"I swear, you act like you have to answer every question in the world..." Chris says with a sigh, shaking their head as they pick a path through the shelves, heading for the back of the store.
In response to Bart's question, curio shops and how common they were for Chris back home, Chris says, "Moderately common. There are a lot of poor people who can't afford to buy new things, and a few collectors of antiques and oddities, so there's demand for secondhand goods." At the mention of catalogs, Chris smiles, "Ah, my mom's got some memories of picking out toys she wanted from the Sears Christmas catalog as a kid... y' could make a case that online shopping is another form of picking from a catalog."
"Aa-a!!" Lou gives a happy yell when Bart calls attention to the round craft.
"I don't know what a seamoth is, Bart," Chris points out with amusement.
"It's some kind of carriage!" says Gil Calloway, poking his head out from a door marked 'Employees Only'. "Though how it's supposed to work without wheels, I can't figure!"
[[ OOC: Feel free to take control of one of the NPCs -- you can write out the exchange (haggling) with Gil, or take on Lou for interruptions. I'll roll with whichever character you don't take on. ]]
