All and Sundries, 8/11

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund was in a bit of a mood. He had a dictionary on the front counter and was slowly tearing pages out of it and throwing them in crumpled balls on the floor.

It might be best not to ask.

All and Sundries is open.

After her session in the gym with Pip, Cally headed into town. She walked up to the counter, hoping that Blackadder might not recognize her. Hopefully.

"Do you sell pet supplies?" she asked.

Edmund tossed a crumpled ball randomly torn out of the P section at her feet and nodded. "Check next to the lawn mower blades in aisle six."

Cally blinked. "Your organization system is weird."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund sneered a little. "So is your posture, but I've been considerate enough not to mention it until now."

Cally rolled her eyes. "You're lucky I don't have another store to take my business to," she said, before wandering off to find what she needed.

"I count my blessings nightly," Edmund said, tossing a balled up page with the word "petulant" after her.

Cally returned to the counter after a few minutes, with guinea pig food and one of those glass cage thingies, along with the neccessary accessories.

"This is it for me," she said.

Edmund snerked and rang up Cally's selection, pointing to the mostly uninflated total on the register. "Congratulations. You appear to be the new owner of something people generally poison."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally made a face. "People should not poison lemmings." She shelled out the cash for her purchase.

"People should not eat Scottish cooking, yet it still happens."

"I'll take your word for that," Cally said. "Can I get a bag or something? This'll be kinda precarious. Without one."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Edmund briefly considered giving her a bag just to watch her attempt to carry a glass cage in a plastic bag and for the opportunity to sell her a second one after the first broke halfway up the hill to the school.

But then he'd be forced to listen to her whine about it.

"Baldrick!"

The less-smelly-than-usual dogsbody appeared and took Edmund's instruction to bring her a cardboard box in which her purchases would fit.

"Shall I send Baldrick to hold your ickle hand on the way up the hill as well?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Thanks for the offer," Cally said. "But I can do this myself, thanks." She piled her stuff in the box and hefted it.

"Good day, sir."

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

"Mm."

Edmund tore another page out of the dictionary and threw it at Baldrick, coincidentally the one with the word "euthanasia" on it.
