Tuki the Tantalizing - Orcbrother
*THERE IS A STORY BELOW THE DESCRIPTION*
A gift from my friend Orcbrother, who drew Tuki for me.
While she only appeared in but a single game from the series, I keep hoping against hope that she'll be back again. Maybe she will, maybe she won't, probably the latter...but let's keep her alive in our heart and mind all the while, eh?
Who is she checking, tho? Read on and find out!

SELLING AND SWAYING
Greetings, cusssstomer. Need anything?
Why yessss...I am Tuki, the one who helps the one and only Shantae with my wares. I also taught her a few dances here and there. Those hips aren't just for show~
Now what did drive you here to my little store, to my many goods on offer? Do you need perhaps a healing potion for the road, in case of emergency? Maybe some monster milk? Don't ask how I got that last one.
Oh, you expected better? More variety? A connoisseur, aren't you? Well I was actually just showing what I sell to our local half-genie heroine. It's usually what people want, but perhaps you have more refined taste? Let me get into my pot and see what else I can tempt you with.
Thank you for your patience. Here I have a scimitar, jewel-incrusted, the blade gets on fire once every day...for about four seconds and at precisely 4h07 AM...but still! I sell it for 700 gems.
Not quite your thing? Worry not, I have a battle bedlah, all ready for action. A sash with spikes to hip bump your enemies, a veil that gives protection against water spell...well, minor ones. Very minor ones. But it's purple and that's such a lovely color, right? 500 gems for that!
No? You know your stuff, but I'll get to something that will rub you the right way. I have this mermaid potion which can actually make it so you will be able to breathe underwater for 24 hours!...by turning your upper body into that of a fish. Not very aesthetically pleasing, but still very useful! 100 gems and that's a friendly price.
Uh, not convinced. I might just have a last item which fell right into my lap: the tome of baladi magic. Within are contained secret techniques that can turn one's hips into a lethal weapon. Earthquakes, meteors, swarm of flies and locusts...all things you could summon at will. Well, if you know the language it's written in, which has gone extinct for about 3000 years and was spoken by like...three people? Maybe? Anyway, 1000 gems.
Okay, okay, I give...perhaps you might enlighten me as to what you would like then? What are you looking for actually?
...Breakfast cereals? You went on to search me, to make me peddle my wares for stuff you could have just bought at any local store? Really? Wasting my time for that?
Oh no, worry not. I understand that the customer is king. I know that saying quite well...but perhaps what you need is to properly understand that maybe all those items spoke to you on a deep, unwitting level?
Why yes, thank you for noticing the sway of my hips. As I said earlier, I am an excellent belly dancer and the way my scales reflect the sunlight just makes it so easy to watch me. As stated, you are a connoisseur, you know quality when you see it...and this is of the utmost quality.
Left and right...left and right...left and right...just so easy to focus on nothing else, on my little dance and on my voice. You were listening so patiently, so carefully earlier so it's just natural to continue doing so, right?
Excellent. You're doing very well. Some of the best purchases in life are done on impulse, by pure instinct. Wouldn't you agree?
Now now, don't think too hard about this. In fact, don't think. Better to watch my supple and sublime hips as they got left and right...left and right...left and right...just so. See how easy it is when you are reasonable and you cooperate? It feels good, doesn't it?
I'm very glad you agree. So now I think it's actually destiny that we met each other. Those items...well they speak to you on a deep, deep level, don't they? It must be fate that they landed right before your eyes. I think it would be extremely important that you get them all.
Swirls? Oh yes, when one's true goal and the utmost serenity arrives to illuminate them, they sometimes see swirls. They make you feel dizzy but good, right? They're centered on my hip swaying and on me, are they not? Then it's settled, you must buy my stock of magical items.
Have no fear, I can credit you the price with some interest and you can pay me back by increments. 2300 gems in total...not a bad deal for finding out your true path in life, yes? Just give me what you have with you and I'll deduce it from the total.
15 gems...so now you owe me 2285 gems. Now best go back to your town and get your breakfast cereals...and don't forget to pay me back. Just sign right here for the credit contract and...there you go, all sealed and proper~
Until next time, cussssstomer~
