over at the hooded person that came in.

Being more the type to try to help people relax than wonder why they have their hood up and all, she goes over, carrying her broom, smiling*

Welcome. Is there anything I can help you with?

Re: [Event]

[grimgrimwar]

"Um."

[Alexandra looks around.]

"Do you have anything that helps with. Um. Memory?"

Re: [Event]

[gently_pricking]

Hmm... It depends on what exactly you're looking for, but I might be able to have some dried herbs that help with it, though. *she thinks, thinks*

Are you looking for something to help with memory retention, remembering, forgetting...?

Re: [Event]

[grimgrimwar]

"Remembering."

Re: [Event]

[gently_pricking]

I might have something. Remembering can be kinda tricky-- there's no way to really make yourself remember something specific, after all. Sometimes it needs to go through a bunch of other things that've been forgotten.

*she walks over to a counter, going behind it and unlocking a cabinet with a key. there's a lot of dried plants, leaves, and herbs she's stored away, in there. there's also bottles of oils, too.*

Have you ever heard of the idea, that rosemary can help with remembering things?

Re: [Event]

[grimgrimwar]

"Um...I guess....I know it's used as a symbol for remembrance, I guess?"

Re: [Event]

[gently_pricking]

It's not just a symbol, but it is an actual use of it. There are... elements to the herb, that help with memory.

*she takes out a bottle of oil*

Of course, this is not from a traditional rosemary. This is a more carefully bred type that enhances that element, for medicinal purposes. Of course, it's still not overly potent-- if it was too potent, it could cause damage... but it should help, even just a bit, if there's something you want to remember.

Hyperborea's a fascinating land. Entirely frozen in a death grip of ice, its nation heavily militant, but the rulers are oddly benevolent.

Provided they don't want to expand into your territory.

Re: [Event]

[hyperhyposhiei]

Not as great as it could be.

::The man at the register at the back is reading a book. He gives a pleasant glance as he lets you look around on your own, Alex. Really, it's a curio shop. Knick knacks and the like. There's a green house to the side.

And the above mentioned sales are listed on signs that have a certain psuedo Victorian flair.::

[becomeanwarrior]

At the very least, Lord Mobius is an amicable sort. Political-minded, surely, but not without his own charm. Admittedly, I didn't get much chance to take in the sights. I was doing some research on older languages.

[by_the_pricking]

He honestly brings to mind your world's Prussian kings, kaisers and ministers.

Re: [Event]

[grimgrimwar]

"W-well...someone I know...went through something really traumatic, and now they're suffering from memory loss. Do you think that'll help?"

[grimgrimwar]

"I really think we should just go talk to the guy at the register. I dunno what any of this stuff does."

[grimgrimwar]

'His smell is offensive. I don't want to get any closer.'
