Turtle and Canary, Thursday

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka arrived on time and set up for his shift. ...Actually, he didn't. He arrived several hours early, to try and see if he could get there before Apu. Yeah, not gonna happen.

So, there Sokka was, behind the counter, half-asleep. And if Apu was looking smug? Totally your imagination.

Later in the afternoon, he fell asleep on his Squishy and had to clean it up.


Today's Squishy flavors: Pink Razzamatazzaberry, Salisbury Steak, Grape Judas

Talk to Sokka

Go on, you know you want to. Ignore the brown stain on his shirt.

G'Kar stepped into the store that he now owned part of it. Or would soon, rather. Since the paperwork wouldn't be completed for another few days yet. So he was officially the new unoffical co-owner. He'd meant to come by yesterday, really he did, but he got caught up in getting the apartment and checking out of the hotel.

He'd moved some things into the apartment already, but needed a few things. By coming to the store, he could do two things at once - buy the few personal things he needed, a radio finally! and meet one of the employees. He carried his chosen selections to the counter. "Good day," he greeted warmly.

"It is, isn't it?" Sokka asked.

He got a good look at the person -- tall, check. Spots, check. This must be G'Kaaaaaaahr! Probably. It's too bad that the question that came out of his mouth somehow morphed into "Are those your spots?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

G'Kar gave him a wry smirk. "Since they are in fact, on me, I can only assume that they must indeed belong to me. Unless they somehow transferred themselves to me when I was not aware of it. In which case, I may possibly be in a great deal of trouble, as there would certainly be someone missing their spots."

Did G'Kar have a way with words or what?

Re: Talk to Sokka

Sokka sighed, smacked his forehead, and started over. Bowing contritely, he said, "My apologies. What I meant to ask is, are you in fact G'Kar, the new owner? The only description I've been given is 'tall, with spots'."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I am G'Kar," he replied, returning Sokka's bow. "I suppose tall, with spots would be an apt description of me. No apologies are necessary."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"I'm still sorry," Sokka replied, but then broke off in alarm. "You're not getting a Squishy! You can't be the new owner of the store and NOT get a Squishy!"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

"What is a Squishy?"

Oh, if G'Kar only knew what he was asking.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka's eyes widened. "You don't know???? It's only the SINGLE MOST AWESOME THING ON THE PLANET." He waved G'Kar over to Bob, the SquishyBot. "Frozen. Flavored. Slushy. GOODNESS. Three flavors daily, which we rotate. Employees get them for free." He held up his own half-finished Squishy and took a sip.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

Frozen and flavored only told G'Kar so much. The term slushy was as unfamiliar to him as squishy. But from Sokka's example, it appeared to be some type of frozen beverage. "I suppose I could try one. Which kind would you recommend?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Well, I'D recommend the meat-flavored one, but for some reason I'm the only person on the island who likes them, so you might not either." Sokka shrugged. "I've got NO clue what the pink one is, but Grape Judas is one of our two standard best-sellers. So... Go with that one?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[gkar-lastkhari.livejournal.com]

G'Kar considered this as he looked at the display. The pink-whatever it was didn't seem very appealing and the grape...well, fruit was good too, but the mention of meat caught his interest. "Perhaps I could try a small amount of two? The grape and the meat."

Mel was bored. And hungry. Somehow she ended up here.

"Hey. I'm hungry. Gimme food and what's with the brown stain on your shirt?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Okay, 1) it's not a stain, it's a work-related mishap, 2) I can't gimmyou food until you're a little more specific, and 3) I'm only authorized to sell things to people who are polite and/or have money."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

Mel crossed her arms and glared at Sokka. "Okay. 1.) It's a stain. 2.) I don't know what I want and 3.) The customer is always right. So shut up and suggest something to eat."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"It's a WORK-RELATED stain," Sokka pouted, "so it doesn't count!" He smirked at her. "And if you really want me to suggest something... Cheetos, a Slim Jim, Oreos, and a Salisbury Steak Squishy. And a better--" He stopped himself before actually mentioning Zuko, and just let that last sentence hang.

Re: Talk to Sokka

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

... "A better what?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka's mouth opened and closed a few times. "Never mind. I'll give you a 10% discount if you pretend I didn't go there."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"... Go WHERE?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"15% off and a free Squishy if you don't hit me?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Why? Why do you always have to bring that up?" Mel snapped. "It's like you're obsessed with him. Do you have a crush on Zuko or something?"

Re: Talk to Sokka

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"Pretend I didn't bring it up!" Sokka protested. "I didn't mean to!"

He sighed and hung his head. "I'm sorry. Look, the Fire Nation's done a lot of bad things over the past hundred years. I lost my mother to the war. And Zuko personally spent a long time trying to kill me and kidnap my best friend." He shrugged. "I probably shouldn't hate him so much, but it's hard not to. And I like you. You're pretty cool. You deserve better than him. That's all."

Re: Talk to Sokka

[cantjossme.livejournal.com]

"Well there is no him," Mel said going from disgruntled to... well... gruntled. "Not since the whole thing with the cave so-"

Mel broke off. "So yeah. Sorry. I keep forgetting the part where he was a complete obsessive nut, you know?"
