Part 514: Robin C
Oh, Robin! Just the lady I wanted to see!Oh, hello, Anna. What can I do for you?
I have a proposition for you...
A proposition?
Yes! Just this morning, I got my hands on a stock of special skin cream. You just smooth it on, and the wear and tear of battle and travel disappear! Old, dry skin replaced by silky smoothness. It's the hard-travelin' girl's best friend! And today only, I can offer it to you at an insanely low price.
Er, I see. That's very kind, I suppose. But, to be honest, I don't use creams and lotions much. They're not really my thing.
But a girl's skin is her most important ally! Why, neglecting it is like abandoning a comrade on the battlefield! You're so pretty already - just think what a beauty you'll be with healthy, glowing skin!
Er, well, if you put it like that... I suppose I could try a little.
That's the spirit! ...Aaand here you go. One tub of Anna's Wonder Cream.
Heh, now you've gotten me all excited. I'll have to try it right now.
Great. You do that. ...Bye!
(Robin leaves)
...Wait a second? What's this? Oh, cripes! I gave her the wrong one! The stuff I gave her is the experimental formula that's still being tested on cows! ...Well, I gueeess it'll be all right? I mean, flame-tree resin is probably safe and effective on skin. ...Right? And since the sale's been made, I couldn't give her money back. ...Right? No, of course not. All sales are final!
