Yo-yos
 
All right. So first, the bulk of the purchases will be the yo-yos. I’ve pegged the cost of each yo-yo to be roughly 500k beli, although it’s only a rough gauge going off of previous purchases. With that in mind, I wonder if I can’t achieve some kind of discount considering Razune made them. Maybe 400k? The string of each yo-yo is ten feet unless noted otherwise.

Lackadaisical Owl – This yo-yo is one Razune constructed in an attempt to mimic high-quality yo-yos that spin for great lengths of time without stopping. However, it was constructed a little too well, for it will spin, or “sleep”, at the end of its string for hours before stopping, and once still it will resume at the slightest touch. This hypersensitivity is caused by the material at the center of the yo-yo being a little too smooth. Additionally, the head of the yo-yo is comprised of bulky brown padding instead of the typical plastic. This means the yo-yo can’t strike things very hard, but is always silent, even when it hits something. This is Razune’s oldest yo-yo.

Reckless Eagle – This is not a yo-yo; it’s a set of disks attached to a string. That is, this bright orange “yo-yo” doesn’t spin at the end of its string, instead sliding up and down the string as one yanks the string around. Razune started with a fully functional toy, but as the result of her tinkering she produced this broken toy – it spins very poorly, and to get the body to move with any real force, one must be moving one end of the string fast enough so that inertia drags the body to the other end. Reckless Eagle slides up and down its string faster than any of the other yo-yos, although it almost always adheres to straight trajectories.

Temperamental Housecat – What a stubborn, silly yo-yo. This smallish light yellow yo-yo is very erratic in its movements – whereas Razune’s other creations usually stick to certain patterns, it’s impossible to tell how quickly this one will move. This is because the yo-yo tends to “catch” on the string as it spins, at random intervals, so that the speed of the body is constantly changing. This affects the direction of the yo-yo as well, meaning that Housecat generally moves at whatever speeds it feels like, and often strays from Razune’s intended trajectory. Incidentally, this yo-yo is “lazy” more than it is “active”, so most of the time it’s refusing to “obey” Razune’s commands.

[Teehee, this next one is my favorite. But, Razune didn’t make this one, so price should be adjusted accordingly]

Bad Dog – Bad Dog makes the Housecat look like a perfect little angel. This yo-yo boasts a body that is larger and heavier than any of Razune’s others, with a scarred black exterior. In lieu of string, Razune wields Bad Dog with a length of chain. Even so, she feels Bad Dog “straining” at the end of its chain whenever she throws it out, and although this is due to the increased weight of the yo-yo, the girl attributes it to the yo-yo’s violent nature. Because she doesn’t trust this slightly scary yo-yo, the chain is only five feet long as opposed to her usual ten feet.

Clingy Familiar Frog - The caliber of this yo-yo is above that of Razune’s other yo-yos, on par with Terrible Enemy Spider, only in the opposite way. Clingy Frog is lily green in color with swirly patterns on it, with a surprisingly thick pink string that functions like a very stretchy elastic cord – it’s ten feet in length, and can stretch up to twenty feet in total. Additionally, the string is moderately sticky, and tends to cling to most things with the exception of itself and the body of the yo-yo. So, even when Razune tries to let go of this yo-yo, it will “cling” to her out of “affection”.


So those are the yo-yos I’d like to buy. In addition, however…The other two yo-yos of this set, Fanciful Butterfly and Playful Dolphin have already been purchased here but if possible I’d like to rewrite their descriptions so that they read more similarly to these yo-yos. Nothing will actually change about the yo-yos, I think, but tell me if I do alter something. I’ll copy the descriptions here, and then follow up with my revisions. Actually, I never specified the length of the old ones. I hope ten feet should be acceptable, although I can tone it down.

Old Playful Dolphin
 
This yo-yo is an ugly, grayish-blue in color, but when wet it turns a vibrant aqua blue. Its string is colorless and moves sluggishly, but with water it also turns blue and is then able to move fluidly until it dries off. This yo-yo's functions are barely hampered underwater.


Old Fanciful Butterfly
 
Small, light, pink, yo-yo with thin, fine string that is hard to see. This yo-yo is extremely manueverable in the air, but does not like going straight. It will float in water, but when wet its color fades somewhat and the yo-yo becomes sluggish and slow.


Now…

New Playful Dolphin
 
Playful Dolphin looks utterly unimpressive; its of standard size and conforms with Razune’s favored ten feet, and moreover, the body of this toy is an ugly, dull grayish-blue in color. The string is colorless and the yo-yo spins sluggishly and slowly as a whole. However, when submerged in water the yo-yo turns a vibrant light blue in color, as does the string; when wet, the yo-yo’s movements become extremely fluid until it dries off. This yo-yo’s functions are scarcely hampered underwater.


New Fanciful Butterfly
 
This yo-yo looks incredibly delicate – it’s Razune’s smallest, with the light pink body’s radius being about two inches. It’s very light as well, and its fine, thin string is very hard to see. Fanciful Butterfly is Razune’s most maneuverable yo-yo in the air, and may describe elaborate paths through the air, but it does not like to go in a straight line. Butterfly floats in water, but when wet the pink color fades so that its almost white, and when the string is dampened, this yo-yo becomes unwieldy in the air, and slow./quote]

Hopefully these revisions are acceptable.




Now that the yo-yos are covered, the other things I’d like to buy are…

  • A red jump rope that is six feet in length. However, the plastic handles can slide along the smooth red rope, and then be fixed in place by twisting them, so short children like Razune can jump rope with an effectively shorter jump rope.
  • A soft pink hoola hoop that is solid, but surprisingly light. It’s size obviously brands it as made for children.
  • A very large toy box – like, the size of a closet, except sideways, and slightly more box-shaped – that is decorated in the likeness of a treasure chest. There’s a big, fancy looking lock, but it doesn’t do anything.
  • Legos, of all the colors of the rainbow instead of the usual red, yellow, and blue. I’d like to buy enough of these to construct, say, a cube with a side length of five feet. So one hundred and twenty five cubic feet?
  • I’d also like to buy building blocks – the square ones with numbers and letters on the sides. I’d like to buy roughly enough to, again, craft a five foot cube.
  • A small jack-in-the-box that looks like a present. After one winds the crank three full revolutions, a cartoon bunny head will pop out from the top, beaming and bouncing. It takes considerable effort to stuff the head back into the box.
  • A stuffed purple T-rex that’s one foot tall, with black beads for eyes and a tongue that protrudes slightly from its mouth.
  • A large stuffed giraffe that is three feet tall, although most of that is the neck.
  • A plastic tea set. The saucers, kettle, and cups are all the same cheery shade of pink. Tea not included.
  • A stuffed eagle.
  • Three small tops that whirl for about a minute if Razune throws them correctly. One is orange, one is green, and one is blue.
  • A stuffed hippo.
  • Two handfuls of little green army men, wielding an assortment of rifles and bazookas.
  • Two stuffed elephants.
  • Four stuffed dogs with oversized heads. One is a Dalmatian with a firefighter hat, one is a Chihuahua, one is a beagle, and one is a poodle with a bow on its head.
  • Ten bouncy balls of assorted colors.


…Can I afford all that? …Well, assuming I can, let’s move on.




Yaay outfits. Someone help me price these.

Girl’s Sailor Outfit


Girl Scout Uniform
 
This outfit consists of a white shirt and a light green skirt. Atop the shirt, one wears a green vest that matches the skirt, and the same green color is again repeated in the beret one wears with this outfit. Over the vest, Razune wears a black sash that’s adorned with dozens of prestigious badges that she awarded herself. Also, Razune wears olive green shoes with these clothes that are made for trekking through the wilderness.


Magical Girl Outfit
 
…Yeah, this is pretty much an exact replica of Razune’s original outfit, which got ruined recently. See her picture for an exact image. It’s basically an orange skirt, and an orange shirt with a cape that falls to her legs. The sleeves are detached from the shirt, and…You know what, I’ll just show the picture.

Orange Magical Girl


SHE’S A DINOSAUR RAWR





…So yeah, can I afford all of this with 5.95m beli?

Well, I forgot to confirm and pay for this. I should probably do that. But I need a few more things.


  • A small bed of mahogany wood, sized for children. The sheets and blanket are a soft shade of pink, and surprisingly thin. What sets this bed apart from others is that the sides of the bed rise about four inches above the mattress, effectively enclosing the sleeping space as the railing of a crib might. There is no space beneath the bed, guarding against potential monsters.
  • A roloduck; a wooden duck family, consisting of a mother duck and five ducklings, held together by a string.
  • A rubber duck with an eyepatch.
  • An orange scarf.
