[Open on Eda's human collectibles stand in the market. King is jumping on the table, trying to grab a flag hanging above him.]
King: Weh! [Falls off the table.] Stupid flag!
[Luz walks in carrying a ladder and a wooden sign.]
Luz: It's been a little slow around here, but I've got just the thing to attract customers.
[She puts the wooden sign on top of the "HUMAN COLLECTABLES" sign and taps it, activating the light glyphs carved into it.]
Luz: And who doesn't like their name in lights?
[Fully illuminated, a winking face of Eda appears.]
Luz: Is it too subtle?
Boscha: Does subtle mean ugly?
[Boscha, Skara, and an Oracle track student are standing at the stand.]
Luz: Hi, Boscha! Hexsidians! See anything you like?
Boscha: Ew! No. I'm just here to take an ironic Penstagram next to your weird flashing trash sign.
[She summons her scroll and takes several pictures.]
Luz: It's not funny, Boscha.
Boscha: What are you going to do? Spit your human venom on me?
King: You have venom? Quick, Luz, start melting faces!
Luz: [Kneels down.] Even if I could, it's not worth it. You wouldn't understand how to handle teens like her.
King: [Grabs her hood.] No, I'll show you what to do. [Grunts, jumps onto the table.] You will tremble before me!
[The three teens stare at him.]
Boscha: Oh, he's so cute!
[She hugs King and summons her scroll, taking a picture with a filter.]
King: Weh! [Shoves her face.]
Boscha: How much? I have to own him.
King: [Frees himself.] You couldn't afford me, sister!
All: Aw!
King: That's the incorrect reaction!
Eda: [Sniffs.] I smell an easy mark. [Jumps out of the tent.] Hey, kid! Can I offer you the latest fashions from... [Magically dresses herself in horribly clashing clothes.] the human realm?
Boscha: Yeah, no.
[Skara and the Oracle track student laugh as the three of them leave.]
Eda: Well, [Returns to her normal outfit.] I hate her.
Luz: Yeah, teens can be sour, but I'm a little sweetie. Look what I made you!
[She points to her sign.]
Eda: Luz! [Takes the sign down.]
Luz: Did I spell something wrong? Or did I spell something right?
Eda: Stop that. [Wipes away the lights.] You may be forgetting something, Luz. I'm kinda... [Holds up her wanted poster.] on the run! Remember? Every guard in town would be at my doorstep if I had my name in lights.
Luz: Well, I don't see anyone right now. Maybe you're just being paranoid. You're a powerful witch. Why hide when you can "poof" all your problems away with magic?
