Thunk! On number seven out of eight daily identifications, the tired merchant girl’s head fell onto the surface of her station. All… orders… done–! She cheered to herself, reveling in her victory against five inanimate sacks of equipment and consumables, then she shot up as the small vibration sent across the counter nudged an item off the edge.

No, no, no!! She dove and caught the precious glass vial before it could reach the ground. All that effort! Harriette, you are not going to screw anything up now!

“Hey? Are you–”

“–Eeeeeep!!”

Oh, Harriette, you idiot, you really didn’t notice the shop bell ringing? Now her customer would be forever stuck with that impression of her! Face flaming, An clutched the vial to her chest and jerked up so she wasn’t completely sprawled on her shop’s floor, but when she looked up-- she met a bandaged hand and a kind voice with a vein of familiarity, reaching down to her.

...?

Just a little, her grip on the uncommon loosened. 

“Up you go! Let’s just pretend that didn’t happen, okay?”

“…”

…

--An blinked.

“S-senpai!” A little carelessly, she tossed away the rapier she had identified while waiting for the girl to come by. That didn’t have the enhancements she wanted; it was going to junk later. “Sorry it took so long. Someone else came in with an order like yours and– and, you said I could…” She kind of sounded like she was making excuses, and she didn’t like it. So when she found no other words to say, she simply cast her gaze down at the weapons and consumables she had prepared. Awaiting judgment. “I, um, kept the scythe even though it just has damage enhancements. It looked like yours and I remember you saying you didn’t have a Tier 2 DMG weapon, so… I’ll, um. Junk sell it if you don’t want.”

She busied herself with setting up the transaction window for the col received from the junk sale.

“But, but! I like the sword! I hope you like it, too. Thank you very much for using my services!”

“Yeah!” A smile grew on her face as she thought, once again, of how well her voucher would fit into her equipment pieces. Maybe, this would make her feel strong. Maybe, she would start on the road to paying that pretty girl back for the huge favor she did her back then. “After this,” she mused. “I’ll finally – definitely – go on more quests. An actual quest. Every floor I’ve gone to so far was just for sightseeing.”

She rolled her snowball forward; her voice drifting away from her unlikely companion’s hearing in her effort to finish the snow construct’s base. “Do you think Aincrad still has more secrets left to be discovered? Even after all these years?” she asked, genuinely curious. An stopped periodically, patting the snowball down on all sides to ensure it remained firm, then changed her direction slightly and resumed her pushing. “I think it would be good if we learned as much as we can about this place we’re all stuck in, you know? Like… what if there’s a mechanic we missed because we weren’t looking hard enough? I-I mean…!” She shot up, face flushed red, looking over her shoulder to face Alkor as she quickly clarified. “Not saying any of the stronger players are ignoring this kind of stuff on purpose, I just want to know if–”

An pushed her snowball back to where Alkor was.

“If Aincrad has more to it than what we currently know.”

Right on time. To his question, An took a short moment to appraise the snowy sphere in front of the man. “A little more,” she concluded. “Around two-thirds of this–” she gave her own a gentle pat. “–and remember to pack the snow together so it holds firm. After that, um…”

She visualized a scenario where she would try to lift the snowman’s upper body herself, then topple over – in a manner entirely similar to the disasters she ran into while rearranging her shop. It wasn’t just her snowman now that Alkor was helping; there was much more to lose.

“Carefully lift it up and put it on top of mine.” Her decision voiced, she walked a step away from her snowball and plopped down on the snowy ground with a soft puff. Unexpectedly tiring; was it all the talking they did or was it SAO’s system lowering her stamina to an average? There was a mechanic like that… taught to her by someone her mind currently failed to recall. Instead of chasing the fleeing memory any further, An turned her head and filled in the silence with an inquiry that had been on her mind since the NPC appeared before them. “That Father Wuotan guy acted like he’d already met you. What gift did he give you?”

“Glad to hear it!” An exclaimed, sincerely relieved at his response. By the looks of her full health bar, she was fine too. “Hey, so, um…” With every moment of relative silence lapsed between the unlikely duo, her voice faltered until she quieted down entirely. He seemed to consider the area a little, and so did she, shivering in the same spot she’d earlier come to a stop in. In the low light of the cavern, the amateur player was suddenly hyper-aware of the soft repetitive echoes of water dripping from stalactites somewhere above… and the pool of water behind them still sloshing about… and of the smallest sounds whose sources she couldn’t identify. 

“W-we’re going to stick together!” she insisted, though the hesitation in her voice was only attributed to the unsettling quiet of her companion; any other instinctive fear she might’ve had was quelled by her own curiosity for what lay beyond the tunnel’s entrances. An inched forward, taking her place behind him. “So, um, can you move forward? I want to check out the one right in front of us.”

But he’d already made his decision. 

“Eh? That quick?!”

An waddled after him, shivering and feeling a bit inadequate.

“You must be good at this, senpai–!” Absolutely clueless, the girl smiled in admiration as they went further into the path he chose. “How did you tell? I couldn’t see anything from where we were standing earlier...”

Alright! 

The amateur player smiled to herself as she stood and dusted her skirt off. An was pretty happy with the amount she managed to gather within the buff’s duration, but while her [Detection] was still active, she didn’t pass up on the opportunity to find more. Unfortunately, her luck had finally reached its limit and any materials (or treasure chests? :0) eluded her and the girl finally deactivated her improved vision once she sensed a mild ache forming at the bridge of her nose – a side effect of straining too much.

An made sure everything was in order, then she skipped her way out of the [Garden]. She was careful to dodge any of the ant men that respawned during the duration of calm her rest had afforded within the area’s borders. Her daily identification attempts were finally going to see some use… she listed off, somewhat idly. And Arabelle would be receiving a nice report about the area she’d pointed out to her. Yea– that sounds nice!

As she finally reached the safe zone, An had the peculiar feeling she’d been in that [Garden] longer than she actually had.

04/30.

Well, lucky her, the remaining piles had been fewer than she thought!‌

Or maybe she was growing desensitized to it. At this point, eight identifications would feel like nothing. 

After a few days of nonstop appraisal, the merchant girl was confident to say that she’d done a good job with this load. Maybe even enough to redeem herself for last time? Two greatswords, forged of vastly differing steels (seriously, where had she even looted these? they looked like they belonged in entirely different areas), lay on her counter for whenever her customer wanted to come by and claim them, and she was proudest of the second. [Holy], [Accuracy], [Bleed], the divine weapon practically glowed underneath her iridescent light. 

Oh, and there was a scarf too. That was another Paralytic Immunity.

“Hello~!” An would pipe up when her customer arrived. She was in a noticeably brighter mood than usual, and she awaited comment eagerly as the other player took note of the results. “Here’s your junk sale too. It was a lot, but I'm really glad with how it turned out. Thank you for coming to Pandora's Wares!‌”

When the transaction was over, she turned back to her remaining work and felt the beginnings of a cold sweat.

Uh-oh...

All her fuss over that order and she'd barely gotten through Arabelle's.

04/26.

Pile one of three, done! The merchant girl actually cheered when the status window appeared for the last consumable and she slumped over her station, folding her arms one over the other. Her eyes fluttered shut, in a moment of respite she wanted to savor before she started back up on NIGHT's weapons. One out of eight daily identifications...

And suddenly, it was opening hours.

Red eyes flew open to the sudden darkness of her shop and she blindly reach out to tug at the string that switched her luminescent light bulb on. Oh no, oh crap, she didn't have the habit of locking her door in the afternoon, what if someone walked in to that sight? At the thought, she felt her face warm in embarrassment and she ran a hand through her ruffled hair.

It was lucky she had woken up when she did, because in came NIGHT a little while later to check on her progress.

Managing a very tired smile, An gestured to the consumables she'd arranged neatly on one of the shelves. "Hello! I'm done with everything -- and that, should be all of them. I hope." She knew she had to haul off an entire mess to clear out that shelf... but why couldn't she remember what was on it? Or where she placed them? Oh well-- An just wanted to bask in the accomplished feeling of finally finishing one of the sacks. "Please come by again next week for the weapons and armor. Oh, and the junk sale too. I always do that one last."

"Oh, right!"

An shot up in her seat, shocked to attention by her not-quite-customer's soft prompting. The two were close — enough for Arabelle to go through all that effort; and An was a personal witness to it. Anything beyond listening from her... felt like an intrusion. "Okay, here we go!" An took the gauntlet and nearly dropped it with a surprised squeak. She hastily lowered it back onto the table, rubbing her hands. Ow, ow, owww, hot!! "Mish, you were using this?"

"I wasn't," Mishiro stated. "Now you know why."

Golly...

"Are you okay?"

"I-I'm fine!" An insisted. But her poor worn station, she hoped it wouldn't be roasted to death before the night ended. It wasn't unbearable or 'painful,' she likened the sensation to holding something that was one Celsius away from being hot to a painful degree... if that made any sense. "I just need to tap it a liiitle bit and, there!" A window appeared between the three players and An blinked, confused. Only one slot of [Burn], just like hers. Why didn't Corrupted Legacy feel any similar? An was inclined to ask, but the expectant stares in both not-quite-customer's colorless eyes were enough to change her mind. "Alright, let's start off with... that."

She reached for the item Mishiro had tapped only to have Arabelle cut in and insist on another: a Favor just as shiny and golden as the others on the leftmost side. "Ah, sure. If that's what you want." An was unexpectedly quick to understand. She propped herself with her hands and bent forward over the counter, red eyes sparkling with excitement. "Like, gacha rituals! I used to roll only at midnight when I really wanted something in the summoning pool."

Her chattering was met with a blank stare.

"Gotch—a?"

"Oh... ahahahaha, don't uh..." Heat flooded her cheeks. She ducked her head and took Arabelle's chosen Favor. "That was, um, nothing. Don't mind me~..."

Well, she was rolling for a unique right in front of them, they did mind.

An selected an option. The Favor was consumed in a flash of pale blue light and as cracks spread across the virtual construct, breaking it down into shriveling fragments, the girl took her eyes off the sight and thought:

Arabelle's stare was piercing.

Remnant shards landed softly on the weapon and a status window displayed the result: [Freeze]. 

At the other side of the semi-transparent window, Arabelle smiled faintly. 

An felt a lump building in her throat. "I... I..."

"I'll take it."

"No," Arabelle decided. Amusement danced in her expression, for a reason the anxious merchant couldn't comprehend. "We have two more; it wouldn't kill us to make another attempt. But oh, let's get rid of that troublesome [Burn] slot too, alright? That is what's hindering you from using it."

The wielder of the armaments had the final say. Considering the enhancements thoughtfully, her decision came with a small nod. "Rerolling [Burn], I can agree with. But the third Favor goes to Arabelle. "

"Mish..."

"Nope, I own the Favors, ergo I have a large part of the final say! And Arabelle says, reroll [Freeze] with the third ticket."

An squirmed. "Can we reroll [Burn] first?"

"Please and thank you."

She slapped her cheeks and exhaled. Okay, Harriette. You're going to have better luck with this one. [Burn] needs to go off that weapon. "Oh, um," she awkwardly tapped the surfaces of the remaining two golden tickets. "Arabelle, you want to choose?"

"Hm?" The girl being asked tilted her head. "Just go with either. How about you, Shiro-chan? You might be the lucky girl today, pick something."

"It wouldn't change the outcome."

What happened to a 'special gut feeling?'

"Um, then I'll do it." Her anxiety was skyrocketing. There wasn't any elevating her choice above the level of a simple wild guess, but An wanted to get something good. Eenie meenie miney moe... her hand came down on the rightmost ticket and she slid it around the gauntlets and closer to her. "Here goes!"

A flash of light, brighter this time. Though the gauntlets' form never changed, the debilitating heat was gone and replaced by something... cold. Frigid ice and the aloof distance maintained by divines. On the status window flashed: [Holy].

Arabelle gasped. "Well, I wouldn't know... you were the little clover we've been looking past all this time!" she laughed, and it brought a smile of relief to An's face. Turning to face the less outspoken girl, she rocked her back and forth by the shoulder. "Shiro-chan, Shiiiro-chan~, come on, have a little life! Don't you know what you just got?"

"One of the most optimal enhancements for a DPS. I know," said Mishiro. Her expression softened when An's expectant stare met with hers. "That was a good pick. Thank you, An. Now we're using the third for Arabelle's—"

"Nope! I refuse."

"I still feel a litle bad for that first roll, so I think you should..."

"See? Even our merchant agrees."

"Our merchant doesn't know you still have a regular enhancement on your weapon," Mishiro shot back. She folded her arms and faced the girl, who even An thought was being strangely stubborn on this. "Mine already has uniques on all three slots, yours has an ACC enhancement you've been wanting to be rid of. Not only that, but you fight more than I do. I think it's clear who'd find better use of the Favor."

"Oh," Arabelle said with a blink. "Well, I got rid of that slot." 

"Eh? But you didn't—"

"I'm still loyal to you as always, An." — And the merchant felt her face instantly turn a bright red at the girl's casual remark. — "I used another item and gave myself a slot of [Burn]. We're even."

"That doesn't make you any less deserving. You said you would leave one for yourself."

"Only if you rolled something nice the first time."

The merchant cringed, but still, they kept going.

"And I'm telling you, I'm already satisfied with the result."

An kept her usual shopkeeper smile, very awkwardly, as both not-quite-customers refused to take the favor. Out of all the arguments she could have heard today... it was definitely not two friends wanting the other to use the precious item. Even she wouldn't call Arabelle a selfless person and she stood no benefit should the reroll not go to her, so she could only relate it to a close connection — that she could only wonder if she would be a part of.

"I'll sell it," the small purple-haired girl declared.

Mishiro looked at her in disbelief.

"Right. Because the item's technically mine, you can't force me to use it. And I've decided. If it goes to me, I'm auctioning it off for a couple hundred thousand col so I can finally buy my own house. It would be lovely to have a larger place to show off. Capiche?"

"W-wait!" An couldn't restrain herself from exclaiming. "You can't just sell something like that. It's the sort of thing that's better off being used!!"

"And where do you think I got these extra Favors from?"

"I mean, well, what other people did with it shouldn't matter..."

"Shiro-chan."

The player appeared in deep thought.

"It's alright." The onlooker blinked, almost surprised by the softness of Arabelle's voice. She went on, wearing a faint smile. "This is how I want to use the last Favor. So just take it, okay? I agreed with you paying me back later, remember?"

A lull. 

The verbal battle was winding down. Mishiro ended it all with her decision. "Alright. Please reroll [Freeze]," she requested with a finality. Then her eyes remained on the merchant as she picked up the last ticket. "I'm sorry you had to hear all this, An."

"It's okay!"

The last Favor disappeared in a blue flash. Brighter than the ones that they had seen before; all three players had to shield their eyes. A gust of wind burst outwards, ruffling flaps of cloth thrown over miscellaneous bundles in the shelves, displacing her potions, and blowing the rickety door open with a violence. When all the fanfare died down, An was the first to pry her eyes open to meet the sweet, sweet sight of a status window:

Another [Freeze].

 

Name: Thunderstorm [#142515]
Your Profession: Merchant
Your Rank: 4
Roll ID: 143699 | 143700 | 143701
Roll Result: 3 (BD: 10 | CD: 11) | 1 | 18
Item Type: 2-Handed Straight Sword
Tier: 1
Quality: Perfect
Enhancements: Accuracy | Paralytic Venom (Offensive) | Keen
Description: This purple-edged, two-pronged greatsword seems to be broken at first glance, a crack cutting down its edge to where its fuller meets black steel. However, a thin white fang seems to protrude slightly at the center, and it leaks of a familiar, stinging toxin that halts its foes where they stand. The grip is a tough mixture of edged dark metal, woven in with ribbons of crystalline red and white. Sharp edges all around; handle with care.

No... more... unidentifieds... *actual internal sob.*

Was what ran through the visibly frazzled merchant's head as the customer from before -- hadn't he given her things to appraise, too? her memory was a little foggy, but she took her time on his order -- entered the shop. Luckily, he was only interested in buying from her general stock. Relief washed over her expression. Yeah--! I can do that! "Sure thing," she told him. She managed a tired smile, she always smiled for her customers, that she remembered. "Wait there for a second."

Bloody hell, it was almost as if she'd gone through the dreaded grindy event herself!

Not long after she finished with her customer for the night, Arabelle came by and An figured it was just her intention to talk. They did, for a while, and they discussed their little plan of stashing all the uniques she identified in her shop and somehow making it a place where Arabelle could come and drop by items for her friends to pick up if she was too busy to meet them in person? Like, An was going to be a-- a... ugh, she forgot the word. Then her not-customer mentioned Mishiro.

An was starting to sweat. She wouldn't add onto that humongous pile in the corner, would she? Senpai, you're the best, but please please please I swear-- Three golden Easter vouchers. On the table. An's jaw dropped. "Wh-- Aren't these limited to one per person?! Arabelle, you're amazing!" All fatigue vanished from her mind as soon as she saw her own reflection on their shiny surfaces. Identifications, she could barely take now. But special identifications, where every attempt resulted in a unique? Of course it was a yes! Reinvigorated, the merchant pumped her fist and grinned. "Y-yeah, I'll do my best like always!"

The shop bell rang and in came a face she hadn't seen in a long while.

"Hello! Welcome to my shop, Mish!"

An politely made her way back to the counter as the other two girls who clearly knew each other very well conversed.

"Whenever you're ready!"

 

[fixture to Pandora's Wares.] 
-- but really, these compiled/traded paraphernalia are mere tidbits to the small establishment's entire hotchpotch of items.
-- no one really knows what the rest are for. not even the girl responsible for the mess.
    -- because she bloody forgot.

//i.e. Blake's megathread for trading between their characters and other miscellany.

04/23.

Status: Sobbing under a pile of unidentifieds.

 

Her new customer was... nice. His assurances at least put the anxious merchant at ease and she relaxed a little, seeing him off with a small wave.

And then in marched Arabelle.

Right, the Easter event was still up and running. An brought out the obnoxiously colorful pair of shoes and her favorite regular customer appraised them with a nod. She brought up the idea of having An store it, which she agreed to without much thought. "I know right? Ahahahaha... wait, bunnies?" She didn't receive any more of an explanation, just the usual transaction of unidentifieds and col. With a wave of her hand, one item manifested and then another and another... and another. Pretty soon, they could hardly see an inch of the counter's surface beneath.

She gulped.

"I-I—yeah!! Will do, Senpai!"

The newly ranked up merchant was seeing a long, long night ahead of her.
