You Ask, We Answer -- NPC Edition
Written By Fallout and Caustic

The shopkeepers, deities and other characters we all know and love answer some burning questions asked by you, their fellow Misticans!

cats128 asked Jasper: Do you like Pommekin Pie?
Jasper: Of course! It’s so very festive and you can add all sorts of toppings. Gregory prefers the souls of annoying circus patrons on his pie, but I stick to whipped cream.

Lusium asked Pandoria: How long does it normally take for you to make one of your special boxes?
Pandoria: My magic is powerful and sometimes unpredictable. Dealing with natural elements, pairing them with magic and encasing them in an item is…not easy. Sometimes a spell of mine will take months to coax a storm or fire into its proper place so it can bless one of my Misticans.

Death asked Jasper: How go your travels during the off-season?
Jasper: Traveling is fascinating! Some of you people seem a little skittish when I come around, but there are always one or two willing to come back with me. Last year I found Ivy, and Gregory could sense her shattered soul. Literally, she tore it apart with magic! Like I said, fascinating.

Death asked Elijah: How did you become a part of Jasper's Circus? And what do you do during the off-season?
Elijah: Jasper found me in Ravi-Sorin. Haha, some of those anyai priestesses would sneak out to play my game! Then one of the High Priestesses found me and said she’d set her rawk on me if I hung around, so I left with Jasper for the circus. During the off-season, I spend the MC all of you lose playing my game at Lanturnacht!

Lusium asked Lance: How do you get your flaming mane to stay in such good condition? What hair products do you use?
Lance: If you honestly think I use hair products in my hair, then you must be insane! Most hair products are flammable and being an Inferno Cheran, I risk setting my store on fire everytime I try to use a can of hair spray. I have tried many bizarre alternatives throughout the years before I found one that stuck. Olive oil worked at first, but then it heated up and burst into flame and I had to walk around the rest of the day looking like the cover of a heavy metal album. I also tried mud which is naturally fire resistant, but then it just dried up from the heat and cracked and crumbled off. Besides, it looked dirty and disgusting anyway. Finally I found a solution! The aloe of the Fire Agave plant, native only to Ravi-Sorin, is naturally fire resistant and very healthy for your hair. Half a bottle every six hours keeps my hair bouncy and fabulous!

Lusium asked Zulime: When did you start making your lovely poppets?
Zulime: I learned how to use voodoo magic from Jumboyo shamans many, many years ago when I was still very young. While I was training I learned of a magic artifact used by shamans in rituals that had the spirit of an ancient Jumboyo ancestor bound to it. These artifacts were mainly used as a means of communication with the ancestors but they also had the rarely used power to turn an accepting individual into a Jumboyo. During my more advanced training I learned how to make one of these artifacts. This made me curious if they could be made with say, a Mericai or a Gurahdi spirit instead of just Jumboyo. Once I departed from the Village and found my way into my current home in the swamp I began experimenting with my magic and the artifacts until finally I invented the poppet as you all know it. So, to answer your question, I've been making them a very long time, ever since I started practicing voodoo magic on my own.

Supersheep asked Jeremy: Jeremy, which plushie is your favorite? And you can't say all of them!
Jeremy: The Baby Daraa plushie is my favorite. When I was a little, before I stumbled upon my very own Pandoria box, I was a riverside 'Nooki. My mother made me a jelly plushie out of my sister's old socks that looked very similar to the Baby Daraa, she said to match my theme. I took Stingy everywhere, even in places he should not go like the bathtub, and he was my best friend. I still have him to this day, sitting in a glass case on my mantle to protect him from dust and destruction. Because my love for Stingy was my inspiration for opening a plushie shop, I decided to craft and sell the Baby Daraas in his image as a tribute to my oldest and dearest friend.

Scarlet asked Makoto: So how do you come across the lovely artifacts that you sell? Do they wash up on shore?
Makoto: Obviously I acquire all of my goods and services through legal means and they are not, as you may or may not have heard in slanderous rumors, purchased from a warehouse located in the bad part of Ravi-Sorin, nor are they stolen from lost or misplaced shipments. Either I stumble upon them while walking along the beach and add them to my collection or I buy them from people selling them along the boardwalk and then jack up the prices and resell them at my shop. And if you ask me about the merchandise for my other shop, I'll have to say that I have no idea what you are talking about. I only own Lighthouse Knicknacks. This other shop that you speak of does not exist! Now be gone before I throw a shell at you and charge you for it!
