I have very special eyes...

"Thank you..." Dream Reaper nuzzled back "If I could see without having to cast this glow on my eyes, I would do so.". She continued to walk with Lovecraft. Now, this time, she was the one to ask at a random moment: "We there yet?" she giggled at the very end of her question, to show she didn't mean it seriously. |

Lovecraft rubbed noses with Dream Reaper, giggling. "Ten more minutes." She said will still laughing. What a riot her Dream was. She would always be different from the seething massive of ponies. Lovecraft knew how very big the world was, so she was dubious about saying one of a kind. So many ponies, and in her time she'd even seen dopplegangers. Ponies that looked exactly like another she'd met in her travels. But… Dream Reaper, she could definitely say, was unique. |

Dream Reaper giggled cutely in response and kept her silence along the way. By now, she had really nothing to ask or do, other than follow calmly and, sometimes, pay attention to a random noise or two that she would hear. Still, there was little to worry right now, actually nothing. Her mind went to when Lovecraft would put her plan in action, and to her role in it. |

"Okay, one note before we go in. When the salespony goes back to talk about the price to his manager, follow my lead while we're in the waiting room. They have the place bugged so that they can tell what ponies are thinking about with the price." Lovecraft said, pausing for a moment, checking to see if Dream Reaper had any questions. She wanted to play this off right. Yes, she was stinking rich. She could buy the most expensive thing in here and still not have a dent in the amount of wealth she'd accumulated over the years. But she didn't get so rich by letting ponies take her money without a good haggle on the way. |

"Alright, I'll follow your lead about this." Dream Reaper confirmed "Whatever you say, I'll follow.". Well, what could go wrong in that plan? Feels like nothing at all... Nothing at all... Nothing at all... Well, joke aside, she would really just play along. Perhaps just remain silent most of the time. |

Mmmm… What technique to use? She was thinking that she'd go for the middle range one, then let the salespony "talk her up" to a bigger, faster, more expensive one. She padded over towards a moderate speed hot air ballon and looked it over, looking to be thinking. Then a sales pony padded over and enquired what she was looking for. She gave a wistful glance to the faster, sleeker hot air balloons, then looked back to him. It was a brief thing, and something she knew any good salespony would catch up on. "Something like this, doable and enough to get off the ground from point A to point B." She said quickly, keeping her eyes glued to the moderately priced one. The Salespony looked at her, then pointed over to the hot air balloons over where she had glanced. "something tells me you're looking for something of a more swift nature." "Oh no, I couldn't possibly ever afford such a thing." Lovecraft lied without missing a beat. That was all a part of the pitch, and said lie would be obvious to anypony that knew her like Dream Reaper. Considering she'd offered the money to build up a Grand Dream Spa more than eagerly. |

"How does it look, Star Swirl?" Dream Reaper asked, "looking" around. Perhaps by now the salespony would notice her eyes could not see and something more. I don't really know, nor does Dream Reaper. She just followed Lovecraft's voice and luckly evaded a few obstacles when she was not close enough. |

Lovecraft slowed down so that she was next to the mare, wanting to be sure nothing clutch happened. Her horn hiccuped, teleporting asparagus from Celestia knows where some where random in the store. From the other side of the store it could be heard, "Yes, you get free asparagus with this purchase." She snickered at it briefly, looking back to the salespony. "It looks nice dearie, just what we need." She said, sighing whilst she said this. The Salespony looked between her and the mare, a little 'o' of understanding. He wouldn't mention it, but it was kinda sad. "Are you sure? This isn't the sturdiest model there is, and is definitely not big enough for long trips, if tou ever should need to take one." The salespony, who would be named Wheelie Dealie, asked conversationally. She could handle this sort of tactic just fine. She'd do well here. He would try to talk her into the pricer thing, interweaving sporadic nudges at the price, that it could be lower. Lovecraft shook her head. "My wallet's dismal, I doubt we could afford it. Especially with the foals coming.. We just need this so we'll be able to get it to a good school. There are no good ones where we live, so we have to go for alternate transportation." Awesome story, she was proud of herself for thinking of it. |

"I wish I could see something now..." Dream Reaper said, still following Lovecraft. Oh-hoh, it was getting funnier by the second and, apparently, the 'have pity of me' trick was working as well. Well, not that it was ALL a trick, after all this was her natural state, one that could happen with she was tired or exhausted. "Yes, and maintaining the orphanage doesn't make it any easier on our end." Dream Reaper commented that last one. Wasn't exactly a lie neither: Having lived in an orphanage, she did have some debt with them, even if they denied so. But, again, this was part of the trick right now... |

"And our funding is far from exceptional…" Lovecraft sighed, looking like she was about to cry. Wheelie Dealie was totally buying the story hook line and sinker. They were selling him more than he. Wheelie Dealie was definitely sure they'd need a bigger hot air balloon as well… It did happen that the bigger ones went faster as well. They took longer, but they went faster. And that was just Lovecraft's thought. Just was they needed. "I'll talk to the manager about a good price, but I'll be showing you towards what we have that we could cut a deal on." He showed them a ballon, a prime thing, not the best, but it would do for what she wanted. "How is this?" He asked. "We'll have to know the price naturally…" She looked to Dream Reaper, describing the hot air balloon briefly. "It's sizable, I think it could probably fit about ten ponies. It's got this misty blue cloth." Lovecraft personally liked the color. |

"I think it is about fine..." Dream Reaper said after listening to the brief description "Might help when transporting the fillies to their new home once they are given new homes. I can imagine how they future parents would love to see their arrival come by a balloon." There was not much to do on now, other than wait and see what happens. Even if they happened to come across the contents of her saddlebag, she would have a very good excuse, that also matches her job in Ponyville. So, pretty much everything has been covered by now. |

"Let me take you two to the waiting room while I talk to the Manager, I'll try and get you the best of a price." Wheelie Dealie said as he offered a hoof to the blind mare. "Would you like a hoof to help you out?" He offered, perfectly chivalrous. He wanted to do the best he could for those folks, they needed it. His manager was less than sympathetic, but he knew what to do. Lovecraft just smiled happily. "Thank you so much." |

When he offered his hoof, she looked in his direction and said "I can follow. Just be sure to keep the way, you know... Safe." Dream Reaper was indeed following their voice. "Thank you for your kindness.. It is a bit difficult to find ponies this kind nowadays, you see." Dream Reaper was lying in this, because there were indeed many kind ones. However, one could assume the place where she lives or lived aren't kind, but that all depends on their point of view, not hers. |

Lovecraft followed along quietly, making a few comments now and then, but nothing important. When they got to the waiting room she settled herself down in a chair, putting down the groceries and materials she'd been carrying. Wheelie Dealie went into the backroom to seal the deal. Now all they had to do was make sure that whatever they talked about, if they talked about anything, wouldn't contradict what they had already said. |

Dream Reaper was quiet and calm. At moments, she'd check her previous purchases, but without using her eyes. As she counted, she made mental notes about how many of each she had and for how long they would last. If the business were booming, they would not last too long, obviously. Still, hee she only bought some essentials, not all. Herbs she could find in Everfree were rather cheap here. |
