On the market

You shake your head, feeling stupid for believing you had classes on a weekend day but still decide to go outside, since all your roommates are still sleeping anyway. You walk around aimlessly enjoying the sunny weather and how nobody ever bothers you with uncomfortable comments since deciding to keep your hair short and wear those baggy clothes. In the past you used to be insecure about your looks but you found a safe space with your roommates and after a while you stopped bothering, feeling comfortable in your own skin and even taking a bit of pride on getting treated as a boy.


Your random changes of direction take you to a street market, full of cheap clothes and trinkets that you don't really care much about but at least are mildly amusing to look at. There is a little bit of everything, from small decorative pieces to used books, old dolls, toys and other junk with a lot of people mostly looking around just like you. A tent with a symbol you recognize from one of the fantasy games you got recently into calls your attention, but instead of the stuff about games you were expecting it's more one of those esoterism stores with books, amulets and lots of weird stuff. 


You look around wondering if one of those weird things could at least be useful for a prank on your roommates, or as a prop, or something.


"What are you searching for?" The voice of an old woman surprised you. The place was small and you didn't see her coming from anywhere


"Hello.. Sorry I was just looking" you say politely, knowing you weren't really looking to buy anything from here


"Nobody comes here just looking, hah" You turned your head to look at the woman's strange statement "what made you enter here?" the woman asked in a weird but sweet tone.


"Oh, I saw a sign and I thought it was from a game" You explain, feeling a bit embarrassed the lady probably thought you were a fan of this stuff and hoping to clear up the mistake. To your surprise the woman didn't deter.


"Ahh, seems you're into fantasy. Perhaps there are some you would like to make true?" The way she guessed your hobby surprised you, but the way she worded the question left you speechless. Fulfilling a fantasy? your life was going well but thinking about it.. You thought about your roommates, Taylor in particular, and the moments you all shared together.. what would you want to change about them or about yourself?


"I know what you want, hah" The woman surprised you again and left for a moment to apparently find something she could sell to you


What happens next?
