A white sweater arm waves down the other, belonging to a rather jovial man sitting cross-legged on a tarp. Spread in front of him are strange-looking objects of various sizes and shapes, and of dubious origin.

Regardless, come and look! there must be something of interest to you; a quest of carnage wouldn’t be complete without a few power-ups, ha.”
