A young man took a deep breath as he stepped up to the mirror. He was casually dressed, wearing a blue polo and jeans, along with sneakers and a light jacket. He ran a hand through his light brown hair, and put his glasses back on. Jacob “Jay” Quentin was an above average student, and a bit of an introvert. He had blue eyes and pale skin, and stood a little above average at 5’9 tall.
“Welcome!” A joyous female voice seemed to resound through the chamber. Jacob flinched in surprise as he looked away from the mirror, and at the desk. Leaning nonchalantly on the counter, opposite of him, was a woman who looked to be in her mid twenties. She had red hair, and green eyes, and wore a semi formal blouse and leggings. Her features were very beautiful, and she regarded him with a look of equal parts amusement and graciousness. She smiled at him as she gently beckoned him forward.
Jay blushed slightly as he stepped up to the counter. He blurted out the first thing that came to his mind “What is this place…?” The woman blinked before laughing. “Why, it’s the Emporium, of course! Your one stop shop for any of your desires, no matter how strange or impossible they may seem. ”
Her tone marked her continued amusement, but she did not sound condescending. Instead, she seemed excited to explain to him what she knew. “I’m Adrianna. I’ll be your caretaker, so feel free to look around as much as you want. I’ll answer any questions you might have, and if you want to buy anything, just come to me. Okay?”
She beamed at him, awaiting his response. Jay took a moment to take in his surroundings and her words. “Um…okay.” he replied softly.
