Sparky Repairs, Wednesday

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

After a handwaved trip to J,GOB to look into birthday cakes, Teddy opened the shop as usual. He went back to his spot under the counter though, leaving Emo and Goth out front to give him some warning on any potential customers who might wander in.

Finally driven mad enough to almost kick Apu, Turtle turned the shop over to him for a bit and went over to Sparky's. She looked around with a confused arch of her eyebrow as she found only little robots at the counter and no actual...people.

Not that there was anything wrong with robots, of course. She just expected...people.

"Hello?"

There was a loud thunk in response as a head popped up from behind the counter, first glaring at the dingbots for not warning him about the customer--

They remained unapologetic, having had a taste of power yesterday. They wanted more.

--and then nervously grinning at Turtle. "Can I help you?"

Turtle winced at the thunk. "You okay? What were you doing down there?"

She had wandered over to the counter and was trying to not-so-subtly peer over it to see if the boy was working on something, despite having a feeling that maybe she really didn't want to know.

Teddy stood up, brushing his clothing off from the time spent on te floor. Emo-ing "Studying," He said, putting his book on superheroing on the counter.

"How can I help you?"

Turtle's eyebrow remained quirked. Studying at work? Work was so much more fun than studying...

She shook her head. She was here on business. "I'm Turtle Wexler, from over at All and Sundries." She offered a hand to Teddy in a very professional manner as she continued. "We've got a broken Squishy machine and I noticed that this place specializes in repairs. I was wondering if maybe you could arrange for someone to come over and have a look at it."

"Teddy Altman," Teddy said, taking the offered hand, shaking it before answering her question. "I'm the only one working right now, but I guess a short trip to look at it wouldn't be out of the question."

"Oh, but I hate to have to pull you away while you guys are so busy," Turtle said wryly, with a smirk.

That made Teddy drop his head and grin. "Yeah, I know," He said. "We have so many customers in here all the time, I'm surprised you even got through the door."

"How do you even manage to breathe in this place, with all the people?" Turtle said, stretching out her arms to the side to help emphasise the constrictive crowd. She chuckled a little. "I should get back to A&S before Apu starts trying to tinker with the machine and make things worse, so just go ahead and stop by whenever you can, preferably not around sixth period, though, because then I won't be there."

"I'll swing by during lunch," Teddy said. He picked up his book and prepared to go back to his hiding spot when he suddenly perked up. "Do you guys sell flowers there?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"We sell everything at All and Sundries," Turtle responded, with a perfectly mastered tone of subtle advertisement.

Except, she had noticed, oddly, duct tape.

And it was a very good advertizement. If Teddy hadn't already wanted to buy something, he would have now.

He nodded. "Okay, cool. I'll stop by later then."
