[Halloween!]

[Solidus takes a break from the timeline to head to the basement. He didn't have any money, but he's excited to see the costumes and candy!]

[Drebin is present, though somewhat hidden as a result of the obnoxiously bright-red NARC™ Cola machine nearby the entrance on the left wall. He's busy stocking the device with holiday theme flavoured sodas. High caffeinated, of course. However, the "whisking" noise of the large elevator and classic entry chime notified him of a potential customer.]

Hey, welcome. Go 'head and look around. I'm just finishing up here, if you need any help.

[He blinks at the voice, but his ears pick up the sounds of things being put away like at the grocery store. He rightly figures it must be someone working.]

Okay! Thank you, Mister!

[And off he goes, looking at all the super-spooky decorations and staring wide-eyed at the themed treats.]

[Not to long later, the boy returns.]

Uh, 'Scuse me?

I'll take a box of candy corn.

No problem, but ... uh...

[#893 sat down a small handheld PDA-like device, and walked over toward the crate at his immediate right. It was absolutely *filled* with boxes of NEKAL™-brand Candy Corn. As he snagged a box for the customer, grimaced in mentally recalling the taste of these things.]

You do know the origin behind these things, eh?

...No.

[John steps closer to get the box.]

Why do you ask?

Well, I'm not totally a believe of this one, but -- they say this stuff doesn't spoil or stale. So a lot of companies in the past used to "push" their old & unsold stock to sell each year.

[Hands him a box. Then one extra. Maybe two. Yeah. We'll go with a total of six instead of the initially requested single box. It's Classic DREBIN magicwitchcraft at its finest.]

[That announcement sounds familiar... It's been a long time since he's seen the man in the basement. Null makes his way down and approaches Drebin with the same sense of caution he often does. Though the man has never shown himself to be a threat, when someone carries this many firearms within arms reach, one can never be too careful.]

There is a type of confection I am seeking.... Perhaps you will be able to accommodate me.

[Tips a curious eyebrow at the young man. Were people trying out costumes already? And if so, was "ninja" the hit theme again this year?]

I'm pretty sure I can. We've got a pretty huge selection of stuff from that crazy NEKAL company. Chocolates, mints, and all that mess.
Do you know the name of the candy or what it looks like?

[Ninja is a hit theme every day here in the Nexus. We got so many ninjas, we've begun manufacuring emo cyborg ones.]

It is a confection that remains far too sweet for my liking and resembles that of a small, flattened peach.

I think we have that. Though if I recall correct, there's two varieties -- sweet or sour.

[A woman approaches, dragging something large and unwieldy behind her.]

...I need you to fix something for me. Whatever the cost.

[Grace eyes their surroundings with suspicion, before hefting the large black trash bag onto Drebin's desk. It smells faintly of seawater and peanut butter.]

[Just as he was about to grin and accept the offer -- the sudden drop and wafted stank air brought about a gagged wince.]

...if it's what I think it is, this is seriously gonna cost ya, lady.

just_a_tuna October 4 2010, 03:01:47 UTC
It's a giant fake tuna.

[Obviously.]

Can you fix it or not? There's a rip and it leaks.

[This is serious business Drebin!]

drebin893 October 4 2010, 03:06:37 UTC
So why does it smell like dumpster juice and baby diapers?

[Oh no wait, you're the Drebin that's not a good idea to steal from, nevermind.]

[blink. Awkward silent moment.]
