You leave the Red Rose. Rose waves at you as you go, but you think you hear her mutter something under her breath as you leave.
You get to the Hogshead. It looks like a much more typical general goods store. You head inside. A gruff, muscular man with a handlebar mustache is sitting behind the counter. "Welcome."
This place... doesn't smell as nice as the Red Rose. It's kind of musty. But there's a much better selection. Even this early, a few customers are poking around.

Yulie looks about the store, trying to take mental notes for her own shop, then approaches the mustached man. "Hey! I'm Yulie Kohdyna, owner of the Fanged Dragonhide and newest shopkeep in town. It's nice to meet you!" Yulie extends her naive hand for a handshake.

"Monty."
He shakes your hand.

Yulie isn't disheartened by the mostly silent response, but we really know everything about the place we care about for now. "OK! I'll see you around, Monty!" Yulie dips out of the shop, and... let's just head back to go to sleep now.

You go to sleep.
You awaken to the sound of someone pounding on the door. "Miss Kohdyna! It's Jack. Your goods are here."
You find a cart laden with all your orders sitting in front of your shop. "Alright, come on. Let's get this stuff set up." He helps you bring it all inside. "We can do the more advanced stuff later. For now, let's start with the basics. You can assign sell prices to all your items in advance, or leave them blank and let customers make you an offer. For your first batch of goods, I advise trying to make at least 1,200G. More would be better, obviously, but we don't expect miracles. All the stuff you bought should sell pretty well. Alright, you set whatever prices you want and tell me when you're ready to open."

You open the shop. You get a few curious customers. Most leave without buying anything.
A nice, older woman waddles over to the counter. "Oh, eggs. This is just what I needed for my baking. These are kind of... they'll serve."
A young man looks a bit lost. "Hmmm... Yeah, good enough. This'll work." He buys a hoe and watering can.
A young woman comes in around lunch. "I broke my knife... I'm such a klutz!" She picks up a simple cookware set. "I guess I should replace all the stuff I broke the last week, too..."
You made 249G!
The last customer comes in just as you're planning to close. You recognize Rose immediately. "Hello, Dear. I just had to come see your opening day, of course. You understand." She pokes around the store a while. Clearly judging your stock and arrangement and prices. "Oh, what a... charming... dress," she says with a disapproving frown. "Though the price seems a bit... much. What say I give you, oh, 39G for it?"
Jack sits back, watching what you'll do.

Yulie raises an eyebrow, placing her hands on her hips. "Sorry, Rose. You know we're friends, but I can't let the price go down to anything ridiculous like that. I can go 45G, but that's absolutely it."

"I know how easy these are to get. Really, I'm doing you a favor at 42G."

"If you really want to do me a favor, you can become the owner of that dress, but only after you buy it from me at a completely reasonable rate. I'm stopping you at 44G."

"Fine, fine," Rose says. "I can deign to spare a few coins."
You complete the transaction and she leaves with one of those finger-wagging waves.
"Mm. That's it for your first day," Jack says. "Come on. Let's hit the town. I'll treat you to a round at one of the taverns."

Yulie lets out a low whoop of excitement. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get going, Jack! The sweet taste of victory after a job well done awaits!"

You let Jack take you to one of the taverns.
He goes to the bar, drops some money, and comes back with some booze.
"Coming by the bar after work will cost you a few coins, but it's a good way to get some information. Could be useful. Or not."
You overhear a pair of people talking. "Did you hear that monster attacks are on the rise?"
"Yeah. The kingdom's stretched thin trying to defend against them all. And there's been a shortage of new recruits for the guard corps..."
"It's a pretty serious problem. We used to be able to count on random adventurers to keep monsters in check, but..."
"...Yeah."
"But now they're forming an official Adventurer's Guild!"
"Huh?"
"Mm-hm. They'll be tracking bounties on strong monsters, buying monster parts, things like that..."
Jack pretends he isn't listening to them, as well. He takes a sip of his beer, then puts it down. "That's good for us, too. We'll be able to buy parts from them at a discount, instead of straight from adventurers. Never was a reliable system. The guild's still be established, though..."

"Oh, I get it! So then we can sell the monster parts in the shop for a profit?" Yulie hits the booze, but only for the sociability of it; she was never that big a fan of the stuff.

"Eeeyup. Dunno what we'd be selling them for in a town like this, though..." Jack takes another drink. "Monster parts are big in places with a lot of mages and craftsmen. We got a few people in town with more money than sense, though, so maybe you could luck out if you were the only one with some rare part."
