The Emporium is Open -- Friday

Michael flips the sign over to "open" and sits behind the counter, rubbing his temples. It's been a long week.

After his visit to Red's, Anders heads over to the Emporium and spends about fifteen minutes picking out the nicest basket of strawberries he can find. "Hi," he says, bouncing up to the counter with strawberries in hand. "Today's weird question: if you drop a frog out of a second story window, what are the odds it'll be okay after it hits the ground?"

Michael raises an eyebrow. "Do I really want to know why that question is being asked?"

((ooc: FYI: mun doesn't have much time to play today.))

He shrugs and puts the strawberries on the counter. "Just wondering. I actually did have to drop one out of my window last night."

[OOC: 's cool, neither do I, really.]

Michael rings up the strawberries, giving the question some thought. "$2.50. As for the question...two stories is a long way for a little frog. Do you get a lot of those in the dorms?"

"Not usually. But yesterday we had a whole flood of 'em, all on the second floor. It was weird, but they were all gone this morning." Anders puts two dollar bills and five dimes on the counter and shrugs. "Weird is kinda normal around here though."

Michael smiles. "Now that I can agree with." He puts the strawberries in a bag and sets it on the counter. "Were you hoping the frog you dropped out the window survived, or didn't survive?"

"Well, I would've hated to smash it to death or anything. But it was in my shower, and there were more of them outside my door." Anders laughs and takes the strawberries. "It was either leave it there, or drop it out the window."

"Aw, come on, you didn't want a pet?" Michael grins. "I sold somebody a small tank a while ago, I think he said he was keeping a frog."

Anders laughs. "Don't have time to take care of a pet, or I might. Although my friend's robot dog is still living in my closet . . ."

Michael shook his head. "Robot dog? Well, at least you don't have to feed it...right?"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Nope, nope, don't have to feed it. RIC's actually deactivated at the moment. Bridge asked me to keep him over Parents' Weekend, and I haven't gotten a chance to return him." Anders shrugs. "Well, I gotta get going -- me and Cally are celebrating one month tonight, and I promised her a really awesome date. Nice seeing you again!"

"It was nice seeing you too. And congratulations! Have a good time."
