Welcome to my shoppe~! You are now a vendor npc in an rpg! What items do you offer? What's your shop/spot like? Do you only take certain currencies? How in the world did you end up there~?!

i occasionally appear out of the fog and exchange wisdoms for fish ingots, both ways, i am simply omnipresent in every store (but they are not mine) but may disappear for a while if the wisdom is bad!

I'd sell weirdly ominous items that are always a gamble of whether they are useful or not. Or magic items that are clear in their function but highly expensive due to their quality.
As for price, the first option would be either a trade, one weird thing for another or normal money (but always slightly expensive), the second option would always be a lot of money.
And how did I get there? I'd like to know too

a little shop tucked away in a secluded corner selling potions and magic ingredients, but really i'm there to give advice

i sell knives - small cute knives. the best kind of knives. i sell them in a small shop for shiny rocks and bit coins (coins that have been bitten into). i got here because you downloaded a pirated version of the game from a suspicious looking website and i came bundled with it.

I sell plushies, with of course half of the shop being full of blåhaj and clothes/accessories for your shorks to wear so they can appear here. It has a few random armchairs filled with plushies available for free emergency cuddles. I take whatever currency the game has, but I might let you get away with not paying if you hug me long enough. I got there by taking a dip in a blåhaj pool at Ikea and falling into a portal hidden below, which isekai'd me into the game.

i sell yuri in a small book store at the outskirts of the town. i take all currencies to be able spread the word of yuri effectively. i got there by walking.

Uh... I guess I'd sell really disgusting food, haha
Any currency, but preferably Alrest-ian Gold
I have no idea how I ended up here.

i have a shop that only appears on rainy days in which you can give me flowers in exchange for seeds or magic (as in i’ll do some fairy magic for you), and if you bring me food i’ll use my fairy magic to give you excellent peach-scented luck! it appears in a break in the bushes on rainy days and when you walk inside it’s silent and feels far away from wherever you came from, like a pocket dimension! it is a thicket or meadow filled with flowers and it smells like different fruit blossoms. i also accept well-wishes as currency

I sell plants and flowers and they're only for coins.. I got there cuz the royal botanical Gardens kicked me out cuz apparently I'm "not a real employee"... they're just jealous ig

The company that handled my brain scan really fucked up. If I were still alive I'd ask for a refund.

Anyway, I repair enchanted items for free, but I cause a "glitch" that could desync your inventory size and corrupt the game's memory. "Glitch" is in quotes because I'm actually out to cause chaos on purpose. If I'm going to be stuck here indefinitely, I might as well help some players obtain weapons of mass destruction that the devs never intended to exist.
