All and Sundries, 2/8

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

The Valentine's Display still has its decorative turnips, however, someone appears to have had a bit of a creative binge and stuck small turnips on skewers, carved them into the shapes of roses and put a lovely bouquet of a dozen roses turnips in the middle of the table covered in little bears with magnets in their mouths that draw them together to kiss.

Blackadder is behind the counter reading a book on the English monarchy and apparently finding it quite droll.

Nadia wanders in with a short list scrawled on a piece of scrap paper, clutching her backpack, and starts looking through the displays.

Sam walked into the store, and although initially confused by the turnip display, she began to wander up and down the aisles, looking for bargains.

The CD and bottle of vodka were safely in her messenger bag, but this would have to be the last stop--not only was it almost time for class, but her leg was getting tired and she still had to walk back.

"Is there anything I can help you find?" Blackadder looks up from his book and closes it with a snap.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looks up, slightly startled. "Yeah. Um, I need paper clips, band aids, super glue, a mini sewing kit, preferably with the needles prethreaded, a Bic lighter, Bic Roundstick pens, GORP, and, um, a guitar pick." She thinks for a moment. "And a water gun. And if you can think of any alternatives to duct tape, then that, too."

"May I help you, Miss?" asks a short and fetid man who has appeared near her elbow.

Orlin wanders in, holding a stack of posters. He's out of food. He needs some more macaroni.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"I can assist you with everything except the prethreaded needles and I am under the impression that nothing is an alternative to duct tape." Blackadder then points her to the relevent and entirely nonintuitive sections of the shop where her needs may be met.

Blackadder contains a sneer at the sight of nude park man. He is dressed and has had cash in the past.

However, he does not leap up to immediately offer his assistance.

Sam took an involuntary step back, eyes already tearing. Wow, she hadn't smelled anything quite like that since Daniel fell into a bog on P2X-197 and spent the next three days without a shower.

"Er, do you have fabric here? And you can...just point me in the right direction."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund noticed the young woman's discomfiture and barked a sharp order at Baldrick to go back to the stock room.

"The fabric is in the back left hand corner next to the fresh corn. Should you require anything else, don't hesitate to ask."

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin strolls over to where the macaroni and chocolate is, and starts loading them into a hand basket. And notices Blackadder non facially sneering. He shrugs and makes a mental note to not go out of his way to invite him to the party.

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looks around the shop, slightly sulky at hearing another duct tape lover extol its virtues. She gathered together what she could find and brought it up to the counter. "Can you ring the guitar pick and the water gun up seperately, please?"

John walks into the store looking for one thing in particular.

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

Sam nodded as she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, mentally adding kleenex and air freshener to her shopping list. "Thank you."

She made her way back to the fabric section, and picked up a few yards of cotton muslin. Simple, sturdy, and most importantly, cheap.

"Should have gotten a basket," she said to herself as she picked up some glass canning jars. "And made a list."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

A man on a mission, clearly. "Can I help you?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"You don't, by any chance, sell blankets or quilts, do you?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Blankets, heated comforters, and other bedding are down the center aisle next to the pet care products." Baldrick's idea of course.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Blackadder makes no mental notes about Orlin, simply watching him suspiciously for no good reason other than his prior nudity and credit card trick.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Perfect," John says and smiles widely. "Thanks, dude."

John heads down the center aisle, finds a rather manly and heavy green blanket and returns to the counter. "I'll take this, please."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Of course." Edmund takes the blanket and finds a suitably large bag to accommodate it. "That will be $34.17, unless you require anything else?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

A dirty foot at the head of the aisle kicks a shopping basket down the floor toward her before the stockroom door swings shut again.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Nope, that's fine." John coughs up the money and hands it over. "Here you go."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Of course." Edmund rings up her first items and presents her with a bill for $11.32.

He seems to be waiting for something before moving on to ring up the water gun and guitar pick.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Orlin finishes picking what he wants. And then walks up to pay, and be obnoxiously himself as per usual.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Another one for the nice list - one who pays in cash.

"Excellent. Thank you very much for coming in to All and Sundries. I hope to see you again very soon. Don't forget that Valentine's Day is coming up - a handsome young man such as yourself must have someone who will be expecting a gift on that day."

He's catching up on the Valentine's Day very quickly.
