The Imperial Brim, [Wednesday, July 22]

Irulan was humming, for one she received Charlotte's invitation to the wedding and for the other her stepson was no longer a tree. She felt this a cause for a celebration.

This meant she would be sending Leto a hat and Ghani too, just because.


Now hiring! Inquire inside!


The Imperial Brim is open.

Hiring? Well, Jack could always use a few more bucks in his pocket, so in he went.

"...it's a hat shop?" he said, looking around.

"Well, I do like to keep the rain off my face," he admitted. "What do you recommend?"

"Well, I think this (http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/Straw___Panama_Hats-Sinatra_Straw-P113.aspx) looks good," he said, trying it on and looking for a mirror.

"So... how much?" he asked, trying not to preen.

Jack, luckily, had enough to cover the sale (and any additional preening charge), which he presented to Miss Irulan.

"I suppose so? I mean, unless there's another hat that I'd look this good in," he said with a grin.

"I'll have to come back," he said, looking around. She was right: there were a lot of hats, and they'd all make him look good. He was impressed muchly.

"I'll have to pick up extra shifts at the Photo Hut to buy all that I want," he joked. "Unless you want to run up a tab? Burton. Jack Burton."

He looked around at all of the hats. "What kind of discount are we talking about here?" he asked, slowly.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
He stared. "That's a lot of hats!"

Poof! His entire paycheck would be gone.

"What's the pay and when do I start?" he asked with a grin.

That was a generous amount. His grin got even wider. "Well, I have class on Monday...how about Wednesday, then?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-28 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"Certainly! Um. I do have a few," he said, and asked a few general questions about the shop, opening, and closing.

"I'll make sure I'm there bright and early," he said with a grin. He was trying to remember if he told he about his single class on Wednesdays.

[You want me to make the Wednesday post or are you?]

"It's not inconvenient at all!" he said with a grin. Paychecks were never inconvenient.
