Magic Box, Thursday

Ami opened the store. Setting her laptop on the counter, she proceeded to obsessively check on her newly hatched virtual baby dragons. She knew it was a dumb obsession, but she did it anyway. They were just so very very cute!

Obviously not pleased, Kael'thas stormed into the store, then turned and locked the door. He seemed to be mumbling to himself, but not in any language Ami would likely know.

"Um, may i help you?" Ami asked, looking up from the laptop.

Pausing, Kael'thas turned and looked at Ami blankly for a moment. "Who are you?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami jumped up, realizing she had not introduced herself. "I am sorry, i am Ami Mizuno" she said, using the americanized order of her name. "Welcome to the Magic box. May i help you find anything?"

"You're the other employee," he said, eyes narrowing slightly. "I'm Kael'thas Sunstrider - I now run this shop, which I have need of, and you may have the day off."

"Pleasure to meet you" Ami said bowing slightly. "Is Mr Giles not returning then?" Had she really been that much out of it again that she had missed a change in ownership?

Hearing Kael'thas' last words she tilted her head slightly. "Alright. Anything i can help with?"

"Mr. Giles is taking indefinite leave of this place," he informed her. "And likely not. Unless you know how I might locate someone who deals in furniture."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Oh." Ami thought for a moment "You mean a furniture store? You can Google it."

[willbewretched.livejournal.com]

He stared at her again, frowning in bemusement. "Excuse me?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"You can look up furniture and where to get it. On the internet."

[willbewretched.livejournal.com]

"Speak as though I have no idea what you mean by that," he said with an edge to his tone.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami turned her laptop around so he could see the screen. "Alright. This is a computer. It is connected to the internet, which is a network of all kinds of information. One can use it to look up information. Including information on location of furniture dealers. Local or nearby ones. Using the internet is somethign i am good at, and can help you look things up." She hoped that was clear enough.

Kael'thas looked at the computer curiously, but made no move to touch it. Waving a hand as if to tell her to get on with that, he turned to look at the store around them, his tone brusque. "Excellent. Is there some way to contact people from a distance then, as well?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Yes, you can call them on the telephone, or send them a letter through the computer." After a beat she added "As well as sending them letters through the regular post office" She turn the laptop back around and puled up a new browser tab "Is there any specific furniture you need? Do you want a store to go to, or do you want to purchase furniture over the computer to have it delivered?" as an after thought she added "do you have local currency?" He seemed a bit... new to this town? world? plane of existence? It was Fandom after all...

"I have gold, which seems to be acceptable so far," he said, unconcerned. "What is a telephone?"

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"Gold will work on this island, but not off of it i don't think. You need coins and paper money." She pulled a dollar bill and some change out of her pocket. "Like this" she layed the coins on the counter. "A telephone is a device that allows two people far away from each other to speak to each other. All you need is the unique number associated with the other device. There is one here" she pointed to the phone on the counter. "Though no one calls"

[willbewretched.livejournal.com]

"Engineered devices; of course it would be. But it's concise enough an explanation," he murmured, looking critically at the telephone before glancing back at Ami. "Thank you. I think I can figure out what I need from here."

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

"So... you don't want me to help you find furniture?"

[willbewretched.livejournal.com]

He seemed about to snap at her, then stopped, exhaling slowly. "No, you may go," he said finally, still somewhat curt.

[slr-mercury.livejournal.com]

Ami shrugged. She was merely trying to help. "Alright. Call me if i can help with anything. My number is in the employee listing next to the phone" She gathered up her things and left the store.

Kael'thas nodded, though he was already preoccupied with his thoughts and making mental plans. It wasn't anything personal, really, that he was throwing her out, he just had other things to think about.
