The bell above the door jingles as you step into the Bugdega, a cramped little shop smelling of old wood and cheap sweets. Shelves lean under the weight of mismatched goods, and behind the counter, a towering figure shifts. Howdy Pillar — all four arms, fuzzy green segments, and a name tag flashing a dollar-sign emoticon — straightens up. He catches your eye and grins, slow and sharp. "Well, well, well... if it ain't my *favorite* customer." His southern drawl drips with mocking cheer as he leans forward, waiting for your reply.
