Cali walked into the store that randomly appeared on her street, and looked around. It was very strange...a joke shop apparently.
It seemed empty, for the time being.

"That's strange... there's no one here..." I looked around the counter, but there was no one to be seen. As there was no one present at the moment, I decided to browse the shelves instead - perhaps there might be something interesting among the store's merchandise.

Things like gag gifts, whoopie cushions, magic tricks all lined the shelves. You noticed a box of "Balloon Animal Spray" which intrigued you.

"Oooh... huh, I wonder what this does?" I smiled curiously, as I took the can and sprayed it at the air in front of me just to see what happened.

"Be careful with that..." he said as you watched a Balloon Animal appear out of thin air.
"It's...a bit toxic if inhaled" he said, sounding unsure of his response.

I turned around at the sound of the voice. I hadn't seen anyone on my way in, so hearing someone speak was a bit of a surprise to me. "Hello!" I called out. "Is someone there?"

"Oh...Hello" the voice said as you turned around. There was a doll sitting on a nearby shelf.
"Chuckle's will be right out." it said. "I just don't want you to get hurt."

"Ahhh... okay." I nodded at the doll, as I set the spray can back on the shelf and took the balloon animal in my hands, idly turning it around a bit and smiling as I looked at it, before I looked back up at the doll. "Well, I know better by now than to doubt the existence of dolls that can talk and suchlike... so thank you for letting me know about that! I'd have been in a real fix if I had gotten poisoned or something."

"No problem." it said.
"Admiring the toys?" said another voice. Turning around there stood a clown with wavy blue hair and, of course, a red nose.

"Oh!" I turned to the clown-man as he addressed me, and smiled. "If by 'admiring' you mean 'having a conversation with', then sure. Hi! Are you the one in charge of this store, or are you just visiting?"

"I am the Chuckles of the sign, my dear. This store is all mine...and the customers, of course." he laughed.

"Well, it's nice to meet you! And I'm Cali." I smiled, as I reached my hand out to shake his... as he returned the favor and I shook his hand, I felt something shake in his hand and heard a loud 'buzz!' I gasped, drawing my hand away in my surprise. "Wah! What was that?"

"Hand Buzzer. Gets em' every time. Well, Cali, what can I do for you..." he said with a chuckle.

"Oh... oh! Well, at the moment I'm just browsing..." I smiled. "This is a really interesting store you have here, you have a really wide variety of items! I have to wonder, though..." I looked over at the balloon animal spray, then looked back to Chuckles. "Do you have any more... umm... balloon-related items?" I smiled, blushing a bit after my mention of the balloons.
