a. [ Giving up the opportunity to do some sanctioned stealing? Not likely! Although the fact that it is dubiously permitted by flying little humanoids from fairytales makes it slightly less appealing. For a man who has been caught stealing for seemingly no reason besides for ones that are purely philosophical Gogol spends a lot of time stalking through the abandoned buildings without having taken anything yet.

With so many investigators traipsing through it means he encounters someone else eventually. Focusing his gaze on the a line in the dust on a counter he draws with his index finger, he decides to pose a question to that person. ]

What makes a good souvenir good? Do you have any thoughts?

[ The traps? Oh those are a blast. It only took falling for the first trap door to learn most areas are booby-trapped. The comical shriek the clown of a man releases early on in the day might've been something that could be heard throughout the abandoned settlement. Embarrassing mishaps aside he reserves part of his day for enforcing good WSIB safety and prevention practices. Which means into the shadows Gogol goes! Until he sees someone else about to fall victim.

There's liberal use of the Overcoat. For the tripwires he teleports his hand to flick whoever is about to step on it on the forehead or at the side of the head before they do. For the dried up pies he pulls the victim partway through the floor boards so the pastries fly over their heads-... leaving them stuck there from the shins up. ]

Who~opsie-daisy.

[ The firecracker drawers however are a different matter. Humming a cheery tune he sidles up to the first person he witnesses moving to open one of the safer ones. ]

No no, you definitely won't want to open that one. Go for the one below it!

[ For the record: that's exactly the one that has firecrackers in it. ]

[ Unlike the jovial disposition during the day the Gogol that catches sight of the familiar brands is entirely different presence. He watches those shambling bodies bereft of all but heightened emotions with a uncharacteristically blank expression. The inner thoughts are unreadable at that point; but the intentions are clear. Despite being accustomed to combat he's clearly keeping his distance this time. ]
