Content
A mysterious woman darkens the entrance of the base, wagon filled with exotic goods in tow...
"What's that? You don't have any money!? How horrible.... Hmm... How about I strike you a deal, then? A pouch of coins for this delectable-looking girl here. Quite the bargain, no? You won't get such a good price anywhere else!"
She's disconcertingly smooth- sleazy even. Your instincts tell you not to trust her, but before you know it a whole group of vessels have vanished down her throat and you're counting out the collection of assorted coins in your hand. With a grin, she thanks you for your business, then immediately launches into the next sale, highlighting just how incredible each of her wares is. As she cleanly deprives you of what little money you just earned, she gives you a knowing look and points to her open mouth.
"Not to worry, dear customer! I've got room for plenty~ more. You shop to your heart's content, and I shall eat my fill. A wonderful deal for the both of us, don't you agree? It's quite a common practice here, I assure you! Nyohoho... "
Just like many other gachas, VT's shop has its very own mascot, a merchant monster girl from unknown origins who sells a great variety of goods, vital to your quest. Just like many other gachas, you'll also be able to sell your units for money, except this time it will be by stuffing them down the throat of the shopkeeper directly. She'll be interactable on the shop menu, just like a secretary, with different lines depending on the context and the ability to 'sell' yourself to her, too. Be careful, though, she's not quite an ally of yours, so it's unlikely she'll be willing to let you back out once you've slid down her gullet.
