WHAT in person
WHERE Spicy Discourse
WHEN day 40
NOTES

[Quiet Mounds' own Hot Topic, Spicy Discourse, has had black drapes over it for the past few days with a sign up: CLOSED FOR OVERHAUL.

It is open again! It looks... kinda dope, actually. Smoke effects and colored lights, lots of black and red and purple and pink, lots of ripped and skin-tight and leather-embroidered. And of course, Linkin Park is blasting.

Hey, time doesn't exist, so why aren't you living your truth and dressing as dramatically as possible? Maybe you should get over yourself and admit the studded pre-ripped jeans and old-fashioned faded golden-age Captain America crop-top look amazing on you. Honestly the quality of all the products is way up?? VERY Spicy Discourse style, of course, but even if full-blown goth isn't your style, there's always statement pieces or fun accessories. NPCs are manning sales. In the back with the band T-Shirts is a mysterious man in an owl skull mask, black jeans, and a black hoodie, reading a futuristic glowing slate & somehow eating donuts and coffee.

There's a sign up that says NOW HIRING.]

Hmm. Can you promise not to light my store on fire or destroy my clothes?

[characterarc]

On a scale of 'I love the government' to 'throw the president in a pit', what kind of person are you?

[deathblossomisready]

I was trying to exact my revenge against the corrupt world police and overthrow the planetary government before I got dragged here.

[characterarc]

Cool. Sure I'll work for you.

[deathblossomisready]

Just don't bust up my merchandise, and wear the style on shift. And if you're gonna steal, steal from other stores. I made this place on my own.

[characterarc]

I love stealing though.

[ are they just testing him. ]

[deathblossomisready]

[owl headtilt.]

Your paycheck would be better.

[characterarc]

Money is just another way to discourage people.

[deathblossomisready]

[sigh]

Don't steal from me.

[characterarc]

You sound like a grandpa. Sure, I won't steal from you.

[deathblossomisready]

[deathblossomisready]

Pick out an outfit. You can learn job duties from Francis.

[characterarc]

You seem like fun. What are your hobbies?

Tailoring, basketball, trick riding.

[characterarc]

Trick riding?

[deathblossomisready]

BMX?

[characterarc]

[deathblossomisready]

[shrug.]

Been a while though.

[characterarc]

Isn't that dangerous. . .
