Ronin barges into Steeper Wisdom one day, waving a piece of paper at Master Wu. "BUDDY!!! Look what I've got here!"
Wu eyes it, unimpressed. "It seems to be a document of some sort."
Ronin chuckles and pulls Wu close to him in a half-armed hug. "Not just any document, old man! THIS is an order for our first consignment of Wu's Tea-lightfully Aromatic Candles!"
"Our first consignment?" Wu says meaningfully.
"Okay, yours. I'm the looks and the brains, you make the merchandise."
"You never told me about this."
"Didn't I?" Ronin doesn't give Wu a chance to answer. "Oh, well. People wanted your teas in a wider variety of forms. Better get to work, pal. Here's the list." He slaps the paper down in front of Wu and breezes out again.
"Shifty shop-stealer." Wu grumbles after him, then glances down at the list. His eyes begin to crinkle at the sides as he reads it. "Actually, these ideas may be somewhat good. Someone else must have thought of them." He decides. "Alright, I need to be able to afford all of the property damage charges the city bills me with after the ninja fight each villain, anyways. Oh, and their new suits. And their food. And the Destiny's Bounty's fuel charges. And their therapy bills..." Wu rambles on to himself as he heads into the back room and rolls up his gi sleeves.
-Several days later-
Wu invites the whole city to take part in the launch of his line of new products.
"Sniff this one, Nya. I dedicated it in your honor. I call it Sal-tea Spray."
Nya smells it, curious.
"You are pretty salty, Sis." Kai snickers.
She cuffs him in the back of the head, then turns to Wu. "It smells just like the ocean, but do I detect a hint of.. Fish?" She asks.
"Dolphin." Wu corrects quickly, then moves on to Jay and Lloyd. "I call this one Tea-licious Blueberry." He says, handing one to Jay. "..And this one I dedicated to you, Nephew. Anxie-tea Gives you Energy. Clever, isn't it?"
Lloyd looks insulted, then sniffs it. "It smells like.. Lavender. And.. Mint?"
"Indeed." Wu smiles. "Lavender for anxiety, and mint for energy. It's quite rejuvenating. Do you like it?"
Lloyd shifts his gaze about, checking that no one can hear him. He shrugs at Jay. "I do, actually. Can I have a case?" He whispers.
"Of course you may. Just do your chores."
Wu goes over to Zane and Kai, giving them a sparkling white, aqua, and pine-green candle, and a flaming red and orange patterned candle, respectively. "Try these." He urges.
Zane opens his and inhales deeply. "That is rather pleasant, Master. It insinuates a brisk Winter wind blowing through my circuits, with a pine-like aromatic pungency stirring beneath it." He reads the label. "Fros-tea Forest?"
The fiery brunette takes a hesitant sniff, then grins. "Awesome! Cinnamon, and ginger, and cloves, and a subtle hint of.. I think that's smoke?"
"Yes. Feis-tea Spiced Tea. It reminded me of you so strongly, I thought I'd capture your eagerness to do your chores in its essence."
"But, I'm not usually eager to- Oh."
"Exactly." Wu spots Cole. "THERE YOU ARE, COLE!!!" He shouts, running over to him.
Cole freezes in his tracks, then realizes it's Wu. "Hey, Master."
Wu shoves a candle into his hands. (Clamps?) "And finally, this one is for you."
Cole smells it. "It smells just like.. Black Tea." He raises an eyebrow. "Seriously? After all the others get these fancy names, this one is just plain black tea? Is that all you could think of?"
Wu shrugs. "You're very uninspiring."
"WHAT?!!"
Wu waves to his customers. "Here's a coupon for our first line of limited-edition scented candles! Buy ten, get Zane! Buy twenty, get Cole! Buy thirty, get Jay! Buy forty, get Lloyd! Buy fifty, get Kai!"
Nya shoots Wu an incredulous look. "What about me?!!"
"You're too valuable for me to sell off."
She shrugs. "Okay, then. LISTEN UP, FANGIRLS!!!" She suddenly hollers out. "NOW'S YOUR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME CHANCE TO TAKE HOME ONE OF THE FAMOUS NINJA!!! YOU CAN KEEP THEM IN YOUR ROOM, ON THE COUCH, IN A CLOSET, IN YOUR BASEMENT.. HONESTLY, ANYWHERE WILL DO AS LONG AS YOU FEED THEM REGULARLY!!! THEY DON'T REQUIRE MUCH, BUT THEY DO REQUIRE CONSTANT ATTENTION, SO PLEASE KEEP THAT IN MIND!!! WE DON'T DO RETURNS!!!"
A large amount of high-pitched squealing emanates from the crowd.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I WANT ZANE, HE'S SUCH A CUTIE!!!"
"BUT KAI'S SOOO HOT!!!
"JAY'S ELECTRIFYING, THOUGH!!!"
"HEY!!!" Nya roars aggressively. "Actually, Jay's not for sale. All the rest are, though."
