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.

Irulan smiled at the boy, "Yes, it is a hat shop. Would you like to purchase one?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-23 07:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Well, I do like to keep the rain off my face," he admitted. "What do you recommend?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-23 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"We have a selection (http://www.lockhatters.co.uk/Straw__amp__Panama_Hats-c61.aspx) here that may be to your liking."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-23 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"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.

"You do indeed," Irulan agreed with a smile.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"So... how much?" he asked, trying not to preen.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
Irulan told him and she suppressed the smile she had because, well... he was preening.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
Jack, luckily, had enough to cover the sale (and any additional preening charge), which he presented to Miss Irulan.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
"Thank you," Irulan said. "Will that be all...?" She didn't get his name.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:31 am (UTC)(link)
"I suppose so? I mean, unless there's another hat that I'd look this good in," he said with a grin.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 04:57 am (UTC)(link)
"There are plenty of hats to choose from," Irulan said, "and all will make you look good."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
"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."

"Unless you want to work here and you can get a discount," Irulan returned easily.

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-24 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
He looked around at all of the hats. "What kind of discount are we talking about here?" he asked, slowly.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-26 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"50% off for employees," she told him.

[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.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-27 02:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Irulan stated a generous amount, "My shop is open Monday, Wednesday and Saturday which day would you like?"

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-27 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)
That was a generous amount. His grin got even wider. "Well, I have class on Monday...how about Wednesday, then?"

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-28 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
"Wednesday is wonderful," Irulan stated with a smile. "If you have any questions, please don't be afraid to ask!"

[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.

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-29 01:22 am (UTC)(link)
"It opens at 9am," she explained, "and closes at 5 pm, there's a lunch break and you may have snacks inside the shop but only if you keep it clean. Don't worry, I shall assist you on Wednesday and help you around."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-29 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
"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?]

[identity profile] irulan-atreides.livejournal.com 2009-07-29 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
"I'll see you then, if you're sure it isn't inconvenient to you."

[identity profile] inthereflexes.livejournal.com 2009-07-29 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not inconvenient at all!" he said with a grin. Paychecks were never inconvenient.
