Who's Randal and why should I care? ~~You have 12 seconds to reply~~

Do you have that one friend, the one that makes you look at things you wouldn't want to look at? The one that makes you laugh at things wholly inappropriate and things that shouldn't be said out loud or in any company?

He just used a nail gun to harass a customer, not just harass, but chase them out of the store, screaming.

And I'm just left dumbfounded.

... [laughs!] He sounds incredible. He single?

By choice, by nature, or by some cosmic blessing, yes.

Though I do warn you, heart breaking is highly possible, no, unavoidable with him.

I'd swear he was soulless if he hadn't shown some heart about a year back.

As long as he has one and not a stone, you can give me his number. Savvy?

I'm Katy by the way.

Sure.

The name's Dante, owner and proprietor of the Quick Stop.

[holds out her hand for numbertimes!]

A quick stop.. I haven't seen one of those in a while. I could so go for some crisps.. [loses focus a minute] Do you sell chocolate?

*writes down on free piece of paper handy* That should do.

We're rebuilding the store so we don't have much. Coffee and newspapers at the moment. Next month we'll have the store up and going with some stock. The displays and stuff will be up. Two months will be the installation of the new fridges.

Thanks... [pockets it]

Maybe I'll stop in sometime. Hope you won't be offended if I throw it up after.

You'll be more than welcome to. I, uh, don't think I'll mind. Just don't make it a habit.

[nods absently] I'll think on it.

So, of all the stores you could run - why a Quick Stop?

Well, I know the business, very well. This was the job I used to get money when I was in high school and the summer jobs when you're just too bored to do anything else.

It was fun, actually. I mean yea there were some...unhappy memories, harsh occurrences, and general bad days.

This was the best I could find and I'm happy I found it again.

You're not the only one living a daily reminiscence of high school. It's comforting, in a way. I'll definitely stop in when you get up and running :)

Cool, I'm sure you'd like Jay and Silent Bob too. They hang out at the front of the store often. Good for a laugh or at least a conversation.

~~or maybe a drug connection~~

Great guys.~~Only cuz I'm indebted to them.~~

I'd love to meet them :)

~~Orly? lol.~~

That's good...~~for the aforementioned?~~

I'm sure they'd be glad to meet you too.

~~Ya Rly!~~

~~They put the money up for the store, and struck a deal that lets them hang out at the front of the store all the time.~~
