QUESTION:
When considering patronising a shop, do you prefer when it has a name that makes it easy to understand exactly what is offered there, or one that is "creative"?
Thanks in advance.

SOMETHING EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT'S OFFERED, IS BEST.
THAT WAY PEOPLE RECOGNIZE IT.
BUT! IT SHOULD STILL HAVE A LITTLE PIZZAZZ!!!
DON'T BE AFRAID TO SPELL IT UNIQUELY, OR ADD INTENSIFYING ADJECTIVES.
MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS HOW COOL IT IS!

waver does his best to respond normally... ]
'Intensifying' adjectives? Can you give me an example?
What if you were trying to name an apothecary? Or a jewelry store?

NOT JUST ANY RUN-OF-THE-MILL SKELETON.
EMPHASIZE WHAT'S IMPORTANT AND OUTSTANDING ABOUT THEM.
LIKE... UH...
I DON'T KNOW WHAT APOTHECARIES ARE ALL ABOUT.
BUT MAYBE THE SHINING RING? OR SOME OTHER JEWELRY WORDS.

Thanks for the suggestion.
[ He's just being polite... mostly he's still a bit baffled. ]
Apothecaries sell potions, elixirs, herbs, etc. In case you wanted to know.
(( ooc: oh no, you're totally fine! I don't mind it! :> ))
((I had some computer problems, but I think I've figured out a workaround to get back to tagging!))
LOADS OF PEOPLE DECORATE THEIR USERNAMES WITH NUMBERS!
[And possibly those are digits from his birth year. Undertale's ambiguous that way.]
AND I DID WANT TO KNOW...
BECAUSE THOSE ARE ALL APOTHECARY-Y WORDS!
TRY SLAPPING SOME ADJECTIVES ON THOSE BAD BOYS, AND SEE IF ANY SOUND LIKE SHOP NAMES.
no worries!
Your insight is truly astounding.
o/\o
WHEN YOU'RE OVERWHELMED BY THE POSSIBILITIES, JUST REMEMBER:
START WITH THE BASICS.
THE START IS THE BEST PLACE TO START!
AND, MAYBE YOU'LL THINK OF SOMETHING LESS APOTHECARY-LIKE.
BUT STARTING WITH OBVIOUS THINGS IS THE FIRST STEP TO REACH THE BEST THINGS.
