"A scarf?"
"Yes, a scarf! A fluttery one to throw over my shoulders at the Masquerade. [[All Youth will be there!"->d7]]"Ah, so you want a little Value for the Masquerade?"
He laughts silently.

[[It is vibrant! <span class="blink">></span>->w6]]
The shop walls are lined with colorful bolts of Values. On the back wall there are a few racks of Inklings. There are Curiosities dotting the shop, but you suspect those are more for display than for sale.
The Other sits at a desk close to the front of the shop. He watches you with a faint smile.
[[Back <span class="blink">></span>->Third Dimension Shop]]
The Other is watching you patiently. He seems a little surprised that you are here.
[[Back <span class="blink">></span>->Third Dimension Shop]]The red is bright and colorful, like a field of poppies. It makes a beautiful contrast with the black background.
[["How vivid! Why can't it be for me?"->w7]][["Hush, child..."->War1]]{(set: $background to "war")

Next to War, another cloth catches your eye.
[[Examine <span class="blink">></span>->ash2]]The cloth is a dull grey, undershot with rose.
[["What is that?"->ash2.5]]You repeat the words after him slowly. Ashes of hearts. The soft sounds match the soft glow of the fabric.
[["What does it mean?"->ash4]]The Other's voice quavers ever so slightly.
"What it says. Ashes of Hearts that lovers have left..."
[[Oh, how poetic! <span class="blink">></span>->ash5]]"I want that!" You interrupt. It's perfect, poetic! "I want that for a scarf!"
[[The Other is shaking. <span class="blink">></span>->ash6]]"Ashes of Hearts? To wear for a scarf?"
He laughs.
You feel a bit nervous.
(live: 1.5s)[(t8n:"dissolve")[[[Um... <span class="blink">></span>->ash7]]](stop:)]And laughs.
