Adorí Ţyota Šinta (Foreign (To TSP) Goods Trade)
Topic Started: Mar 3 2005, 05:19 PM (204 Views)
Matsu Aza


Several people stand outside a building near a port, and unlock the door to the building. Several take spots behind the registers of larger salesareas within the centre of trade. An older man takes out a bunch of signs and places them in various areas around the outside of the building. He then places in front of the building a sign that reads:

meyë ea sa öne dusí oa sa!

All are welcome!


With the flick of a switch, a large banner that hangs over the door drapes down.

otorí rafa!!

GRAND OPENING!!


He goes back inside and glances at the wide aisles in the large building with a content look on his face, and says to himself, "Let the sales begin."

At any rate, here's what the Adorí Ţyota Šinta (Adori Thyota Shinta works if you can't type that on your computer) offers:

Matsui novels and other forms of literature
Movies, new and old
Paintings, elaborate carvings, statues/statuettes, jewelry and other arts
Hand-made items, such as furniture, baskets, etc.
Tacos from the Takozakí in the centre of the building and:

The 15th (15 being the day building commenced) buyer will win* a new, 2033 Noyuba Naimë! (Eheh, yes, my nation is a bit...post-modern).

2033 Noyuba Naimë:

Two-seater
475hp
Max speed: Approx. 600km/h (373mph)
Petrol-fueled, 50mpg (US), 60mpg (UK), 21.25kpl

* While the cost of the car becomes $0, insurance rates and taxes may still apply depending on country of residence

*Witnesses the opening ceremony and wonders what this all is about. Then he sees the unveiling of the signs "Grand opening and all are welcome*

Hmm, "All" would probably include me, let me investigate...

*Wanders in*

Greetings :)!

This certainly looks exotic...

*browses through the books*

Say, what language are these books in? It looks like a cross between Quenya and Czech, and it sounds like Japanese, but I speak neither...

A young (early twenties) man comes around and notices Tsrill wander into the book aisles. He follows, assuming Tsrill is a new, prospective customer. (I am assuming you are female. If you are not, please point this out. I'd rather use the pronouns, eheh. Until then, I shan't write the assumption in IC)

Tsrill: “Say, what language are these books in? It looks like a cross between Quenya and Czech, and it sounds like Japanese, but I speak neither...”

Mikayal (with a perfect British-like accent): “None of the above, actually. The language is one known as Matsui, spoken only on the Isles of Matsui and by families in other areas who once lived there. Matsui itself has no relationship to any other language in the world, although it often looks similar to some (Central European ones, usually). In case you're wondering, we do have some English books in the aisle to your right. Is there any other way I can be of assistance to you?”

((Incidentally, this language I'm detailing does have a complete lexicon and developed grammar, which you can find on my website, www.matsuiconlang.org))

But of course! Russian is, after all, a minority language in Terra Matsu. We have a special on the translated version of Lord of the Rings, $10! Is there anything else I can do for you?

Since today is a very good day, you can take the dictionary free of charge.

Coffee is available at the Takozakí. *Points down the aisle towards the large taco shop* ...yes, coffee, at a taco shop.

((OOC: Eheh, thanks. And no, it didn't help at all. c.c))

Shame we cannot speak them all indeed. Our bookshelves contain books in many languages. We carry books in the 'standard' written forms of German, Latin, Russian, English, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, Chinese, Danish and even French. We also have books written in our dialects of English, German, Russian, and French. But of course, knowing the standard forms of dialects won't help you a whole lot with reading our "English" books. It'd be like trying to read Chaucer. ;)

Our standard English section contains the works of various authors as Poe, Twain, Chaucer, Shakespeare, et al. I think we have a few copies of Beowulf, too. The pages are split, with the original Old English on the left column and modern English on the right.

“Of course! Go to your left to the book section, and go past the Spanish section. There lies the Danish section.”
