She walked with him back to the lobby as they talked. There were now people milling about here and there in various costumes. "You mean that weird rumor about candles and mirrors? I've heard people talk about it, but I didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to try something like that," she said as they entered the lobby.

Two young boys were circling Konrad's stuff with their mouths open in wonder while a few adults watched them. Missy walked up behind the two boys and put her hands on their heads. "Alright, that's enough gawking from the two of you. You know, if you keep your moths open like that for too long, you might turn into koi fish, and then we'd have to keep you in a tank in my office!" she said with a devious grin. The two boys yelped and covered their moths with their hands before running off.

Missy snickered a little and said to one of the onlookers, "Thanks for not letting them mess with this guy's stuff." A woman smiled and said, "You know it's no problem, chibi-chan. By the way, who is your companion there?" "His name is Konrad. I let him use the lobby to shelter his stuff from the storm earlier. He may be able to help us with the equipment problems we've been having recently," Missy replied before turning to Konrad and asking, "Do you have any more shops to visit? I still have some errands to run, and I'd like to speak with you some more if that would be alright."
