The guests arrive

The two girls can only manage to get themselves a quick overview of their products. "Those Bolt-On Bombs sound strange," Elisabeth said as she examined the candy offers.

"Those popcorn flavours also look interesting," Angourie said. "Did you have cinnamon popcorn before?"

"I had not," Elisabeth said and was about to test some as two young women showed up. They were about the same age as the two friends and seemed to be really excited. "Hi," Elisabeth said as they examined the offers.

"Hi," the girl said. "I think I gonna take some of the chocolate-coated popcorn here." She turned to her friend. "What do you want?"

"I take some of the Sugary Rush Air Heads and a lollicock. That is a fun name."

Angourie packed the stuff for them and handed them the little paper bags. "Enjoy," she said and the girls paid. "You excited about the concert?"

"Oh totally," the first girl said while opening her bag with the popcorn, throwing some of the chocolate-coated ones into her mouth.

"We have no idea who this Mr O is," the second said. "Seems he only giving live concerts and hasn't done any recordings. And even the reports about his live concerts are really vague."

"That sounds interesting," Angourie said. "The mystery clearly adds to the excitement." She looked to Elisabeth, who had given her a little bump with her elbow, nodding over to the first girl. Angourie turned her head a bit and was surprised. The girl clearly had changed, her brown hair now have curled up and her lips looked fuller. On top of that, also her skin had darkened, making her look mixed-raced.

"Well, we should head into the concert hall," the first one said, having a little accent she hadn't had before. "We waited for a while to get front row seats and you also seem to get more customers."

"It's the popcorn," Elisabeth said as the two walked away. "Her skin and hair changed after she started to eat it."

"Yeah," Angourie said.

"What do we?"

"Don't know. It doesn't seem to hurt them. I think we should just keep selling and maybe we spot some other things. I wonder what the lollicocks do. They really sound suspicious."

Elisabeth nodded, still wondering if they were doing the right thing. But she also realized that seeing the girl change had created an aroused feeling in her. She couldn't think much longer, as the next guests arrived, this time a young couple.
