"Pardon us!" Deuce said as he pushed the door open. The two were greeted with a room filled with various tables, cabinets, and display cases, all full of an assortment of random and strange objects, and some things better left unquestioned. Puppets and masks were hanging everywhere, and as he crossed the purple rug, Kylar came across a voodoo doll sitting on a shelf. They headed farther inside the shop, passing a piano overflowing with what seemed to be a giant bug. "Wow, this place is amazing, there's a crystal skull, grimoires, voodoo dolls....what kind of witchery is this?" The two freshmen looked around in wonder, surprised at the things that were sold at the school store.

"Well, I guess that's why it's called the Mystery shop," Kylar commented.

"Hey, my lost little demons! How is it going?" A man popped up from a table nearby without warning, slightly startling Deuce. "Welcome to Mr. Sam's Mystery Shop. What can I do for you today?" The man had magenta eyes framed with white markings beneath them, and black-and-purple dreadlocks swept to the right to reveal an undercut, all topped with a tophat decorated with a skull. Beneath his magenta blazer, he wore a bright purple vest paired with a necklace of long and pointy... teeth? His skin and vest were covered in white skeletal markings. He must really like skeletons. Kylar frowned at the bones and a strange green glove poking out of the man's half apron. Looking at Deuce, Mr. Sam asked, "A charm of uncharted lands? Mummies of ancient kings? Or perhaps a cursed tarot card?"

"We'd like the things written down here," Deuce said, coming back from his daze as he handed the store owner the list of ingredients.

"What, what? A nice sweet lineup innit?" Mr. Sam said as he read the listed ingredients out loud, winking at the two. "Ok! Coming right up!" He went to the back of the store while the two wandered around the store. A poster caught Kylar's eye, and he walked over to read it while they waited.

"Wow, he really has them," Deuce said, a little surprised when he saw Mr. Sam coming out of the back, his hands full with the ingredients.

"Thank you for the wait~ It's a bit heavy, you think you can carry them all? I'll give you a special price if you order now, you can get a 1/100 size floating platter to carry your purchase, 30% off~" he said, ending it with a wink. What a rip-off....Kylar thought, grabbing the bags of the ingredients and handing the lighter one to Deuce.

"Nah~," Kylar said, and instead, he slid the poster he had been looking at across the counter in front of the shop owner. It was about a job offer as a delivery person for Mr. S's Mystery shop. "May I ask if there are any free spots still left?"

"Oh~ Yes, you're the only one who wanted to apply for the job actually," Mr. Sam confirmed, then seeing the sweat that started dripping from the boy's face, he chuckled as he explained the job more clearly. "For this delivery job you'll only need to deliver to the dorm leaders and the other students are not allowed to use this delivery service, so don't fret about being overworked~"

"How much will I get paid?" Kylar questioned, weighing the positive and negative outcomes, his carefree attitude shifting to become that of a person ready for business. He would only take the job if he was sure he would make a good profit from it. After all, he had been forced to spend 5 hours every day studying business since he was three and a half until he was seven years old. He would get some use out of it at least.

"60% of the price I receive for every delivery you make, but only if the delivery went by smoothly," he said, "Would you like to sign up~? I'll send you a text when there are any deliveries that need to be made."

It's not that bad and I would have more time to study but I might have to get another part-time job though...

"I'm interested, but I guess I would have to get a phone first," Kylar said, but just as he finished something black was shoved in his face. Leaning back to look at it clearly, it was a phone, the case gray with small dark blue and white speckles, like snowflakes, with a moon rising in the background.
