Wonka's Sweets Shoppe, Wednesday

[smilestopscars]

It was Ezra's second-to-last shift at Wonka's today. Probably. Assuming he made it in next week. It wasn't as if his schedule was set in stone, or any other particularly hard material, for that matter.

He went with the flow.

And today's flow was supposed to involve cake, later. But for now, it was mostly assembling a very fetching display of all manner of apple-flavored sweets in the store's window.

He was trying to sneak foxes into the theme. And failing.

[ooc: Open! May be slow.]

Look, Awesome class had left Ada wanting something awesome, and to her mind, nothing was more awesome (at least at this moment) than something sweet. And she'd been slightly homesick so... she was wandering in to Wonka's on a mission. A cotton candy -- or rock candy, she wasn't too picky -- mission.

"Hello?"

[smilestopscars]

Ezra straightened up at the counter, where he'd been busying himself with writing notes for Bucky about Halloween candy orders.

"Well hello."

[boneyard_girl]

And wasn't that a nice greeting?

"'M lookin' for some sugar," Ada said, keeping a straight face somehow. "Cotton candy, if'n you got it, or whatever else falls under 'sugar with sugar on top.'"

[smilestopscars]

"You've come to the right place!" Ezra declared, only somehow managing to keep himself from a whole array of cheesy lines about sugar. Possibly because he was waiting to fling one out when it was a little more surprising. "We have cotton candy in mason jars, but also, well."

He gestured around himself.

"There's more sugar all over than most people know what to do with."

[boneyard_girl]

"Who puts perfectly good cotton candy in a jar?" Ada asked, utterly baffled by the idea. Why did Townies make things so complicated?

"But if'n you got recommendations, I got a sweet tooth."

[smilestopscars]

Ezra slipped out from behind the counter. "Well, I could recommend something at random ––" And honestly, he'd done that before. "–– or, I could ask if you have any other preferences beyond sugar on top of sugar."

[boneyard_girl]

"I like flavors best, over type of candy. Tart or sour 's always nice," she said thoughtfully. "Or that funny blue flavor that people thinks tastes like raspberries but ain't, or anything apple."

[smilestopscars]

Ezra perked up at that last one. Not that he'd exactly been slouching before. "Apple? Then you're definitely in luck. See, we're having a special on all things apple." He gestured for her to follow him along to the window, and the display in front of it. "I saw some of those apple lollipops with the sour dip, earlier."

[boneyard_girl]

Ada followed Ezra, looking around at all the candy with unfeigned delight. She was going to be using up more of her spending money than planned, but it was going to be so worth it.

"I love those lollipops," she said, looking over his shoulder at the window display. "Oh! Do you got caramel apples? I know it ain't fall yet but..."

The mermaid had a weakness, and it was caramel apples.

Ezra shook his head. "I'm afraid not, darling." And he was genuinely sorry, if only because he was in the business of giving pretty people what they wanted. Since that tended to work out in his favor. He glanced back at her. "But I'm sure we can find you something else just as good."
