Turtle and Canary, Monday (9/8)

Sokka was sort of grumpy as he stood behind the counter today. Two nights ago, he'd been visited in his dreams by ACTUAL spirits, from the ACTUAL Spirit World, which was all KINDS of awesome, but what they had to say basically was that he needed to scrap all of his battle plans. ALL of them. Great. When he graduated, he was going to get home three years older and just as useless.

There wasn't any sort of island-wide weirdness going on, and the island didn't seem to have moved again since they got to Maryland, and... well, it was a pretty normal day. He would have just about killed for a distraction.

Today's Squishy flavors: Grape Judas, Monkey, The Smell of Napalm in the Morning

Except when he's off at class.

Hurley entered Turtle and Canary to scope out the Squishy flavors.

"Dude... have you actually tried the Napalm one?"

Sokka, sucking away at a Monkey Squishy, eyed the SquishyBot warily. "Nope! And I don't intend to. Monkey's pretty good, though."

He frowned. "Are you a newbie? You don't look familiar."

"Yeah, I'm new," Hurley said, starting to get himself a monkey flavored Squishy. "My name's Hurley."

"Sokka," he replied, with a bit of a grin. "You can always tell which one I am, because I'm AWESOME. ...You've been given the standard warnings about gremlins and glitter, right?"

"Gremlins, yeah," Hurley said. "Glitter, not so much. Is there, like... magic glitter or something?"

Sokka nodded. "It makes boys kiss each other. Some people are okay with that, but if you're not? Don't get any on you."

Hurley blinked a few times.

And asked the most important question a teenaged boy could in these situations.

"What happens if girls end up with glitter?"

Sokka shrugged, with a twinkle in his eye. "Nobody's ever said," he replied, "but we can always hope, right?"

Hurley chuckled. "Yeah," he said. He plopped down the Squishy on the counter and smiled. "I think this is it for me."

"You're sure?" Sokka asked, frowning. "Chips, pretzels, candy? Glitter? Comic books? Consumer electronics?" He waved his hands around. "It's a big store -- we've got anything you need. ...Oh, hey: If you don't have a radio already, you should get one. They're pretty useful around here."

"...what sort of candy you got?" Hurley said, easily swayed the way of junk food.

Sokka shrugged. "What kind you want?" Turtle & Canary had damn near everything.

Hurley thought for a second.

"You got anything... like... special? Like, I wouldn't find back home."

Sokka blinked. "Uh... You're asking the wrong guy. I wouldn't be able to tell you what's special or not. Go on and take a look, though!" He gestured at the aisle full of all sorts of types of candy. "Anything that isn't there, we can order."

Hurley nodded. He went to the shelves and found some candy of various brands he'd never seen before, and brought them up to the counter.

"You're a good salesman, dude."

Sokka nodded. "That's what they pay me for."

"I'll have to, like, get some tips from you. I'm working over at Groovy Tunes on Saturdays now," Hurley said.

"Here's a tip," Sokka replied, with a smirk. "Check out our aisle of CDs over there."

So what if there was a limited selection? They were reasonably priced!

Hurley laughed, assuming that Sokka was joking.

"How much do I owe you for the candy and Squishy?"

Who is whistling a happy tune

Pretend I said something witty in this OCD here.

I think you've broken my brain with that last squishy flavor. And thanks for the earworm!

Suddenly, I have the strangest desire to sample the Monkey Squishy.

I find your obsession with eating monkeys disturbing.
