The Devil's Nest, Saturday, 11/12
When Bo had woken up today, she found a note by her bed that said Get to work early today to help Tiny with inventory. She didn't entirely remember writing it -- she must've been really tired last night -- but it was in her own handwriting, so it must be true. She had a job!
Which she even managed to find, after a few hours of exploring her room looking for an address. And cartoons. And Froot Loops. And more cartoons. And a walk through town that wouldn't have taken nearly as long, even for seven-year-old feet in blue and white Keds, if everything hadn't been so distracting. Five o'clock was still early, right?
That was what she asked Tiny when she got there. Bo thought Who the hell are you was a totally inappropriate reply, and not just because of the bad word.
"I'm Bo, silly. I'm here early to help you with the inventory. What are we gonna invent?"
Apparently they were going to invent drink specials. At least that was what Tiny said after he finished hitting his face with his hand.
Visitors would find the usual specials board replaced with one made of construction paper, glitter, rainbow stickers and smelly fruit markers. It had a lot of blank space for adding new stuff -- or more glitter, not that there was much left after the incident with Tiny's hair -- but it started like this:
Specials
Choclate bananana milk: 50 cents
Strawberry pinapple milk: 55 cents
Cherry milk shake with cherrys and cherry icecream and choclate and bananana: 75 cents
Piggieback Rides: 85 cents plus TIP
Help us with inventory! Make up a new drink, get it freeee!

She'd had to talk Tiny down from a dollar for the piggieback rides, which was just ridiculous.
