[When the broadcast starts, it goes from silence to the immediate noise of two people screaming, punctuated by the sound of laser gunshots and mechanical whirring. It seems the device is on a side-table, giving a flat view of Ford and Alphys… perched on another table. Alphys is curled up, hands over her head, looking incredibly distressed, while Ford seems to be shooting at something off-camera.]

Oh m-my god, oh my god, we’re going to d-die here, I’m so s-sorry, I didn’t know they were all going to start...

Don’t worry! I happen to have excellent aim.

[All of a sudden, something takes a flying leap up onto the table, and Alphys yells as Ford shoots it down. The ensuing shot causes the device to fall over, revealing the floor is absolutely covered in knife wielding box tentacles, some with multiple arms, some with multiple knives, all running over each other and stabbing the floor, themselves, and the table. Alphys is still yelling. Ford is still shooting. It looks like an absolute catastrophe.]

Maybe we shouldn’t have prototyped them with the basic ability to learn--

Well it w-would have been fine if it was just, y-you know, one of them! They weren’t all supposed to turn on at the same time!

[Suddenly, Alphys turns her head and seems to notice the device, turning herself around and reaching out to grab it, bringing it in close to her and Ford.]

Uh, t-this is totally under control! No need to panic! I d-don’t, uhm, know how long this has been broadcasting, but, it’s f-fine! … And m-maybe don’t come to Ford’s room for, uhm, a little bit, for uh. Reasons.

Is that thing on? Uh, I mean-- Yes! Everything is absolutely, 100% under control. There is no need to worry about anythi-- [Ford cuts himself off and hisses.] Watch out, Alphys! I think it just tasted my blood!!

Oh g-god please don’t let that do anything new.

[And the device blinks off, cutting out the mechanical whirring sounds with it.]

I do not think they are bad! If you do not plan on destroying all of them, I would be happy to take a few off your hands for the right price.

[He can think of many wonderful uses for knife welding tentacles, strangely enough.]

[Ford pauses in his shooting spree to squint at his phone. "For the right price" huh?]

Your offer would be slightly more appealing if we didn't live in a mansion loaded with magic closets. Failed science experiments generally shouldn't be let loose amongst the public.

[You're going to have to imagine his smile Ford. Stupid mask and all.]

Certainly! But I am very careful with the items I receive as I do not intend to harm anyone. Incapable of it actually, ahha. But the items I sell are from my own world and carry wonderful abilities depending on if you need attack, defense or healing.

[Which either of them might need if the tentacles have their way.]

Incapable. What does that actually mean, though? And just what kind of items are we talking about? Technology? Magic? The marriage of both?

[He fires several times in a row.]

You'll have to pardon my questions but I like specifics.

[Consider Ford officially intrigued (it... doesn't take a lot).]

I am incapable of engaging you or anyone else in the fine art of combat. But I will talk fast as I do not want you to get stabbed while I giving you a tutorial.

[Because he can't sell squat if everybody's dead. Zacharie ducks out of the camera's view for the second it takes to swap masks.]

Magic in the case of my healing items and a few of the defensive equipment. As for the physical items they are baseball bats that are rather effective against specters. Or for actually playing the sport if you need it! I am also happy to give a demonstration of these items once you get things under control.

Baseball bats that are effective against specters, eh? [He likes both the cut of this person's jib, and also the effective usage of mysterious masks.]

I think we can work something out! Pending a satisfactory demonstration, of course.

Very useful if you happen to have an ectoplasmic incident on your hands. Or so my protagonist agrees! But once you are finished with target practice and everything is safely contained just give me a location and I will meet you there.

[And probably a hell of a lot faster than one would think.]

I should say it would be! Let's meet up in the front hall tomorrow morning. 11AM.

[ooc: WE CAN TIMESKIP AND JUST DO AN ACTION THREAD IF YOU WANT]

I will see you then.

[And one convenient timeskip later, Zacharie is hanging around the front hall at the exact time stated. He's pretty easy to spot, being the only resident to sport a mask and a backpack that looks like it's made out of pockets.

He'll wave Ford over once he spots him.]

Buenos días dear friend. How are we today?

[Ford can appreciate backpacks that are made out of pockets. He's actually considered attaching a pocket dimension to his coat before, but never had the time to settle down and build the equipment necessary (not until now).

He crosses over to this curious person with light caution.]

Good morning to you too. I'm fine, thank you. So... I'm here to see a demonstration of your products in the hopes for a potential trade. What exactly do you want to use one of those prototypes for, anyway? Just out of curiosity.

[He's lucky in the respect that it's pretty much a void in that backpack. Gotta love being the items merchant and having unlimited access to items from his game.]

Your curiosity is understandable but there is not much of a reason, ahaha. I am collecting items from this world as it is interesting. The protagonists here are all unique and I am certain that I will wind up with a completely different stock by the time this has ended!
