The Magpie Emporium, Thursday (5/7)

Steph stared across the counter at the gremlin clutching a set of miniature dice in both arms and radiating a distinct sense of displeasure.

The gremlin stared right back. Disapprovingly.

"They're basically you-sized," Steph said, eyebrows scrunched up into a shape that ought to be physically impossible out of sheer confusion. "I don't understand why this is an issue."

The gremlin gesticulated frenetically in response, eventually miming out a sequence that looked a lot like a little kid holding a bowling ball in both hands and then heaving it down the lane shot put style.

Steph blinked slowly half a dozen times as she puzzled that one out.

"You... don't think it's as much fun as rolling oversized ones?" She glanced over at the very fancy giant resin d20s stacked up into a little pyramid, each one 1.5 times the size of a softball. "No, you know what, that's completely fair."

The gremlin set the miniature dice set down on the counter and kicked it, then hopped down to the floor and scurried back to its group table.

I should probably be more alarmed that this is a completely normal part of my regular workday, but, eh.
