The Toyshop

The Toyshop

0 INK

In Nakoto there is a new toy shop that has gained popularity. But rumors say bad things about its own. When teens investigate about it, the are possibly in danger.

1,118 readers have visited The Toyshop since Aniihya created it.

Introduction

In a town in Japan called Nakoto, there was once an abandoned house. It was once a toy shop with toys that made every child in town happy. After being abandoned over 40 years ago, a new toy shop has opened inside it. It is run by a rather old fashioned young woman who always wears kimonos. She seems to love to make children happy and many like her, but some bad rumors from older residents say that she isn't the woman she seems to be and is the same person who ran the toy shop over 40 years ago and hasn't aged a single year over this time. Rumors also say that she kidnaps children and teenagers who dig too deep to find out about her and turns them into brainwashed mechanical beings. It may be just a rumor or a exaggeration but something about the woman still is a bit suspicious and some want to find out what it is, even if it may be dangerous.

Nakoto: Nakoto is a nice and small town with a population of 7000. Most houses are of traditional architecture or have some traditional architectural elements. There are also two shrines and a small buddhist temple. On the former main road (now a quiet side road to the main road) is the toy shop. It is inhabited by the shop owner and her helper, who is believed to be a child or younger sibling of the woman. On the present main road, there are a couple shops, cafes and restaurants. The town has a small train station and is surrounded by rice fields with mountains in the distance to the west.

"Okay say, 'Gogo ni wa rōrāburēdo wa tanoshīdesu.'," Sakura giggled, as she strode forwards in her rollerskates with her friend by her side. Her friend soon parted as her house was near and her mother had strict rules about certain things. "Sayōnara!" Sakura said as she watched friend disappeared into the horizon. Sakura continued to skate forwards, looking for the new toy shop all her friends had been gossiping about. There it was in all its glory, it looked peaceful and pleasant yet dark and mysterious. Rumours had been spread about the owner of the shop but that was another reason why she wanted to go in and investigate. At first Sakura became unsure as she began to twist the golden door handle but she attempted to be brave. Due to the rumours, Sakura decided to speak Japanese because apparently the owner was a traditional Japanese woman with strict rules to follow her race. "Kon'nichiwa, daremoga koko ni aru?" Sakura called as she entered the toy shop. That meant 'Hello, is anybody there?'. She waited for a reply.

Kaede heard a voice from inside the store. "Hello may I help you?" Kaede said as she came through a door. She said this in japanese. Kaede looked to be a friendly woman with long hair and a long red kimono with a yellow blossom pattern on it. Her obi (belt) had the same color and pattern of the kimono. The store itself had everything from stuffed animals to mechanical pets, all made by Kaede herself. They were toys that facinated kids of all ages, even the ones who hadnt grown out of the love of toys. Inside the walls were of an old black wood and cute banners and posters hung on the walls.

"Ā, kon'nichiwa.Watashi wa anata no omocha no ikutsu ka o sanshō suru baai, soreha daijōbudesuka?" Sakura said with a smile, it  meant 'Oh, hello. Is it okay if I browse your toys?'. She gazed in awe of the many toys, it seemed mystical and magical, like anything could happen. The woman was fairly pretty and not at all how the other children had described her. A few mobiles were hung overheard and Sakura traced the little wooden statues hanging off colourful ribbons.

(OOC: You dont have to write every sentence in japanese. It is a given that if they are in japan then they are speaking japanese. So you can just write your sentences in english.)

Kaede smiled and said: "You are welcome to browse the toys. There is everything the heart desires and if you wish for something you dont see here, I can make it." In that moment a guy came into the store. He seemed to be in his 50s or 60s and picked up a stuffed panda. He then let out a grunt and threw the panda on the ground and stepped on it. "I wont fall for your tricks. I know what you are planning and I wont let you take my friends like back then." "Please dont step on it!" Kaede cried. "I dont know what you are talking about!" "It was fourty or fifty years ago. You not any younger in appearance had a toyshop right on this spot. 11 children went missing. Three were my friends. Before the last went missing, I was told that you werent human but something else. I will not let the past repeat itself. I will be watching you." The old man said. He then left.

Kaede went and picked the panda up. She stitched it up and placed it back at its spot. "Why are the old people so mean? I have nothing to do with that woman." She said.

Kaoru yawned as he walked down the street, he'd heard of a toyshop, but there were some weird rumours about a woman there. Not that Kaoru cared, he was just curious, that and he still hadn't grown out of his love for toys. He still wanted to know if these rumours were true, if they weren't, then someone obviously had enough against the woman to try make everyone hate her. Even his own mother warned him about it, he just thought she was overreacting, why was everyone so keen on this rumour being true?

When he saw the building, which he assumed was certainly the toyshop he was looking for, he opened the door and entered it. Kaoru was surprised at how cool it was inside. There were a lot of toys here, this shop made him want to never grow up. 'Maybe there are things, like cats and goldfish here...that'd be cool... He thought to himself. This place seemed to have all sorts of weird stuff, maybe they had some sort of mechanical cat thing. He loved cats, the cutest things that he'd ever really seen. An old man pushed past him, not even seeming to know he was there, he looked pretty angry too. Kaoru noticed a woman sewing something up. "How rude..." He murmured to himself.

Kaede saw another kid come in. "Welcome. You two are so early. May I help you? We have everything from stuffed animals to mechanical pets to wooden toys to pogo-sticks. What will it be?" Kaede looked at the boy with her typical smile. It seemed weird with this same smile all the time. The only time she had a different expression on her face was when the man stomped onto the stuffed panda. "Give me a moment." She said and went to the back. Suddenly there was the sound of a whirring, the shot of a bolt and a rattling. She then came back out with a toy that looked like a puppy. Kaede gave it a little smack on itself behind and with a yelp it started moving. The moments seemed to be that of a real puppy but it wasn't a real puppy.

"Welcome. You two are so early. May I help you? We have everything from stuffed animals to mechanical pets to wooden toys to pogo-sticks. What will it be?"

Kaoru looked at the woman for a moment, he watched as she walked to the back room, the sudden noises made him jump slightly. When she came out holding a puppy, a toy puppy, Kaoru was pretty sure it was real. He stared at it for a moment, staring in awe at how remarkable it was. Maybe this woman made cats like this, and if she had toys like this there could be anything here.

"I'd just like to have a little look around," Kaoru smiled, wondering off slightly.
