DON'T YOU WANT TASTE OF HOME?
Welcome to the new and improved Calloway's Curios! Bartholomew! Show 'em to the counter."
Wuff, replies a little red fox-like creature with a collar that reads "BART", who comes to your ankles and trots with great purpose to a polished-glass counter, where Mr. Calloway joins you, offering his same old snaggle-toothed grin before gesturing grandly to his shop.

SHOP STAPLES
SUNDRIES
RUBBER PROTECTOR 75B (per 5)
Calloway doesn't want to know what you're protecting with this disposable rubber piece, but for a pack of 5, all he'll ask is for ignorance on your personal activities and 75B.
SOOTHING BALM 100B
Though the smell is strange and remarkably pungent, Calloway is pleased to report that this substance eases the ache of the joints like nothing else does, if you can get past the tingling sensation that comes with it. Each large jar bears a tiger on the fading label. Each jar, which lasts a fair amount of time, costs 100B.
SPECIALTY ITEMS
BLOOD FRUIT 20B (per lb.)
It looks a bit like a pink onion , but with wrinkled, translucent skin that appears to have a tiny network of bluish veins running just beneath the surface. It's a bit squishy and reeks of iron. A deep red liquid fills the inside of the fruit and rushes to its surface when it is punctured.
FIRE SPELL JAR 100B
Apparently great for dealing with Brutoks, this amber glass jar is filled with some kind of liquid, a hunk of carnelian crystal, and a bit of fabric that comes out of the top. The lid is otherwise tightly sealed with red wax. Instructions on the sign say that all you need to do is light the fabric and throw for an instant fireball spell. Use with caution. 50B per jar seems criminal, but it is magic, right?
GACHA CATCH 'EM ALL
PURPLE AND RED CREATURE CONTAINER 300B [104 REMAINING]
Calloway isn't inclined to open these capsules after he'd opened two and nearly lost three of his finest shelves; now, he's offering the opportunity to find out what's in these capsules to you! No refunds, one per customer. Out of the kindness of his heart, he'll even allow people unsatisfied with their new remarkably-powerful friend to trade it to one of their neighbors who would also like to swap. Isn't he accommodating? That'll be 300B per dangerous otherworldly animal, please. this link to see which ones are still available!
CONSUMABLES
A NEARLY-FULL CASE OF "KORA'S TREASURE-HUNT SPECIAL" 250B
Eleven elegantly-decorated glass vessels of what Calloway is calling "a bottle that makes you sniff out treasure like a real pirate and party like one too" come inside a wooden crate. The twelfth is missing, and if you're a friend of Calloway's, he'll let you have a free sample from his own "personal stash." For the other eleven and the crate to take them home in, he's asking 250B.
A NICE BOTTLE OF "SEE YOU TOMRROW!" 100B
Death isn't permanent here, but if you'd like 24 hours of time away from someone, this potion will do it , apparently. For 100B, something that is arguably just an incredibly fast-acting poison its all yours!
FANCY STEED'S HEFTY JUG OF SOAP 200B
In retrospect, Calloway admits that this probably isn't actually that large of a container for a horse, and even less if someone who has several is looking to keep their equine friends nice and clean. Either way, it smells lovely, and it works well , so he's selling it for 200B.
HEALING MIST IN A CAN 200B
A screw-top can full of some sort of rejuvenating herbal spray . Calloway only recommends opening it to refill it, as it might spill some of the herbal mix if you do it before it's empty - but once it is, you can refill it and reuse it to your heart's content, all for the low price of 200B!
MAGMATIC ROCK SALT 150B
He claims that it's likely from an enchanted volcano, and it certainly glows like it, but it just feels like chunky salt to the touch . (Calloway says he can't be held liable for what happens of you try to eat it, but wants you to report back with the results if you do.) For a pouch full of it, he's asking 150B.
OFFWORLD TEA BLEND 50B
A muted flavor that Calloway is certain that anyone might enjoy, these tea leaves come pre-packaged in little bags , ready to be steeped. How convenient! The box contains 16 bags, and they're all yours for 50B.
REJUVENATING FEATHERS 200B
Need a pick-me-up? Have someone who's not holding up so well? Maybe want to keep something in your pocket just in case, all of a sudden, you kick the bucket, and you don't want to go through all the hassle of that? Apparently, these feathers can bring you back from death's door for 200B! (Calloway will not explain how he found this out.)
ASSORTED CURIOS
CURIOSITIES
CHARM OF THE EVER-HEALTHY 1000B
According to Calloway, if kept close to one's self, this aged syringe , despite having no seemingly magical qualities, keeps the user from getting sick. So long as he's kept it in his pocket, he's never felt even a bit under the weather, even for the rest of the winter (and other assorted incidents). Perhaps it speaks to his anxiety of what will happen once it's out of his hands that he's asking a remarkably-steep 1000B for it.
GAMBLER'S TOOLKIT PRICE
Fine wooden pieces, bone-carved dice, long-lasting paints, everything a skilled gambler could use for fun , profit, or all of the above! Since it's got no magical properties (and, if it does, Calloway claims no liabilities for any cheating that is done with it), he's priced it at a modest 125B.
ILLUSORY LOCKS 300B
Apparently, this nicely-braided cutting of hair will grant anyone holding it an illusion that makes them look like someone of great notoriety. "Makes for awkward mix-ups if you use it on accident," Calloway notes, almost sounding embarrassed. Regardless of what happened when he tested it, he's still asking 300B for it.
LEAPING LEAFY BRANCH 200B
"Don't go jumping fences with this in your pocket." Calloway refuses to explain further, but he'll still gladly ask you 200B in return for the enchanted stick.
MAGICAL STORBAGE 700B
"Get it? Storage? Orb? Ehh. You get it." The intricate orb glows with a magical power , and as far as Calloway's testing has found, it conjures and stores objects presented to it. But maybe there's more to its enchantment? For 700B, you can find out!
TOME OF SKELETAL DELIGHTS 300B
Have you ever wanted to be a skeleton without having to die about it? Well, now's your chance. A quick read through this book will turn you into nothing but bones, animated by magic, yet surprisingly able to enjoy all the joys of your mortal life, such as eating and drinking. It will last three days' time, and if you're killed during this, you won't disappear. Instead, you'll explode into a burst of bones that will remain after your demise. What a way to spend a long weekend! And all for only 300B.
DECOR & HOME GOODS
A COLLECTION OF NOBLE STEEDS' PORTRAITS 250B
They're remarkable shots of horses in black-and-white , some featuring their riders. Are they enchanted? Or are they just a surprisingly large collection of totally mundane pictures of equines? You'll have to be the one to take that gamble for 250B.
BLEEDING-HEART HERBAL SEED MIX 150B
So named due to the bloodstain-looking markings they leave on any damp surfaces, the plant they grow is a similar color, and seemingly has medicinal properties. Calloway doesn't intend to test that, but maybe a doctor (or a friend who loves a good risk) will? For 150B, you receive the entire bag of seeds.
(GENTLY USED) WONDROUS COOKING POT 250B
There's some soap-scum and flakes of old food on this heavy, wide cooking pot and its lid . When asked, Calloway gives you what you can only assume is his idea of his most charming smile, and says, "Well, I had to test it, didn't I?" It makes up for another dish in your sink by being a remarkable quality, and made of a rare mineral, explaining its astonishing price of 250B.
ASSORTED CURIOS (OVERFLOW)
DEVICES
CALMING REMAINS OF A CAMERA 1000b
The strange, small camera doesn't work anymore , and doesn't even have any film in it, but Calloway notes that since it's been in the shop, he's had a significantly greater peace of mind. Maybe it's got a sort of relaxing enchantment on it? For an asking price of 1000B, he doesn't seem to be rushing to be rid of it any time soon.
CURSED TOME OF DECADENT TALES 300B
Though it seems to only be a thin panel, this device contains a shocking amount of stories from another world. If asked what they're about, Calloway gets a little bit red in the face, and tells you that they're "not for kids, that's for sure." Why not find out more for 300B?
REBELLIOUS GIRL'S STORY-TELLER 150B
"Don't like to hear these sorts of things, but it might mean something to one of you lot, eh?" Calloway doesn't seem to be rushing to get rid of it , with it sitting on a shelf at a price of 150B, but it's clear he won't exactly miss it when it's gone, either.
UNHELPFUL CHATTERBOX 175B
A device that looks a bit like the radios that are still somewhat new to the town, but according to Calloway, it gives strange, suspicious-sounding advice . Like it's trying to get you to agree to something. "That's my job." He doesn't elaborate on what that means, but the radio can be purchased for 175B!
TOYS
CHATTY PONY PLUSH 100B
"I'm getting damn tired of hearing what Polly's got to say this time," Calloway remarks with nothing short of the exasperation of a man who's heard a talking toy set off one too many times. Maybe that explains the surprisingly low price of 100B for something that's still very well intact.
STRIPED INFLATABLE BALL 125B
It's some kind of toy , as far as Calloway can tell. It's fun to knock around. That's about all there is to it. How is he getting away with charging 125B for it?
WHITE BLOB'S WINTER WATER-BOX 150B
He'll flip it to demonstrate the snow , and gesture to it as if to say, "There it is. That's what it does." His flippance certainly doesn't show in his asking 150B for it.
ARMAMENTS
ARMOR
WARRIOR'S HELMET 300B
There's no power in this item, unlike the other similar-looking weaponry, but whatever material it's made of is extremely defensible. And it's purple! What more could you want? The strangely-shaped armor is yours for 300B.
ENCHANTED GOODS
HUNGERING JIGSAW PUZZLE 350B
A puzzle, depicting a beautiful scene of a cottage on a quaint woodland hill. Apparently it's got some use as a weapon; if asked how it works, Calloway isn't keen to explain out loud, but scrawls instructions on paper: "THINK OF YOUR ENEMY AND TAKE IT APART. THE RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. -G.C." He's selling this ominous tool for 350B!
SPELL-FREE DOME OF PROTECTION 550B
Though limited in whatever powers it, no magic is needed in this protective spell! Calloway didn't manage to find anything that could pierce this hexagon-plated dome. Isn't an impenetrable shield worth the only-slightly-winceworthy price of 550B?
FIREARMS
TWIN FIRELIGHT PISTOLS 450B
Seemingly having limited energy, the destructive power of these two handheld guns can't be understated. Their futuristic design makes them novel decorations once they've run dry of ammunition, as well! For 450B, both handguns are yours.
Trusty Harpoon Gun 350B
All the joys of a harpoon gun , but this one comes back to you. What more could you ask for? For 350B, nothing short of the pinnacle weapon-based convenience are yours.
WEAPONRY
CHARMING(?) AUTOMATIC CHAINSAW 400B
"Makes me nervous to think of the doctors usin' that on folks. Is it bein' pink supposed to settle people down? Just makes it harder to look away from." Despite his uncertainty about the device, it's a marvel of a MTT-branded mechanical device , and as such, is going for an asking price of 400B.
NECROMANCER'S GREATSWORD 400B
A ghastly beast of a blade, decorated with bones. Calloway isn't certain if they're for sheer intimidation, or if they've got use in raising the dead, as so many weapons in this world do similarly. Either way, he won't ask questions if you fork over the 400B for it.
GARMENTS & ACCESSORIES
BEAST'S BOOTS 250B
According to Calloway, these boots will allow you to leap great distances , but only if you do it as if you were a predator pouncing upon prey, or a wild beast scaling a cliff. He might be fucking with you. But if you're looking to cross great distances, or if you're just looking for a nice piece of winterwear, 250B may not be such a bad deal.
COMMEMORATIVE CRYSTAL-SLAYER'S EMBLEM 150B
It's a lovely little decorative pin . Calloway says that he's of a mind that it's for someone who defeated a flying crystal. "Somebody's got to deal with the damned things, don't they? Wouldn't catch me doing that." For such a high honor, such a trophy costs 150B.
GORILLA GUISE 150B
Calloway openly admits that he isn't sure why anyone would want this. But, if you'd like to run around looking like a gorilla, who is he to stop you? Well, he's the shopkeeper. But if you pass him 150B, he'll let you run out and make as much of a fool of yourself as you'd like.
"JOGboy" UNDERSHIRT 150B
It's so small, that all Calloway can imagine it being is some sort of odd undergarment. What is a JOG boy, exactly? He has no idea. Maybe there's types of boys out there the likes of which he can't comprehend. Are you a JOGboy? You could be, for 150B.
MAGNIFICENT GOWN 200B
Patterns, soft and fine fabrics , and a colorful sash to cinch the waist - what more could a connoisseur of fine dresses ask for? Well, Calloway knows well what he's asking for, which is 200B. It's a small price to be the talk of the town, as far as he's concerned.
PAIR OF RIBBONS 200B
He's not sure what material they're made of , but it's something that isn't produced on Marrow Isle, so that explains something so simple costing 200B.
PURE SILVER WRISTWATCH 200B
"Silver in these parts? Isn't that lucky?" He doesn't seem to know if it's magical, but considering that silver is a rare ore in this part of the world, it's still going for a brow-raising price of 200B.
SASH(?) OF GIANTS 200B
When Calloway tries to demonstrate exactly how this giant yellow piece of impenetrable fabric could be a "sash", he flounders with it, before giving up in a huff. Maybe that's why you'll find it's sold for a barely-discounted price of 200B.
SKY-TOUCHED ROGUE'S CAPE 500B
It isn't every day that Calloway finds something that is not only useful for those stealthy sorts, but is remarkably fashionable. Perhaps that explains the outrageous 500B he's asking for it.
CREATURES
A BIRD'S NEST BENEATH A HEAT LAMP 200B
"Gettin' into the pet-selling business, apparently. Birds. Why in the goddesses' names did I wind up getting birds?" The birds that he's complaining about aren't yet hatched, and are sitting under a heat lamp that he begrudgingly-yet-meticulously tends to. For 200B, another aspiring bird-keeper can take the nest of three off his hands.
MECHANIZED MUTT 125B
Is it a gadget, or an animal? How much can it really think? Calloway has no idea, but he welcomes you to find out for 125B. Perhaps you'll find your new best friend in this little robot!
VEHICLES
ANCIENT BICYCLE-STEED 1000B
Glowing with a magic unlike any other in this world, this steed is easy to summon, easy to cast away, and drives at an alarming speed. It shows an impressive mastery over all terrains. (Calloway doesn't advise trying to drive it on the water). Apparently it needs fuel, but it will accept just about anything as fuel, with varied results. He'll sell it to you for 1000B!
COBALT MOTORIZED BICYCLE 1200B
This powerful-looking machine will need some adjustment to its fuel source, but for the speed and sheer style of it, paying one of our town's technicians to make these adjustments when its fuel tank runs dry is a small price to pay. It'll likely be a much smaller price to pay than Calloway's asking price of 1200B, too.
ELECTRIFIED HORSELESS CARRIAGE 1300B
All the joys of your standard horseless carriage, but this one runs on electricity! Doesn't that make you a clever, environmentally-friendly sort? It's even got a radio in it - that's unmatched convenience, all for 1300B.
SUNNY MOTORIZED BICYCLE 1000B
Powered by electricity, this automatic bicycle has storage beneath its seat, a light on the front, and is a charming shade of canary yellow. To make getting around town all that easier, Calloway feels that 1000B is little to ask in return.

THE BACK ROOM
Calloway's personal collection, containing goods that are not for the faint of heart. Tread with caution.
DISCONCERTING LANTERN 200B
"I don't like it. It doesn't even got a light in it." Even with his remarks about the lantern , it's still made up of intricate steelwork, hence its going-price for 200B. He'll just keep it far away from his counter, thank you very much.
HAUNTED CRYSTAL 175B
"Pretty decoration, isn't it? You don't mind... extra things comin' with it, do you?" The extra things, specifically, are quiet murmurs of some sort of ghost-woman within, or perhaps attached, to the crystal. He's moved it to the very back of his shop. For 175B, he'll gladly see it go.
BRAMBLE'S BLESSING 350B , STRONGLY DISCOURAGED TO BE SPENT.
Calloway eyes whoever looks to hard at this ring in his display case warily, and eventually clears his throat, tapping the glass. "Don't know if you want that one, mate. Why not take a look at one of these other ones, eh?" If you're determined, he'll try to dissuade you with a price of 350B, but if you've got the brass, he's not going to stop you. It's your funeral, he supposes.
SHRIEKING STAFF OF A THOUSAND SPELLS 400B
A staff bearing a face permanently frozen in a wide scream that allegedly casts a wide array of spells, even if the user isn't magically inclined. Apparently there's no telling what it'll do, though, so it's a bit of a gamble. You can take your chances with some mysterious magic for 400B!
CUSTOM ORDERS
Have you been missing a particular item from home? Wanting the company of a pet that you haven't seen in years, or perhaps one that even died? Hear a story about an object of power from someone else's universe, and want it for yourself?
not cheap. But if someone misses something badly enough, there's few prices people won't pay.
Calloway cannot acquire fully-sapient creatures.
A downpayment of 500B is required in addition to the price of the item itself.
Items will vary in length of time needed to draw out of the multiverse; the timeline will be set in response to the custom order form.
Items will be held for a period of three months for the requester, after which they will be placed on the shelves for public purchase. CUSTOM ORDER FORM:

POKEMON GACHA
Legendaries, Mythicals, Ultra Beasts, and Paradox Pokemon are all available through this means; these are all the types that we'd had previously unavailable on the seasonal rotation of types! You can see a full list of every available Pokemon in this gacha here.
While we cannot promise anyone any specific legendary, we want to make sure that everybody's happy with what they get. Because there's so many Pokemon to choose from, we won't have the gacha be fully randomized! Instead, you can request to have certain details tailored, such as: only certain generations or a range of them (barring those legendaries being all taken), only legendaries/mythicals/etc, no paradox Pokemon/Ultra Beasts/etc, and type preference! (Or you can have it be fully random, that's a-okay too!)
Each roll of the gacha will present you with three options, allowing you to pick your favorite of the roll.
There will be a trading thread attached to this comment! If you're not satisfied with your rolls, feel free to list your Pokemon in the trading thread, and see if one of your fellow players would like to swap with you.
And, lastly: this is just for fun, and a means of using one of our minor game elements for a little extra money sink. (It's hard to get y'all to spend brass sometimes. ;P) If you find it becoming stressful, or randomized elements put you out in general, feel free to let mods know in the Discord or a PM, and we'll see what we can do to finagle your character getting a legendary if you'd really like one.
