All and Sundries, 6/6

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund opened the shop himself for the first time in days. He'd been more than a bit unsettled by last week's events, but his time Away had been most educational.

Being a nice guy led to bad, bad, bad things. There would be no leather bikinis in the future of Blackadders, Edmund would assure it.

Also? Robin Hood was a dolt.

All and Sundries is open.

[ooc: Yes, I'm mixing and matching from Back and Forth and the Christmas Carol specials. I felt like it, and for Edmund's purposes, he just had some very vivid dreams.]

Artie bounded in to get some supplies for his workshop on Friday.

This included a few sock monkeys, a very round stuffed pig, an assortment of water balloons, and some miscellaneous other things.

He waved cheerfully to Blackadder before heading into the aisles.

Edmund considered just siccing Lizzy on Artie right away, but he did need customers, he just didn't need to like them.

Instead he sneered at Artie and picked up his book, "How to Be a Better Bastard."

[superartie]

Artie returned carrying six 5 gallon buckets, each filled with stuffed animals, fuzzy dice, water balloons, twine, foam darts, inflatable vegetables, and a few turnips.

"Hello, shopkeeper! It has been awhile! How have you been?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund raised an eyebrow at Artie's purchases. "Is it a simpleton family reunion and you were in charge of party favors?"

[superartie]

Artie laughed. "Not at all! I'm teaching a workshop for the camp!"

"Training a new generation of village idiots? At least they will be learning from a master."

Pippi flounced into the shop with Pip on her shoulder and looked around for the magazine rack.

"Good afternoon Mr. Blackadder!"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund kept his sneer firmly in place. "Miss Longstocking."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Honk!"

"Where'd the magazine rack get off to?"

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund waved a hand irritably in the general direction of the last place he'd seen the magazine rack and decided not to ask why she had a goose with her.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Thank you!"

"Honk!"

Pippi started going through the magazines and started pulling them up so Pip could choose the one he wanted to use to communicate.

"People?"

"Honk honk."

"Newsweek?"

"Peep honk."

"Cosmopolitan?"

"...Peep peep."

"O, the Oprah Magazine?"

"Honk honk."

"Cooking Light?"

"Honk peep."

"Teen Beat?"

"HONK. HONK."

River quietly entered the shop, and moved slowly up to the counter. "You have paint and brushes?" she asked.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund looked up from his book at the new customer. "In the back. Or at least they were in the back when I left my establishment in Baldrick's incapable hands."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Baldrick moves things around?" River asked, without knowing who Baldrick was. But she headed to the back and found what she was looking for.

"Everything except thoughts," Edmund muttered as he returned to his reading.

Tim had finally remembered what he'd forgotten to do before. Get his hands on those movies.

With a typical New York sensibility, he did not greet Blackadder when he entered, for some reason this was the only shop that he kept that attitude in so far.

"The hell are DVD's?" Tim muttered, glad to see that there were also VHS editions of what he was looking for. He selected the Laurence Olivier Robin Hood movie, The Kevin Kostner Morgan Freeman Robin Hood Movie, and the Cary Elwes Robin Hood Movie, then, because it was technically still summer camp, Nature Trail to Hell, and The Bell Witch Project.

His selection made, he headed to the counter.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund was in a fine fettle for sneering and this boy's selections definitely upped the wattage considerably.

"In the mood for complete fantasy fiction, are we?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Well supposedly the Bell Witch Project is based on a true story." Tim said. the movie this is a meta title for did make that claim sort of but took it back in the disclaimers in the closing credits. The Bell Witch is indeed a famous true american haunting.

"the lines between fantasy, fiction and truth have become blurred for me lately." tim said.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Indeed, yet somehow you have managed to escape your bedroom. Bravo." Edmund rang up the boy's purchases and pointed to the total.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Tim may or may not have misunderstood Blackadder's meaning with that quip, but he snickered at the assumed dirtyness.
He handed over the money, which meant he was kinda out of luck moneywise till next payday, but he figured it was worth it.

It's also been awhile for Orlin.

HE bounces in looking rather pleased about Something.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund looks up and suppresses a groan. Of course. It's just that kind of day.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

How is Orlin to know that Edmind hasn't been in? He hasn't been around much at all either.

"Ah, mac'n'cheese!" he said gleefully, grabbing several.

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund had been reading that macaroni and cheese and similar products were quite unhealthy.

It made him want to load more into Orlin's basket.

[ascended-being.livejournal.com]

Blissfully unaware of Blackadders evil intentions to kill him young, he headed for the fruits and veggies, loading up on those before coming up to the counter.

"Good day."
