Penacony's Dreamscape felt different from the space technology of Herta Space Station, the desperate snowscape of Belobog, and the peace and prosperity of the Xianzhou Luofu. It was fantastical and extravagant.
Stelle walked and stopped, stopped and looked, looked and walked, a little dazzled by more sights than she could take in. She spent quite some time wandering around.
Only afterward did Stelle remember what March 7th had asked her to do. She decided to ask someone for directions and picked out a nearby fellow with pink hair and bulging muscles who looked particularly conspicuous.
His name was Vitali, and before Stelle could speak, he started talking on his own.
He said he was an object tamer and showed Stelle how he worked. He picked up a whip and lashed something furiously until he exhausted himself.
To Stelle, that looked more like abuse.
Rather than working here as an object tamer, this man ought to be an overseer in the Factory!
How had Little Fish put it again?
My Factory needs talent just like you!
Stelle thought perhaps she ought to exchange contact details with him and find an opportunity to ask whether he was interested in changing jobs.
Vitali then volunteered to show Stelle his star attraction. He summoned his most popular performer-the Trashcan Eccentric!
It was a silver-gray trashcan with arms and legs!
The Trashcan Eccentric acted every bit the celebrity and had no intention of greeting Stelle.
But that was fine. Little Grey Hair would never care about such things. Her eyes were already shining.
This was so cool. Stelle remembered thinking, back when she saw the Animated Moonhide Gourd and the Animated Heartfire Bell, that she wanted Little Fish to make her an animated trashcan too.
She never expected to see the real thing here before
