Magic Box, Friday, 9/16

All was normal in the magic shop today, and that was a relief; Tara took some time just to tour the store and make sure nothing was missing or locked up for her protection.

Once that was done, she settled in to unbox a new shipment of spellbooks. She leafed through them as she went. Half of them looked like balderdash to her, but there were a couple minor effects she might be eager to try.

She also put a sign in the window:

Now Hiring! Inquire Within.


[OOC: No OCD, open magic shop! Every day but Friday is available.]

Shira was having a very productive day, one that also seemed to include wandering into the Magic Box.

And noticing the sign on her way in.

And then working up the courage to approach the young woman in the shop.

"Hey," Tara said, softly. She knew how to recognize shy when she spotted it. "Anything I can help you with?"

"I was just passing by and I saw the sign in the window," Shira explained. "And I've never been in here before, so hey, two reasons to come in." She gave Tara a grin.
life_inshadow: ([neu] I'm talking to you)

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2011-09-16 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh!" Tara said, smiling back. "Well, this is the shop, and the staff right now is, um ... me. Are you a witch, or just sort of generally interested?"

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 06:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm a witch," Shira replied. "Probably not like you are, though."

She was assuming on that one, based on the whole working in a Magic Shop thing. She was also hoping she hadn't just offended the person that could amount to her future boss.

life_inshadow: ([pos] mildly impressed)

"Pretty much nobody here is a witch like I am," Tara said, with a slight smile. "I'm the herbs and spells kind, not the type that's just born with powers."

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 09:32 pm (UTC)(link)
"Still a witch, though," Shira said with a nod. "Me, I'm... I guess you'd say I'm the born with powers type."
life_inshadow: ([neu] talking)

"There are always more of those," Tara said, though she didn't sound like she minded. "So ... did you want to hear more about working here? Because I could definitely use some help."

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"I would, actually," Shira said, nodding again.

"Most of the time it's calm," Tara said, as she started to lead Shira through the store. "I mean, it's the island, but the weird isn't usually anything you can't handle. Um, one time I got rabbits randomly popping out of a hat. That was sort of cute."

She showed off the sections: Books, herbs & other spell components, candles, crystals, a few pieces of ceremonial clothing, some teas and healing drinks. "Not all of these are part of my practices," she said carefully, as she was wrapping up. "But you still want to be careful, right? You never know what's more powerful than it seems. Not that I think you wouldn't be careful, just ... I learned that one the hard way a few times."

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
"You definitely want to be careful," Shira agreed. "I mean, even if it's not more powerful than it seems, we're still in Fandom. Who knows what this place might do wacky things to?"
life_inshadow: ([neu] very intent and looking down)

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2011-09-16 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"And when things are already magic on their own ..." Tara added. "It can get wacky, yeah. But usually it's the fun kind of wacky."

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
"If it's usually the fun kind of wacky, I could definitely deal with that," Shira said. "Even if it's the un-fun kind of wacky, I could deal with. Or at least, I could probably figure out how to make it stop. Maybe."

"Or you can walk out, close the door, and figure it'll go away before your next shift," Tara suggested. "Which it usually does."

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, there's always that. But I'd kinda prefer not to just run out on it," Shira said with a laugh. "I'd feel bad if there was any mess caused -- feel bad for the person who came in next, that is."
life_inshadow: ([neu] this is what i think)

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2011-09-16 11:41 pm (UTC)(link)
"There is that to worry about," Tara admitted. "Anyhow, which day to you want? I mean -- if you still want the job?"

[identity profile] snarkyhealer.livejournal.com 2011-09-16 11:43 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well..." Shira thought for a moment. "You're here Fridays, right? So that's out. And I have classes on Mondays and Fridays, so I'd like to keep Mondays free. But... any other day, I could do. How's Wednesday sound?"
life_inshadow: ([neu] looking into the distance)

[personal profile] life_inshadow 2011-09-17 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
"Like a really good day to have somebody here," Tara decided. "I'll stop in next Wednesday to train you and everything."

"I really appreciate that," Shira said. "Because I'm sure I'll have all kinds of questions and just in general be flailing since it's my first day and all."
life_inshadow: ([pos] i smile like a dork)

"And if you flailed and knocked over the pig's eyeballs, that would be messy," Tara said firmly. "So, I have to prevent that.:
