[So you know, you're getting a video towards the end of Cordis cycle of... oh, it's a bunch of like, hand creams and body wash and shampoos and candles and stuff. There are a whole lot of them all arranged nicely on a counter? And there are a lot of different flavors... mostly floral, but some fruity and some woodsy and whatnot.

...the speaker is not onscreen, because why should he be. he is not the star of this show.]

I have found something wonderful, my friends. It's like Wan Shi Tong's library in the desert, except for good scents and hair care products. This-[he kind of pans over his haul]-is only a mere sampling of the offerings Moonlight Path and Body Works had for sale, and yet it's such a variety! It's not even that expensive! The stuff back home is expensive and there isn't quite as much variety! But it all smells fantastic. I just...

[CONTENTED SIGH.........]

I need more. I spent a lot of money, but I want to buy one of each product. This is such a fantastic vacation that I did not actually sign up for, but maybe it is a vacation I needed. This... is a good time I'm having here.

[oh no, this is stupid. at least he's having a good time and won't regret posting this whenever cordis is over. right? right.]

[ Siegfried doesn't normally care for such things (in fact, his friends would prefer if he DID put more thought into his grooming), but he too has been affected by the Cordis moon. It leaves him... more curious about selfish things. ]

Intriguing. Could you describe some of these scents?

I have to say, a lot of them are pretty self-descriptive? Like this Lavender Vanilla wash I have.

[HE'LL PICK THAT BAD BOY UP]

It's nice because it's got a sweet smell to it, but the floral lavender scent keeps you from smelling like a bakery that's just churned out about a hundred cupcakes.

...

Of course, I'm sure you could smell like a bakery if you wanted. That sounds great, actually.

[schwarzen]

Oh?

[ His newly acquired fox ears perk up in interest. ]

That does sound quite pleasant. Even you've also left me with the thought that I'd like to find a cupcake sometime soon. Perhaps one of the bakeries around Lunatia Square...

What about something a bit less... sweet? Something earthier. If there's something suitable, I may have to buy a bottle or two myself.

[bloodisthicker]

...

[Tarrlok's ears also perk up...]

Now I want some cupcakes. I might head there tomorrow just so I can pick some up.

[like, a whole dozen. that sounds fine.]

In any case... hmm... I like the floral scents a bit better, but they've got mahogany teakwood hand soap. I didn't check to see if they went all in on that, though.

[schwarzen]

That sounds like a good idea. I may do that myself, though I'm not sure if I'm willing to wait until tomorrow.

[ If there's even any baked goods to be found anymore, given that it seems like every Cordis in the area also gives into sugary temptation very easily. ]

Hmm. That sounds nice. I'll have to check it out myself, then. Thank you.

[bloodisthicker]

You know, you're right... it's really tempting to just go out and make a bit of Chroma and then buy a bunch of cupcakes.

[...]

Hopefully there's enough supply to meet demand, of course.

[schwarzen]

There may not be, if I get to them first.

[ he's just joking, probably ]

[bloodisthicker]

...

I guess that means I have to go now.

[THIS IS GETTING WEIRDLY COMPETITIVE]

[schwarzen]

Heh. I would advise you be quick. I could very well be there already.

[ Yeah, he has no idea why he's suddenly so competitive about some cupcakes, but true to his word, he's already on the way. ]

[bloodisthicker]

Well, I'll accept your challenge, then.

[making his way downtown.
