Team Journalistix are pensive. Nina is pushing a large cart of spoolstone towards Wear n' Flair and they need to get a good price. No interviewing here just cold, hard and determined haggling. Something Nina is good at. Her mum, a Delcatty, is an auctioneer and would have been unamused with her daughter's ambitions in journalism had it not been for Nina's twin brother. Tani, on the other hand, is way too generous and would probably have given the spoolstone away for 5 star coins or something.

"So, how much do you want for the spoolstone." Chantelle, the annoyingly smug Furfrou, asked.

"We were hoping for 150 star coins." Nina said, a large smirk appearing on the Skitty's face when she saw the Furfrou's shocked expression, not realising that Tani was actually mimicking it.

"150!! THAT MUCH! NO WAY! 80 and I'll take it." The snooty Furfrou did not forsee what was coming.

"Nah, that's nowhere near enough. 140. C'mon its gotta be worth that, ehh?" Nina was relishing this.

"NOO! 90 and that's final." Chantelle was getting really flustered now, where did this child learn to haggle so much.

"I bet I could make a lovely pair of silk gloves with this. Ohh, how you'd miss out if you didn't buy this exquisite cart of spoolstone, freshly mined for your leisure, and of the finest quality. Ooh, maybe if you don't want it I could start my own accessory business. Oh, how much money I could make." Nina's cunning plan worked a treat.

"Ahhh! Don't you even dare you little brat. 125 just to get rid of you."

"You got a deal. Tani bring the rest in." Nina leaned on the counter of the shop with the most cunning smirk ever seen, while the cart was moved telekinetically into the main part of the shop. The Furfrou was glad when she saw the back of that little madam of a Skitty. Just like that Delacatty, Mona was it, that managed to sell me an entire set of vintage clothing for 500 extra star coins than I was willing to pay for them. Grr. Chantelle was clearly writhing in her thoughts.

"Result! Did you see that annoyingly prim Furfrou's reaction. I bet my mum Mona'll be proud of that one when she next tries to flog vintage stuff at her." There was a glint in her eye, thinking to when her mum said that she'd be doing just that later that day. Oh, that Chantelle won't know what hit her. All Tani could do was stare exasperated at her feline friend and the ridiculous price she managed to sell the spoolstone for.

Well then, an actual backstory for one of my characters, shock gasp horror. I watch way too much antiques programmes so when I saw this errand I had to do it. Don't expect Team Galaxus to try though.
