It was another slow day today, next to no customers were walking in through the entrance of the shop. Sprawled out on her little stand Crystal kept lifting her head about an inch off the wood before letting it fall with gravity. It's not like should would get hurt or feel pain from doing so, this continued on for another hour or so. Finally she couldn't take the boredom, standing up on her stand she hops down to the ground. Gracefully landing on her face she gets back on her feet before heading to the little special door built specially for her.
Leaving the building through the secret little door hidden on the left most wall from the normal entrance she finds herself in the alley. Skipping along she has no fear of being spotted by a normal person, thanks to her Soul Patch they wouldn't be able to watch as a little doll moved around. Continuing her skipping she heads to a shop Kitai showed her, it's a quaint little shop that sells food and the like. She couldn't quite explain it but recently a craving for lemonade was taking over.
After pushing on the entrance door to this shop for 10 minutes, Crystal yet again fell face first to the ground as some man not paying attention to the doll below entered the building. Standing up yet again she wipes the dust off of herself before heading to the counter where she promptly hands the man she has come to know as Ludwig a note that says *Lemonade please!* Apparently he didn't have any, but it was possible for him to make some.
The problem Crystal had with this is it would be rather expensive for her to pay for at this moment. She reached into her tiny yellow dress with blue flowers to pull out what money she did have. Sure enough it was no where near close, which means it was time to find some cash. How could she get cash fast like this you ask? It was simple, where was the one place in any household where people lost the most amount of change?
With a plan in mind Crystal immediately heads to Ludwig's sleeping quarters while the man wasn't paying attention to the tiny moving object. After a little while she managed to squeeze herself into his apartment. From then she would immediately bee line it towards his couch, climbing up on to it before getting close to the cracks of the cushions. She would then start her perilous journey, slipping in to the cracks the doll would wiggle around arms moving every which way to grab any loose change she finds.
A good 10 minutes of searching pass before Crystal finally pops up for un-needed air. Shoving whatever change she found into her dress which contained a large amount of pockets unbeknownst to most. Continuing on her journey the doll heads to the second most likely place in a house that contains change. Squeeeezing herself under the refrigerator was the hard part, from there she quickly spotted much change which she moved to collect.
After clearing out Ludwig's house, Crystal had to figure out where to go next. She knows what change has been collected so far wasn't enough to fund his lemonade creation process. Then it hit her, squeezing back out of the apartment the little doll gleefully waddles out of the apartment area and finally out of the store. Where could she possibly be waddling to now? Simply put, to the apartment of an acquaintance she made not to long ago.
Finally after much travel on these little legs of hers, Crystal arrived at Yui's apartment. After attempting to knock on the door for about five minutes the doll figured her new friend was not currently home. Yet again she squeezes into the home, completely unfazed by how easy it is for her to break in houses. Once inside she yet again heads straight for the couch which looks pretty clean. This made the small doll slightly nervous on the loot she may or may not find.
Climbing up on to the couch, Crystal again slides into the cracks of the couch. After about 10 minutes of squirming around under the cushions she finds a decent amount of change, but that's not all. Along with the cash the little doll finds another item, this one nothing but a receipt. What makes this receipt interesting though is the purchase indicated on it. It seems Yui's spent well over $300 on a stuffed animal from someplace called build a bear workshop. If the girl wanted a stuffed animal so bad she could have just come to her, after all this doll is quite skilled in crafting just like her boss.
With the couch thoroughly searched through the next place Crystal checks is yet again under the refrigerator. Sure enough she found quite a lot of loose change there as well, if only it was this easy normally to earn money. Finally she decides to head over to the dirty clothes bin, which most people would feel strange going through other peoples clothes. Crystal had no such problems, after all it was an easier way to see what people liked. Plus it's not like the doll ever planned on letting Yui know about this.
This would of course be the moment Crystal heard the one noise she didn't want to hear. The front door was being unlocked, frightened the doll didn't now where to go and hid. That's when she spotted it. Taking all the cash she found from everywhere Crystal high tailed it to the closest closet, sure enough she found what she was looking for. Jumping into the closet she closed the door quietly, making her way into the PILE of stuffed animals hidden away.
After some time went by Crystal could hear the girl coming, walking towards the closet she was in. Suddenly the door would be opened showing Yui standing there with yet another stuffed animal. Crystal on the other hand was buried in all the others already in the closet, that is except her head which poked out enough to see. The girl scanned over her collection, sending a theoretical sweat down the doll's face. Finally the girl placed the stuffed creature down on the pile before closing the closet door. From there the doll heard Yui walk out toward the front of the apartment before the front door once again shut.
Letting out a sigh Crystal unburied herself from the pile and made her way to the front of the apartment, leaving the way she came in. Waddling away her next destination was the Kitai shop, the place she calls home. Entering through her own little door on the side of the building the doll headed straight for the refrigerator, poking her little head underneath to collect any change. Sure enough there was some, thus she grabbed it and headed towards the one place she loved more than her stand.
Traveling through the store Crystal finally made it to the workshop section. Giddy with joy she couldn't help but hop up and down some, not waiting long she pushed the door open to get inside. While in there she would start scanning the ground for anything shiny, grabbing some spare change that way. Her main goal, however, was Kitai's workbench. Reaching the desk where most of his brilliant ideas were made she begins her search. Not long after she started a gleam catches her beady eyes. Heading straight to it she reaches down to grab it, unexpectedly getting bit in the process. Moving from under the desk she tosses the evil and living coin to the ground, what to do now? Simple, she grabs the hammer close by and slams the thing till it stops moving. putting the hammer back and pocketing the coin, it was still usable after all.
With all her cash collected Crystal makes her way back to Ludwig's shop, already tasting the magnificent liquid gold. Arriving at the entrance the doll began pushing as hard as she could on the door. After enough time it started to move slowly inward, allowing the doll to barrel roll into the shop itself before the door closed. Waddling over once again to the front counter she begins her climb until she's finally on the counter top. Waving over to the owner of the store the doll places her bag of recently rolled coins on the counter, signifying she was ready for some lemonade!
