Magic Box, Thursday

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles had taken the day off yesterday to deal with his things for his flat arriving. But he was back in the shop this morning, finishing up the last of the organising and pricing in antiicpation of an official opening tomorrow where there will hopefully be sales made and cash exchanged for goods, and dear lord he had been hanging around Anya far too long.

The front door still sported the

HELP WANTED

sign.

Ami had tried to come by the day before, but the place was closed. So she tried again today.

gimme a hint of what was in that book Giles gave her?

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles looked up at the sound of the door opening. "Good morning, Ami," he greeted her.

probably the basics of what magic is and maybe some examples of simple spells and protections

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Good morning Mr. Giles. I have come to return your book. It was very educational. Where i come from, magic is not really considered real, unless it is religious Shinto magic." She put the book down carefully on the counter.
"So this was a little bit new. I have also been looking this up on the internet. Which while not a very good source of reliable information, is a source of information none the less."

"I prefer the old fashioned method of looking things up in books," Giles admitted. "Computers and I have a very uneasy relationship at best."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami shrugged a little. "A computer is a tool. Sometimes useful, sometimes not. Depends on the user i would imagine." She looked around teh store one more time.

"If you are still looking to hire people, i would love to work here. It seems to be one of the better learning opportunities around." She looked up at Giles and smiled hopefully.



wow, gmail wants to give me links to like 8 wiccan supply stores due to this conversation

Willow came on in and looked around for things to stack and sort. "Hey Giles!"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Good morning, Willow," Giles greeted her with a smile.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Here to help," she said. "What needs sorting, filing, labelling, or some other form of organizational validation?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I think most of the major organising is done," Giles said looking around him. "It's more the little details I'm checking now."

Buffy was just out walking when she spotted the new store. She walked closer curiously and spotted the help wanted sign. She paused, pondering for a moment. More money would be good... She shrugged and pushed open the door. At least she could see what kind of shop it was.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles looked up as the door rang again and froze. "Buffy."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

Buffy was pretty sure she hadn't introduced herself yet. She waved a little, puzzled. "Yes? Hi? Um, I saw the sign..."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

She looked... good. So very young, but alive. And also looking confused at the way he was staring.

Giles shook himself, and forced himself to focus on the conversation. "Yes. Were you... uh... interested in a job?"

Xander stopped by After Buffy was gone because ohhhh boy is he not walking into the middle of that one in the morningish with a suspiciously familiar-looking bakery box under one arm.

"I did not eat all the jellies," he announced by way of greeting. Which was, technically, true.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles smiled. "Donuts without a research session? I'm honoured."

[needsaparrot]

"Well, I figured the place needed a christening." Xander carried the box over to the counter. "Not that I'm planning on smashing bismarcks against the walls," he added.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I appreciate that," Giles said dryly, moving over to check what was in the box. "Although if you did, I understand I could hire you to fix any damage caused."

Having no classes today meant Seely was bored, so he stopped by to check out the new store. "Hello?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles looked up from the shelves he was organising. "Angel."

[socksofcool.livejournal.com]

Seely's eye started twitching. "Not quite."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Giles, it's Thursday, so I'm here to work," Dawn told him cheerfully as she breezed in and missed the Help Wanted sign completely.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles shook his head, confused. "I'm sorry...?"

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"I worked for you on Thursdays at the bookstore as a 'learning experience,'" she made air quotes as she explained and her expression probably indicated how thrilled she was with that idea, "but I figured that probably carried over from Giles to Giles and wasn't stuck to Aeropagitica."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I'm.... not certain it works that way."
