Circe's Shop of Magical Wonders

[Abillioncats]

"Yeah I haven't eaten since..." Catherine paused. "...I have no idea, but I think it's been a while." She followed Delilah as she spoke. "I'm sorry, you were probably busy with something before I showed up. I'm not causing you any trouble am I?"

[Ookalf]

Oh, don't worry, I wasn't doing much. Besides, helping customers is all part of the job!

[Abillioncats]

"I don't have any money."

[Ookalf]

...Ah. Well, I wouldn't worry too much about that. Miss Circe is... flexible, with this kind of thing. I'm sure we'll work something out...

[AmbushCat]

Ah, yes, of course. And you're from a Pokémon world, so... 200,000 Poké Dollars seem fair?

Calico: Sounds like it would work...

*Calico searches around on her person for cash. Along the way she pulls out a dozen Hyper Potions; a photograph of her world's Aldonza doing a bizarre victory dance; four empty bottles of stoli; and a partially torn hospital invoice. She even reaches down the back of her jacket and hauls out a folded-up bicycle.*

Calico: ...Well, it would work if I could my blasted wallet. Could you hold on a sec?

[Abillioncats]

"I'll pay it however I can."

Take your time...

"I'll pay it however I can."

*Delilah nods.* Maybe we should ask her if you can work here... What do you think?

[Abillioncats]

"I think that's a great idea, I need a job of some kind anyway."

[Ookalf]

All right, come with me. *Delilah leads Catherine to the front of the store where Circe is waiting on Calico.* Miss Circe? I've got a customer here who can't pay...

I see... *Circe looks to Catherine.* So, what's your story?

[Abillioncats]

"Well...it's a rather bizarre but...I just sort of appeared here...with no memories of who I am or where I came from. Delilah here was kind enough to give me some clothes and the name Catherine but...I don't have any money...or anything for that matter. So I was thinking that I could perhaps work here to pay you back? I have no where else to go anyway." Catherine fidgeted a bit, a little nervous.

[AmbushCat]

*Catherine might notice the alcohol-like odor in the air emanating from a half-intoxicated Pokémon trainer.*

*Calico disregards what's happening right next to her, continuing to pull random stuff out of her clothes as she tries in vain to find her wallet. These include a small torrent of empty CD cases, an open can of beer---which she guzzles down before continuing---a vacation brochure, another photograph (this one of Champion-Circe, apparently taken during an angry rant, with a cheering crowd in the background), a T-shirt with an Omastar on it, and a Snorlax plush toy. Finally, with a triumphant cry, she finally locates her wallet!*

Calico: And lo, we have cash! *starts slamming money onto the counter*

An amnesiac, huh... Very well then. For the time being, you'll work for me. *Circe tosses Catherine a maid headband.* Put that on. It'll give you the rest of your uniform.

*Circe turns her attention back to Calico and starts collecting the money.* Thank you very much...

[Abillioncats]

Catherine does as she's told and places the headband on her head. "Like this?"

[Ookalf]

Perfect. *Once Catherine puts the headband on, a ripple effect passes over her clothing, transforming them into a maid uniform matching Delilah's.* And there you go. Any questions?

[AmbushCat]

*Circe turns her attention back to Calico and starts collecting the money.* Thank you very much...

Calico: No prob. Thanks for the business.
