Jade was bored and decided to go walking in a part of town she'd never been before. It was a beautiful day and she had nothing to do. As she was walking she noticed an old shop, she couldn't make out the name. Walking closer she noticed the name, 'Ithwarda's Magic Shoppe'. "I wonder what will be in there, I've never noticed this shop before and it looks kind of old too." Jade said as she walked closer to the door. It looked to be straight out of the middle ages with wrought iron worked into the wood for reinforcement. It took all of Jade's strength to push it open. As she stepped inside, she noticed the unmistakable odor of old books, the kind of odor one would find in a library or bookstore. She browsed around the little shop which looked a lot bigger on the inside than it did on the outside, for some reason.
"May I help you Miss?" came a voice from behind some of the books. Jade made her way around the pile of books to see an old lady with her hair as white as newly fallen snow, but somewhat disheveled with some bits of hay and twigs intertwined within it, as if she was awoken from a long slumber.
"No, I was walking and I got lost, but I guess I will be having a look look around." Jade replied back to her with a kind and courteous manner.
"That makes sense." The old lady said as she lit an old pipe filled with fragrant tobacco. "You can't find this place if you know what you're looking for." She started to take several puffs from her pipe as she talked in her mysterious manner.
"I'm sorry?" Jade replied back with a perplexed look upon her face.
"I'm just saying that you have to be lost to find exactly what you're looking for, my child." She answered back still with mouth still attached to her pipe. "I think I have several items that will peak your interest. If you would like to have a seat over there while I get them for you." She said as she pointed to a chair with jars of organs and piles of human bones resting upon it.
"Thank you, but I will just wander around your shop if that is okay with you?" Jade replied back with a small look of disgust on her face.
"Fine, fine. Just don't touch anything." She said as she waved her pipe around as if she was trying to make a point.
Jade browsed around the shop making sure not to touch anything. She found many strange and mysterious items. The was a skull shaped pendant which appeared to be made of Jade, several scrolls with some runic symbols, and a coin with a face on it. "This stuff is weird, but I think the skull looks pretty much my style." She chuckled as she heard the old lady returning.
"Here we go." The old lady said with a grunt as she sat back down. "I am getting too old for this. Anyway this is what I have to offer you. First, we have an incantation that will swap the genitals of multiple people in a setting. Secondly we have this toy train that will make any body feel and look younger by playing with it. Lastly we have a coin that will allow you to swap personalities around between two people. Since you were so courteous earlier, I will allow you to choose one item for a low price of £10 and I will give you this business card for you to give to one of your friends at work to allow them to come by here too."
Jade looked in her pocket and noticed that all she had was coincidentally £10. "I guess I do have enough. I think I will take the _____"
