[Dragaera] Gift Shop

[Scott Schultz]

Hmmm... minor re-write.

It chanced to transpire that my esteemed and honored parents,
in search of rest and diversion from their daily cares and duties,
arrived in Dragaera City in at just that cusp in history when the
conflict between Emperor Tortaalik and Lord Adron e'Kieron,
the Dragon Heir, erupted into open rebellion; culminating in the
dissolution of the city and its transformation into the Lesser Sea
of Chaos, and, while I am grateful, indeed, that they escaped the
Disaster with their lives, I was disappointed to learn that the only
memento of the doomed city that they procured for me was this
very plain and simple garment that you  see now before you, with
its truncated sleeves and sadly cheap and lightweight fabric; a mere shirt.

The goal of this version being to emphasize the "vacation" and "my parents 
were willing to spend a bundle on themselves but couldn't be bothered to put 
any thought or money into a souvenier for me" aspects of the "lousy t-shirt" 
meme.
