Empire Records, 12/15 [Open]

Kaylee opened the store after class and was pleased to see the Christmas lights still up. She settled behind the counter to work on her Pop Culture presentation. She would take a break to help customers if they needed it, though.

She was, once again, listening to holiday music.

In midafternoon, a chunk of flesh (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1281246.html) -- half a torso, with one arm attached -- suddenly appeared on top of the opera bins.

It lay there, waving the arm forlornly.

Kaylee just stared for a moment, making her best WTF face.

The chunk was unaware of Kaylee's expression.

It was, however, trying to pull a Placido Domingo CD out of an especially tender spot.

"Uh...need some help?" Kaylee asked, wondering if the chunk could actually hear her.

It couldn't, but it had gotten the CD out of its armpit and was now, well, about as comfortable as a torso on a CD rack could be. For the moment, it quit flailing.

Kaylee continued to stare, wondering who this torso belonged to.

Billy, leading a pair of disembodied legs by the belt entered Empire Records.

"You lookin' for that over there?" Kaylee asked, pointing out the torso on the CD rack.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yes." Billy said. "yes I am. Thanks." Billy wasn't sure how the best way to do this was. He decided to use his shirt to make a sling for Tyler's torso. Probably the most comfortable and least awkward way.

"No problem," Kaylee said. "Uh... good luck with that."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Thanks." omg modding tyler's torso he hefted the sling and headed back out. "Merry Christmas by the way!"

"You too!" Kaylee said, waving.
