meanwhile at the shitty fabric store.......

[stealinghats]

Who: Victor and Julia
What: gee it sure is boring around here
Where: Fabric Kingdom
When: Backdated slightly to the 19th, deadest hour of the night
Why: can't i find a log form i swear to god there was one...
Warnings: Linda.

It was 8pm on a Friday, and absolutely no one was going to Fabric Kingdom. They were all busy having real lives and doing things that didn't involve buying fabric, because seriously, who goes out on a Friday night to buy fabric? This was a fact everyone was fully aware of. Still, someone had to count the cashes, and someone had to sort through all the shit people threw on the floor. Victor and Julia were these people.

Except Victor was being a useless piece of shit, mostly. Not that this was ever a new thing. He alternated between playing shitty games on his phone and rambling on and on and on about his day, depending on whether Julia happened to be within earshot and if he had something to complain about (so, basically all the time).

"—so when that didn't work I thought I'd try something a little easier, and I'm pretty sure any animal can learn 'come!' with a bit of encouragement," he rambled as played the shitty cellphone version of Tetris, which was exactly the same as normal Tetris. "I think that was... two, three hours? God, it might as well have been the whole damn day for all the good it did. I swear, these bats are brain damaged or something. Maybe it'll take another 'echo' for them to regain basic animal intelligence—damnit, why don't I even get line blocks when I need them?!"

He tapped the buttons on his phone furiously. Victor was really bad at Tetris.

Julia is on a cleaning mission. She is a one-man tank/healer/dps combo, and she is going to obliterate the shit out of any fabric, dust, or general disorganization. She has achieved all the levels, ascended to glory, come back down from glory to do Victor's job for him, and then ascended again. That's her daily routine, honestly.

"Patience, friend. Man must have patience-- in bats and in Tetris." Wise words from a woman with one earbud in with this on repeat for the past week-- it's probably some Nazi song, but despite her (and every German's) aversion to Nazism, it makes her feel feelings, and she doesn't know what they are. Her other ear is full of Victor's bitching, but hey, what else is new?

"Have you tried rewards of food? That makes dogs have obedience."

He spends a few more seconds trying desperately to fix his collection of towering blocks, but alas, there is nowhere for this line block to go. It is now two spaces away from touching the top, right in the middle, and he hates himself. There's no way he's going to fix this.

Exit, abandon game, pretend that never happened. Go time #54.

"I would, but I'm not entirely sure what to offer. I don't think they're fruit bats. Should I get petstore crickets or something? Would they eat that?"

He pauses, letting a square block drop slowly to the bottom of his tower.

"...Maybe spiders? I've noticed a distinct lack of spiders since the infestation began. Not that I'm complaining about that part." Hmm hmm hmmmmmm.

"You can use the Google to find what the bats would like to eat, correct?"

She's a lady on a furious task-- for the past few months, she's been trying to organize the store by fabric type and color, as opposed to the disorganized hodgepodge of bullshit and merchandise that she found when she first started working here. Today, she's working with the silks.

"Have you find what species they is?"
