[b]Inside the tent was a store, obviously, generic wares lining the walls. Someone was walking past Tubbs as he walked in, a woman on the other side of the tent waving to them. She immediately noticed Tubbs, and began to walk over to him. She was wearing only overalls and a pair of goggles, the color unable to be seen at all for some reason, just the type of clothing. Her features were unable to be seen as well, just a bright smile she had. It was only then was the true nature of the tent was revealed.
It was a huge space, much bigger than it could have possibly been from the outside. It had hundreds upon thousands of objects inside it, all looking strange in their own right. There were thousands of creatures, along with many tech items, some being a collage of the two. For example, a warring faction of eyeballs and meatballs fighting each other by bumping into each other. Tubbs had stepped on one of the eyeballs, but it was reforming.
The woman would extend her hand to Tubbs.[/b]
“Welcome to my store! One of my first customers today! I am the Professor, great to have you here!”
[b]She had a light British accent, but it sounded cheery and inviting.[/b]

[spoiler]ONLY overalls and goggles ;)[/spoiler] He shook her hand. “You’re right, it probably is great to have me here.” He was looking around to see what she had, kind of ignoring her. [spoiler]not like walking around the store, just looking[/spoiler]

[b]There was a whole manner of bits and bobbles, thousands of them. There was miniature versions of gods, living versions of a lot of cartoon characters, a few glowing creatures, and etcetera. There was also a bunch of other things, like machines that did a bunch of functions. All of these were moving around, having free roam.[/b]

He saw the mini gods and had an amazing idea. “Do you have Ratatoskr? Preferably full sized since he’s a squirrel.”
-
“Yes, yes I do, actually! But he’s the size of the original folklore, not how media portrays him! Want me to go get him for you? Or you want to look around a little more! Remember, only one is free!”
-
“Hmmmm... now that I think about it... do you have like a mini Zeus I could carry around? Like he could sit on my shoulder and just zap people? And how much do all these cost after my free purchase?”
-
“Well, the first one’s free and only the first one! After that it all depends on what other stuff you get! Not gonna tell you what or how you pay until you’re checking out, that would ruin the surprise!”
-
“How big is the actual Ratatoskr again? Because I’m leaning on getting him.”
-
“About the size of a large toddler or something similar!”
-
“Hmmm, no squirrel sized versions?”
-
“I could make one!”
-
“Yes please! Also, what’s with the whole only wearing overalls thing? Not that I’m complaining but it’s pretty weird.”
-
“Oh, I don’t really need to wear clothes, so I just wear whatever’s comfortable! If nobody can see anything I don’t want them to in the first place, why bother covering it up with clothes? I could walk around naked and nobody would actually be able to really notice! It’d just look kinda blurry! Anyways, turn around please! I’ll have your squirrel-god up in a jiffy!”
-
“Turn around? Wait, how do you make these things?”
-
“Well, let’s just say it has something to do with a blood ritual!” [b]She giggles while saying this, like it was as normal as eating or drinking.[/b]
-
“Wait... are you gonna stab me in the back or something?”
-
“What? Not your blood, silly! Mine! You’ll see! Well... Actually, you won’t see it, but you’ll hear it! Definitely! Just turn around!”
-
“Ok...” He turns around.
-
[b]He hears a loud crunch, some loud squishing noises, and then a squirrel chirping.[/b] “Alright! You can turn around!”
-
He turns around “Didn’t that hurt?”
-
[b]Her entire left leg looked like ground meat, sinew with small bits of bone stringing it together. What he had requested was on the ground beside the woman, covered in blood and bits of bone that it was.[/b] “Nah! I’m alright!”
-
“...” He looked at Ratatoskr. “Come on... but... don’t touch me until you’re clean.”
-
[b]The squirrel god would stand next to Tubbs, saying nothing. The Professor would stand up shakily, with the help of a table.[/b]
-
“So... he’s free right?”
-
“Yep! Anything else you get needs to be paid for, though!”
-
“Paid for in what?”
