All and Sundries, 7/31

Jul 31, 2006 11:49

After a successful morning class, Edmund decided to go celebrate by being nowhere near the school's brats or the freshly "bathed" Baldrick.

He left Baldrick in charge and strolled off toward the causeway whistling a jaunty (and if one were familiar with early 19th century music, quite obscene) tune.

Baldrick was there, despite feeling horribly ( Read more... )

Jane figured she better stop by this store place at some point to discuss the particulars of her employment.

And?

She was out of booze and out of money.

"Hey there Baldrick, this Blackadder fella you're always on about around?"

Baldrick pulled his sleeve down to cover his unfortunate cleanliness and shook his head. "'ello, Jane. Mr. Blackadder went for a walk. Are you ready to start work?"

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 19:12:00 UTC

"Aw that's to bad, but if ya got stuff for me to do then I suppose it's a good thing I'm more or less sober." She said taking off her hat and looking around.

Baldrick shook his head. "Not today. Mr. B had a class in here today and everything's still all tidy. Do you want to come back tomorrow and mind the store? I'll keep you company and show you where to find things."

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 19:36:57 UTC

"Yeah, I could do." she said rubbing the back of her neck. "So... Um. When and how much do I get paid?"

Baldrick had heard Edmund complaining roundly about how much he had to pay Seras, so he named the same sum to Jane. It was on the low side for modern wages, but sounded like a fortune to him.

"If you need something, you can take it now, and I can tell Mr. B if I remember, which I won't to take it out of your wages when you get paid."

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 19:46:36 UTC

"Well that sounds a good deal to me Baldrick." she said smiling.

blackadder_nth July 31 2006, 19:58:20 UTC

Baldrick beamed at her. "Where do you want to start? You can't go wrong with a good turnip."

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 20:16:23 UTC

"Well, I was thinking about picking up a bottle of something, but I suppose turnips are good too."

blackadder_nth July 31 2006, 20:18:55 UTC

"The whiskey's over there," Baldrick pointed in the right general direction. "I'll go pick you a couple of turnips special."

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 20:32:05 UTC

This Baldrick guy is good folk.

"Lookin' forward to 'em." she said wandering down in the direction he pointed and didn't start glancing at the items on the shelves until she was halfway there.

Jane was awfully nice, too.

Baldrick picked two choice turnips - nay, not choice, prize turnips - and went to find Jane, holding them reverently.

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 20:41:45 UTC

Jane has slowed to a stop and is staring down at a particular section of shelving.

"Baldrick?" she says as he approaches, pointing at the items on the shelves. "... What the fuck is all this?"

blackadder_nth July 31 2006, 20:46:25 UTC

Baldrick looked down at the row of lava lamps and silly putty and shrugged. "'M'not really sure, Jane, but people buys 'em, so we sell 'em."

courtincalamity July 31 2006, 20:52:27 UTC

Jane picked up a lava lamp and examined it.

"Is it some kinda drink?" she asked turning it this way and that.

Then the "lava" came into view.

"Holy shit Baldrick! I think this one's gone bad!"

blackadder_nth July 31 2006, 20:58:54 UTC

Baldrick peered at the stuff floating in the liquid and shrugged. "Maybe they eat it?"
