Shopkeeper: Love potion? Perhaps a voodoo doll for that unfaithful...

JENNY: (interrupts) I need an Orb of Thesulah.

Shopkeeper: (drops the accent) Oh, you're in the trade. Sorry about the spiel, but around Valentine's Day, I get a lot of tourists shopping for love potions and mystical revenge of past lovers. Sad fact is, Ouija boards and rabbits' feet, that's what pay the rent around here. So how did you hear about us?

JENNY: My Uncle Enyos told me about you.

Shopkeeper: So you're Janna, then. Sorry to hear about your uncle.

JENNY: Thank you.

Shopkeeper: He was a good customer. Well, no, there you go. One Thesulan Orb. Spirit vault for the rituals of the undead. I don't get many calls for those lately. Sold a couple as new age paperweights last year. Yeah, I just love those new-agers, boy. They helped to send my youngest to college. By the way, you do know that the transliteration annals for the ritual of the undead were lost. Without the annals, the surviving text is gibberish.

JENNY: And without a translated text, the Orbs of Thesulah are pretty much useless. Yeah, I know.

Shopkeeper: Well, I only mention it because I have a strict policy of no refunds.

JENNY: It's okay. I'm working on a computer program to translate the Rumanian liturgy to English based on a random sampling of the text.

Shopkeeper: Yecchh. I don't like computers. They give me the willies.

JENNY: Well, thank you.

Shopkeeper: You're welcome.

Shopkeeper: By the way... Not that it's any of my business, really, but, uh, what are you planning on conjuring up? If you can decipher the text?

JENNY: A present for a friend of mine.

Shopkeeper: Really? What are you gonna give him?

JENNY: His soul.
