Turtle & Canary; Monday [ 01/14 ]

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

While Turtle couldn't be there for Amber's training session last week due to classes and she still wasn't sure how the whole Sokka thing happened as a whole, she was positive that she was not going to not be here on Jamie's first day. No way, no how. Which meant that the poor boy was subjected to having his ear talked off as Turtle showed him how to open, how to work the cash register, and rambled off the seemingly never ending list of Important Stuff, all the while adding constant please that he did not leave her to regret this and that he didn't burn the SquishyBot out for all the Grape Judas she knew he was going to inevitably consume.

And it was just for that reason that they didn't have Grape Judas today.

Today's Squishy flavors: Red, Tangerine, Poached Eggs.

Turtle & Canary is open!

Because Turtle and Jamie are busy as Turtle shows him acceptable floor sweeping procedures.

While she is quite busy keeping an eye on Jamie, she might be willing to take a slight break.

"I know how to push a broom!" Jamie protested. "Seriously! You can go now! I don't need supervision!"

He so did.

"It's standard store procedure, Jamie," Turtle informed him with an insistent, important sort of voice as she held her clipboard. "Sulley, Sora, and Victor all had to go through this, too, you know. Amber was unfortunate; I have class all Wednesday, so I couldn't be here for hers." Besides, Amber was a girl and normal. "As far as Sokka goes, well, I honestly thought that maybe I had had a horrible nightmare where I hired him, and didn't think I actually did at first."

"So are you going to teach him how to sweep?" Jamie sulked as he wondered if he can get a duplicate to the storeroom where the Grape Judas might be.

Turtle sighed, desperate for someone to remind her why she allowed this, again? Anyone? She wondered if she could somehow blame Jeff. Her sanity had clearly been slipping ever since she started dating him. "I might, yes. Sweeping is important; I had to learn it the hard way one day when Apu said I was doing it wrong and, lordy, that was not a pretty day. The sweeping thing is for your own good."

"Fine..." Jamie said with a sigh. "Is there anything else I need to learn?"

Turtle working at Turtle and Canary. Of course there was a Marco doing a bad job of sneaking in.

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 01/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

And she was getting increasingly better at noticing the bad sneaking. "Hi, Marco," she muttered without even looking up from the notes she was making on her clipboard. She had eyes like a hawk today, what with the whole Jamie thing.

Marco pouted as he came up to Turtle. "Aw. I take time out of my busy day of video games to talk to my favorite shop keeper and all I get is a 'Hi, Marco'?"

"What?" Turtle asked, still scribbling down a few notes. "Did you expect fireworks and glitter? Maybe a little dance routine? I'm actually kind of busy today. Training a new hire." She, thinking herself subtle, gave a few pokes of her pen in the direction of where Jamie was working.

"I wouldn't mind some fireworks." Marco said thoughtfully. "Oh?"

Sky noticed that Turtle was otherwise occupied before wandering into Turtle & Canary, so he handwavily got a medium Red Squishy from Apu, very sad that he didn't even have Grape Judas to console himself with today. Or yesterday, as he tended to stay far away from the place when Doom was working. His bad weekend had left him an awful mix of drained, confused, angry, frustrated, and sad. He purposely took his time leaving the shop, not wanting to interrupt Turtle if she was busy, but hoping she'd notice and have a little time to chat.

Sky Tate? Too proud to just come out and say he was incredibly lonely? Why yes. Yes he was.

Although she was busy still making mostly idle notes about Jamie's progress, it would have been impossible for Turtle to not notice Sky loitering around well after he'd gotten what he needed. "Did you need something, Sky?"

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 01/14

"Morning, Turtle. Er, no, not really," said Sky, fiddling with his straw. "If you're busy, I'll leave you alone."

Re: Talk to Turtle -- 01/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Okay, that was kind of weird. "You sure?" Turtle asked, looking up with a tilt of her head. "Never too busy for a customer, after all, if you need something. All I'm doing is just keeping an eye on Jamie. It's his first day, so I just need to be on hand if he needs any help with anything or has any questions."

Talk to Jamie -- 01/14

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Once he pings in. But, of course, Turtle is keeping a close, close eye on him.

No Grape Judas? Screw that! Jamie was no pretty much ignoring everything Turtle was saying at this point as he looked around for where the grape judas syrup was stored.

Sokka walked up to the counter, sipping his Poached Eggs Squishy.

"...There are two people behind the counter," he said, with a raised eyebrow.

"...And one of them isn't Jamie," he added, feeling like he had to clarify that.

Re: Talk to Jamie -- 01/14

"Where do they hide the Grape Judas?" Jamie asked ignoring what Sokka said.

Re: Talk to Jamie -- 01/14

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Dude, poached eggs," Sokka replied, shaking his Squishy at Jamie. Then he shrugged and sighed. "Back there," he said, pointing. "Impossible to miss. The good flavors you have to really search for."

This post is brought to you by severe insomnia, permissible Jamie modding, and the letter Q.

No Grape Judas today? SADFACE. Sky's not gonna be happy when he wanders in. XD

Turtle: *makes Jamie deal with it*

Consider it detox from a concerned enabler supplier. ;)

Re: OOC -- 01/14

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

Forced detox! *chortle* He didn't get any yesterday, either, because Doom scares him a little too much. He'll have to be content with Red.
