Retail 101, Monday morning, All and Sundries

Is Edmund drunk? Does he have a toothache? Does he just really not care about the class today? Hard to say. Regardless, he pays little to no attention to the students as they file in.

After several minutes to allow the students to get restless, he finally stood up and began to speak. "Inventory," he enunciated very carefully. "We've already discussed it. Ostensibly, you've familiarized yourselves with All and Sundries' inventory, although I have my doubts about most of you."

He rolled his eyes and swayed until he leaned against the counter in an attempt to look casual.

"Come up with an item that All and Sundries does not have in inventory that you would like to see. Then, because you're oooooh, so clever, tell me how the handsome proprietor of All and Sundries would obtain it for you. Do I need to arm wrestle a demon? Kiss a frog? Kiss the arm of a frog demon?" He swayed a little and had a sip of his... coffee.

"Shoo. Go on with you. Plot. Maim. Destroy. Come to me when you're ready."

[ooc: Edmund will be argumentative about your ideas. Expect to have to sell him on it. You may work with a partner or alone. Spend as much time as you'd like discussing it with other students, etc.]

"You were Alanna this weekend?" Willow asked, giving him a look that said for the love of God please say no.

"Yes, yes I was."

"People were actually different people this weekend?"

"I think people thought they were different people."

"Oh god!" Willow looked ready to panic.

Zack bit his lip before adding. "I'm pretty sure you thought you were Nadia."

Willow clapped a hand to her mouth. It was the only thing that kept her from Eeking so loud that the entire town heard her.

"You suggested we should jump off the roof to eliminate emo."

Willow reached over to try to clutch Zack's arm. "Please tell me I tried to do that, hit my head, and spent all of Sunday in a coma!"

"We just jumped on the roof," Zack replied. "Sorry."

"Maybe the coma came after?" Willow insisted.

"Not that I saw."

Willow was definitely panicking now.

"Maybe you should check the radio?" Zack suggested.

"Oh god," Willow said, about ready to hyperventilate. "I should, um - yes."

Zack started looking for paper bags. Thank goodness they were in a store. "Willow? Breathe."

"I need to be dead now!" Willow said.

Re: Talk about the assignment

[identity profile] twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com 2006-08-07 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Willow, death is not the answer," Zack said. "It merely makes more work for the lab people."

Hee! "I'll go quietly, I promise!" Willow said, clutching her books to her chest. "I - I'm a witch. I could do a spell. A spell that makes my body vanish after I've killed myself. Hardly any mess at all!"

"But if you're dead you can't be sure it'll work."

Re: Talk about the assignment

"But I'll be dead and think of the advantage of that!" Willow insisted.

"There is no advantage to having to fill out autopsy forms for unexplainable deaths. In triplicate."

"I'll leave a note to explain it," Willow said, helpfully.

"'Magic spell' is not considered a valid answer."
