The Shop

>Oh. Right.
>We still have to find where all the stuff went, huh.

>Go full drill sergeant and command all the items to line up single file, maggots!

>Oh. Right.
>We still have to find where all the stuff went, huh.

>What's Asche up to? Is he being a good boy and cleaning the room?

>"Asche bb we mis u" go fIND ASCHE

> Go find Asche while blasting John Coltrane Quartet's Soul Eyes at max volume.

You wheel about blaring your saxophone. Eventually you find Asche sitting among the mess of the room.

Some of the items appear familiar, while others not so much. It would seem things have moved in your absence.



Asche:
"That's not a bad tune...
Welcome back by the way."

>Go full drill sergeant and command all the items to line up single file, maggots!

On your command, some of the meeker items take file.



Asche:
"Oh well, not bad at all. You might actually be able to do this."

>...Take down that clown poster. Probably giving these things nightmares.

>Ohgod the clown poster. I don't think that's even FROM this world. Rip it down and make the Shahp Vac devour it. Tell Asche to mind his ears tho, because it's loud with the Shahp Vac on.

Collect the poster. You might be able to collect a bounty! Also the Wanted poster. Maybe you can avoid danger!

>Now then, with your saxophone, reenact that scene with the broom from the Sorcerer's Apprentice. That's the best way to get them moving. What could go wrong?

OH MY GOD IS THAT HELEN


>TAKE THE CLOWN POSTER, KEEP IT SAFE, SHOW IT TO HELEN WHEN THEY GROW UP.

>...Take down that clown poster. Probably giving these things nightmares.

>TAKE THE CLOWN POSTER, KEEP IT SAFE, SHOW IT TO HELEN WHEN THEY GROW UP.

Collect the poster. You might be able to collect a bounty! Also the Wanted poster. Maybe you can avoid danger

You take hold of the posters, however they refuse to be a part of your inventory.

>Ohgod the clown poster. I don't think that's even FROM this world. Rip it down and make the Shahp Vac devour it. Tell Asche to mind his ears tho, because it's loud with the Shahp Vac on.

You instead decide to feed them to the shop vacuum.

A splitting scream pierces the air.



Asche:
"So—Remember how I said NOT to aggravate the items here?"

>Now then, with your saxophone, reenact that scene with the broom from the Sorcerer's Apprentice. That's the best way to get them moving. What could go wrong?

You call forth the brooms of the room.



They tend to your summon, and begin to work.



Asche:
"Oh well then, mission com—"



SHOP BROOMS want to battle!


Asche:
"Bollocks."

Oh dear. We can't use our dangerous stuff here...
Oh wait.
>Pull out a sax, and play a soulful serenade. Appease them with your moving, emotional, heartfelt music.

>Alright brooms, you wanna throwdown? We'll throwdown!

>Alright brooms, you wanna throwdown? We'll throwdown!

> we'll wipe the floor with you!

>Cue Some Nights nightcore remix

it just occurred to me that right before the poster was vacuumed, the clown was no longer in the poster.

jus' takin a walk don't worry about it!


>"no thank u" awkward silence

>Alright brooms, you wanna throwdown? We'll throwdown!

> we'll wipe the floor with you!

From behind you, you hear Asche let out an exasperated groan.

>Pull out a sax, and play a soulful serenade. Appease them with your moving, emotional, heartfelt music.

>Cue Some Nights nightcore remix

You play a song filled with your heart and soul.



SHOP BROOM A has lost the will to fight.
SHOP BROOM B has lost the will to fight.
SHOP BROOM C is distracted.
SHOP BROOM D has opinions.

SHOP BROOMS A and B have left the battle.

>"no thank u" awkward silence

The remaining shop brooms look at you confused, unsure of how to proceed.

>Play Bill Withers' Lean On Me to foster a sense of friendship, and get them to help you out of here instead

>Tell Broom C that Asche is too bashful to admit it, but he has a crush on them. Maybe they could break the ice and get things moving? *wink-wink*

>"so, how's the weather? The wife treating ya good?"

Offer them a saxophone each.

>Play Bill Withers' Lean On Me to foster a sense of friendship, and get them to help you out of here instead

The brooms accept your gesture.



They chain you tightly to the shelves.
Now you can be friends of the storeroom forever.

>"so, how's the weather? The wife treating ya good?"

SHOP BROOM D jostles in what you think might be a nod.

>Tell Broom C that Asche is too bashful to admit it, but he has a crush on them. Maybe they could break the ice and get things moving? *wink-wink*

SHOP BROOM C tries to add Asche along to the collection.
Asche however, manages to fend it off.



Asche:
"Woah there!
Despite what Crate with Eyes is saying over there, I already have someone in my life."

SHOP BROOM C is dejected.

Offer them a saxophone each.

To make up for Asche's rude behavior, you offer a saxophone to each of the brooms.



They wander off appeased, leaving the two of you alone.

....



Asche:
"Need a hand getting down?"

>"no" break the laws of physics, float away into the unkown

>Yes plz.

>Now I'm not saying I do, but I will say I'm far too macho to just say so in the hypothetical scenario that I do.

>Ask Asche to free the screaming poster first and chide him for putting it in there in the first place.
