video; un egyptologist - evening of 19 October

[egyptologist]

[ Oh hello, it's your friendly neighborhood egyptologist slash mummy hunter tuning in. Evelyn's hair is windswept and framing her face, cheeks pink from what is prooobably either whiskey or wine. She's tired of visions and migraines and soul crushing loneliness and has thrown herself into re-establishing her shop.

She's sat at one of the little tables in the back by the fireplace, the culprit of her pink cheeked, rosy glow sat on the table next to her. She's got her little device propped up against a book to properly frame her. ]

Hello, fellow residents. I just wanted to let you know that my bookshop, Spellbound Book Co., is open once more. By all means, please come in any time, have a look around.

[ She leans back in her chair, a little roughly, picks up her tumbler - the question is answered, it's whatever passes for whiskey - and smiles. ]

Who else has a business here? Let's all discuss our business endeavors, feel free to chat amongst yourselves.

[ Is she drunk? Maybe a little. ]

I do, actually! I have a whole section on just such a thing, if you'd like to come take a look.

Once I realized mushrooms were such a commodity, I made sure to stock the shelves with the information that was available.

This is good to hear.

It is little wonder mushrooms are a staple in such a gloomy and damp place; I expect there are going to be some rather unique varieties.

[egyptologist]

There are far more than I realized. Would you like me to set aside a few books and pamphlets for you?

[meds4sale]

Yes. That would be most kind, thank you. I am particularly interested in such things with medicinal properties, but any texts detailing those that are edible or particularly dangerous would hardly go amiss as well.

[egyptologist]

I'll see what I can rustle up for you. I've been taking some notes as well, since mushrooms seem to be such a popular choice for nutrition around here. I can include that, as well if you'd like.

[meds4sale]

I would appreciate it; likewise I have been collecting my own notes on local flora. It is not much yet, but I would be happy to share.

[egyptologist]

Lovely. And what is your name, so that I might make a memo?

[ She's got holds for different people, and wouldn't want to mix them up. ]

[meds4sale]

[ Ah, the name thing. It's going to be a perpetual sticking point isn't it? He's never really been in one place long enough for it to matter. ]

Kusuriuri is fine if you need such a thing.
