Shane steps in, ready for her second evening at work. She scratches a hand through her hair and pats Carl on the back as he's sitting in one of the nearby booths, sipping his coffee and perusing the paper. "I'll get you a refill on that in just a sec, okay," she tells him, smiling as she passes. She retrieves the pot of regular and returns to freshen his coffee for him, giving him one last friendly pat as she leaves.

Once she's returned the pot of coffee to the warmer, she grabs a stack of napkins and a tray of clean silverware and plonks down on a stool at the counter, getting started on the sidework for the evening. As she starts wrapping silverware, she looks up at Deb and smiles. "Hey," she says.

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

Hi Shane.
Don't forget to check the salt shakers.

*comes over, still stirring cookie dough*

How'd you make out with the pretty little thing last night?

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

*nods dutifully as she finishes up one set of silverware and places it to one side on the counter*

*can't help but smile a little bit wider at the mention of her, though after a moment, the smile turns slightly wry as she looks at her* I didn't, actually... but, uhhh... *shrugs* ahh, long story.

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

*grins. Blows bubble and goes back to her cookies*

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

*watches her go and chuckles - makes a mental note to buy Deb a large jar of bubblegum balls as soon as she gets her first paycheck and goes back to rolling silverware*

[fullmetal-havoc.livejournal.com]

Hey there, ma'am. Checkin' in for work. *heads over to the cashier* You want me to work this thing here, right?

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

Hi hon. Have you ever used one like this?

We don't have a scanner, so you have to put the prices in.

Any bills bigger than a 20 go here
*shows direct drop to safe*

[fullmetal-havoc.livejournal.com]

Ah, yeah. I used to work in my Pa's shop back at home--he was a cobbler. We used to have one that was like this... A bit better, actually. This one looks like it's in kinda crappy shape. I'll try fixin' it up for you sometime. *wink*

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

*scowls*

It's in fine shape. It's just vintage. To go with the rest of the shop.

[fullmetal-havoc.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* Sure. Whatever you say, ma'am.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

*smiles broadly as she busies herself refilling salt shakers* It's cool, Deb. *long beat* Hey, Deb...? Do you think it would be okay if I looked around in the shop a little sometime? *bites her lip* I'm gonna need some clothes for school... *another long beat* if I get in. Would that be cool with you?

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

If we're slow, feel free. There's a 15% employee discount too.

*looks at Havoc*

You get it too. But watch your ass, kiddo.

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

*smiles broadly* That's awesome. Thanks.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Um, hi, Can I ge a Shepherd's Pie and some strawberry pie?"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

*grabs a nearby pad of checks and a pen, scribbling down her order* Yeah, sure. Did you want that for here or to go? *smiles*

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna thinks back to the pile of work on her desk. And the letter she is expecting. "To go, sadly."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane offers her a sympathetic smile as she hops down off of her stool. "All right, then," she says, stepping behind the counter and giving the cook an order for a regular dinner. "Anything to drink with that or...?"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Something with sugar. A lot of it." Alanna fishes around her pocket for some money. "How much will that be?"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"That'll be eight dollars," she says, handing the check over to fullmetal_havoc. "Which you can give to him, while I get your order for you." She grins as she turns and heads back over to check on her order.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna makes a mental note to ask for money in her letter to Jon or ask Dr. House if she could get paid for her clinic work. "Thank you, are you guys open every day?"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"Yep, 5pm to 2am, seven days a week," she says with a smile as she hands over a pair of styrofoam take-out containers, one slightly smaller than the other. "There you are."

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

Extremely satisfied with how her interview went, Kate decides she'll have a a minor celebration. She briefly considers Spike's Pub, but decides she wants something with more sugar and less baggage. She ends up at Deb's.

After studying the sign for a few moments, she walks in.

"Could I have a Prince of Wales Pie?"

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Shane says, tearing off the other girl's check and setting it aside so that she can write down her order. "Anything to drink with that or did you want it to-go?"

[ooc: Kaaaaaaaate! *happy bouncing*]

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

"Black coffee would be nice," Kate answers, smiling.

((*grin* Guessing you like her?))

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"No problem." Shane nods as she makes a note on her check and retrieves a slice of the chilled pie from the display case. She places it the dish on the counter, along with a fork and napkin. "There you are. That'll come to three dollars and you get free refills on the coffee, if you're thinking of hanging out for a while," she says as she glances up at her, smiling.

(Love Kate. *big, dorky thumbs up* :D)

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," Kate replies, retrieving her wallet from a coat pocket. As she thumbs through it, she adds, "I probably will. I don't have anything else to do, and this is a nice place." She flashes a genuine grin before she digs into her pie.

((Makes two of us. :D))

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, we, uhh... we just opened up a couple of days ago," she says, scratching thoughtfully at her cheek. "Anyway, uhh... enjoy your pie." Shane scribbles her name on the check and smiles as she leaves it face-down on the counter, tapping it lightly with her pen as she goes to check on how much salad they have left in the fridge.

((Kate. Rocks.))

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

Kate nods her thanks, her mouth full of nuts, chocalate and custard. She swallows and absently flips over the check with her fork-free hand.

The name catches her eye, and she brings it closer. She quirks an eyebrow, glances in the direction of the fridge, and smiles.

She doesn't remember smiling this much for quite some time. It feels weird.

But good.

[pflag-mom-deb.livejournal.com]

How's the pie, honey?

It's a new recipe we're trying out.

[katielockley.livejournal.com]

"Oh, it's wonderful," Kate answers, gesturing with her fork to the little bit left. "I'm glad I tried it."

[shane-mcc.livejournal.com]

Shane comes in from the back, carrying a few large plastic bags of pre-shredded mixed salad greens. She opens the fridge door, holding it open with her hip as she opens the plastic bags and dumps their contents into the salad bin. Once that's done, she shuts the fridge door again and stuffs the empty plastic bags in a nearby trashcan.

She picks up the pot for regular coffee and approaches, catching the tail end of their conversation. She refills Kate's mug and smiles. "I haven't tried it, yet," she murmurs. "Don't have much of a sweet tooth, I guess." She grins and shrugs as she heads off to refill Carl's mug for him.
