Seven Eleven
It inevitably happened that Chel needed a job. It also inevitably happened that Chel had no marketable skills (except being able to rap Nikki Minaj verses, which was a very important skill) or if she did she didn't know how to write them onto a resume.
Still, it wasn't that hard to land a job at her local convenience store. An extra bonus that she was especially willing to work graveyard shifts (she had a hard time sleeping anyways).
So it came to be that your local Seven Eleven cashier position was now filled by one Chelsea Craft.Quote: This is an ORP for anyone who wants to visit the 7-11 and interact with Chel or the store itself. Please put the TIME at the top of your post in bold. You're welcome to visit at the same time as other players. It's a store so anyone can walk in at any moment!

Seven Eleven – Saturday, 2:34 pmIt was unusual to see Jamie sans Shiloh walking into the 7/11, but since he'd been introduced to the fabled icee, sometimes cravings hit without warning. If Shiloh didn't text him back fast enough, well, Jamie went on his own. In the event he did get a text back, he'd invite him straight to the store instead. Even Jamie could be impatient sometimes.
This particular store was a familiar haunt and the walk from the door to the icee machine was one he'd taken many times before. This time, though, his trek was interrupted by the realization that something was different, that the counter had been taken over by someone he didn't recognize. Her hair was like a sunset, and for a moment Jamie was jealous of how nice it looked, but he sure was quick to shoo those weird thoughts away.
"H-Hello," he bumbled before he could stop himself. When had he ever greeted a cashier before? Basically never. Now he was embarrassed. Without even waiting for a response, he scuttled over to the icee machine.

Chel had been checking her nails for the twenty-thousandth time today so she was obviously Very Busy. When Jamie came in she made no attempt to hide how bored she was.
"Hi," she responded back, "'Sup with you?" He looked a little young. She wondered if he was one of those high school kids ditching class to go get an icee. If so, Chel approved.

Saturday, 2:34 pmOf course he didn't get off scot-free, that would've been too easy. Life had never been so kind to one Jamie Delacroix. Or maybe he was being way, way too dramatic. Yeah, that was probably it.
"Not much," he replied robotically, surprising even himself with his lack of stutter. Not that it didn't come right back. "Just, um... g-getting an icee." He grabbed a small cup even though he'd wanted a medium and began awkwardly filling it with blue, eyes never venturing from the goal.

Chel raised an eyebrow and then leaned back down on the counter. "Let me know f'you need anythin'."
Should she tell him the blue one tasted the worst? No he could figure out for himself.

Seven Eleven – Tuesday, 10:56 amIt was a run from his home to the store. No a run in the sense he had something to get, but a run as in he'd actually run from his house to the 7-11. It wasn't his intended location but it was open and he was hungry and his bike was ready for pick up in roughly an hour. A slurpee sounded good provided it was properly frozen and didn't have that strange metallic taste that some 7-11s had plus he could have a bastardized hot pocket. Also good though not as good as the actual thing. Which was always strange and it had him thinking to himself as he looked at the nacho cheese dispenser and debating how that would taste on the wannnabe hotpocket. Setting his slurpee down, (he'd mixed cola and pina colada flavors), Marcus pulled out a pocket EMF detector. A dull clicking began and Marcus looked at the woman behind the counter and walked up to her, the beeping emf detector in hand. "Excuse me, but, do you have any strong magnets?"

Saturday, 2:34 pmMaybe Chel would be surprised to learn, but the blue ones were his favorite, and he'd been instructed by Shiloh to avoid the red ones at all costs.
"I-I will, thanks...." Never before had he felt such pressure when all he wanted to do was buy an icee. Jamie was the type to blow things out of proportion, though. All it really took was one misstep to send him absolutely spiraling and that was something he truly hated about himself. Just one thing on a laundry list of them.
It would be okay, though, he could do this. Except as soon as Jamie turned around, he tripped over his own feet, dropping his small icee in the process. The cup hit the ground and the lid exploded off with a pop as the fallen soldier's frozen guts spilled out all over the convenience store battlefield. Jamie was absolutely one hundred and ten percent mortified.
"I-I-I-I'm so sorry... I.... I'm so-"

Chel had actually been on her cell phone and was tucking it into her pocket when he approached. Certainly not the most reliable employee to ask.
"Uhhh." Seeing as she was new here, she didn't know the entire inventory of the store yet. "F'we do it'd be on that wall over there," she said, pointing to an aisle with all the miscellaneous, non-food items the store had. Duct tape, batteries and toilet brushes all found their home in that aisle, so why not magnets?

Chel snorted as the entire thing occurred. She wasn't bothered that she had to clean it up (in fact she was a little grateful because it was something to do) but she was more focused on how hilarious this guy was being. His face was well worth any mopping she'd have to do.
"Naw don't sweat it pipsqueak. People do that s**t all the time," she told him, already moving towards the back closet. "You can get another one f'you want. I'll ring you up and clean this s**t up on yer way out."

Shun needed to pick up a couple things quickly after what had been a relatively long shift at the police department. After parking outside, he made his way in, giving pause once he saw who was behind the counter. Oh right. She mentioned she had a job now. Grunting lowly, he just brushed on to the fridges to grab a bottle of milk. After that, he looked around, checking to see if there was anything else he needed.

Saturday, 2:34 pmIt was probably a good thing Jamie was too distracted by his own misery to hear that slight almost-laugh, because boy, he would've taken it hard. Not that he wasn't already taking the situation hard. While it definitely wasn't the end of the world, and by Chel's own admission he wasn't even close to the only one who'd done it, Jamie still felt like the biggest fool.
"O-Okay..." he blubbered, immediately turning back towards the icee machine in an attempt to hide from her. Making eye contact was completely out of the question, because Jamie was pretty sure he'd lose it if he did. "T-Thanks... I, um... I'm still... r-really sorry..."
This time when he filled up a cup it was a medium, like he'd originally planned. What he really needed to drown out his sorrows was a large, but he showed some self-control, at least.
Thankfully, he made it to the counter this time while looking very poignantly at his feet, and delicately set down his cup.

Sunday 11 amThe town was a lot quieter Sunday in the morning than Cas had expected, before he realized that there must be a good number of people at church just then. Instead of driving the half hour into Boston to row like they usually did, he and Rylan had hit up Ashdown Boat Club and taken out a pair for two hours while the city slowly awoke. Then a lift. Now, at 11 and on his way back to the house, Cas remembered a few things he'd found himself missing and slipped into the 7-11 conveniently around the corner from the gym. Shaving cream, salt and pepper chips, a gallon of milk, a slurpee... And then, finally, as he piled the items onto the checkout counter, he added. "Hey there. You guys don't happen to carry Crown condoms, do you...?" The smile was very much unabashed.

"So s'this the part where I pretend not t'know you or what?"
Chel had been very focused flicking some of the lighters off and on at the counter. A productive day of arguing with an Indian man and dealing with a kid with a stray bouncy ball had left her feeling very listless actually. What was normally a ball of directionless energy had now been life-sucked out by a 7-11.

Chel assessed the situation for a moment, took a deep breath and shook her head. She knew what it was like to be in that position, even if her lackadaisical exterior didn't allow her to act the same.
"You wanna help clean it up?" she asked. Maybe unorthodox (especially for the worker that was supposed to insist the customer was Always Right), but Chel was unorthodox as it got. "That way yer payin' yer dues and s**t?"

"If it is, you are doing a terrible job of it," Shun mumbled as he looked over one of the shelves with consideration. He picked up a small thing of Tylenol, then headed towards the counter, snatching a bag of trail mix on the way.
Once there, he set the three items down, then raised his brow at Chel.
"You look like s**t."
