All Things Odd; We've got whatever you're looking for...

From the outside, the non-descript store looks rather large. However, this idea is quickly destroyed upon entrance. In front of you is a large man-mountain sized pile of what can only be classified as junk.

Navigating your way around several more junk piles, careful not to step on the various ice cream scoops and egg beaters strewn around the floor, you reach the front counter. Next to the 1950's style cash register is a small bell that says "Ring for Service"

You hear a scruffling behind the desk. Leaning over the counter, suddenly an incredibly small man jumps up on a stool behind the counter, his chin barely scraping the top of the counter.

"I am Roberto Vincenzi Marco Palmieri the Third. You can call me Bob. Welcome to the All Things Odd. We have whatever you are looking for... the only problem is finding it."

His large grin is directed at you.

*a black suburban with tinted windows pulls up in front of the shop. Four armed men dressed in black jump out. Two setup to cover the entrance while the other two rush inside and quickly search the room for people.*
“CLEAR” One shouts.
*a young man gets out of the suburban, walks inside. He is dressed similarly to the other men with a combat pack on. He nods to Feidi*
"Not a word"

*addressing the owner*

I have heard that you seem to have almost everything. I have found myself in need of a small necklace or possibly a bracelet. However I am not searching for just some cute nick-knack. I am not quite sure what it should look like yet. It must be rather simple and delicate. And it must have a small compartment to hold something very valuable to me. What can you do for me?

Well hello Bob, what a wonderful title!
And a fantastic shop, if I may say so! I think I could spend hours in here...

*pulls out a shopping list*

Right, firstly, I am looking for a typewriter, a working one, with a full ribbon.
I am also looking for a teaspoon, of classic edwardian silver styling, a tapering neck and a skull motif on the top of the handle.

Anything you can do?

Bob steps around the corner. At his full height, he is 3'6" and somewhat stocky.

Looking around scanning the various piles of junk, he dives in one head first. After a few moments of rummaging around, he jumps out with an old typewriter, seeming to be made about the same time as the cash register. He sets it on the counter, and goes back into another pile.

Digging around for another few moments, he comes out with a spoon. "Here you are, classic Edwardian style with a tapering neck." He hands it directly to Fidei

Do you mind if I have a rummage around for a little while?

Blushes as she kisses him on the cheek.

"Thank you very much my dear, and rummage away. Let me finish your typewriter." Disappearing behind the counter, he comes up with a large blue ribbon. He deftly ties it around the typewriter. "One typewriter with ribbon."

Coming back around the counter, he approaches MF. "You can be certain my shop offers full confidentiality priveledges. Now then, you wanted a simple, delicate necklace with a compartment capable of protecting something valuable. I have that right here."

He takes a sidelong dive into the pile of rubbish, and comes out with a long chain, with an atheletic cup on the end. "Here you are, this should do well."

Quickly shoves odd necklace back into the pile. "Ah! you wanted a locket!!! of course, why didn't you just say so."

Disappearing behind the counter, he comes back with a beautiful silver locket and chain with a gold rose imprinted on it. "Now sir, did you want your picture or the ladies in here? Or maybe the both?"

Thank you, that is much better. I am a specialist in many things but i have very little knowledge of jewelery. It is not for a picture so it will be just fine as it is.

Bob, I understand that you are not here at this moment, but when you return, I should like to inquire after a supply of NajiNaji Pins. They are about three inches long, a milimeter thick, and covered with the sap of the banana tree. In return, I shall bless some for you so that they might be stuck in the side of your enemies and cause severe spasms of silly walking.

"Ah, High Priestess Zepowa (pronounced zep-o-wa). It is a pleasure to see you here. Naji Naji pins... let me see here..."

Looks around and around... rummages through a few piles, then looks confused.

"Umm, hold on... we have to have something like that somewhere."

Nonchalantly slips behind the still rummaging Fidie and quickly yanks two bobby pins out of her hair. Darting behind a pile, he pulls out a banana and shoves the bobby pins through the fruit. They come out rather sticky on the other side

"Here you are... two Naji... Naji... pins... yes... Come back later and there'll be more of the same!"

(High Priestess of Zepowa (pronounced Zee-pow-ah, no matter what you say, you silly person Mr. AntiD!!!!) shrugs as she takes the makeshift NajiNaji pins.)

"Thank you for your help, pygmy-like man, I appreciate it very much."

(Waves Almighty Ju Ju Stick of Powa over the pins)

"There, you may have three. Careful, they will cause spastic bouts of silly walking, so do not stick yourself with them!"

(Hands the short man three pins)

"And to you all! I may be starting a store, where you can buy these types of objects, special to my own country!"

Good evening! You advertise that you have anything I'm looking for. I'm currently in the market for a professional soccer goalie. Should be about this tall, physically fit, and able to play much better than my older model.

Bob runs up to you and shakes your hand.

"Professional soccer goalie huh... that's a tall order to fill..."

He runs into the back room, and comes out with a 6'3" man in an apron carrying a mop.

"This is Herbert Jones. He's not a professional soccer goalie, but he's good at catching flies and mopping up... Sorry I can't help more, but we don't usually get orders for people. And I don't know any good professional soccer goalies. Or any professional soccer goalies. Or any professional soccer players."
