[Because he's curious about something, he decides to remedy not using the SFC much as it's been some time since his arrival. Opening the SFC and having his face in full display while he's sitting on the couch of his apartment, people will see a young man about in his early twenties who has the same appearance as a certain other young man in town. However, this man has a completely different voice from the other whom people have heard over the network.]

Well the bubble as many of you call it as been quite fun for the time I've been here, so much has been going on I unfortunately haven't been able to keep up with it at times. To think a town such as this would be so full of excitement, I never once thought of it that way upon my arrival. [Though now he's curious about something, so he'll switch topics.] Though my musings of the town aren't exactly what I wished to talk about, it's more I'm interested in weaponry. I've been doing some reading in the library and have learned of a weapon called a pistol, I wish to learn how to use one. If there are any experts on this type of weaponry, I'd be more than happy to speak with you and we can begin lessons right away if you wish.

Oh and one more thing, I'm also interested in wine collecting. Would anyone have spare wine bottles that I could obtain or even possibly help me to find some wine cabinets? My collection is getting a bit large, so I'm attempting to find cabinets to store them in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps we could get together and look? You seem to be more of an expert on craftsmanship than I am, so I may need your expertise.

Sure, I wouldn't mind that.

So, where do you want to put the cabinet once you have it?

I may put them in my bedroom or the kitchen, possibly even by the living room window. Of course it depends upon the size we get as well.

Yeah, I don't think a bigger cabinet would really fit in the kitchen. Too bad we don't have a cellar. That's where Dad put his drinks.

It's unfortunate that we don't have a cellar and any types of wine racks would fill up too quickly, so a cabinet is the best solution for organization.

Do you really need to store that much wine, though? You could always get more at the store.

Lloyd, it's part of being a collector. You need to have all you are able to obtain, even if people see it as being excessive. The satisfaction of knowing you have so many is enough and it makes you feel some accomplishment.

O...kay... I don't think I really understand, but... okay.

[Collecting wine? Really? When you don't need to because it's free? He's just going to assume Angelo's a little bit weird. Having something on hand so it's there when you want it is one thing, but just... collecting it?]

What happens when you run out of room?

[It's a hobby Lloyd, don't look at him so weirdly.]

Well because wine can last for a long time, it's there for a special occasion or having it because you enjoy drinking it. Of course both options apply to me, so that's another reason why I collect it.

Yeah, but how do you decide when you've got enough?

[Lloyd's never really collected anything - unless you count the figurines and craft projects that are starting to pile up.]

I could ask you a similar question when it comes to your crafting projects, Lloyd. How do you know when you've done enough with them? [He's been in your room enough, he knows.]

Th-that's different!

[Lloyd gets flustered when the tables are turned on him.]

It's not like I'm collecting them. They're just something to do for fun, or when I'm bored. I just start a new one whenever I'm finished with the one I was working on.

It's not that different at all, Lloyd. Even when you start a new one after you're finished with the last... You still keep it, don't you? See? Not that different at all.

[Lloyd doesn't want to admit that Angelo has a point.]

I just don't know what else to do with it, that's all. I don't think I should throw it away after I went to all that work.

[Angelo will get Lloyd to admit eventually, because he's always right about things.]

You could give them to people as gifts or donate them to the shops.

[Lloyd blinks, startled by the suggestion.]

Hey, that's a good idea. Maybe I could even get some people to give me starfish tokens for them.

[The idea of making money piques his interest.]

Ah yes, you could sell them to get starfish tokens too. Set up a shop and sell things, I'll even help you with the finances.

A shop?

[That's another idea he hadn't thought of. But...]

I dunno. Would people really be that interested? It's just stuff I carved because I was bored. People might take them if they're free, but I don't think I'd get much more than a few tokens to spend in the Nook.

[He wasn't thinking about it from a business stand point at all, so Angelo decides to encourage Lloyd more.]

A few tokens is still a few tokens that can be spent. Wouldn't you rather have tokens to spend than none at all? I could even help you out if you'd like if we set up a small shop so you don't need to do all the work.

[Lloyd still doesn't exactly look convinced, but finally he just shrugs.]

I guess we could give it a try. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work.

So... you'll find a place for the shop?

[He ponders for a moment then gets an idea.]

What about at that Nostalgia Nook area? The main plaza is too crowded with other shops and ours will be overlooked.

That works for me. I'll look at the stuff I've made and see which ones I think are good enough to sell. Let me know when you find a place, all right?

Very well, we can meet at the apartment later tonight to discuss things further.

Got it! It's a deal.

[He flashes a huge grin and a thumbs up sign, then turns the SFC off.]
