[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.]

I am having an excellent time, Detective, and you should check it out. It will probably change your life.

Wow. Now this sounds like a really big deal, pal! [Especially if it has someone like Tarrlok all excited.] I don't really check out those kinda places that often, though... What would you recommend for me?

Hmm... well, they do have a scent called Noir that's got cardamom and smoky vanilla to it. It seems very... detective-y, you know?

Whoa! You had me at "Noir", pal! Now that word's as detective-y as they come!! I dunno what the other words mean, but now I know I gotta give it a try!!

Yes, definitely. Are you familiar with this sort of thing?

[he should ask to be polite instead of assuming.]

If not, I do have to say that you should exercise moderation. There is such a thing as too much, even if it smells great.

Um... Not too familiar, pal. This kinda thing's outside of my normal price range back home. But I always wondered what it's like!! So I appreciate the tip. I promise I'll be careful with it!

Entirely understandable, but money isn't that much of an issue here unless we break the economy on accident or something.

You're right, pal! It's a lot easier to raise up the money I'd need here. So maybe I should try to treat myself!

...Wait! But can I make sure I don't break the economy?! [He doesn't want that to be broken, that's where money comes from!]

...I mean, I'm not entirely sure how strong the economy is here, so it's probably fine. You as an individual won't break it, I don't think.

Phew!! Now that's a relief, pal. Then I can get myself some Noir without feeling any guilt at all!! Thanks, Mr. Tarrlok!

Have fun! There are free samples you can try out, too!

Oh, I will, pal!! You can bet on it! ...Wait, there a free samples?! That place really must be some kinda wonderland!!

Oh, it absolutely is. Granted, you can’t take it home, but they have sample copies of their products you can spray on your hand or something to see if you like how they smell.

Oh yeah? Well then what if I don't wash my hand? Then I'll be taking that scent to go! I guess that's how you become a savvy consumer...!

Now you’re thinking deviously, Detective. I wholeheartedly approve, though I would still encourage you to spend a little money in patronage.

W-wait a minute, pal! I don't mean to be devious!! I'm an upstanding member of society! Of course I'll do everything I can to keep that store floating!! I don't wanna wreck its economy or anything!!

Good, good, Detective. I'm glad I can trust you to stay on the straight and narrow! It's a wonderful quality to have.

Of course it is, pal! In fact, I'd call it a basic quality that everyone should have! That's more or less what the law's about, after all!

Indeed it is, Detective. If everyone approached things like you, the world would be a far better place.

You really think so? Gee, thanks, pal! Then I hope that everyone else decides to take a walk in my shoes sometime!

Yes, exactly. Now go and treat yourself for it, Detective. You’re worth it.

Will do! Thanks for the tips, pal. I'm gonna live it up today!!
