Spilled from the stages of [[VoR's Hallucinatory Bestiary]], we bring you an entirely <b>random set</b> of said propositions.  Many of these could be classed as enhanced mimics.  They preferentially spawn within shops, where they replace mimics with around 2% frequency.  They are solitary monsters that are generated asleep, and are woken by contact.

==Apologetic Customer==
 +
The <b>apologetic customer</b> is mainly a nuisance to other shoppers, because of their effect on shopkeepers.  Apologetic customers pick up and carry the shop inventory (67% chance to pick up / 33% change to drop each item each turn).  The shopkeeper considers this to be unsold inventory in possession of the player character, and therefore stands in front of the door (congratulations to anyone who knows how to code that).  That renders the shop mostly un-usable.  Apologetic customers can be heard to say
 +
"Oh dear, excuse me."
 +
"I'm sorry!"
 +
"How much did you say that costs?"
 +
Chatting to a peaceful apologetic customer prompts them to offer to sell their inventory items.  The shopkeeper will no longer consider the purchased items to be unsold.

Spilled from the stages of VoR's Hallucinatory Bestiary, we bring you an entirely random set of said propositions. Many of these could be classed as enhanced mimics. They preferentially spawn within shops, where they replace mimics with around 2% frequency. They are solitary monsters that are generated asleep, and are woken by contact.

Apologetic Customer

The apologetic customer is mainly a nuisance to other shoppers, because of their effect on shopkeepers. Apologetic customers pick up and carry the shop inventory (67% chance to pick up / 33% change to drop each item each turn). The shopkeeper considers this to be unsold inventory in possession of the player character, and therefore stands in front of the door (congratulations to anyone who knows how to code that). That renders the shop mostly un-usable. Apologetic customers can be heard to say 

"Oh dear, excuse me." 
"I'm sorry!"
"How much did you say that costs?"

Chatting to a peaceful apologetic customer prompts them to offer to sell their inventory items. The shopkeeper will no longer consider the purchased items to be unsold.
