// Somehow I really doubt we can outrun Rumia.  She's probably the most Youkai-like of all the Youkai

> Quick glance at the stand to see what is changing
> "Rumia!  What if she's someone from the village that just agreed to work here in exchange for something.  Besides how do you know you'll be able to get more meat without the shopkeeper?"

//Not sure.  It depends on how likely Rumia will eat us.
//On the other hand the stand having a timeshare on Rumia sounds interesting.  That is the minimum that I expect from this ordeal.

// Caveat emptor!  I'm curious to see what'll happen to Rumia, might give us some sense of how powerful the shop is. At least she wont be able to eat us afterwards since we're a paying customer

>Read the message on the stand
> Exchanges: Make any request and provide any payment you possess. Anything can be exchanged, the result depends on the value of what’s traded.
> Note: Do not destroy our stand, as it is currently our best way to contact others for exchanges.
> Examples: Request for food outputs poor quality food. Sincere / Kind request or extreme threatening for food outputs better quality food.
> There is a small picture of a figure speaking to the empty stand below the text, and food appearing atop the stand in another picture next to it.
> "I would've just wrote: 'If you give something, you get something.'" Rumia speaks.

> Aha!  The shopkeeper won't be able to fulfill any requests if she's eaten, so to get her to fight back we need to exchange for something quick!

> Do we have anything the shop might consider valueable on us? (Including knowledge and other intangible goods)

> You know a little about Gensoko. Maybe that's valuable? There's also the phone you have.

> You start to sneak away towards the village...
> "Next... In exchange for telling you about the person you looked like-" Rumia seems to begin another trade, oblivious to your departure.
