Strokes of Genius Sunday 9/14

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

After a long day of stocking yesterday, Ammy was taking a well deserved rest on the outside stoop of their new store. Issun remained nearby; alert and bored. He hopped up and down waiting for someone to come along to talk to. Or to sell art supplies to. Or to flirt with. But mostly the last one.

He then remembered their promise to turn in art to the pretty lady at the art gallery. What was her name again? Charlotte. Right? With that in mind he got out some paper to make her a lovely painting. But as he worked he wondered if this was a contest and if they might win and get some extra cash. It was motivation to make this one quite the masterpiece.

((OOC: Open, and still hiring))

Bored and not particularly wanting to hang around the dorms in the event that people were going to be loud and annoying (in her particular view of the world this encompassed most teenage behavior), Katchoo was out and wandering the town.

Hard not to notice a white wolf sitting on the stoop of a store, though, and she had to stop and stare. The staring got an extended life when she realized what was inside the store, too.

"Hey there! A blonde! Wake up Ammy! Chick alert!" The small green-tinted sprite leaped up and down as her turned to greet her. "Hello there miss, anything you're looking for? Maybe a job...?"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what kind of job," Katchoo said warily; for one, she wasn't sure to make of a sprite talking to her, and for another the 'chick alert' comment had her mind going down the wrong kind of job track.

The wolf whined a bit and sat up, looking cute and clueless as she stared at the girl.
"Well working in our shop of course!" Issun indicated the building behind them.
This last bit was said with an AUDIBLE smirk, "But if you want a DIFFERENT job... well you can tell me... any time."

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Something dangerous flashed in Katchoo's eyes at the implication. "No way," she said vehemently, "I don't do jobs like that." Any more.

But she was running low on the little bit of cash she'd brought back with her from Hawaii -- stupid cigarettes -- and that $850,000 in Zurich was still maddeningly out of reach. And art supplies didn't come cheap, either, so she took a deep breath to calm down.

"Working in there, though . . . that I can do."

The canine wagged her tail with glee, and barked once. Yay for employees.
"Well! That's great news," Issun hopped left and right, "The boss is furball here. Amateratsu, Ammy, and I'm the wandering artist Issun. How about you sweetheart? Got a name for that lovely face?"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

The boss was the wolf. Of course. Frikkin' Fandom.

"Keep calling me sweetheart and you might not get my name," Katchoo said through clenched teeth before she remembered she should probably be nice to people offering her a job. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "Katina Choovanski."

"She's got bite! I like it!" The little sprite bounced towards her, but was promptly stomped by the boss. Who gave the new employee the nicest grin a wolf can muster without looking like it wants to eat you.
The little fellow was unfortunately not smashed enough to stop his mouth. "So what days are good for you Miss Katrina?"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Any day but Tuesday, I guess," Katchoo replied, with a bit of a look that said you'll never find out how much bite I have.

The wolf seemed nice, though. And boy, was that a thought she'd never expected to think.

Ammy's tail began to wag and she let Issun up. He seemed miraculously unharmed and he hopped right back into action. "Okay then, Ammy says you should work Wednesday and Thursday. Gives us a bit of time to relax."

((AFK time for dinner and movie))

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

Katchoo nodded. "Yeah, I can do that. Anything special you need me to do besides play register jockey and all that cr -- jazz?"

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

Issun fell into a short revery, he had the sort of imagination that got him in trouble. "Well... maybe we'll think of something..."
Ammy let out a soft growl, proof she knew his train of thought. He said nothing more on it and hopped a bit faster. "Great! We hope to see you Wednesday!"

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

"Wednesday, yeah," Katchoo said in her usual rasp. "I'll be here."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Oh," Viki said brightly, stopping when she noticed them, "you did find a shop after all!"

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

"Ya think?" Issun looked up from his nearly completed painting. "Oh hey! Miss Viki! Did you come around looking for a job?"
The wolf recognized her and wagged her tail in greeting.

((AFK for dinner and movie @.@ SP lattterrr..?))

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"I shouldn't think I would mind another if you're hiring," she said, unfased. "Are you then?"

[Totally alright with me! SP = win!]

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

"Ah you said you were a student huh? And the boss thinks we should only make you work once a week, so you can keep up with your studies... How about Friday?"
Ammy seemed to smile at the fact that they would have two nice people working for them. Issun continued his hopping, waiting for her response.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"That does, I rather think, work for me," she said, considering it. "And it should be rather easy to remember even more."

[thebuganddoggy.livejournal.com]

"Fantastic Miss Viki! We'll see you then!" Issun hopped.
Ammy barked, just for attention.
