[Rin Kagamine]

> "Oh don't worry, that's fine."
> Set backpack on floor and hold out arms in a Rumia pose.  Turn all the way around and face the boss again.  Keep arms outstretched.
> "I've been wondering if this outfit makes me look like I'm trying too hard, what do you think?  I don't want to seem like I'm only good for my sex appeal, does this outfit convey that?"

>"The clothes look fine," says the boss, with an encouraging smile. "I bet people say it because they think you're a kept woman. But that's because they don't know you very well, nobody really knows the bamboo forest people that well, we only get to see most of you when there's an exhibit of neat moon stuff there."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "Is that so?"
> Put arms down and put backpack back on.
> "Thank you for those kind words, I think you have a good point there."
> "For now though, I really must be going.  Thanks again!"
> Leave The Felt and head back to Nue's.

> Leave The Felt and head back to Nue's.

>"It is so," she agrees as you slip your Dark Blue Backpack on.
>"You're welcome!" says the boss, as you leave.
>You leave the Felt, noting that the Prismrivers are doing things onstage that you're pretty sure are preparations for the next act.
>Returning to the Rose and Marmot, you find it is slightly busier than before, insomuch as Nue is actually serving a drink to someone when you enter. "Hello, " she says as you enter.

[Rin Kagamine]

> Observe new patron.
> Observe Nue.
> "I checked it out, and I've got an idea of who the owner is, but I'm not 100% sure yet.  What do you want to know about that place?"

[Hello Purvis]

> Observe new patron.
> Observe Nue.
> "I checked it out, and I've got an idea of who the owner is, but I'm not 100% sure yet.  What do you want to know about that place?"

>The new patron is some oni. You don't know who she is, but you're sure she's not Suika or Yuugi, so she's probably nobody important.
>Nue looks more or less like she did when you left her. That is, fairly bored and tired. She has a sizable yawn while you examine her.
>"Who the boss is, I suppose," says Nue. "I've been inside, and not seen anything weird. Although if you have some evidence they're up to something sneaky, I've love to see it and get rid of the competition."

>_

[Serela]

>"Nope, nothing sneaky seems to be going on."
>There isn't any reason we don't want to tell her its Rumia, right? I noticed the last person didn't say it was, although we're basically 100% positive it is. If we aren't not telling her on purpose then,
>"By the way, the owner actually seems to be Rumia. Unless she's just an image to cover up for the real owner, but considering no one even knows its HER, I doubt that... she sure looks stunning in her new clothes."

>"...Rumia?" says Nue. "You mean short girl, blonde with the ribbon, about yea high-" she holds a hand at her shoulder, which would be the proper height "-says "Is that so?" a lot, cute as a button dumb as a brick Rumia? Well...I guess that explains why no one saw through the disguise. But really? No fooling?"

[Serela]

>"No fooling. I was surprised too... it might not have been possible if it weren't for that stuff she has on. It looks incredible. Still, I have no idea how she managed to open such a place."

[Rin Kagamine]

> "But keep in mind, I never got a name out of her, so I'm not 100% sure.  And she had on this ridiculous fake mustache, so I couldn't be visually sure either.  Still, I'd say 99% sure it's her."
> "What are you planning to do anyway?"

> "What are you planning to do anyway?"

>Nue nods. "If you say so..."
>"I don't know, really. Um, I guess it's nice to put a pace on the competition. Just...Rumia? Yeesh."

>_

[Rin Kagamine]

> "You have a problem with Rumia?"

[Serela]

>It is pretty embarrassing when you're being outclassed by someone like RUMIA. She is, as Nue said, "dumb as a brick".

[Kuma]

> Offer that instead of trying to destroy the competition she could Join them or something

[Thaws]

>Buy a drink.

[Janitor Morgan]

>Buy a drink.

> A non-alcoholic one, at that.

[Hello Purvis]

> "You have a problem with Rumia?"

>"Not a problem so much as dumbfounded," Nue says, frowning. "It'd be like hearing, I dunno...Chen taking over the Moriya Shrine or something."

>It is pretty embarrassing when you're being outclassed by someone like RUMIA. She is, as Nue said, "dumb as a brick".

>You figure this is a less polite version of what she just said.

> Offer that instead of trying to destroy the competition she could Join them or something

>"No really good way to do that, though," says Nue, stifling another yawn. "Not like I have anything she doesn't, and I'm sure as hell not going to abandon this place to work for her"

>Buy a drink.

> A non-alcoholic one, at that.

>Feeling a bit sorry for Nue, and a bit thirsty, you ask her to to surprise you with something soft. She gives you a Glass of Carrot Juice. On one hand, you feel a little stereotyped. On the other hand, you do love the stuff.
>You obtain: Glass of Carrot Juice
>"That'll be 10☼," says Nue.

[Thaws]

[Hello Purvis]

[Rin Kagamine]

> "So, is that all you needed me for?"

[Hello Purvis]

>"I guess so," says Nue, "unless you got more questions about the whole UFO thing?"

encountering it often.

[Rin Kagamine]

> "What will you take for Candid Friend or Green-Eyed Jealousy?"

[Hello Purvis]

> "What will you take for Candid Friend or Green-Eyed Jealousy?"

>Rinnosuke considers your inventory. "Hmm. You don't have a lot of things of equivalent value that you haven't already bought from me. I could accept the Silver Necklace for one of them. And, since you've been a good customer today, I suppose I can accept 300☼ for one this once."

[Rin Kagamine]

> Examine Silver Necklace

[Hello Purvis]

> Examine Silver Necklace

>Silver Necklace
>A simple, unadorned silver necklace. It seems like an understated accessory.
