All and Sundries, 2/13

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund is still enjoying his reading on the Victorian era. Those monarchs might never be sex symbols, but they gave real bang for the buck entertainment-wise. At least if you're as snarky as Edmund Blackadder.

The flower table has a new turnip bouquet to replace the one purchased by the polite young man with the odd hair. The sign with the guide to Victorian flower language is still behind the flower table, and the flower table is still laden with a variety of fresh flowers and herbs.

Next to the flower table is a small display of chocolates.

Baldrick is nowhere to be seen. If you use your nose, however, he is probably findable. Some brave soul is going to have to convince him to bathe someday. That won't be Edmund, though.

Jake walked in. "Hey! I need stuff."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"And this would be the place to find stuff. Did you have anything in particular in mind, or shall I pluck items at random from the shelves?"

[courier-gavin.livejournal.com]

Jake considered it, then shook his head. "I have a list." He held the shopping list (http://pics.livejournal.com/courier_gavin/pic/000ss5q3) out toward the shop dude. "Do you have this stuff?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund read over the list, presumably not seeing the other list, which would only amuse him anyway. "Of course. These are all simple items. The chocolates are right next to the flowers, everything else... perhaps I should have Baldrick assist you if you're in a hurry."

"That'd be great, 'cause I have class..." Jake pulled out his mobile and glanced down at it. "...Soonish."

Walter walks in and looks around, gravitating to the Valentine's display.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Ah, the boy who took so long putting up the posters.

Sadly, they went up, and Edmund is unable to snark about that particular shortcoming.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter picks out every packet of Valentine's confetti that Edmund has in stock and brings them up to the counter.

"Good morning Mr. Blackadder. I will just use my store credit for these."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Yeesss," is Blackadder's only response as he rings up the confetti and drops it in a small bag.

"Do you want to earn more store credit?"

Blair walks in before classes and looks around. "Um, do you have any idea what to buy for a girl who you are taking on a fake date?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"A fake date?" Edmund raises an eyebrow and examines Blair like something he's about to dissect. "Would this involve money exchanging hands with your 'fake date'?"

[lovechildblair.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure what you mean?" Blair bounced a little. "I'm buying her ice cream!"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

The bouncing...

It had best not continue.

Edmund's eyebrow does a little dance, almost bouncing along with Blair.

"Given that Valentine's Day is tomorrow, perhaps something appropriate to the holiday?"

Paige is all too aware it's Valentine's Day tomorrow as she enters the shop, but that's not really the important thing, the important thing is the preparations she has to do before she leaves and given her lack of knowledge of the fourteenth century it could take a while.

She sees Blackadder and wanders over, "hey Mr Blackadder, I was wondering if you sold muslin?" she asks as it's the first material that come to mind when she realised she'd be needed to make medieval clothing for herself.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Paige my dear, you have just brightened my day considerably." Edmund gives Paige the genial smile reserved for the very wealthy or the young and beautiful.

"Of course we have muslin. Allow me to fetch it for you myself. You would not want Baldrick touching it, I'm certain."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige grins, okay even if doesn't mean she's not had much attention lately and even from Blackadder it's a little flattering, plus it appears she's a sucker for any man not from this century.

"I try," she replies then bites her lip in thought, "I'm not totally sure how much I'll need it's for a dress, probably and erm is it very itchy?" cos that could be a huge issue.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"No, my dear, most muslin is not itchy." Edmund's eyebrow apparently has an important meeting with his hairline based on the speed with which it heads that way.

"However, it is also not particularly opaque."

Parker gets lost among the shelves. It's worse than the Library, for god's sake. "Excuse me. I need to find a digital camera." And this guy better continue to pretend she didn't sing in here before, if he wants to make a sale.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"The electronics items are here." Edmund pointed to a glass display case at the front of the store. "I'm not well versed in digital cameras, so I fear I cannot make a recommendation for you."

Singing? What singing?

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker relaxes a little. Selective amnesia seems to be in effect, so yay, commerce can commence. "I know which one I want. That one (http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1190), on the third shelf, please."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Certainly," Edmund says genially to the young lady with the nice platinum card smile>

He retrieves the camera, looking it over curiously, and hands it over to Parker.

"Is there anything else I can help you with," he asks, already walking toward the cash register.

Before Lunch

With the Emporium closed, Isabel decided to check out the new store in town. List in hand, she walked in and looked around.

Re: Before Lunch

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund looked up from his book and smiled. This town had so many lovely young women, it was hard to stay surly.

"Good morning, my dear. May I help you find something?"

Re: Before Lunch

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel looked at her list. "I hope so, there's a lot. To start I need baking supplies, some chocolate bars, caramel, pecans and apples."

Re: Before Lunch

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Easily done." If not easily found. "Allow me to give part of your list to my servant, and I will help you find the items that he should not touch."
