"Thank you. Now what do we have here....

Read both the newspapers I have

Sorry about the delay, I had writer's block and was tired from staring up too late last night. Okay so from the newspaper you started off with, the headlines you can make out include:
War in the streets: Taoist and Curfew forces clash over Teflon trafficking operation
Seaside Shrine being torn down after 0 years of service
The Edgelord menace: Growing threat or passing fancy?
The price of flesh plummets amidst improved growth methods
Impostors in Akasha: A new kind of Nightmare
Construction begins on the Seaside Shrine

And from the new paper you received, the more interesting headlines are:
Everything I cook tastes like the Russian Revolution!
Crooked Cops: Mimicry epidemic hits the Taoist Coalition
Nightmare of the Month: The New King
Explosion levels city block
Neutrino Golems terrorize early morning commuters
Scattered saturation bombing expect to continue until the end of the week
Fading Giants slay colossus as a Dreamer takes on the Bourgeoisie
Priceless artifacts put up for auction

Stacy gently snuggles the mochi.

Snuggling intensifies.

Wait, there's a magecraft stall?  Sounds like somewhere to talk about pyrogenesis.  Pun not intended but appreciated.  Go there.

Yep, only just read the area description post now?

The shopkeeper is a large dragon with root-like appendages for limbs and a fractal set of wings reminiscent of tree branches. Its entire body is covered cabbage leaves that have ossified into sturdy plates of bone bearing striped patterns. It is sitting in a pile of bills you do not recognize, many of which seem hazy, lacking in detail. Surrounding it are its wares, hanging up from the floor inside their snuffboxes. As you approach, its raises its head and locks eyes with you.

Janet asks.... if that is how she would buy something.... for a bandage.

Its tune shifts to inform you that a 5 centimeter by 4.1 meter gauze bandage costs 2.50 credits, assuming of course that is what you are looking for.

Lily looks at the jacket angrily, and leaves it on the floor.

The jacket is now on the floor. Unfortunately, your hateful glance fails to damage it further.

"Hello."

[Empiricist]

"Hello."

It squints, its enormous reptilian eyes narrowing on you as it cocks its head before speaking. It's voice is like the creaking of a tree trunk, one that resonates within its unmoving jaws that remain tightly shut even as it speaks.
"Yes?"

[TheBiggerFish]

Er, demonstrate.  Really quietly.
"So...Er.  Magecraft?"

[Empiricist]

Er, demonstrate.  Really quietly.
"So...Er.  Magecraft?"

"So it is you after all. Yes. Do you not recall? You purchased it from here."

[TheBiggerFish]

"No, I'm afraid I don't.

I don't remember much of anything except waking up maybe 5 minutes ago with a headache."

[Empiricist]

"No, I'm afraid I don't.

I don't remember much of anything except waking up maybe 5 minutes ago with a headache."

"Then what do you wish to know?"

[TheBiggerFish]

"Well, uh, how am I supposed to use this, are there any warnings I should know about...Do I still have the complete product..."

[Empiricist]

"Well, uh, how am I supposed to use this, are there any warnings I should know about...Do I still have the complete product..."

"It is hard, hard but still possible to forget an idea. But you still seem to have it nonetheless. It is a simple product, one that conjures fire in your palm. Nothing more."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Ah.

How did I pay?"

[Empiricist]

"Ah.

How did I pay?"

It gestures downwards with one of its roots.
"In the currency of Akasha - memories bound to notes."

[TheBiggerFish]

"That might be why I don't remember anything.  Then again it might just be the hangover..."

[Empiricist]

"That might be why I don't remember anything.  Then again it might just be the hangover..."

"Paying with your own memories? Heavens, no! The memories of a Dreamer are far too impure to have value. You must have obtained the credits somehow. How, I know not, nor do I care to know."

[TheBiggerFish]

"Oh, good.  It's....Wait, Dreamer?  Huh?"

[Empiricist]

"Oh, good.  It's....Wait, Dreamer?  Huh?"

"Your kind are called Dreamers, for that is what the first of you who came here named themselves. We, are Nightmares. That is our name. That has always been our name. If not in tongue, then in meaning."
