[Oh sure, Theodore has noticed things have been getting a little... hectic recently, especially since both of his sisters seem to be affected, but this might also be the only time these things get given away! Even if he might have to

oh no he's not lying he's lied by omission enough since he came here he's so not.

In any case, he's going to be giving out his ill luck gotten prizes! It expands quite far and, after asking a rather paranoid looking man pleasantly if he could use his cart for his plush display, Theodore's got them all nice and orderly from the first to hopefully to go (Mara--) to the least likely to go (... Mara? Ghoul.) and everything nightmareish in between. And, of course, the best way to advertise is to put it where everyone can see it! The advertisement, that is.

Which is where the network comes in. He's mastered this thing, oh yes he has, and it's staring right at what appears to have once been a simple cart for merchandise now filled to the brim with plushes ranging from large to small of Persona and demons that are not cute nor elegant and most some part a side the doesn't exactly want to think about of his guest.

Theodore clears his throat. The only bad part about this is that it's raining, and he's looking quite soaked. The plush are fine though! Sadly his blue resident clothes are not. Perhaps he should invest in those clothes he'd gotten... Ah, oh well.]

Good day, Hinoto-Ri. Might I interest you all in some... exquisitely made dolls? I have everything from the, ah, powerful Mara to the beginner's Ghoul. If you ask for one, there are chances I may have it so long as it is of the more, um, frightening designs. It is the time of the year for frightful items, correct? [... Maybe this was a bad idea who'd want these things-- stay strong!] And they are all for free. Or, if you'd be willing, I would like to trade them for dolls of the Jack family in particular, and I will give you a large sum if you manage upon a King Frost.

[Fool proof.]

I will be traveling through most of the districts with the exception of the Taurus, so if you see me please do not hesitate to stop me and ask for one. [A pause, and for a second he seems desperate.] Please. I will first be centered in Libra where my current residence is and I will continue throughout the city all day until the last of these are in the hands of someone who will cherish them.

[Please take these from me, his eyes seem to say. But that's ridiculous right? A resident's supposed to accept all parts of an individual. But they never said they had to like the form they came in. A list for reference, by the way, of his wares. Personas in front, Demons in back of his cart. Simply ask!]

DEMONS PLUSH TOYS OMG Shura is on this like white on rice.

"YOU. HAVE. MOTHER HARLOT. WHERE ARE YOU AND WHAT DO YOU WANT IN EXCHANGE."

[canteachyoumore]

That's one he never expected would be popular. But hey! That's great, Ms. Shura! Take it off his hands!

"If you can obtain one, I would like a Jack Frost doll. Any sort. I'll be outside the Libra apartments."

[all_wound_up]

...They're all pretty scary-looking, aren't they?

Video

[canteachyoumore]

Yes, they're all rather terrifying in their own ways... Hallow's Eve is approaching, and I believe that is when, in many cultures, the activities of demons and other ghastly beings increase tenfold. Perhaps they will be so frightened of these dolls they will be warded off.

[Please take one, small robotic child.]

[voice]

[greatseal]

That's a pretty big collection, Theo... It looks like you've been having fun.

[She tries to examine the picture through the network, and notices....] You found a Thanatos plushie? [Theo why is it on the cart with all of those other creepy things, Thanatos is cute... even though Elizabeth has commandeered it for her own purposes.]

[video]

[canteachyoumore]

[that's exactly why BECAUSE IT'S POPULAR AND HALLOWEENIE besides he doesn't need copies. You looking at that Thanatos plush? Let him just bring it closer then. Look at that cute, gaping metal mouth.]

Yes, this sort of thing is surprisingly addictive one you start... Though it's more of that I cannot obtain the prizes I aim towards. As for the Thanatos, I am already in possession of one and see no reason to keep a second or a third. Would you like it?

[voice]

[trulyworthit]

W- wow... those dolls are- [absolutely hideous. the things of nightmares. not even a mother harlot could love them.] Um, uglycute! I never really understood it, but they're uglycute, right?

[video]

[canteachyoumore]

[No he completely agrees.]

Yes, if that is what they're referred as, I believe they are "uglycute". Would you like one?

[pretty miss please look at his face it's so hopeful]

action, while Theo is walking through Pisces

[fools_journey]

[ Minato is on his way to the subway station to head out for stuff and things when he spies a very familiar blue hat on a familiar head pushing an unfamiliar cart filled with familiar plushies. Clearly he has no other option but to slouch on over. ]

Hey, Theo.

[ He pauses as he looks the selection over. ]

Did you really win all of these from the crane machine?

action

[canteachyoumore]

Ah, there's the other one. [Doesn't he have a nice poncho? Your sister secured him it. He straightens some of the dolls as Minato looks them over and smiles a little in disappointment.]

I did indeed. Though... not by my own good fortune. I suppose you could say they are more of consolation prizes than things I had been aiming towards.

Video

[get_bent]

C...cute...

Um I mean uh, d'you make those?

Video

[canteachyoumore]

If only I were so skilled! No, there are quite the variety of dolls and the like found within the confines of the crane games in the Cancer district, though many of these do not seem appropriate for the age group which is usually fond of these challenges.




[Well, unless you're a Persona protag, he guess.]

Video

[ontheirside]

[Have an intrigued Archangel]

Is that....a Kali plush?

[He might be interested in that....for reasons.]

Video

[canteachyoumore]

[... Theodore can not imagine why one would be interested in a Kali plush, but he must say she's a rather strong ally.]

Indeed it is exactly as you see it! Are you interested in taking her off of my hands?

[Video]

[epicbraille]

[ Snake can't see the desperation in Theodore's eyes, but there's a definite trace of it in his voice.

He can't exactly turn away a person who sounds like they're in need, and they both live in Libra! Convenient. ]

I could take one or two, if you're still looking to rid yourself of them. I've no idea what any of them look like, so I have no particular preference.

[Video]

[canteachyoumore]

[Shielding one's eyes from the monstrosities of the world? Or perhaps he's just blind? Theodore is not obligated to say nor would he give his opinion on such a matter that is not his business.]

There are many to choose from, and you are welcome to feel what each are like until you find one that suits your likes. Are you within Libra's domain, by chance?

[deathof4thwall]

First, there's an audio message sent to your COMP in reply - a girl's voice, perhaps vaguely familiar, practically shouting two words and then cutting off.

"DON'T. MOVE."

Three minutes later, a young lady with long blue hair peels hell-for-leather out of the stairway down, sporting a rather impressive freshly blackened eye that her overly long bangs can't quite manage to hide. Dashing up to you, she grabs you by the shoulders and stares urgently into your eyes, forcing her bruised eye as far open as she can.

"THEO. I NEED THAT THANA-CHAN PLUSHIE."

[canteachyoumore]

SCREAM Oh, it's... a female version of Master Minato, perhaps? She looks quite worse for wear.

"You are welcome to one, of course, but... are you quite alright? Your eye seems to be somewhat damaged." He's very concerned, okay. That just looks painful.

[Video]

[linefacingforever]

...no Izanagi?

[Theo, he is disappoint.]

[Video]

[canteachyoumore]

I haven't had the fortune of coming upon one, I'm afraid. Should I receive a secondary plush after my own conquest, I will deliver it to you.

[But down to business.]

Has another perhaps caught your wandering eye?

[PLEASE]

[glassworkgenius]

[ Normally Taiyou wouldn't be so squint-y at everything, but uh, Scorpio event. Forgive him Theo. ]

They're not... going to suddenly come to life and attack their owners are they? Is that why you're trying to get rid of them?

video;

[canteachyoumore]

[One of the strange people, yes. He noticed Margaret becoming quite odd in this aspect as well.]

They are more likely to attack your foes, should they indeed have a life of their own. However, both cases are unlikely and I only wish to give off what I do not need.

[video]

[electricyousei]

Theodore, you are going to get sick if you don't get out of the rain. Do you need me to come by and bring you a raincoat while you do this?

[video]

[canteachyoumore]

[ah it's ruri his first self-made bond]

I would be most appreciative. [ponchos and raincoats work together right.] While the rain is of no trouble to me, I would be mortified if these dolls were damaged in some way.

[as frightful as they are.]

video;

[handshakegreeting]

Ah, is that Yomotsu-Shikome I see?

[Hmhm... Even her more commonly utilized form is simply precious.] I could trade you for a Pyro Jack, if you do not mind.

video;

[canteachyoumore]

[Hello there, miss who is definitely nobody powerful. You're covering well today.]

That is a very fair trade indeed. My name is Theodore, and do you have a preferred meeting area?

[fracta_anima]

[OH GOD SO CUTE! Minami has a big grin on her face as she looks over the post on the Network, a smile which widens when she's certain she recognizes his face.]

You're here, too, Theo?

[She pauses then sheepishly scratches her cheek as something occurs to her.]

Er.... are you the Theo I know or a different Theo? I'm Minami.

[A girl who bears a striking resemblance to Minako. If not for a few minor details such as the shade of red her hair is or that Minami still has some baby fat, they might as well be twins.]

[canteachyoumore]

[My, twins all over. Parallel universes too, though he knows this one previously from Miki at the tournament. Theo can even note the differences between them the more he studies her, though the similarities are still just as striking.

Despite himself, his smile widens and he bows his head apologetically.]

I'm afraid not, Master Minami. However, I met your friend Master Miki earlier in the month and learned a little about your world from her. My apologies. Am I... any different there?

[pure curiosity forget those dolls--]
