"Romani had a great idea, and I think I'm all set to go. Does anyone have a wagon Romani can borrow?"

Action

[One way or another, she's going to get a wagon. And no matter what, she's doing this. Without being a menace to society, of course. She's a good girl, after all.

At Genessia's park, Romani has a small wagon full of bottles of milk, with a sign of a poorly drawn artistic "Milk Bar." She's trying her best to be a good dairy rancher like her sister.]

"Welcome! I'm Romani. Are you thirsty for the freshest of milk? Came straight from the happiest of Miltanks!"

WHAT'S YOUR GREAT IDEA, GREAT RANCHER ROMANI??? AND DO YOU HAVE A WAGON LICENSE????

[The lawman thing may have gone to his head.]

Video

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Romani's idea is to bottle up some of Miltank's milk and sell them to people.

[A pause.]

...What's a wagon license?

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

ANOTHER MONEY-MAKING SCHEME!!! YOU MUST BE SAVING UP FOR SOME GREAT CHRISTMAS PRESENTS!

[It's pretty far away but he's already looking forward to the awesome stuff the, no doubt, loaded child will give him. Worth every bill.]

JUST MAKE SURE YOU LEAVE ENOUGH FOR ME!!

WELL, A LICENSE IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO PROVE TO SOCIETY THAT YOU CAN OPERATE A VEHICLE RESPONSIBLY.

...UNLESS IT'S ALIVE.

[Cause he didn't get a pokemon license, and yet...]

Re: Video

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Okay, Romani will do that.

[Since she doesn't fully understand the value of money, she's more than likely to sell them really low. Like one would at a lemonade stand.]

Romani understands. Do you have a wagon license?

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

FISCAL AND UNDERSTANDING. THAT'S WHY YOU'RE MY RANCHER!!!

...NO. BUT I HAVE LOOKED INTO DRIVING A COOL STATION WAGON!! IT'S BIGGER THAN YOUR STANDARD MODEL.

IF YOU CAN FIND A COOL WAGON, I'LL USE MY VAST GUARDIAN KNOW-HOW TO CHECK THE LAWS TO SEE WHERE YOU CAN TEST OUT!

Re: Video

[tsoukalos_disciple]

[Station wagon. She doesnt know what that is, so one can imagine what ridiculous idea is going on in that childish mind of hers.]

Okay, but Romani isn't having much luck finding a wagon so far. If you find one, may I borrow it?

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

MY WATCHFUL EYE FINDS ALL SORTS OF WAGONS!! USUALLY PULLED BY HORSES!!!

BUT THEY'RE ALREADY OWNED, SO YOU MAY NOT.

ARE YOU SURE WINDGATE CREEK DOESN'T HAVE A WAGON STORE?? COME TO THINK OF IT, WE HAVE A PAIR OF HORSES OURSELVES...

[They don't do much than eat or excrete; not like Papyrus had any pressing need to ride them anywhere.]

Re: Video

[tsoukalos_disciple]

I don't need those big wagons. Romani only needs a small one that I can pull.

[Or tie to Growlithe and Rockruff, and they can do the pulling, like those sled dog teams.]

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

OHOHO, GOOD THINKING! THAT'LL BE A GOOD WORKOUT FOR YOUR WAGON MUSCLES!! OKAY, I'M PUTTING MY GENIUS BRAIN ON THE TECHNOLOGY PATH.

[That means he's looking up where to find the goods. Once his keyboard gets a gloved what-for...]

OKAY!! I GOT IT!!! GANISTER SONS' AND GENERAL GOODS HAS THE WAGON FOR YOU!! AND IF NOT, PUT IN A CUSTOM ORDER AT OAKLEY'S SMITH!! TELL THEM THE GREAT PAPYRUS SENT YOU!!!

[Not that that's likely to mean much, as it's Windgate Creek, not Fayren, but he's sure he's popular no matter where he goes. How could he not be?]

AND I HAVE SOME OTHER GOOD NEWS: THERE ARE NO WAGON LICENSES!! WAGON TO YOUR LAWLESS HEART'S CONTENT!!!!

Re: Video

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Yay!

[She can lawlessly pull a children's wagon around!
... ...
Dead stop!]


Wait... Romani doesn't want to be lawless. But if there is no law against it, then how...
Romani's head hurts...

Re: Video

[cool_skeleton]

I KNOW YOU DON'T. WITH SUCH A COOL GUARDIAN AS YOUR BOSS, LAW AND ORDER MUST FILL YOUR HEART LIKE MILK FROM A MILTANK'S FOUR UDDERS.

SO NOT TO WORRY! THE GREAT AND LAWFUL PAPYRUS WAS SPEAKING WITH GREAT POETRY! IN THIS CASE, THE ABSENCE OF LAW MEANS ONLY LIBERTY!!

SO RIDE YOUR LIBERTY WAGON WITH PRIDE!! WHENEVER YOU GET ONE!!!

I'unno that a shrimpy li'l pup like y's old 'nuff t' be runnin' a bar.

[How acclimated is Romani to nonhumans by this point? Because this towering Fishman just walked up and draped a long arm over her milk bar sign and have her a big, toothy grin.]

Action

[tsoukalos_disciple]

[Romani is surprised, but not shocked. She's aware of the Zora but never seen one up close.]

Romani is old enough, yes. I'm 10 years old. [That's practically an adult in kid years!]

Are you are Zora, mister? Romani hass never met a Zora before.

Action

[om_nom_namur]

Uh. Put it t' y' this way. Since I ain't got the murkiest idea what the hell yer talkin' 'bout, we'll go with no. A'ight?

So whatcha sellin' at this here bar, eh?

Action

[tsoukalos_disciple]

[Not a Zora? Probably not a Goron either. Unlike Zora, Romani has met a Goron on trips to Clocktown.]

Oh. Romani is selling milk from a Miltank. I bottled it myself.

Action

[om_nom_namur]

What, no booze?

Lame bar.

[Namur pulls a few red bills out of his wallet.]

Guess that 'xplains why yer old 'nuff. How much'll this get me?

Action

[tsoukalos_disciple]

Yep, no boos. Sorry.
[We don't sell Spirits here.]

Umm, one Rupee. Or, no, one "red bill" Romani thinks they're called.

Re: Action

[om_nom_namur]

Lurin' folk here with a sign what says this's a bar an' then ain't havin' no booze. This's extortion!

[He bops her nose with a folded red bill, then holds it out for her to take. It's harder than he realized to try and sound affronted.]

Got the makin's of a real criminal mastermind here, small fry. What's yer name?

Action

[tsoukalos_disciple]

[Booped. Romani accepts the bill and places a fresh bottle Miltank milk on the table for fish-man.

Romani is my name, and I'm not a criminal.

The Milk Bar is the name of the place that buys Romani Ranch milk. Romani just borrowed the name.
