WHAT
WHERE
WHEN "Day 44"

[the hip goth store Spicy Discourse is still hiring (come see Reaper if interested), but in the back breakroom, there are a bunch of cupcakes and fruit bowls for ~EMPLOYEE MEET & GREET.~ so if you are one of the edgelords or nerdlords that Reaper hired, come say hi to each other. You may be COMPELLED to do so.

Other than that, it's cloudy and drizzly today, with a lot of rolling thunder. The Thing in the lake is swimming around, and the item flashers are having a 10% off sale. Mingle away!]

[A customer!! At Spicy Discourse. She is currently sporting recent-arrival fashion of jeans and a t-shirt, but she's pulling stuff like this off the racks and holding it up to herself contemplatively.]

[deathblossomisready]

[milling around his store for once, since he's got fresh employees. when literally all of them fucking suck, he sighs and floats over.]

You're new.

[fastandloose]

[she does a quick double-take at all of Reaper's... Reaper-ness... but rolls with it. She's seen stranger fashion choices. Though floating is a bit weird.]

Yup, you got me. Means I don't have a lot to spend for now, to be honest, but I can come back later.

[deathblossomisready]

[grunt.]

Store's not going anywhere.

Name?

[fastandloose]

Cassica. How 'bout you?

[deathblossomisready]

Reaper.

I make the clothes.

[fastandloose]

[She's also heard stranger names than Reaper. Especially for professional use.]

Ah, really? Like, design them and everythin'?

[deathblossomisready]

Yeah.

[fastandloose]

...Do you, uh...

[fidget]

Do you have any recommendations?

[deathblossomisready]

Hmm.

[observing her, his glowy red eyes kind of hard to track.]

What's your image?

[fastandloose]

I'm a racer. Uh, of cars. I drive cars.

[after a moment]

...Prob'ly I don't want to be wearing leathers all the time, though.

[deathblossomisready]

[oh? Amused.]

So you don't mind some flash.

Got some jackets in the back with embroidery.

[fastandloose]

Flash is good. I like standin' out. Long as it's in a good way.

...What kinda embroidery?

[deathblossomisready]

Leather stitch.

[he tugs a jacket off the rack. It has an asymmetrical red rose blooming out of a skull on its back.]

[fastandloose]

[she leans in to look at it]

...That's pretty cool. It's some kinda flower?

[deathblossomisready]

[tilts his owlhead.]

Never seen a rose before?

[fastandloose]

Don't think so. Not a lot of flowers in Coppermouth. I've seen a few of 'em on TV and in Anchor City, but not enough to identify 'em or anything.

[deathblossomisready]

[yikers.]

It's a flower, yeah.

[fastandloose]

Well, it's pretty. And kinda neat with the skull.

[deathblossomisready]

[he opens it up, the lining is bright red.]

I try.

[fastandloose]

Ooh, that's nice too.

[deathblossomisready]

This one's eighty for new arrivals. I can put it on hold if you want.

[fastandloose]

...A deal, huh? You got me.

[she actually has no idea if that's a good deal or not but it's not like she has other ideas to spend her money on.]

I should have a paycheck soon.

[deathblossomisready]

[tbh it's a steal but reaper likes spoiling new arrivals so they stop dressing like scrubs]

It'll be here.

[fastandloose]

...Thanks. Maybe I'll get some more stuff later, too.
