Erinn would get the occasional salesman at most once every couple of weeks. Usually they'd try to sell her newer chairs or tables for her inn, but one look at the goods showed they were either low quality, scams or both. She wasn't surprised when someone who looked like another salesman walked in, she just got ready and prepared to brush off whatever lame product he was going to try to sell.
"Hello ma'am," he began, "I'd like to talk to you about POTATOES."
"Uh, we get all of our produce from a local farm," Erinn said with utter apathy.
"No no no, you misunderstand," he said pulling a card out of his shirt, "I'm a representative of the People Opposing The Aggressive Treatment Of Equitable Slimes, I'm not a spud salesman."
"And what exactly does your organization want with my inn?" Erinn asked with a small amount of interest.
"Well," he began, "because your inn is so popular and well known, we feel if you were a sponsor for us our word could be spread much more efficiently and with more impact on the public."
Erinn wasn't sure of what to do, she was used to con men and shoddy product salesmen, but she never dealt with sponsorship requests.
"Could you please tell me what expenses this could cause for my inn?" Erinn asked with a bit of nervousness.
"Depending on the reception, either you'll gain money and customers, or your business will take a mild hit to its income."
Erinn wasn't sure if it was a good idea, she didn't want to do something that would ruin the inn again and drive the business into a deep recession, especially since she had worked so hard to restore it.
"You know what," she began, "I'll think about it, could you come back some other time?"
The man looked understanding, but clearly showed signs of reluctance to leave. Erinn wasn't going to deal with him, just one annoyed look and the man rushed to the door.
"I really hope he doesn't come back." Erinn sighed.
Author's Notes: Well, it took a while, but I finally made chapter 5. This time we deal with something my brother came up with, people who were against killing and poor treatment of intelligent slimes.
A lot less humor in this one, but there's always time for more in later chapters.
As always reviews are greatly appreciated.
