Melanie
Woman
[An older, fatter lady walks up to the checkout aisle with a broom, a ladle, and various cleaning products. Her spotted leathery skin is so pale that it almost looks green. A fluffy black robe swallows her thin frame, and a rather...odd...cap adorns her head. Her crooked nose is so long that Melanie sees it coming from 8 aisles down.]
[Melanie stifles a laugh] "Hello, ma'am."
[The witch smiles, revealing uneven rows of yellow teeth] "Hello, my pretty." [She reaches out and touches Melanie's arm.]
[Melanie looks at the woman with disgust and confusion before hesitantly grabbing the broom.] "So...you a janitor or something?"
[The woman laughs. Melanie continues to grow more uncomfortable] "You'll find out soon enough."
[Melanie scans the rest of the cleaning products in silence.] "...34.50"
[The lady slaps some gold coins in Melanie's hands, takes her bag, and walks away. Melanie looks down, and she sees the same coins the odd goth man gave her. Melanie looks at the coins confused, but before she can ask the witch about them, she is already gone.]
