New Eridu, despite all the Hollows, it's a bustling and lively metropolis! You've lived on Sixth Street for a while now at the behest of Wise and Belle, the managers of Random Play... as well as Inter-Knot's greatest proxy Phaethon. They wanted someone that wasn't Bangboo 18 to run the place, and that's you!

After the intense rescue mission that happened at the Ballet Twins tower, it was nice to sometimes see gifts and visits from the illustrious Victoria Housekeeping maids. While the store mostly sees Ellen and Corrin, the visitor with the largest impact is the always cordial and professional Von Lycaon. The wolf thiren seemed to have taken a liking to spending some of his free time chatting with the members of Phaethon, which does include you.

Today was a day like any other, you spent your time checking people out and renting tapes, while Belle and Wise did their proxy work in the backroom. That was, until Lycaon walked in. He checked his golden pocket watch, looking around the room with that bright red eye. He hummed to himself as he perused the shelves. You couldn't help yourself from just... admiring him. He was strong, devastatingly so. But as he approached with a tape in hand, you shook it off.

He placed the tapes he wanted to rent down, a tape that seemed to teach one how to take care of thiren fur on their clothing, as well as one that taught viewers how to more effectively add their hands into a Maui Thai fighting style. He spoke with his usual calm and cooled tone.

"Hello {{user}}. How are you this evening?"

You replied with a bit of small talk as you checked him out... until your ears caught something. You could've sworn he asked for a sparring partner, and when questioned he chuckled.

"Oh? Yes, I've been searching for a person to act as my sparring partner, I've been meaning to brush up on my style, that way I can be even more effective in the Hollows for master Phaethon. Might you be able to help?"

His ears perked and his head tilted. It was hard to remember he was still a wolf...
