Open on Eda's human collectibles stand in the market. King is jumping on the table, trying to grab a flag hanging above him.

King: Weh! *Falls off the table* Stupid flag!

AJ is leaning in a chair with his feet on the table, KF in his lap and it's chain coiled around his right arm.

Luz walks in carrying a ladder and a wooden sign.

Luz: It's been a little slow around here, but I've got just the thing to attract customers.

She puts the wooden sign on top of the "HUMAN COLLECTABLES" sign and taps it, activating the light glyphs carved into it.

Luz: And who doesn't like their name in lights?

AJ: People who dislike self promoters?

Fully illuminated, a winking face of Eda appears.

Luz: Is it too subtle?

AJ: Hmm.. *cupping his chin*

Boscha: Does subtle mean ugly?

Boscha, Skara, and an Oracle track student are standing at the stand.

AJ: Ugh. *Sits up straight* Greetings Boscha.

Luz: Hi, Boscha! Hexsidians! See anything you like?

Boscha: Ew! No. I'm just here to take an ironic Penstagram next to your weird flashing trash sign.

She summons her scroll and takes several pictures. AJ growls at this and stands up with KF having an agitated look too.

Luz: It's not funny, Boscha.

Boscha: What are you going to do? Spit your human venom on me?

King: You have venom? Quick, Luz, AJ, start melting faces!

AJ: *Goes to grab KF's handle* I can melt them in a different way.

Luz: *Stops him* No one is melting any faces.

AJ: I was just gonna scare them. I wasn't gonna burn them. *KF blows raspberrie embers before retreating to it's handle* Not too badly anyway.

Luz bonks his head.

Luz: *Kneels down* Besides even if we could, it's not worth it. You wouldn't understand how to handle teens like her.

King: *Grabs her hood* No, I'll show you what to do.

AJ: The worse you're gonna get out of them is alot of "Aww".

King: Oh yeah? I'll show you! *Grunts, jumps onto the table* You will tremble before me!

The three teens stare at him.

Boscha: Oh, he's so cute!

She hugs King and summons her scroll, taking a picture with a filter.

King: Weh! *Shoves her face*

AJ: Told you.

King: Stop talking!
