Magic Box, Monday

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles had notice the sudden influx of new people over the weekend and thought it might be a good time to see about reorganising and perhaps expanding his staff. So he put the HELP WANTED sign back in the window.

The Magic Box was open.

Ami came into the store, now that she had her schedule sorted out, to see if she could work on a different day. "Good morning" she greeted Giles.

"Good morning Ami," Giles greeted her.

"I was wondering" she said, "if it would be possible to switch which day i worked on?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"It could be, yes," Giles said. "Did you have a day in mind?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Well, i have no workshops on Mondays..."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles nodded. "All right then. I'll put you down to open the shop on Mondays."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Excellent, thank you!"

Tannim spotted the "Help Wanted" sign in the window and went in to check the place out. His kind of magic wasn't the "eye of newt" sort, but a magic store was still in his area of interest.

Giles looked up when the door opened. "Hello, can I help you?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Hi," Tannim said. "Are you the manager?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles nodded. "Manager and owner."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I'm Tannim," Tannim said. "I noticed you're looking for help, and I'd like to apply."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles looked the young man over with a little more interest. "Have you any experience with magic?" he asked. "Or retail?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I haven't done much in retail," Tannim admitted. "But I've been studying magic for years."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Really." Now Giles' interest was really piqued. "What type?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure what you'd call it," Tannim said. "Not flashy stuff - just like, communicating with elementals and ghosts, and magical combat. I've learned a lot about other planes and a lot about balance and energy flows."

That sounded less dangerous than some of the things Willow had been dabbling in or that he himself had played around with in his youth. "You any good?"

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Not too bad," Tannim said, with the feigned modesty of someone who would like to brag, but is too polite to do so.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"What days would you be able to work?" Giles asked, impressed with the quiet confidence Tannim seemed to have.

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"I have workshops on Mondays and Fridays," Tannim said. "I'm free the rest of the week."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"How about Thursdays?" Giles offered.

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Thursdays would be fine," Tannim said. "Thank you, Mr...?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Giles," Giles said with a smile. "Rupert Giles."

[sonofdragons.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you." Tannim offered his hand. "Tannim Drake.

Robin had decided to go explore the town a bit, and saw the help wanted sign.

His allowance wasn't much, so a job might help. So in he came. "Hello?"

If Gile's can't hire him no problem, there's always Empire maybe

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Hello, can I hel-" Giles began turning from the stocking he'd been doing and losing words for a moment when he saw he was addressing a small frog.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi! I'm Robin, I'm one of the new students." mun will never stop giggling at each first meeting

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"You're a frog." There were times when one just had to point out the obvious.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Yes I am." Robin said proudly. "Pleased to meet you."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Likewise," Giles replied automatically. Still staring.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"So, what do you sell here?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

Giles gave himself a mental shake. "Magic supplies and paraphealia," he said. "Spell components and such. Eye of newt and leg of toa-" Giles broke off; it was probably quite rude to talk to a frog about selling amphibious body parts.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin managed to miss the last part due to goggling about the store itself. "Wow! The sign in the window said you were hiring?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I am," Giles said.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Is there an application I could fill out?"

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I haven't really been bothering with applications," Giles said. "Just interviewing people when they come in."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Oh okay. Well I've never worked retail before, but I'm good with math and I'm a quick learner. And I'm very organized." Robin realized that working here could help him earn his Occult Merit Badge for Frog Scouts.

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"Are you now?" Giles asked, bemused at the conversation. Or at least with the other participant. "What days would you be willing to work?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin thought. "Well I don't have any workshops on mondays. And Sundays are good too."

[exwatcher.livejournal.com]

"I already have someone covering Mondays, but if you'd be willing to work Sundays..."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Yeah I can do that." Robin agreed readily.
