He did it! Finally, he owns this place. Yeah, sure, hes in debt now, but he can make it back easily enough! He was buzzing with excitement, rearranging the shop and setting it up to his own tastes. He’d be able to put all his work on display without anyone having him take anything down.
Now, all he’d have to do is open for business and get some advertizing done… Maybe a sign? A sign would be good. He checked the back room, finding a standing sign with chalk and wrote down what he wanted.
New Owners! Blacksmith Meanderer is Open for Business! Custom weapons and accessories! ★
That should do it!! He set it outside, flipped the sign on the door, and retreated inside to start doing some work. Later he’d work on some flyers to hand out or hang up…
Alice really tried to avoid being in Arcadia more than she had to, but running a ‘charitable foundation’ from the island meant she had to visit more often than she’d like for silly things like ‘business meetings’ and ‘signing important paperwork for the legal team so that the foundation doesn’t get closed down’ and the like.
Whilst the CEO was muttering under her breath about how horrible everything on the island was she spotted it: ‘New Owners!’ - the blacksmith was under new ownership. Perhaps a first time business owner, perhaps the perfect person to be taken under the wing of The Funland Foundation, thus helping Alice raise the company profile, and her bank balance.
Alice walked through the door, immediately noting how dusty and... Well, disgusting, the place was. People really were okay with this? She held back a sneer, instead clearing her throat and putting on a smile. “Hello?” She called, “Is anyone here? I wanted to meet the new owner of this, uh...” She paused, “Store.”
Goddess.
It was hard work being nice.
