Playing Matchmaker- 'Stop In the Name of Love' adventure
Who: Sylvando and anyone who wants to help him
When: Around noon
Where: Outside a certain shop in Anastra
What: Oh, if only Eleanora could catch the eye of that handsome gentleman, who strolls past the store where she works each day at noon. His smile, his courtesy, his fancy hat -- this is what dreams are made of.
*************************************
The Great Sylvando could hardly turn down such a heart-felt request from a lovely young lady, now could he? After getting some relevant information from her- what the young fellow looked like, what time he usually passed by, what sort of clothes he wore, etc.- and giving Eleanora a few bonus hair and make-up tips that would make her more likely to catch his eye once they did get him to stop in, they came up with a plan. It so happened that the shop was having a sale that day, and Sylvando set up a small, makeshift stage just outside it, ostensibly to drum up interest and draw in customers. With the shop owner's permission, Sylvando was juggling several of the smaller, less breakable items included in the sale, both displaying the products and allowing for a few puns.
"Come on in and have a ball, all you lovely people!", he called out to the passers by, keeping an eye out for that one special fellow, as well as anyone he might be able to enlist to assist him. "As you can see, these items are just flying off the shelves! Catch them now before they disappear!" A little slight of hand, and two of the items he was juggling seemingly vanished only to be pulled out again with a flourish a few moments later. "Come one, come all to the finest shop in Anastra today! I'm certain you'll love what you see!"

She can't pay much, but she'll make you and your friends lunch any time you want. Just please find a way to stop that man in front of her shop, and get him to come in!
