2 Credits [Text]

[catinthemask]

Another day, another event. It seems Wonderland is determined to remind me that I am short as both an adult and a child. Perhaps the next one could involve stilts of some sort. That being said, I apologize for anything strange I may have said.

[Because clearly that's the only thing to address here. Regardless, Zacharie moves on.]

My personal thoughts aside, I have noticed we have a few new faces! Welcome to Wonderland friends. I'm Zacharie, the traditional items merchant. I sell a variety of useful items and equipment for you protagonist types and I take trades, information and actual money if you have it as payment. Feel free to browse and I will be happy to help you with anything you may need.

[And here's his list! Enjoy all the video game lingo. He's just going to wait for any questions he might receive.]

Comments

[Video] I'm canonblind but always been intrigued! ^^;

[ghflskhu_ph]

"PROTAGONIST TYPES only, huh? How do you go about picking THOSE out?"

[Why yes, the dream demon will answer in video to your typed response. Bill cares not for your choices, Bill does what he wants! A triangle in a bowtie pops up on Zacharie's communicator, unannounced. he twirls his cane absentmindedly.]

"FOLLOW the SOUND of FRIENDSHIP and MISGUIDED SELF-LESSNESS?"

Excellent :D

[catinthemask]

[Now that's certainly an interesting trick! Color Zacharie interested. He'll continue texting but if Bill can see him, Zacharie's just a guy in a mask.]

While those subjects are possible in a protagonist's daily life, things like death and danger may also count. Which is where I come in! But I count all of you as them, so there is no exclusions.

[Can't make any deals if he makes exclusions. NPC merchant and all.]

:3 <3

[ghflskhu_ph]

"You think I'M a--"

[Bill bursts out laughing. Even if we were taking away the good verses evil alignment of the argument, the idea of being a protagonist was just incredulous.]

"Ho- OH BUDDY, you do NOT KNOW ME!"

[The end boss or a particular assholish narrator maybe; but Bill's fairly certain no game would ever be won if the villain was able to purchase the same upgrades as the hero. He wipes a tear from his eye.]

"Aaaanyway HOW'S BUSINESS, CAT-MASK? I'm SOMETHING of a MERCHANT MYSELF. HAD a lot of BUYERS?"

[catinthemask]

[Considering the hero of his game could be considered the villain depending on how you look at it and Zacharie doesn't give two shits about selling him stuff? It's fine. But we can roll with either the End Boss or Unreliable Narrator.]

Quite a number, actually! It's sad that there is no money here but information or physical objects are quite a treat. I may wind up with an entirely new stock by the end of this.

And yourself?

[ghflskhu_ph]

"I've made my FAIR SHARE of LUCRATIVE DEALS, yeah. A couple MEMORIES returned here, a BODY STOLEN there. That's ONE thing I'll give WONDERLAND, now MONETARY VALUE'S out of the picture, people are PREPARED to OFFER MUCH more INTERESTING things for the sake of a GOOD BARGAIN."

[He made off with some great profits quite recently too~]

"Like to trade in INTEL, EH? We might be able to WORK SOMETHING OUT. What KIND of INFO you LOOKING FOR?"

[determinedest]

Were you lost too?

[They imagine he must have been. He wouldn't have mentioned being a child otherwise.]

text

[catinthemask]

It seems so. Although I must question Wonderland's choices in that matter.

[He wasn't particularly stimulating as a child, in his own opinion.]

And yourself?

text

[determinedest]

Me too.

[Though unlike him, they know very well why they were Lost. Why they heard the music in the first place.]

I didn't like it.

text

[catinthemask]

I do not believe any of us did, amigo. Some matters should be left alone.

[He woke up when it all was over, realized a few things he had said and just...rolled over. Not thinking about it until he wakes up again.]

Did you remain out of harm's way?

text

[determinedest]

I did. But I hurt other people. I hurt them badly.

[Oh god, Ford...

Did everything go back - is he okay now? Did Wonderland restore his arm with itself? Should they check? They - they almost don't dare check. He wouldn't want anything more to do with them, would he?]

[punful]

bet i'm shorter.

text

[catinthemask]

I will be happy to get out a measuring stick to settle that bet. How did you fair during this event, dear friend?

text

[punful]

oh you know, about as well as anyone else.

so what's your height?

text

[catinthemask]

[He's happy to leave mentions of the event at that, so no digging.]

There is no official number I can give you as concept art does not list it, but I believe I am five something. Shorter than my protagonist at any rate.

[Shorter than Sugar but that was less of an issue.]

text

[punful]

[He has no idea what Zacharie means by concept art, but he always tries not to think too hard about the random stuff the guy says. It, uh. Makes his skull feel fuzzy if he tries.]

i think i win. i'm less than five.

[naughty_nurse]

Zacharie.

I'm Mikan Tsumiki. I wanted to thank you for being so nice to me.

text

[catinthemask]

Buenos días, dear Mikan. There is no need to thank me as I enjoyed your company as well. Did you fair well during the rest of the event?

text

[naughty_nurse]

I got hit in the head with a rock but it was only fair because I was actively trying to hurt people.

text

[catinthemask]

[...ow.]

Blunt force trauma is never something I wish on people. I sell somethings that help with the resulting headache, if you are interested?

text

[naughty_nurse]

Thank you very much but I'm okay! It was a minor wound. And despite how I was acting I actually am a nurse.

text

[battlefront]

...'protagonist types'?

[Oh god it's the Tutorial Room all over again.]

text

[catinthemask]

[Welcome back buddy!]

The type of people who go on wonderful journeys filled with friendship, hope, life lessons and possibly serious injury and death. I'm here to help the last two hopefully not happen!

See anything interesting amigo?

text

[battlefront]

So you're... a medic?? Medic merchant. Or. Uh.

Maybe I shouldn't ask.

What... is all this stuff?

text

[catinthemask]

Just a merchant.

Various equipment and items that can deal attack damage or heal either HP or status effects. If there is something that catches your eye I will be happy to explain it in detail.

[He also sells eyes, if you need that too.]

[battlefront]

[listen chum pal buddy]

Didn't think a place like this needed any kind of economy, but alright.

...the bats are pretty cool, though.

[Read: it's the only thing he can make sense of on this list.]
