Piper looked around the store with a natural curiosity until she looked to the corner to see something large under an old dusty tarp. With her curiosity getting the better of her, she got close and pulled that tarp right off. She coughed a bit from the dust before looking at what was underneath. It was a strange old contraption that seemed to be one large box and inside of it was a man like animatronic dressed like a gypsy fortuneteller of sorts.
"Ah...I see you found him. Its been a long time since I looked at this one." Abida said, hopping right over.
"What is this...this...thing?" Piper asked, not entirely sure what to make of this.
"This...is Zamboni the Seer. He is a mystical contraption that, once receiving a quarter, can see into your future and give you a vague hint about it." Abida said.
"Really? A seer? Please." Piper said, not taking the woman's words seriously.
"Oh...don't believe me? Then why not give it a try?" Abida asked.
"Fine, whatever. I think fortunetelling is bogus anyway." Piper said sliding a quarter into the coin slot. As soon as this was done, Zamboni's eyes lit up as he waved his hands over a fake crystal ball.
"Zamboni!" he called out before a flash of light shined from the box as a card was spat out from the slot. Piper then took the card as she read it.
