Yayaz
Yayaz is one of the biggest Gaming stores within ForestLake mall! It not only sells some of the best selling games, but it also has some of the oldest consoles! They even have a few Actual Arcade stands for sell too in the backroom! Imports from other countries? They got them too XD. Getting that game has never been easier with their helpful workers and quick services! Just try not to get lost from all the rows and rows of games stacked up on multiple shelves ^^;;
Summer Job Event
WinterFault and ~abmsportsgirl~ will be working at this thread.

Fault skittered through the mall swiftly, looking at her little map of the shop she had been allocated to work at. Level 3 was going to involve the stairs anyway so she treked up two flights to find herself next to an imdoor palm tree in a planter. Reading her map she found that the shop she was working in was right ahead of the stairs. Tucking her map away in her shoulder bag, (she didnt want to been seen using a map to find the shop she had to work in ) She walked through the door where she found herslef in a beeping, flashing technicolour paradise.
Hundereds of games on shelves and lots consoles, Fault had never even played a video game in her life. This worried her, if she knew nothing she was going to have to learn to like them, or learn to bluff...really fast. They don't look too bad she though as she absentmindedly picked up a box for one of the games to read it.
'Total Bear-fight 5' - Big bears = Big Fights, The number 1 best selling Bear-based beat-em-up is back with more teeth and claws and its not holding back!. Play as Brown Bear, Black Bear or Panda Bear and now Polar Bear!. Rumble feature - Feel the might of 1000 pounds of unstoppable grizzly force!'
Okay so mabye for some of the games would be hard to appreciate their appeal.

As Fia wandered around the mall aimlessly, she heard a little nagging voice in her head. She knew she was forgetting something, but she wasn't quite sure what it was...although her forgetfulness could have been caused by the fact that she had eaten too much for breakfast, again!
Chewing on her bottom lip thoughtfully, she passed by a pharmacy, a pizza stand, and a clothes shop. Finally, as she passed a window display of video games in a department store, her memory came back in a flash.
Oh my goodness, I have a job to do!!!
Fia let out a loud shriek, causing quite a few heads to turn in her direction. However, she didn't notice them at all. She was too busy running at a dead sprint, bowling over unsuspecting browsers around the mall. She didn't even know where she was supposed to go, but if you're running around as fast as you can all over the place, you're bound to find the right place soon!
Hmmm, no, no, no, no, wait...no, no, no, no, YES!
Stumbling to a hasty stop, Fia glanced up at the flashing "Yayaz" sign. Gosh it was pretty! She took a deep breath and tried to walk in calmly. It was harder than she thought...
Darn, I'm late. Oh, who's that?
Fia noticed another girl, Fault, browsing through the games. She was looking at a game with BEARS. Who liked bear games? With a shake of her head, she smoothed down her uniform's skirt, and quietly moved over to the more exciting games, the RPG games! There was Final Fantasy 2,000, or whatever number they were on. She picked it up, but distractedly set it back down when she noticed a much simpler game further down the aisle.
"Ooh, it's Mario! And over here, it's PacMan! I play these all the time!"
As she got all excited, she started to jump up and down, but then her hair ribbon came out! Halting her enthusiasm, she picked it up from the ground, shook it out, and tied it back on under her cap. Then she took out her hand mirror and looked at her outfit with pride.
Wearing a crisp, freshly-ironed buttoned white shirt, a simple navy blue tie, and a matching navy pleated skirt, the uniform appeared to be a school outfit. However, on each of her wrists was a wristband with Yayaz's flashy logo on it. On her head was a navy baseball cap with Yayaz written on it in hot pink.

'Ooh, it's Mario! And over here, it's PacMan! I play these all the time!'
Fault heard someone else over the other side of the store shrieking with delight about somthing, she put down the odd bear themes game on the shelf to go and investigate what could be so exciting it caused such delighted squeaks.
She noticed it was another girl from Ria 'Hey she must be here on the job placement too then right?' she was standing and looking at a Mario game in one hand while watching a Pac-man demo running on an arcade machine.
Fault stared at the bright yellow blob munching shape for some time, before realising she was drifting away.
Fault looked back at the shelves, there were SO MANY of these games, she hoped she diddnt have to remember them all. The thought of such a gigantic task made faults head spin.
'Hey there I'm Fault, Are you here too on the Job placement from Ria?'
Fault thought she may as well make friends as it would be a LOT more enjoyable to have someone to talk to to make time fly faster while working, plus, friends are always a good thing.

Yep! I'm here to make some money so I can help people...and then, when I earn some credit, I can get a pet to take care of!
Overjoyed at finding that the person working with her was friendly, Fia poked fiercely at the Pacman, accidentally causing herself to be caught by the jaw guy...
Aw...Well anyway, hi! I'm Fia! So, we're going to be working together, huh?
Giving Fault the once-over, she stared at her openly...Hmmm, she looked nice, and maybe they'd be able to have some fun playing these games while working! With a silly grin, she grabbed a two-player game.
Hey, would you like to play me? A game's always a good way to break the ice!
Then Fia actually looked at the game, and noticed that it was a hunting game...that meant killing poor little animals! Shoving it back on the shelf with wide eyes, she searched diligently for a better game.
Here we are! Another Mario game! Do you want to be Louigi, or Mario?

'Here we are! Another Mario game! Do you want to be Louigi, or Mario?'
'I have to warn you, im not very good at video games...in fact ive never actually played one before'
she said this slightly whispering, she diddnt want her manager-to-be to have possibly overheard this.
Fault looked at the game Fia picked up and had no idea which charcacter was which, she saw that they wore different colour clothes though. Fault pointed on the box to the character in green, she prefered green.
'Ill be this character, which ones this one?'
Fault liked Fia, she was cheerful and lively, she could tell working here was going to be a great time. Fia wanted a pet, a pet sounded like a fun idea and could see Fia was kindhearted enough to know she could look after a pet. Fault knew she herself would not be responsible enough to look after a pet, she would forget to walk it, or let it get pregnant and have hundreds of babies that Fault couldnt find homes for or afford to keep or let it get fat or somthing awful. Also if it died she would be distraught. So Fault wouldnt be getting a pet with her money, at least at the moment thats the way it looked.
This made Fault think, 'What would i do with the money ill be earning...that is if i dont get fired for bieng absolutely useless at selling games or not knowing anything about them at all'
While Fault was thinking Fia was getting the game out of the box carefully.

Hmmm, you've never played before? That's ok, this just means that we'll be able to play a lot more games!
Following Fault's lead, Fia talked in a low, quiet voice. Working diligently, she finally got the game out of the box, and hooked up another one to it.
Ok, um, first, you should switch on the power. You can use the controls on the front to move around the game. It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it! And oh yeah, don't touch the crabs or anything!
With one quick look around to make sure that there were no waiting customers, Fia switched on her game and got ready to play. Excited to get started, she started to rock back and forth on her feet.
Oh wait! Shouldn't we be meeting our boss our something? I mean, if he walks in and sees us playing a game, won't he be a little mad?

Fault looked towards the door, she was right...where was thier boss? The shop was open, so who opened it? Odd....Fault began to look behind the counter for any signs of life.
'Yeah mabye we should put the game on hold till we find out what it is we are doing here.'
She ruffled her hair slightly anxious, what if they were supposed to run the shop alone.that was bound to go badly for Fault. How would she know what to do....mabye Fia knew?.
'Soo.... do you think we just run this place ourselves then because i can see the two in the sweet shop on the floor downstairs and the two down in HT and they seem to be running the shops themselves. Do you think we just get checked on from time to time?'

That sounded like a good idea to Fia. They'd just run the shop as well as they could, and maybe that would make a good impression on the boss when he came.
That sounds good! But...we have no customers or anything...oh, why don't we change the sign to "Open?"
Feeling rather sheepish, Fia grabbed the plastic sign and flipped it so that the "Closed" side faced her.
There we go! Now I think I'll go check in the back in case our boss left any instructions for us...he might even be back there!

Sayomi knew very well that she should register at the school before doing anything else. But after learning that there was a mall near campus, she could care less about school. After taking a quick self-tour of the mall, she went back to check out the video game store: Yayaz.
She figured she would get a new system and a couple of games for her dorm room. The first section she went to was filled with different consoles. She would have to choose wisely which one she would get first.

Yay, a customer!
Fia ran over to where she had heard the bell jingle, skipping enthusiastically.
Welcome to Yayaz! May I help you find the game or games that you are looking for?

Sayomi turned towards the clerk coming in her direction.
"Yea, I'm just starting at the school... actually I haven't even signed in yet." Sayomi laughed. "I was wondering, which console would you recommend? I'd like some entertainment for my dorm room when I get one."

Well, first of all, welcome to Gaia! Secondly, I'd recommend the X-Box 360 if you have enough money. If not, I think you should get a PS2. I have one myself, and it works well enough!
Fia smiled, happy to help this first customer. But where was Fault? She probably had some good ideas to share!

Sayomi took a moment to weigh her options. From the looks of things, it did seem that Sony's product had more to offer as far as the selection of games. She decided to go with the PS2 since she was only given a limited amount to spend before she was given her care package from home. "I'll go with the PS2. I've been wanting to play the Xenosaga episodes for some time now. I think I'll go ahead and get both of them. Where can I find the RPGs?"

"Good choice! The RPG games are right over here." Fia led the customer over to the right aisle. "I'm going to go get the PS2. You can browse around here, and I'll be right back!"
Fia walked over to the back and opened the door labeled "Consoles." She opened the door and walked inside, peering around the dusty interior. "Aha!" Grabbing the PS2 box, she came back up front and brought it to the register. Leaving it there, she went back to check on the customer.
"So, did you find what you wanted?"
