Turtle & Canary; Sunday [1/27]

Doom was waiting for anyone... ANYONE... to try anything in the store today. Last week's shift annoyed him to no end and if anything even looked like it might approach that, there wouldn't be enough left over to bury. This was one of those rare times that he was wearing his gauntlets while working, just so he could react more quickly.

Today's Squishy flavors: Red, Grape Judas, Don't Even Think About It

That last one was kind of a minty flavor.

He fetches gauntlets.

He is in an even worse mood than normal.

Turtle was not looking forward to this, which was why she came in late in the morning, wanting to just get it out of the way. She drew in a deep breath, settling a very disappointed look across the counter as she folder her arms in front of her to look at her hapless disappointment of an employee. "Victor..." she greeted him, with a warning tone that matched the steady look in her eye. She figured he could figure out what this was about.

"Doom," Doom corrected once again. "Doctor Doom."

As far as Turtle was concerned, she was feeling that Victor should just be glad his name was Fired right now. "What happened?" she asked, with a look that suggested that he'd better realize that she was being magnanimous by giving him a chance to support his case regarding the Incident.

Deciding that being fired would likely cause him to curse Wexler's name and vow some sort of vengence against her - which would be unfortunate as he didn't despise her - he answered her question.

"Wilson - that is, the Deadpool Wilson - and the brute who runs the arms store teleported here in the middle of a fight. The brute Summers began to spout some nonsense about crushing the island under his fist, then attacked me while Wilson ate snack foods, proving himself to be useless. I was defending myself and the island as a whole."

Turtle let out a small, disgruntled sound, before sucking in a breath between her teeth. She fidgeted; having Victor mention the part about Mister Deadpool's voyeuristic approach to handling the situation that she'd gleaned from the tapes didn't settle well in her stomach. At all. In fact, it was probably the thing that had her so pissed off about the whole Event. "So," she said, slowly, eying Victor carefully for signs of bias, although that was pretty near impossible with that mask, "you claim to have had no hand in the start of the fight?" She blinked. "This...Summers guy...Mister Cable...he started it?"

"He was referring to himself as War at the time, but yes," Doom said, speaking nothing but the truth. "He made threats to myself and the island and attacked first."

Drawing in another breath, this time through biting down slightly on her lip in consideration, Turtle's strength melted slightly. "Well," she observed, "I guess I can hardly hold it against you for, at its simplest, defending the store. I guess, in a way, I should be appreciative, although I do wish you could have done it in a more....professional, less destructive fashion, Victor."

"Doom," Doom corrected once more. "Doctor Doom. Rest assured that if a less destructive option aside from the DEATH OF DOOM had been available, it would have been taken. While I appreciated the opportunity to test my weapons and defense systems, I have no desire to battle a crazed man who believes himself to be a Horseman of the Apocalypse."

Not yet, at least. Not until he was fully prepared to win that kind of battle.

Turtle sighed heavily, though she nodded. "Okay," she said. "Good. Because next time something like that happens, I want you to handle in in a more...legalize way, by calling the troopers, having them dispose of the problem, so then it can be handled in the proper, respectable ways of the court system."

You know, the way that leaves her with some actual control over things and might even help her resume look better, and not leave her being stuck feeling grateful to Jamie for helping her clean up Victor's mistake.

Doom had little respect for the troopers or court system so he probably wasn't going to actually do as Wexler requested. But depending on the situation, it was something he could see himself doing if only to make life easier on him or more difficult for others. "I will do that if possible. If impossible, I will make an attempt to bring the fight outside."

"I'd appreciate that very much," Turtle said, making sure her voice was clear, distinct, and assertive as she nodded. "Thank you, Victor, and I do appreciate your efforts to defend the store. I'm just glad that it wasn't so bad that we couldn't get it all fixed up. I, of course, am going to have to still double check some of the references, make sure all the stories match, but, for today, I'm really sorry, but I'm going to stick around the store to keep an eye on things, just to be on the safe side."

"DOOM," Doom corrected. Again. "Do what you will. It is your store, after all."

I must use this icon for everything ever, thank you,
