"Do you think that that one would be good to sell to?" Skull asked. They had stocked up their inventories over the day, and they both wanted to sell off at least most of it. Viper knew how to pick the best buyer, but she hadn't found them yet.

"As a matter of fact, yes" Or not. The person that he was pointing to looked ridiculously strong. Their Avatar was doubtlessly buffed up, and the number of tattoos and piercings he had were quite unreal. An axe on his back reaffirmed him as a warrior, even though the game labeled him a merchant.

"Just watch" Viper said, and then turned to him in order to sell items. Harry had no idea what language she was speaking in, but it wasn't English. After a few minutes of negotiation, she handed over her items to sell and received a fairly large set of money. "Now give me your things to sell, and I'll see which ones I can negotiate a good sale on" Viper instructed Skull.

"You do realize that I can speak English?" The merchant said, thankfully amused. "Let the boy offer on his own"

If the game could simulate blushing, Viper would be doing so right now. All of her tough talk and smooth negotiation, and her client knew exactly what she had been intending to do. How embarrassing! Harry didn't make it better, even if he wasn't doing it intentionally. "What was she saying, sir?" All of Viper's hard work being strong, capable, and intimidating, all those lessons with her father? The second he opened his mouth to say something, all of that work was wasted.

"You are never going to go with me when I'm selling something again" Viper sternly told Skull "Never" She repeated, just for emphasis.

"Calm down, and no need to call me sir" The merchant said, finding the whole scene amusing. Her is this street-smart girl, with interesting avatar, plausible fees, and a knack for getting you right were she wants you- and her someone, just a clueless idiot who ruins her fearsome impression. Was this sort of scene common for them? Had she been let down like this before? Agil knew that he had to see more of these two. "Why don't you two come inside, and let the boy make his own attempt" he rebuked the girl's controlling attitude. "My name's Agil"

"Sorry, habit Mr. Agil" Harry said.

"Just Agil is fine" he commented.

"Alright Agil, my name's" His sister cut him off before he could finish.

"He is asking for your username, not your real one"

"True" Agil commented, "and your username is"

"Skull de mort" Harry said. "She chose it" he then excused.

"Skull, as in the Clumsy Swordsman Skull?"

"Yes" Skull muttered.

"I have heard many things about your performances, Skull" Agil said, amused.

"Well, I am a lot better at other skills than Swordsmanship, so I really do have good meats from my latest foray into the dangerous dungeons-ow" he muttered as Viper elbowed him.

"You don't have to make everything sound like it's a quest!" She complained.

"Ok, I'll believe you for now. Still, come inside and I can check it over more thoroughly.

"Fine" Viper said, "But I have a teleport crystal, so don't bother trying anything" True to her words, she stuck right next to her brother as they went in the shop. It was a disorganized mess inside, something that galled both of the twins. Harry's hands itched to put the mess into some sort of order, while Viper craved to do something to punish Agil for his slothful ways. Still, seeing the mess did give them a new thing that they agreed on about the strange merchant. They had to find some way to destroy his mess!

"This place is a mess!" Skull complained.

"You should be fined for keeping anywhere so messy, even if you own it" Viper added.

"I am so discussed by it that I am going to clean it up myself" Skull complained, reaching down to put something away.

Viper stopped his motion, and added, "If you pay him"

"Really?" Agil asked, surprised. "It's not that bad"

"Not that bad?" Skull and Viper cried out in chorus. "It's awful!"
"I can't even see what the available items are!" Skull complained.

"I have no way of knowing which types of things you do or don't have!" Viper added.

"I could easily trip on a blade and get hurt in this mess!" Skull worried.

"And it wouldn't be profitable for you to kill of your clients" Viper added.

"Ok, ok, I get the picture" Agil said, a pained look in his eye. "but what exactly do you want me to do about it? At home, my wife…" he started choking up, and would be crying if he could. "she was the one who cleaned and made some order out of my messes. How can I do that?"

Skull felt sorry for the man, trapped away from someone that he clearly loved. Viper, however, had had such qualms squashed by the training that her father had put her through. "We already offered you a solution. Hire Skull here to clean it up. He is obsessive about messes like this, so letting him get rid of a mess this size would be a favor to him! I would be supervising to make certain that he didn't hurt himself and to take care of the sharp things for him, so I don't see any problem with it. I'll even offer you a deal, half price on cleaning in exchange for making you cry. Agreed?"

"Agreed" Agil pulled himself together. "Thanks for the offer"

"Don't mention it" Skull happily said, already sorting the mess.

"On the contrary, do mention it" Viper said, sniffing out an opportunity. "Make us regular clients to hunt down your orders in payment"

"Deal" Agil said, touched. Yesterday he had been trapped away from his wife, unable to be with her. All day, the mess that he had made of the store taunted him with her absence. Now, these two nice players were offering to clean up the mess, getting rid of the constant reminder. On top of that, he now had two employees. The mess would be taken care of, and once he cared about it, being able to sell specialty items on order would give him a huge market advantage. This would let him get closer to his goal of returning to his wife, ultimately. If people had the supplies needed to level up, they would be one level closer to unlocking the hundredth floor. If these two people had the funds that they needed to continue to hunt things, they would get closer to leveling up and being able to beat the hundredth floor. "And just because I am so touched by your help, I'll add language lessons to that. I know French, Spanish, Russian, English, Italian, and Japanese. Being able to communicate with more people could only help from here on out, right?"
