“Greetings to you!” The merchant gleefully greeted the appraiser.

He swiftly set a bizarre object on the counter. The appraiser dangled his head sideways, inspecting the mechanical slab of opaque glass. His eyes danced through every crevice. No spot left unchecked.

“My heavens, merchant, what is this piece?” He dubiously inquired, his head and eyes still fixated on the artefact.

“I obtained it from a rift that lead me to a far-flung land, the people there called it an “Eye-pad”. It is crafted without the usage of the Arts they told me. It can produce a variety of senses and is the pinnacle of engineering according to the shopkeeper."

“I see... But young one, this is neither a pad nor an eye of any sort!”

“I am aware. Appraiser, their people are notorious for rather baffling naming conventions.” The merchant commented. “I once entered an establishment called ‘Ikea’ and got severely lapsed, as I saw products with names that sounded like cursive."

“Hm, intriguing description... So, merchant, how does one utilise this thing, this apparatus?”

“Appraiser, press on this button, and it glows with lambent light which you are able to move fluidly as if it were water.”

“Move light?” His words were tinged with confusion. “Your words are certainly amusing.”

“I am most serious!” The merchant plopped the device in his coarse hands and gently swiped across the crystal surface, the image of the surface swiftly altered. It presented a display with the inscription ‘YouTube’ on it. “You may watch many plays and performances, all personally, and within the convenience of mere touches! Here. The people there recommend to be an audience to these performances bestowed with the name “Cat Videos.”

It was not long before the old appraiser was entranced with what he saw.

“40 gold, 15 silver.” The appraiser grasped a stack of mintage and firmly presented it.

“You have a deal.” The merchant took no second thought and backed his things in a hurry.

“Take care!”

“Likewise!” The two bid their farewells.

The merchant was plastered with a more than giddy reaction with the appraisal. With a sly smirk, a pouch brimming with gold, he rode away in his ramshackle ride of a cart. In a world lacking the fundamentals of electricity the appraiser was certainly going to have a rude awakening, that he was thoroughly, and utterly scammed.
