====================================

Connor Reilly was happy to have a job now. It had been relatively simple to get. It was easy, Claire had just hired him right there on the spot while having a network discussion. Probably would have been more difficult if he had to go about it the usual way. He had no references, no ID except for the driver license in his wallet, not to mention you couldn't call up the past workplaces for information. So this was definitely very fortunate. He'd adapted quite well to it, paying attention to when Claire showed him the ropes. It took him a little while but Connor eventually got the hang of it. He could now start making money again. Probably even save up enough to buy what he needed or wanted. Maybe some music, movies, a few video games. And perhaps some workout equipment to throw in there too. It wasn't a career by any means, but at least it was something substantial to do until he graduated next year.

He had already been working into the first hour into his nightly shift. The young man had managed to sort and restock the Comedy section and was now heading for the Action department. He shook his head briefly when he noticed one of the titles out of place, alphabetically out of order with the others, so he had amended the error. Honestly, what was up with that? Shouldn't be that hard. If one is looking at a movie to rent, and then disinterested in it, at least have the courtesy to set it back at the proper place on the shelf. Not right in front of a movie that's already there. But it wasn't a real problem. Just one of those little things that are annoying at times when it happens. And besides, it was very easily fixed. Once done, he pulled his cart to the next selection of action titles and proceeded to stock them. Though he couldn't help but think as he saw a few covers, that he could rent a couple of them himself once he went on his lunch break.

Randal had been mildly insulted when Claire had insinuated (okay, she'd said it out right, but whatever) that he wasn't to be trusted with the relatively simple task of taking an inventory. As if he'd never done that kind of bitch work before. Yeah, he avoided it and did a shitty job so he wouldn't have to do it again, but he was theoretically capable of such a task.

Whatever. Like he'd told Claire on the network, if she wanted to waste her money hiring someone else to do that kind of bitch work, it was up to her.

The kid Claire had hired was working the late late shift, which meant that Randal, lucky him, got to babysit him for a couple of hours. He was spending that time sitting at the front counter with his feet up on the desk, perusing a catalog of "adults only" videos. He had a decent enough collection of them in the store when he'd been there before, and they were all mysteriously gone now.

"Hey kid!" he called out to the kid doing the inventory. "What sounds like a better flick to you? Fresh Shaved Teens 30 or Slutty Little Bitches 3?"

Connor mentally debating how to answer him. He recognized the man from his network posts.. quite colorful, indeed. This is going to be a long night, he thought to himself. He didn't know any of the titles, but he had a pretty good idea that it was obviously porn. Not that he had any against it, mind you. He had seen a couple now and then. But not very often. Only the rare occasion when one of his friends invited him over and if said friend had cable. He guessed that if anyone had a camera running during that time they were all infected with lust water a while back, there would probably be quite a few movies. He was thankful that there wasn't. Far as he knew, at least. He probably wouldn't even want to know if there were any, really. Well.. maybe just for his part in it but nothing else. And tucked away in a secret place where no one else could get to it.

After sliding another title on to the shelf, he turned around then after thinking about the question. He honestly didn't think either mattered. Porn was porn, yes? No one really watched those kind of films for the acting skill or plot development. "I'd go with.. the Slutty Bitches 3. It sounds newer than the other one. Might be better." He paused, a thought occurring to him then. "Do we even carry those? I haven't come across them from inventory the night before.. unless they're tucked away somewhere else." Connor also wondered if he was going to regret asking it, but he did anyway, "Have you seen both of those before?" He was guessing that the other guy probably did see them, as well as the sequels. He just thought it a good idea to ask before assuming first. And it wasn't like he had anyone else around now to talk to, so this could be a good way to pass the time while he worked.. maybe.

Randal smirked as he wrote down the title on a pad of paper. It was a list he was going to give to Claire the next time he saw her... Knowing Claire, all his good titles were in a box somewhere getting dusty, if she hadn't trashed them outright.

"The only problem with new series' like Slutty Bitches is that even after the third or fourth or even fifth flick, they're still working out the kinks." Heh. Kinks. "By the time you hit the thirtieth sequel in any series, you should fuckin' know what you're doin' by then."

He stifled a yawn and took a drink of the plain black coffee he'd brewed earlier that evening. It tasted a little like the sludge that Dante used to sell at the Quick Stop.

"I have enjoyed titles from both these series, yes." Like it was some sort of secret that Randal choked his own chicken. "I prefer Fresh Shaved Teens. Slutty Bitches 1 showed way too much dude brown eye for me to be comfortable tugging one out to it."

Standing, Randal left the chair and moved to the small rack of "concessions", mainly candy and microwave popcorn. He pulled a bag of candy orange slices free and opened it, popping one into his mouth before retaking his seat. "Barbie said I could have two rows at the back to stock the seedier titles. I'll have to ask her if she considers Roger Corman flicks seedy. I'm personally offended that I can't easily rent Caged Heat."

"Well, I'd hope they'd know what they're doing," Connor said with a slight laugh, "else it might not sell too well on the market." Perhaps he should have picked the one with 30-series titles. Oh well, it was porn. He figured there wasn't too much in the way of differences. Maybe a few, but not much. They were all doing pretty much the same thing.. just with more variety.

Dude brown eye. Now, what was... ohh. Right. His confusion seemingly evaporated, and he shook his head at that image. "Yeah, I gotta agree, I'd rather see the girl stuff." Not that he did on a normal basis. But if he had, which he didn't, he probably wouldn't admit that out loud to anyone. "You should have been here a few months ago. The water we drank, it.. well. Made people sort of do the same things you'd see in those movies. Or close to it, anyway." Fortunately, it didn't last for too long and everyone went back to normal. He was glad for that. Not that it was bad or anything. He just preferred that if he, that if others in fact, were going to engage in those activities, best done when people were in control of themselves first. Then it's more real. And lasts longer.

Connor felt that he should probably get back to work. He had other shelves to check on, after all, to make sure things were in place. But then, what Randal had just said, about seedier titles in the back row? If it did come to that, then Connor would likely be responsible for making sure they were stocked on the right spot. "Well, they'd probably sell a lot. Or.. rent, in this case. Caged Heat, is that the one from the 70s, about the women's prison? Unless I'm thinking of another one with the same title. Though I do remember another one, Caged Heat 3000. It's another prison flick, but in the year 3000, with all these ladies stuck on an asteroid."
