[i wonder if our friendly junglehood npc clerk could also help ship these boxes home for us....but yes. carrying things! carrying money! gosh they were rich for a full half hour there, that's amazing.]
It really is convenient that we were able to find a store like this all the way out here. Everyone at home will surely appreciate these presents!
[ ooh, that would be convenient! in fact, that's probably what will end up happening, since it'd be a hassle to carry all of these home.
so after they get all of their coins counted and it turns out to be the correct amount, with about a handful to spare (wow, it was really good being rich for a full half hour, though), our friendly junglehood npc clerk will ask where their multiple, multiple, multiple packages will be shipped to.
this would be easier if tsuru had actually gotten around to memorizing those weird strings of numbers and letters... but he hasn't been here nearly as long! this is his excuse!
quickly turning to naki, now: ] Er, Naki. Do you remember our address?
[he does indeed know their address! one of the perks of being a deliveryperson is you learn to remember these things.
so he tells the guy their address (is it a guy? maybe it's a girl? or a talking bird in a shopclerk outfit?) and they can watch as their multiple multiple multiple multiple packages get taken somewhere behind the counter.
...his jacket is free and penniless again! smallest fox might jump onto tsuru for a short moment while he puts it back on.]
[ ugh, thank goodness naki is here to save the day. but maybe their clerk is that happy bird from a certain, directionally-named movie from the bonus prompt of the jungle log!! its happiness is almost contagious... he, too, will watch as it happily processes their multiple multiple multiple packages for swordhaus shipping.
so while naki puts his jacket on, tsuru holds onto smallest fox — literally! he plucks the fox off of his own shoulders and holds him between his hands, because he is soft and warm? smallest fox even gets another pat on the head for working so hard! but he sets him back on naki's shoulder soon enough.
and then, he'll voice what they were both probably thinking! he's smiling, though, this was really fun! ]
It was good being rich for, what... a whole thirty seconds, wasn't it?
[such a happy clerk! gosh, look at it making weird happy bird noises as it puts those packages away! smallest fox is perfectly happy to get headpats from tsuru while naki fixes his clothes, eyes closing in that happy way animals do when you pet them while they're comfy.
he waits 'til he's settled comfortably back on naki's shoulder (with another pat from naki) before--actually no, naki's the one speaking up this time, nodding as he does so.]
[ a happy bird!! if only they could take the bird home with them? but it won't last long if they do, so it has to stay here and take care of its little thingamajig store forever — because who knows? thingamajigs make great presents, and maybe they'll come back and buy some more when they're rich again...
ugh, tsuru is never Not going to be surprised at naki's voice — it's so soft and nice to listen to! getting to hear it is truly a rare treat; and in exchange, he'll give naki's head another small pat! although it's a bit difficult to convey good job, naki!, in a pat... but, he tried. ]
Do you think this store sells these online, too? What if we get more money one day, and we want to buy more?
[headpats are a reward in themselves! the message gets across pretty well, really - or at the very least naki enjoys it as much as smallest fox does. either way the pats are appreciated.]
Oh, that's a good question! Do you think the shopkeeper could tell us? [the shopkeeper chirps! That may have been a yes.]
[ tsuru understands his fellow bird comrade! it's saying yes!! what a great bird! but to buy things online, they need the website!! and this store is sadly lacking those little neat rectangles that are usually called 'business cards'...
so tsuru opens his keyboard and holds out his cerevice, which is on its last little legs of battery, towards the shopkeeper. ]
Here, mister bird. Do you think you can tap in a website for us?
[ ugh bird please be gentle. he is addicted to his little cerevice of connectivity and games and joy. ]
[what an enthusiastic bird!!! it's trying its best to be gentle with tsuru's cerevice, but it's a small cerevice and a very big bird.....every careful tap is not as gentle as tsuru might like it to be.
but cerevices are strong! like that gameboy that survived a nuclear blast!!!
...okay maybe not that strong but. at least it got the website address in!?]
[ gasp!!! when the bird is finished tapping, tsuru inspects his screen for any cracks and any damage, but nope, the phone seems okay! gosh, though — he thought he was going to die; cellular addiction is bad, they say. ]
Well, that looks like everything! Next-day delivery's pretty amazing, even from out here. [ he taps at the screen again, neatly tucking the website away as a notepad file. ]
I think we can get going, now — aren't you glad that you decided to come along with me?
And treasure, too— treasure maps usually don't go anywhere. [ ugh, the joy of wealth for a whole thirty minutes.
and as they head out the door, tsuru chirps back, too!! a small chirp. what a beautiful bird family... shopkeeper bird, tsuru bird, and naki bird, even smallest foxbird. ]
