Open on Eda's human collectibles stand in the market. King is jumping on the table, trying to grab a flag hanging above him

King: Weh!

Scorpion: You're not going to reach that flag, King. You're going to fall off the table if you keep doing that.

King: Shut up Scorpion, if I focus enough I will reach it!!

He falls off the table

King: Stupid flag!

She walks in carrying a ladder and a wooden sign

Luz: It's been a little slow around here, but I've got just the thing to attract customers.

She puts the wooden sign on top of the "HUMAN COLLECTABLES" sign and taps it, activating the light glyphs carved into it

Luz: And who doesn't like their name in lights?

Fully illuminated, a winking face of Eda appears.

Luz: Is it too subtle?

Boscha: Does subtle mean ugly?

Boscha, Skara, and an Oracle track student are standing at the stand

Scorpion: Oh great it's you.

Luz: Hi, Boscha! Hexsidians! See anything you like?

Boscha: Ew! No. I'm just here to take an ironic Penstagram next to your weird flashing trash sign.

She summons her scroll and takes several pictures

Luz: It's not funny, Boscha.

Boscha: What are you going to do? Spit your humans venom on me?

King: You have venom? Quick, Luz and Scorpion, start melting faces!

They kneels down

Scorpion: Even if we could, it's not worth it. You wouldn't understand how to handle teens like her.

He grabs the Scorpion mask

King: No, I'll show you what to do.

He grunts and jumps onto the table

King: You will tremble before me!

The three teens stare at him

Boscha: Oh, he's so cute!

She hugs King and summons her scroll, taking a picture with a filter

King: Weh!

He shoves her face

Boscha: How much? I have to own him.

He frees himself

King: You couldn't afford me, sister!

All: Aw!

King: That's the incorrect reaction!

She sniffs

Eda: I smell an easy mark.

She jumps out of the tent

Eda: Hey, kid! Can I offer you the latest fashions from...

She magically dresses herself in horribly clashing clothes

Eda: the human realm?

Boscha: Yeah, no.

Skara and the Oracle track student laugh as the three of them leave

Eda: Well,

She returns to her normal outfit
