Kaileen had a few weeks until her eldest brothers birthday. She didn't really know what she was going to get him. She was so bad at gift giving. It was a good thing that she overheard him talking about wanting a new laptop. She had saved enough to buy him a good laptop. She found herself walking around Best Buy just looking at the many computers and laptops that they had. She didn't know what to get. She didn't know much about theses things. She only knew that she had needed one to type and do school work. From what she heard you can do so much more on them. [ ((110))

Sunny huffed a little frustratedly under her breath, awkwardly putting a laptop back where it belonged -- she'd gotten used enough (enough was such a poor word for it, but she wasn't used to it, didn't ever think she would be - it was okay to be out in public without completely embarrassing herself, so she deemed it 'used enough') to not having the weight of her left arm and to not having the extra hand, but some things were just meant to be done with two hands for safety. God forbid she dropped it, she didn't have the money to replace a broken inventory item. The girl walking along looked completely baffled, though, so -- she could do a little good. ( Stop distracting yourself, you know you're doing this to feel like a hero, her thoughts sneered, and she crushed them down with no mercy until they quieted.) "I know I'm not an employee, but -- do you need anything in particular? I think they're all a little tied up at the moment, so..."

Kaileen was a little startled. She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she almost didn't wear someone else calling out to her. She looked up and smiled at the pleasant girl who had ask her if she needed any kind of help. "Why yes. I am trying to find a laptop for my brother but there are so many of them. I don't know if they are the same or should I just pick one to buy Would it make a difference?" Kaileen turned back toward the display of laptops. "What is RAM or RPM?" Kaileen was feeling a little stressed out. ((104))

This was something she could answer -- something that made her useful. Sunny grinned a practiced customer-service smile, flawless, and tried to explain at the lowest level. "It depends what your brother would be using it for, of course. Would he be using it mostly for school? Does he play video games, or edit films? Depending on what he does with his time, one product might be a better purchase than the others, even if it's not quite in your price range." She stopped to take a breath, apparently satisfied by the vaguest hint of comprehension in Kaileen's eyes so far. "RAM is the main memory of the computer - think of it kind of like the top of a desk. The more you're doing, the less space there is, right? So more RAM means the computer can store more data at a time. RPM is a little more complicated, but basically a higher RPM means the computer can access data faster; not all computers have it, though, but it depends on what components they have." xdeathxbyxlovex two more posts from each of us should hit wordcount and be fine for a fin i think

Kaileen had to think it over a little. She knew that her brother played games on his old laptop a lot. Most of them involved joining a team and doing missions. And he did sometimes use it for college work. And to may be look around on the net. Kaileen never used any of her brothers computers before. She aS just to scared of what she might find on them. "My brother plays games and does school work on them. Thank you for helping me out." She looked around the store. "Have you ever thought of like maybe getting a job here?"

Sunny's smile went flinty at the edges, damaged, and didn't quite recover. "I used to work at a place a lot like this. Life got in the way, though. But I'm glad I could help! It'd suck, buying a laptop and meaning well only to find out that it's not what that person needs at all." Not that she could say for sure, but it was a probable thing; one of those many little probable things. "If you'd like, I could help you figure out which one would be best for that?"

"Oh I'm sorry for whatever happened." It must not really be easy to have to be around anything that might remind you of past work or anything of that manner. She did think that the girl would still make a good employee if not here than at some other electronic store. "Oh my god. Where are my manners? I'm Kaileen." Kaileen them relooked over the laptops that were displayed. "I would very much woild like your help. Umm." Kaileen had to quickly thought over what she was looking for when it came to buying an laptop she just needed to hope she made the right one. "A laptop that is in my budget and is not heavy in case my brother has to carry it in his backpack. And maybe one in red. That is his favorite color." Kaileen started listing things from the top of the head. She probably should have written them down before coming here but as illiterate as she was when it came to things like this she didn't even think it over. "I am sorry if it's all too much for you. Thank you again for your help I really appreciate it." Daekie you can do a quick exit post if you eant. ((197))

Sunny honestly wasn't sure if this girl was clueless or just trying to be nice about it or something else entirely, but in a way it was a nice change from the usual i'm so sorry about your arm it must be terrible nonsense that usually amounted when she vaguely mentioned 'life happened'. It was a return to old ways, and she could fall into it without even trying, as long as nothing broke that facade. "And I'm Sunny." She moved closer to the laptops, looking them over. "Okay, so keeping in mind budget and intended use and size..." (She was mumbling a little under her breath, clicking her tongue to list off things she couldn't exactly write down.) "Okay, taking all that into account, you're probably going to want one of these!" She pointed to one laptop, then a second, explaining brand name and price. "That one's a little pricier, but it's newer tech by a little bit so it really depends how close you want to skirt the budget..." Playing customer tech support was easy to fall into, yes, and she always felt at her best when helpful. It was good, wasn't it? Wasn't this? xdeathxbyxlovex yeah i'll call it fin there, tyvm!
