Shop is Closed

//Going to go lie down. I might come back on later, but it's rather late... I'll try to continue my threads when I come back.

He looked at the door, "I'm afraid that won't do." he said, slight awkwardness in his voice. "Bells work as our towns currency. I should be able to provide basic shelter for a night..." he said, pausing as he thought about costs "... But it would require say 3... 4.. thousand bells? 3,500 I'd say for nights worth of shelter and food...

"You see, our town doesn't actually have temporary shelter built. We'll have to build it as an extension of our town buildings. There should be some spare space near the back of the train station, however of course some basic construction will be required."

He walked up, close to the girl, walking around her a couple of times. "But a girl like you, able to walk such extensive distances. Clearly, you are physically able to make a few bells." he said, looking a the schedule. "Ah, but it appears most of our stock is already overflowing for most produce found in town...." he said, staring at her again. "You could perhaps sell a personal belonging of yours? Or, of course... you should always take out a loan..."

The doors sliding open could be heard amongst the store, at the entrance, a young lady stood firmly, her gaze curiously wandering about the store. "Pardon me, but, is anyone in here?"

Such a slow day for the shop. Tom was delighted to hear the door open and the bells ring. He, for just a moment, peaked around the corner, before walking out. “A customer? I don’t believe I’ve seen your face before. Are you new here?” he asks, quickly preparing himself for whatever kind of business she had in the store.

Such a bizarre looking customer, and the fact that she has what appears to be a weapon wasn’t helping but give a worrisome vibe to Nook. With a slight signal to the twins, who had gone unseen, they quietly stood by the door. “Where are my manners, welcome to our store, is there anything I can help you with? We deal in all sorts of trade, be it tools to shelter.”

[nook-and-nephews]

Tom looked up in shock. He walked over, suspicious as to what caused the sound. When he saw the shelf, he looked around, until he noticed the gray shape moving around.

"My, I've never seen you around here..." he said, with a slight look of distrust on his face. "If you wanted to look at a rug, you should have told one of us employees..." he said, as the twins slowly walked behind Nook. He looked around, perceptive as ever, he noticed the odd trail of snow he had trailed in, going from cover to cover before it being shaken off. Plus, wouldn't the bell have alerted them normally? He would have had to open the door very carefully...

The twins walked up, picking up the fallen merchandise. One of them spoke up, "You need to be more careful.... You break it, you buy it...."

Tom was too suspicious to stand idly by, so he also approached him. "Well, a customer is a customer" he said, the slightest hint of doubt as he said it. "Nothing seems too damaged, shall we roll the rug up, and send it to checkout? It would definitely help given the cold weather..."

Lack of a Get-a-Way [Closed RP with substitute101]

Shivers ran down the tanuki’s spine, it was far too cold. But closing down the store, especially at a time like this, could make him lose out on great profits. Snow had been falling for days, and the ground was completely covered over. People had come in and out, buying anything and everything for the unexpected snowstorm. Be it warmth, food, one man even paid to shovel out the snow around his house. But for a few hours now, the store seemed quiet.

Nobody had come in, nothing had gone wrong. The twins went about, taking stock, and Nook sat making sure all of the bells were accounted for. Perhaps it was because of this that their guard was down. For the Nooks had done the unthinkable, as they didn’t even notice as someone entered the store…

[nook-and-nephews]

Tom looked at his Atlus, looking for Shinjuku. "Tokyo huh? It does ring a Bell, but if I recall, it's quite a bit south of here. It should have definitely been too far to walk...." he said, with a concerned expression on his face. Perhaps he was being hyperbolic, business men have been known to do so. He turned to her, "Speaking of Bells, it appears you are going to need to spend at least the night in our village. Might I ask if you have any bells with you?" he said, aware that Tokyo didn't have any economic value in the bell, and that few even knew that any place considered them a currency.

This one seemed a little odd. She seemed to have trouble finishing her sentences. Perhaps one who is easily distracted? It seemed so. He cleared his throat, "Well, our village is quite distant from other places. Most inhabitants get around via bus or train. I should be able to provide directions to wherever you are heading... however...." he said, as he kept his calm expression, a sly look appearing on the small twins. "I'm afraid the train doesn't run this late, and it's going to be doing maintenance tomorrow. It appears you'll be stuck here for a little while."

The tanuki walked towards the girl, hand tapping his chin in thought. "But you got here, so you seem capable enough. Where exactly are you trying to go?" he asked, setting himself up for responses.

The tanuki looked at the odd marshmallow man, in a bit of confusion. Well, if he had a published book, he must have plenty of bells, he walked to the man, "Ah, sorry, we exchange display everyday. If I can get your name, I can check our catalog and stock, see if we have it." he said, apologetically.

Tom stood there, his hands held behind his back, Timmy and Tommy standing behind them. “Oh, customers, please come in, and take a look around!” he said, the young employees nodding in agreement.

[nook-and-nephews]

"Ah, of course, I'm Tom Nook, its very nice to meet you, I look forward to doing business with you in the future. Please tell me if your ever looking for work." he said, eyes gaining a slightly creepy stair. Bagging the produce, he turns to the man, "Here you go, I hope to see you in here again some other time." he said, his regular business smile returning.

"I see well for the time being i have about 900 bells so ill take that sea bass and 6 peaches" after he finishes his request he smiles "and as for housing it is fine i live in an apartment and i have no wish for a real house as of this moment but thank you for the kind offer mr..... o my where are my manners i didt get your name but i suppose i should introduce my self first i am Liam walker pleased to meet you"

"Sorry, we're closed" [Closed Starter with thoseablesisters]

The two hadn't talked much since he returned from the big city, Nook, and his old friend Sable sat there, it was hard for him to say anything, but she never really said much anyways. He looked at her, and it came back to him. All those times, before his life in the city. The pure nature his life had before the city changed him. Before his dreams were crushed by the hard wall of reality.

They sat there, as the warm august air surrounded them, the sounds of the fireworks, cracking the sky as the lights dissipated into nothing. As if every flash sent him back, to the time before, to the time in the city, and the time he could finally return. He couldn't help, but as he tried to speak, choke on his own words, what was he to say to her? The words weren't there for him, he could sell just about anything with his silver tongue, but nothing came to mind. So they continued, sitting there. He knew this might happen, Timmy and Tommy were tucked in bed, as the two other Able sisters had wondered off somewhere.

It was so hard to believe how things had changed, she was his best friends, and yet years have gone by, they were practically strangers, both very different people. Himself especially, after all he had to go through. But what about her? What did she have to go through? Nobody else ever visited her like he did, it must have been lonely. Nobody else talked to her like he used to, it must have been quiet...

The silence between them was killing him, what could he say? He couldn't apologize after all this time of avoiding her. And he couldn't ask about anything they used to do. But, he didn't know her now. How was she? The store? Her interests? They all must have changed in this time. The time that had only widened the gap between them. He tried his best, pushing as hard as he could, nothing came to mind...

"S-So, Sable... It's been, quite some time since we've talked huh?..." he asked, barely able to get the words out...

Meister-of-the-Dead has entered the store!

The tanuki turned his head to the girl who had found her way into his store. There had been quite a few people in the store today, he put on his slightly off smile, "Hello miss! Welcome to our store."

[nook-and-nephews]

"Well, we can give you a whole seabass for a measly 300 bells!" ((Approx. 300 yen or 3 USD)) he said with his special voice that came whenever he was doing a sales pitch. "And you don't live here? That's sad, do you live anywhere at the moment? If not I could sell you a house you can pay me back whenever...." he said, Timmy and Tommy coming back from the desk with some paperwork. "Along with that, I can give you fruit for cheap as well! Our native Peaches are only 100 bells, and we have fruits of all shapes and sizes, even the most exotic fruit for only 500 bells, plus, we have just the most perfect peaches for only 600 bells!"

Tom nook wound up pitching so much produce without breathing, he was a little out of breath. "You won't find any other store with cheaper prices in many miles. You won't find other stores for many miles. I made sure of that." he said. He looked at the man, the tiny tanukis blocking the exit secretly. "So, have any other questions?"

"ah i apologize for my rudeness" he bows in apology "and yes i am new to the area but i do not live here. I'm trying to find a store that can sell goods at a reasonable price" chuckling awkwardly "funds have been hard to come by recently so if i may ask what are your rates on the fish and fruits? i wish to know if i have enough to patron this store"

[nook-and-nephews]

"I sell many things" Nook answered, "Food, Tools, Furniture, houses and plenty of other things. I mainly sell the food we make here in town to the city. Some times people who want to make some money pick fruit and catch fish and sell them to me." he continued, "And I understand a lot of people aren't familiar with talking animals. While I can't answer how I can talk, I ask that you will give me proper respect as the owner of this establishment." he said, taking a light offense from his words.

"So tell me, are you new in town?" he asked to the odd man...

Liam walks in further to the store browsing around “you have some great wears but im curious well about two things one: do you have food products? and pardon my rudeness but how can raccoon’s talk? where im from it is not a common occurrence” as he talks he raises his head to look at the owners of the establishment.

[nook-and-nephews]

Nook looked at the girl, "Well, you're in our shop!" he said, bending his knees to get closer to the small girls height. Timmy and Tommy walking from behind him, "We sell all sorts of stuff here!" they said in sync. Nook looked at the girl, "Where is your mother? You aren't here alone are you?"

Tom stood there, his hands held behind his back, Timmy and Tommy standing behind them. “Oh, customers, please come in, and take a look around!” he said, the young employees nodding in agreement.

The man shifted his attention to the odd girl, very strong looking, and with pigtails, he stood up before giving his regular "Welcome to our store" he said, he didn't know where Timmy and Tommy were at the moment, instead paying attention to a customer. They would show there heads eventually. "Please, come and look around."
