Makita hadn't bothered to come in last Monday; she'd been too busy running complex-pattern patrols of the island, to make sure every last freak-creature was well and truly gone. She didn't think Jenny would mind ( Read more... )

Another week, another Monday, and another shift at Pixie Dust for Makita.

Today she had a mixology book behind the counter, trying to figure out what sort of fun drinks she could make with vodka. It had nothing to do with retail, but she figured her roommate would approve.

There was no trying on of pretty (but impractical outfits today), or even any burning the ugly things. Today, Makita was behind the counter, drinking directly from the bottle of vodka and wishing she was back in Nokgorka. At least things there made sensePixie Dust was open, but if you mention eggs or frying pans, you may get the register chucked ( Read more... )

After a week in the Bahamas, Makita was a little more open to the swimsuits that could be found throughout the store. Maybe they weren't completely ridiculous after all ( Read more... )

Makita liked her hat and oversize boots, but a few pairs of pants and some new ( Read more... )

During the night, Fandom had been covered in a blanket of fresh snow that was just thick enough to turn everything crisp and white. With cream-colored decorations and twinkling lights, the Student Council had aimed for a winter wonderland kind of theme, and the snow simply added to the effect. Thankfully, the day was turning out to be warmer, so ( Read more... )

The snow and cold of the last few days didn't really bother Makita; she was Nokgorkan. Snow was part of the national heritage.

The lack of heat, however, she could do without, so she was glad to be in the store today. Warm, dry, and selecting ugly things to burn. She wanted to get a good bonfire going in case the power went out again.

It was Makita's first day at work, and she was determined to get it right.

So she unlocked the door, flipped the sign to open, and poured herself a vodka and put her feet up on the counter.

Pixie Dust was open, but your sales girl doesn't know a thing about fashion, nor does she care.
