Solai grinned at the tall moon trainee who was more or less her main source of internal agony. “Really? I just did what I was told to do and then I filed a request because I want to do other… things.” Secret things. Things that only death should know…right? She was just going to play it safe and assume it was all a secret. “But you’ve been here a while yes? I dunno, maybe the cookies helped…” Bribery at it’s best. “Sayaka, uh, just in case, I migggght forget your name. I’m… bad with names. But I’ll try not to okay?” Looking at the portals- “So which one do we take?”

Thankfully one could make out the bare lights of "BEST BUY" in bold neon yellow even through the swirling vortex of the portal, enough for trainees to navigate their way across. It looks like Mark thought about them, somewhat. Text from Mark Make sure to bring my baby back in one piece! ONE PIECE!!!! OOC TALKING TO A SALES CLERK:- Roll 1d6 as your students look around to investigate and ask questions! Feel free to NPC the sales clerk/ interaction as you please. Each trainee must roll twice. 1: Happy Sales Clerk: The sales clerk is so happy! She knows where everything is! Everything! Did you know that washing machines are having a 70% off sale? You didn't? Well why doesn't she show you around! She's more than happy to show you around the vacuum cleaner section too and the lawn mowers, and you've always wanted your own dishwasher right? 2: Derpy Sales Clerk: The derpy sales clerk gives you a glance. They have no clue what you're saying. Upon second inspection is seems the sales clerk is busy unloading boxes that have already been empty. They look at you with extremely vacant eyes. They might be drooling a bit. 3: Pissed Off Sales Clerk: The pissed off sales clerk doesn't have time with this bullshit. Didn't you @#$#$ HEAR THEM @#$#$ OUT OF THEIR @#$# BUSINESS. WHO THE @#$# CARES IF THIS IS CUSTOMER SERVICE @#$# OFF!!! 4: Extremely Sad Sales Clerk: The extremely sad sales clerk, instead of helping, regales your trainee in tales of how noone ever notices them... or buys anything from them. Everyone avoids them... they have such a terrible life.... they are really sad. When prompted as to why they tell you its too terrible to talk about. They then sort of stare at you with dejected eyes that burn into your soul. 5: Geeky Sales Clerk: The Geeky Sales clerk insists that the model of TV you want is so extremely outdated, no you want the newer model instead. God, people keep on making such retarded purchases, that one doesn't even have the latest HDMI conguration, no, THIS tv is the one you want. ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO THEM. 6: Nervous Sales Clerk: The nervous sales clerk keeps on wringing their shirt. They stare at you shiftily. They keep on staring left and right. Their legs are shaking. They can't process your question and keep on asking you to repeat it multiple times and when you finally do repeat it as slow as possible they scream and flee out the door.

Jason seemed a little crestfallen at that statement, looking the other way while awkwardly scratching his head. "Y-yeah, I've been here a while..." And it had taken him this long to get this mission. Although it was his own fault as well. Perhaps if he had done more of the training courses...
...Actually, he'd blame it on his weapon. It was HIS fault.
He soon spotted which portal to go through, the bright neon sign a clear signal to him. "This one." He pointed towards it, and then walking through.
No sooner then they had entered the store did another text message from mark arrived reinstating they had to get the TV in one piece. The request didn't seem to hard, since all he saw were shoppers and a few clerks around. All looking tired and unwilling to help them in their search for the TV. This might be a little more difficult then he first thought...
First things first. The moon trainee glanced around in search for something else, and it didn't take him to find it; a few spare copies of the catalog lying in piles next to the cashiers, which he gave to both Solia and Saya.
"S-so I don't end up hogging the only copy." He explained, then went to find a clerk to help them out. The one he found was....well, he felt there was something wrong with this guy.
"Excuse me, do you know where I can find this TV?" He pointed to the one in the catalog, and the clerk just stared at him. "Um...it's this one right here? I'm looking to purchase it?"
Nothing.
"Uhh...do you know where the electronics section is then?"
Still nothing.
Jason went to go find someone else for assistance.

It took him some time to find another clerk as it seemed they all wanted to run away at the mere sight of him. Seriously, it was like he had the plague or something.
Jason had to admit he had a point. With the metal encased books, the thick gloves and the white coat, he must of looked quite intimidating.
Thankfully he had found someone else to talk to. This one seemed more talkative, even if he looked rather depressed.
"Say, could you help to find-"
"My life is a bottomless pit of darkness that stabs at my very soul." Came a deadpan reply.
"...That's....horrible...why would that be?" Best be nice
"I better not tell you, it's not something a mere mortal could stand."
"..Right, could you just show me were to find this TV?"
"Theres no point, you wont buy it anyway. I have never made a single sale in my pitiful existence."
Zanthvos commented as Jason walked away

Saya thought happy usually went in hand in hand with efficient but this clerk was only showing her to the washer machines. Saya was a little exhausted, trying to explain she wanted this tv in this ad but the clerk insisted that their washer machines were the best!
.. Deus probably didn't need more washer machines.
Again, Saya was led around for another tour of electronics that weren't in the category she wanted to buy. She sighed inwardly, burying her face into her hands.
"Um.. About the television---"
"Did you know we're having a 60% sale off rice cookers?!"
"That's nice but televisions are what I'm looking for--"
Rice cookers it was.

After finally escaping from the happy store clerk, Saya tried to pull on the sleeve of another store clerk to catch their attention. Unfortunately, upon looking at her, they slumped in the corner once more.
Saya spent the next while trying to get them out of that corner for the television but the clerk refused to, clinging to the walls, making sounds of dying.
"My life is going to enddddddd--"
"Um, sir, is it because you're not making any sales--"
"YES MY LIFE IS GOING TO ENDDDDDDDD!!" The sounds of sobbing ensued.
"But I want to buy something, sir--"
"--- MY LIFE IS ENDINGGGGG, LEAVE ME ALOOONEEE"
All the while, staring at Saya with sad eyes.
Saya wasn't sure what to do in this situation.

The text just got a look. She could do it. Do it right along with getting the TV. Actually… She probably could. She could get it to go with the TV. Afetr all if Mark wanted one piece so bad… Well Solia was sure they had season 1 here somewhere for him. The store itself looked a bit.. sad really. Like someone had kind of ransacked it. And the clerks… sad too. Just over it. If Solia could heal with hugs she would really.
Still, the TV section. Jason handing her a spare copy of the ad, She waved him goodbye, Sayaka as well. Finding one clerk, (well trapping them in an aisle really), she smiled as they began to berate Mark’s choice of TV. Solia however, could only take so much before she couldn’t deal with it anymore.
“Excuse me, but the only retarded thing I have encountered is you; as while not lacking in mental capacity, you are impeding the progress of my mission. Perhaps you out to consider to not use derogatory slurs towards your potential customers and you’d make more sales and get things done quicker but that seems to not be your goal this day. I wish you luck in your future attempts to make a sale because you certainly have not made one with me. Good day.”
Smile and walk away. She didn’t want to deal with dicks, (she had enough in her life already).

Solia kept looking for someone to help her she managed to find another clerk… who looked like they had not only lost their home in a fire, but their puppy had been kicked after their dreams had been crushed. She spent a good while listening to their tales of woe and before she knew it, Solia was nodding her head and patting their back, offering up a one armed hug as she stood by them.
“Its okay, I’m sure things will get better, you’ll see!” She was trying to be encouraging, but… this kicked puppy salesclerk might just be beyond her help.

"Psssst."
If the trio looked around, they would notice a rather shady figure, still in a Best Buy uniform, with a baseball cap tilted downwards. Was it their imagination or did they for a second have a tail - nah that was their imagination. Totally.
"I heard you're looking for that uh, special package." They nodded, a little too eagerly. "Come with me."
The figure didn't wait for a response, instead, leading the trainees down a merry chase through several empty doors all marked DO NOT ENTER and DO NOT ENTER AT ALL COSTS. At last, through the final door, they arrived at a room, a glowing room that was-
- Full of boxes. Lots, and lots of boxes.
"There you are!" The figure pulled out a larger box. The box wriggled, and then squirmed a little. "The special package."
The box began to smoke.

Catching up with Sayaka and Solia, Jason was at a loss for what to do. It seemed that most of the sales clerks wanted nothing to do with them. Perhaps it would be best if they just looked around themselves...
'psst'
The sudden noise caught his attention quickly. He turned around, and had to blink twice. Did he just see...n-no, no he didn't. He was just tired thats all. Being at Deus Ex for so long just made him see monsters everywhere.
"Y-yeah, we're looking for the uh...special package" He replied, now feeling like he was picking up a drug package instead of a Plasma TV. He still followed the clerk, becoming increasingly worried as every door they walked through held messes of "DO NOT ENTER' where were they going?
When he arrived in the glowing room filled with boxes, his eyes went wide. They went even widen when he saw the....moving...smoking...box.
Oh god what hey they gotten into?!
"....W-whats in the b-box?" He asked with a shaky voice. Because it sure wasn't any TV

Solia frowned as the clerks gravitated away from her. She was trying to be nice. Trying… maybe she wasn’t trying hard enough. Or she just kind of gave up with that one guy. Either way, she was lacking in help. As she met up with Jason and Sayaka, it didn’t seem like they had any luck. What they did get however was a whisper hint of psssst. Solia kind of trusted pssssts. Totally legit secrets to be shared with a psssst. The guy had a baseball cap and- nah. Nope. Wearing a tail to work would probably be against dress code. They might have been hiding it. It wasn’t her business to deal with otherkin. She wasn’t into that scene. Led to the glowing room of boxes, she was guessing this guy was totally otherkin and this was now just their crazy glow paint place where they talked about their true selves or some other crazy bull. As the guy grabbed the special package Solia tilted her head at it’s wiggling. Jason’s question did make her giggle. “Well, it’s not the head of your wife. Because I know you didn’t have one of those.” A slow look. “Unless you did. But never saw a TV that wiggled.” She looked at Jason then Sayaka. “Hey Sayaka, he should open it, he’s the moon right? Jason you should open it.” Solia was smiling. Because having the guy open the box seemed like a good idea. Sort of.

"Actually, not opening it at all sounds like a better idea." Saya said weakly, not wanting to push it all off onto Jason. Actually, the overriding reason was that she really didn't think it was a good idea to open a box that was smoking. Especially considering all the signs on the way here, that made Saya nervous as a newborn puppy, inching away.
She turned to look for the mysterious clerk figure instead, speaking as she turned. Was he still there?
"Are you sure there isn't another special package sir--"

Even if Jason had no wife, the notion of the idea sent chills down the moon trainees spine, as he really didn't want to deal with a human head at the moment. All he wanted was the TV so they could leave. Though when the suggestion to open the box sprung up, (more importantly, the suggestion for him to open it up), he gulped. Jason really didn't want to open the box, because he just knew something was going to jump out at him. Something like that black dragon from harry potter. "I d-don't think that it would be a good idea...." He said slowly while Sayaka began questioning the clerk.
'Yes, we have established this fact, but theres no way I'm opening the box' he huffed in his head.
'....'
Stone faced, Jason stepped up to the clerk holding the box. He reached out one hand, pausing as he gathered his courage, and then tried to open one lid to see what was inside. Because god be dammed if he was going to let the girls be in danger instead of him.

The clerk looked at them a little funny, and then his impossibly glowing yellow eyes narrowed into slits. A forked tongue seemed to flicker out from his hood. "You guys are here for THE package right? The orders of flesh-eating puppies?"
While the mood was ominous and the box a little more ominous still - was it their imagination or was the box shuffling a little bit on its own and smoking a deep black - flesh eating puppies somehow seemed a little less intimidating. A little less. If one got over the fact that generally speaking in a normal Human's life span, there generally wasn't such a thing as flesh eating puppies.
Meanwhile Mark was wondering what was taking them so long and if they really went into the right portal location.
