Sist's Yearning story
Sist, quieter than usual, hadn't noticed a bag next to her. A bag that increases the value of anything you put in it?

Hmm-hm-hmm...
Sist has her wares laid out and is humming.
Normally, the moment she spots me from afar, she'd already be rattling on her goods... Telling me what's good for what and why I absolutely need it...
Maybe she's matured? Yeah, right...
Hm-hmm...
She looks happy, though. She's gotta be up to something...
When the noisy ones go quiet, you know there's trouble brewing.
.........
.........
Hey... Sist?
Oh, hellooo, Master! I get it...
Just one look, and you're just itching to make a purchase, right?
That irresistible urge you get to throw your money at me!
What are you babbling on about? I'm not buying.
Huh? Don't you feel a strong compulsion to make a purchase as soon as you see these?
Not really... Why? Did you spray something on them?
Your bag? Are you talking about something other than that magical pouch of yours?
Yes! It's a new bag that came to me not too long ago!
Oh, maybe she's talking about that thing? Is Sist's Yearning a bag?
I thought it'd be something like a pile of money so big it would crush you, or a diamond chandelier, but this is unexpected.
Does the bag have some sort of special ability?
Of course!
This bag right here... You ready?
It's a mystical bag. You put any item in here and BAM! Its value skyrockets!
Is she talking about some sort of size-expansion device or something?
Add something worth 9 Gold to this bag, and it comes out as something that'll sell at 9,999 Gold!
That's ridiculous!
You really have no grasp of how important display and packaging are, do you, Master?
Identical goods... but depending on who's holding them, how they're arranged, and what they're packaged in...
That's all it takes to drive up the price or make it fall.
Think about it. Why do you think advertising models exist?!
So basically, her Yearning is some fancy packaging to her...
Still, that's way too pricey!
Tch. You weren't planning on buying anything anyway.
So, that bag... It's actually called Yearning... It's basically your desire given form.
You're always thinking about ways to make money, so it looks like your Yearning manifested as something related to money.
Huh? So it's not real?
But you can see it, right, Master?
Everyone's been saying that this is "Classic Sist"... scamming them about a bag that doesn't exist...
*Sigh* I see everyone around you views you as an actual scam artist.
Just reaping what I sowed, I suppose.
You're more like the Fraud Dragon rather than the Amethyst Dragon.
This might sound rich coming from someone who's not buying anything, but...
Stop selling cheap products at high prices... just sell genuinely expensive things.
Like, don't lie and sell glass as diamonds... sell real diamonds.
*Sigh* You're talking as if it's that easy... It's not.
Goods that are actually expensive don't even come to some small-time merchants like me.
I mean, if I'm to sell expensive items, I'll first have to buy them, but I don't have that kind of money.
I'd like to be able to handle luxury items like her someday, too.
Yikes, did I hit a sore spot?
So if you just buy this for 9,999 Gold, Master, you'd help me move one step closer to my dream!
You haven't learned a thing!
Still... maybe I can use that greed of hers to help train her Yearning.
As they say, power IS the ultimate bargaining chip.
Wanna do a job with me, then?
If you get stronger and help out the Order, I'll cut you in on some shares or something.
It'll skyrocket one of these days, I'm sure of it!
Hmm. I don't know how big the Elias stock market will get...
But hey, the real estate market started from nothing, and look how competitive that is now.
Can't hurt! Pleasure doing business with you, Master!
