Rereading her last message, Duke was now even more sure that she was asking for them to meet up. At that realization, his palms already began to get sweaty, a small nerves tick he happens to get whenever it came to meeting anyone outside of his usual known group. Get a grip! It’s not like she was asking to meet so they can get with each other or anything! She’s literally offering to help! And if doing so in person could make his bad luck go away then…

[ message from buyer ] xxx-xxx-xxxx

[ message from buyer ] That’s my number. I’ll try my best to explain more over there.

[ message from buyer ] Oh yeah, and sorry for clogging up your messages on here. But also, thanks for reaching out. I know I’m probably not making much sense, but you reaching out and wanting to help does mean a lot to me. 

[bonniean]

[ message from seller ] Don’t worry about it! I just want my customers to be happy with their orders.

After sending the last message, Bonnie pulled out her phone and typed in the number the customer had provided, drafting a new message to send and ignoring the feeling that this was bad internet safety one-oh-one. Her curiosity and desire to leave no customer unsatisfied outweighed her self-preservation instinct, apparently. But even if this stranger turned out to be some creep, she could take care of herself.

[ text ] Hi, this is the shop owner of Bon-Bon Charms! Do you want to tell me a little more about the situations you’ve had bad luck with?

[losttwinduke]

Right after he pressed ‘sent’, Duke immediately slapped himself against the forehead. “Stupid! Why did you mention the coffee machine part?” He berated himself, thankful to be in his room and away from the prying ears of his brothers. Not like it mattered, Tootles wasn’t home and Nibs was also out hanging with Miriam again, and as for Benji? Duke honestly had gotten so distracted to remember if his twin was still home or not. Should he try and take back what he said? What if she didn’t want to help him anymore thanks to his stupidity? But just as he was about to try messaging her again, she responded! “She wants to meet up?” Did he read that message right? Duke re-read it a second time over and blinked. She is suggesting for them to meet! But would doing so actually help?

[ message from buyer ] You think we should meet up? Would meeting in person really help with all my bad luck?

[bonniean]

If there was something more at play than simple bad luck, then it was very possible this customer had been cursed somehow...but that wasn’t something Bonnie wanted to tell him in the chat for fear it would freak him out. He already had to be on edge from his lack of luck lately and didn’t need to hear that his misfortune might actually be due to a hex. There was something to be said about time and place. Bonnie pursed her lips, weighing the situation before typing another message.

[ message from seller] It’s not that I necessarily think we should meet with strangers off the internet…but yes, it might help.

[ message from seller ] I can’t make any promises, but I do know for sure that I won’t be able to figure out what’s going on if we don’t meet in person. Maybe we could text and you could tell me more about your situation in detail first.

[losttwinduke]

[ message from buyer ] They’re supposed to last for a very long time unless they absorbed a large amount of bad luck? Great, so I am the reason to why the charm hasn’t been working lately. 

[ message from buyer ] What? No, you don’t have to do any of that! If a large amount of bad luck is the reason for the charm not working, then none of this is your fault! I’m just the defective buyer who all your hard work had the misfortune of going to, so no need to refund me anything!

[ message from buyer ] And I don’t know, maybe it’s all just me, but nearly everything I’ve been doing hasn’t been going well. I work at a temp place with one of my brothers, but everything I do there something ends up going wrong. Last week alone, I tried cooking ramen inside a coffee cup because it’s supposed to boil water, you know? and I need boiled water to soften the noodles! But instead I ended up breaking the coffee cup and was forced to take out some of my own pay check for it. But that’s not even the worst of what’s happened lately because that was all me and trying to be clever with my ideas. The worst of my bad luck lately has to do with my constant run in with this girl and me always angering her even though everything I’ve done as been an accident! But she never believes me!

[bonniean]

Bonnie frowned at her screen, trying to analyze the customer’s situation from a magical perspective. In her opinion, the coffee maker situation didn’t sound like bad luck—it just sounded like he had done something careless and paid the consequence. A lucky charm wasn’t a cure for the user’s own stupidity, just for actual fortune-based circumstances. But it sounded like his other dilemma, this thing with the girl, might actually have something to do with his unluckiness. If accidents kept happening around this person and making it hard for him to explain that he didn’t mean any harm, that was exactly the kind of thing her charms were supposed to help with: chance encounters. Bonnie started typing back.

[ message from seller ] It sounds like there might be something stronger than a natural leaning toward bad luck going on. However, it’s hard to get a magical read through online messages. I don’t want to suggest meeting up in person to a stranger, of course, but it would be easier to find out what’s going on with you if so. I’m sorry, I’m not sure what else I can offer besides giving the refund and replacement small charms. Larger blessings would also need to be done in person.

[losttwinduke]

[ message from buyer ] You notice when people buy more from your shop? Are we not supposed to? Wait, sorry, I meant to say hey back! Hi! And yeah, I was happy with my first charm! It worked really well once I got it! But I don’t know if the one I originally bought was defective or didn’t have much juice to it because it didn’t work as well today. NOT THAT I AM SAYING YOUR CHARMS WERE BADLY MADE! Because they’re not! That’s why I bought a second one, because maybe I just need two in order to shake off all the bad luck I've been having!

[bonniean]

[ message from seller ] I'm very grateful for repeat customers! But I'm sorry to hear your first charm didn't last long, they should usually last for a very long time. Unless they absorb a large amount of bad luck in a short time, then they won't be able to be as effective...And you really shouldn't need more than one per person for the luck charm to work, though at first i thought you might be buying another for a friend or just because it's cute, even if you already got one before.

[ message from seller ] Do you mind telling me a little more about the bad luck you've been having, if it's not too personal to ask? I've never had a problem with one of my charms malfunctioning before so that's why i'm wondering if it was an issue with the magic or outside circumstance...Either way I'll refund you for the original order and include some bonuses in this package to make up for it!
