[Hello, citizens of Luceti. I hope you're all enjoying your daily routine. Picking up your lunch for the afternoon, or catching up on some reading by the fountain. Maybe even taking a trip to the item shop for some... window shopping.

Because you're not getting inside.

That's right. Anyone approaching the item shop will instantly notice the wagon in the doorway. A wagon holding a mountain of items so random that it would take some kind of evil genius to see how they all fit together. Or Pinkie Pie. You should probably suspect Pinkie Pie. The bubblegum-pink pony is happily darting from pile to pile, shelf to shelf, picking up and playing with just about everything she can get her hoofs on. Every once in a while, she'll gasp in excitement, before tossing an item onto her ever-growing mound.]

This is the best. Store. Ever!

Fun? Of course it is! [He was a man who was all but married to his job, and he'd have it no other way.] It takes me to all kinds of new and exciting places, and sends me out looking for unique things.

Like right now, I'm looking for a very specific board game...and I think it's in this shop somewhere.

[brokethefourthwall]

A board game, huh?

[She taps a hoof to her chin. Did she find any board games?]

I'll help you find it!

[redjacketthief]

Sure, but...

I don't even know what it looks like.

[brokethefourthwall]

Well that's silly! How do you find something if you don't know what to look for?

[redjacketthief]

Well, I know it's a strategy board game, and I know it's called Go, but that's all I know about it.

...you wouldn't know anything, would you?

[brokethefourthwall]

...Nope!

[redjacketthief]

Hmm...

[That wasn't very reassuring.]

[brokethefourthwall]

But that doesn't mean it isn't here! I bet with the two of us looking together, there isn't anything we can't find!

[redjacketthief]

...We can't look if I can't get by.

[brokethefourthwall]

Oh! Whoops!

[She giggles playfully, eyeing the large pile.]

Uhhh...

[redjacketthief]

Uhhh...yeah. We're not going to have much luck at this rate.

[brokethefourthwall]

Nope! We're stuck! [Giggle.]

[redjacketthief]

[But he needed to get in there...]

Is there a way to move your collection out of the way?

[brokethefourthwall]

Hm... there's always magic! Do monkeys know any magic?

[redjacketthief]

...I don't know, what's a monkey?

[brokethefourthwall]

...Isn't that what you are?

[redjacketthief]

No, I'm a human.

[brokethefourthwall]

...Are you sure?

[redjacketthief]

Very sure. It's how I was raised, and everyone else from my world that look kind of like me call themselves human.

[brokethefourthwall]

Well that explains it! We don't have any hue-mans in my world~!

[redjacketthief]

And...what kind of world is that?

[brokethefourthwall]

Equestria, of course! But I'm from a little town called "Ponyville"~.

[redjacketthief]

Ponyville, huh? [A Ville of Ponys...]

I take it that you're a Pony then?

[brokethefourthwall]

How'd you guess? [Giggle.]

[redjacketthief]

I got lucky. Ponyville sounds like it would be full of ponys and only ponys.
