You tuck the tiara away. "Crystal Check is going down!"

You zip away, looking for that crystal salespony. There he is, in the town square. You approach at speed, sliding to a stop and whirling about. "Found you! Why did you sell that super cursed tiara to that mare?"

He holds up his hooves, stepping away. "Whoa, I'm just a humble salespony! I sell all kinds of jewelry, but only the best! Like this set here." He gestures to a display of shimmering rings.

They are pretty attractive. You shake your head vigorously. "Hey, no distracting me! Did you or did you not sell that cursed tiara?"

He looks sheepish. "Technically, no." You glare at him. "I gave it away." He laughs tensely. "So, didn't sell it."

"Dude! Curses are serious business." You tilt your head, eyes narrowing. "Why did you give her that? You have to know what that thing does."

He shakes his head. "No! It's just some shiny stuff." He clasps his hooves together. "But we are friends, aren't we?"

You land in front of him. "Friends don't give friends super cursed stuff! Where'd you even get it?!"

"Bargained with an alligator. But that isn't important." He swishes his tail back and forth, humming softly to himself. "Now that you're here, why don't we go see a show?"

You roll your eyes at that. "Nah. Anything else come rom that alligator pal of yours? Why are you buying stuff from passing alligators anywho?!"

He huffs. "Well, they bring in some nice things. You'd be surprised what those gators find in the deep jungles. Why, I bought this from one, and then they bought this other thing from me!"

You roll a hoof, prompting him to start showing all the things he got from the gator. "Yeah, gonna go get Twilight to check this all over. If it's clear, you can sell it. But if not?" You float your hoof over your mouth. "That junk gets wiped from the world."

The pony groans at that. "You're worse than I expected. That was some good stuff."

You stick out your tongue. "I'll bring it right back if Twilight gives the clear." With a powerful flap, you take off with the suspect jewels.

You've secured the day for other ponies in Ponyville.

The end.
