[ Today, people will see Stelle wearing a suit with her hair up in a ponytail - it seems that she's opted to actually dress up a little differently for this - standing behind a counter with what seems to be a bunch of drinks.

She speaks up, smiling wide. ]

Good morning, Ellipsa!

As of today, there's a brand new place to hang out where you can be treated like a star and our grand opening is well... right now! Welcome to Another Star's Trash: a many-for-one stop for your potential needs. We're a pawn shop slash night bar located in Nightwake, where we'll buy any of your items that you no longer need! After all our motto is: another star's trash can become Stelle's treasure! Doesn't matter if the item is big, small, looks useless or not. We'll buy it at a price that both of us agree upon.

But wait!

There's more!

Because you see, we also serve drinks late at night - both alcoholic ones and mocktails. Alcoholic drinks will only be served to those who are 18 years old or older, but I promise that the mocktails are also very tasty! We also have real nice drinks. You can order specific drinks, things based off of a vibe, or you can ask me to cook you up a specialty one-of-a-kind drink that would represent you!

For today only, we will be having a On The House special: where all customers can get a specialty drink for themselves for absolutely free!

And wait... there's still more!

Another Star's Trash also takes on other miscellaneous services, such as personal commissions, tuskpir services, and garbage removal services, so feel free to ask about those! If there's any other tasks that you'd like to hire me personally for, feel free to contact me, too!

Last but not least: we are hiring! If you want to work in PR or be a bartender or any other position you might think of? Feel free to let me know. That's all for today, hope to see you soon!

[ OOC: Feel free to use this post to either contact Stelle directly or as an action post to visit the new place. More details can be found here and if you have any questions, feel free to hit me up at tsundereban or the unofficial Discord, thanks! ]

[Huh... so is this one of the things Stelle's been setting up with all that treasure they found?]

I can't say a pawn shop would be my first guess for what kind of business you'd open, but congratulations!

I don't have any kind of experience in those sorts of jobs, but if you need any help around the store, I'm happy to see what I can do.

[starwill]

It's the easiest kind of place to get a lot of neat stuff.

[ Stelle............ ]

You want to come over? You can see the really neat logo I commissioned up front!

[gentleglow]

Ah. So you had an ulterior motive, I see.

[Her tone is somewhat accusatory, but in a teasing way. Of course... she should have guessed.]

Sure! Just give me the exact address, and I'll be over there soon.

[starwill]

Doesn't everyone?

[ She answers back in a bit of a joking way. ]

I'll text it to you. [ And so she does! ]

[video ->action]

[gentleglow]

Hm. Maybe not everyone, but a lot of people do.

[Knowing that Stelle doesn't hold her keeping her true identity a secret against her is nice. It's easy to make little jokes like that.

And speaking of said true identity - it doesn't take long for her to reach the address Stelle gave her with Sam. She's sure to de-transform in a nearby alley with nobody around to see, brushing any remaining embers off her dress, before passing a few more buildings and stopping in front of Stelle's new store.

She's not sure if the door's locked or not, so she'll at least do the polite thing and knock first.]

Stelle?

[starwill]

Door's open!

[ Firefly will probably notice from the outside that the store is very obviously shaped like a trashcan building - gotta keep up with the theming, after all - and there is a logo on it that makes it painfully clear where she is.

There's also a cute little sign with a raccoon that says open.

If she does go in, she'll notice that in spite of its weird shape, the place itself isn't all that small and is rather spacious -- even if it's a bit empty with all the shelves.

Bar seems to be in the back, but Stelle is already running past it with a bright smile. ]

[gentleglow]

[She's not really too surprised, and even if Stelle's obsession with trash and trash cans still absolutely baffles her, the sight of the store's facade brings a smile to Firefly's face. Stelle is just... so goofy, and she's happy that the trailblazer is completely shameless about it.

It's one reason she likes being around her so much. The other is-]

It looks like you're having fun, even with how busy you are.

[... She really likes seeing how bright that smile is, when Stelle is throwing her all into something that isn't putting them in danger.]

[starwill]

Well, a girl's gotta have a change of pace sometimes.

[ And apparently this is the results of it as she rocks a little on her heels, ponytail waving as she does. ]

So, how are you liking it?

[gentleglow]

[For just the briefest moment, Firefly doesn't answer. Something as simple as changing her hairstyle is so... eye-catching. Stelle looks nice like this.

Ah, but she's not going to get distracted with that little flutter in her chest...]

The outside stands out. It's - bold, eye-catching, and the combination of a pawn shop and a bar is bound to invite all sorts of attention and gossip.

[Beat.]

So I think this place suits you very well.

[starwill]

[ Stelle's smile softens somewhat at the compliments, rubbing at the nape of her neck in embarrassment. ]

I'm glad to hear it. Do you want to check out the bar? It's all the way in the back.

[gentleglow]

Of course!

[Through all her explorations in Penacony, with all the food she's tried, she never really went to bars much. They were always the rowdiest, at least the ones on the streets Firefly frequented. She was more interested in all the other food anyway.]

Let me guess. Some wild adventure of yours led you to learning how to run a bar?

[starwill]

It was back in Penacony, actually. I assisted with running a bar for monsters, so I've gotten pretty good at making drinks at this point. Still can't nail some of the glass tricks, though.

[gentleglow]

For monsters...

[... Honestly, that's far from the strangest thing she's heard happening in Penacony, let alone to Stelle. Just as long as it wasn't that monster...]

Glass tricks? Which ones do you know?

[stavros]

Really? You would take something useless in exchange?

[starwill]

I'm a bit of a collector, one might say.

[stavros]

I see... and what sorts of items have you acquired? Just anything?

[starwill]

Well, we just opened today, sooooo. Nothing yet?

[stavros]

I see! In that case, I wish you very well. I know not what sorts of expeditions people take here, but if it's anything like what I'm used to, they probably bring back all kinds of things.

[starwill]

As a veteran of goods, I can say that I have collected a bunch of things from visiting places.

Those are more from my... personal collection, though.

[stavros]

So you... collect interesting things you find? And that could just be anything?

[starwill]

Yep. Anything and everything!

[stavros]

Very well! I will have to see for myself! Besides, I'm still trying not to get lost with how huge this place is anyway... regardless.

[starwill]

This world is pretty big... if you ever need help navigating at all, I'm willing to lend a helping hand.

[stavros]

You mean it? Thanks -- I mean. [cough] A kind offer, and one that goes well appreciated.

[starwill]

Yeah! I've been here for a while, so navigating places're a cinch for me.
