[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka opens the shop and settles down with a copy of Sugar behind the counter. He's still blissfully unaware of the special candy in the shop. not that he would do anything if he knew.

Kawalsky entered the shop shortly after opening and started to look around.

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"Hello!" Wonka greeted the boy cheerfully, putting his copy of Sugar (http://www.sugarmagazine.co.uk/controller.php?object=home) down. The magazine did not contain what he'd thought it would. "Would you like to buy some of my delicious, tasty sweets?"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky was wary of Wonka. He wavered and wondered whether wandering into Wonka's store was such a wonderful idea. Had he been conscious of the fact that he was a fictional character, he would have wondered why wondering about Wonka always made his player write with so many 'W' words.

"Sure would," he replied and grabbed an assortment of candy, including some wax lips, and placed them on the counter. He then fished out his wallet.

Wonka beamed, and rang it up. "Thank you for shopping at Wonka's!"

[kawalsky.livejournal.com]

Kawalsky waved his thanks at Wonka, took the bag and headed out.

Logan entered the shop "All right," he said, rubbing his hands together. "What've you got for holiday treats?"

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka brightened. "I have everything! What would you like? I have candy canes and divinty candy (although it's not really candy) and all sorts of chocolates and coal and wax lips and gum drops -" he took a deep breath and looked prepared to continue listing his inventory.

[fh_jackass]

"What's divinity candy?" Logan asked.

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka skipped over to the table with the divinity candy (http://pics.livejournal.com/wonkacandyshopp/pic/0000edhk/g3) on. "This!"

[fh_jackass]

"Oh, that looks good. Gimme a box of that, some candy canes... What's good for chocolate?"

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Gathering up divinty candy in a festive box, Wonka thought about it. There was so much to choose from! But, perhaps... He pointed towards a shelf as he went to grab the candy canes. "I must admit I'm rather fond of the penguins (http://pics.livejournal.com/wonkacandyshopp/pic/0000tc26/g2)."

[fh_jackass]

Logan smiled. "Well, that's just adorable," he said. "Gotta get some of those. Though they may be deemed too cute to eat, so I'll have to get some non-cute chocolate, too. What else've you got?"

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"But it's candy." Wonka blinked. "You're supposed to eat it. It's what it's for!" People were so weird. He pointed towards the counter, sighing sadly. "The strawberries (http://pics.livejournal.com/wonkacandyshopp/pic/0000p3d7/g2) perhaps?"

[fh_jackass]

"Ooh, those look good. Pack me up a bundle of those. And some of that," he pointed to the Christmas tree candy. "Any other must-haves?"

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka considered the boy's haul. It was a good haul, however... "Perhaps some candy bells?" he suggested as he skipped over to place a couple of penguins carefully into yet another festive box.

[fh_jackass]

"Certainly," Logan said. He surveyed his selection. "And that's probably good for now."

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka nodded, pleased. He gathered all the candy into a bag and tied a shiny ribbon around the top. He rang up the charge. "Thank you for shopping at Wonka's Sweets Shoppe!"

Wesley walks in. "Er... could I get an assortment? Um. A Christmas assortment? For the common room?"

((ooc: Please do make sure some of the interesting candy is included.))

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"Certainly!" Wonka beamed and gathered up a variety of candies, including some chocolates, candy canes and coal. He put them all into a bag and handed them over. "Thank you for shopping at Wonka's!"



(ooc: Sorry for late reply. Had a nap. Have fun!)

*For those inclined to see, a small rat through the front door and hopped up on the counter. He is wearing a small black robe, holding a small scythe, and radiating a sense of dread. A small sense of dread.*



*It is possible, perhaps, if one does not think to terribly hard about it, that the rat was asking for candy.*

((OOC: I figure Wonka could see him. Hell, its probably not the weirdest thing he's ever seen.))

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka looked down. There was a small skeletal rat radiating dread and candy yearnings on his counter. "Now," he said aloud. "What would a rat like?" He tapped a gloved finger against his lip thoughtfully. "Gum drops, perhaps?"

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*The Death of Rats hopped up and down rather excitedly. He began to wave his bony paws, trying to give the impression of a very fat, surprisingly jolly fat man. In case this was not enough, the rat began to squeak.*



*If possible, it seemed the rat was squeaking Jingle Bells, if poorly.*

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"Is it a gift, then?" Wonka asked, finding a small bag to put candy in. It was very festive.

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*The Rat bounced some more, motioning widely with his arms, trying to imply more than one person.*

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"I see." Wonka nodded thoughtfully. "I shall find you a little bit of everything then." He started moving around the shop, picking out gum drops and christmas trees and chocolates (many kinds of chocolates) and wax lips and candy bells. The bag ended up quite full. He walked back to the counter and held it out for the Rat to inspect.

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*The Death of Rats takes the bag of candy, which is roughly the same size as himself, and inspects the contents carefully.*



*If skeletal rats could seem pleased, it was certain that this one was.*

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka rang up the charges and gave the Rat an expectant look.

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*The Death of rat pulled from his robe a small array of rat-sized gold coins. Interestingly, most of them seemed to come in pairs and there was enough, if not a moreso, to cover the cost of the candies.

The rat digs through the bag, setting his scythe to the side, while waiting for Wonka to work out the coins, periodically picking up a bit of candy and examining it, and then putting it back.*

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"They are delicious," Wonka said, absently, shifting through the coins. "Well then!" he said after a moment, beaming. "The candy is all yours! I particularly recommend the wax lips and the gum drops!"

[death-n-binky.livejournal.com]

*The rat hoists the bag of candy onto his back and jumps from the counter, scampering from the shop*

Callisto had passed by Wonka's a few times but never really had the opportunity to check it out. She wandered into the store, and started looking around.

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka was looking incredibly selfsatisfied. He was sitting behind the counter again, curiously reading Sugar.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto cocked her head curiously at the strange man behind the counter. "Hey, what's this?" she asked pointing at the coal.

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"Candy!" Wonka beamed, looking up from the magazine. "Hello, young lady! Are you seeking sweets?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"I meant, uh, what kind of candy is it?" Callisto refrained from rolling her eyes, barely. "Wouldn't be in here if I wasn't."

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

"Licorice-y," Wonka replied, maybe a little shiftily. "They are delicious, I promise you!"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh, liquorice. I like liquorice." Callisto grinned. "How much?"

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka named his price. It was very affordable. Callisto could probably afford at least a fistfull.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto could indeed afford a fistful, and asked for one. Fistful, that is.

[wonkacandyshopp.livejournal.com]

Wonka handed it over in a festive little bag, beaming. "Thank you for shopping at Wonka's!"
