Day 426 / Video and action / Open (backdated to morning)
Video
[Jack comes on the screen in front of the store previously known as the Plush Rump and now proudly sporting a brand new sign stating Captain Jack's Exotic Emporium.]

So. I took this place over a while ago and I was intending to have a great big grand opening day, but what with one bit of drama and another I haven't got as far with the renovations as I'd like to.

So instead I'd like to invite you to come and help me do the place up! I've found some paint and fabrics and things, but a little extra manpower wouldn't hurt, and I could use some people to help set out the stock as well. Any helpers grateful received!

Action
He'll be at the store all day, working on getting it set up.

[For his part, Jack, despite repeated conversations with various members of the community here, still doesn't really understand the effect he has on people like Aidan, and so the source of the awkwardness is lost on him, though he does notice the symptoms. Unfortunately, his instinctive reaction is just to turn up the jovial charm another notch, which probably won't actually help...]

That's fantastic! I knew I could count on you. I mean, what good's a shop without display shelves!

...Things with a bubble in them? [Totally confused.]

	Y'know... one of those little things you put on stuff to make sure they're level. [ A leveler, Aidan, it's literally a leveler. ] Wouldn't want all the, uh... products to fall off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Oh, right, a - a spirit level, isn't that what they're called? [At least in the UK, which is where he's spent most of his life.]

Sure, I think there's one in the pack. I just picked up a whole pack of stuff from the store - it says it's got everything you need for putting up shelves. Over here. [Leading Aidan over to the pile of shelves, with a large box of supplies on top proudly naming itself The ultimate DIY shelf kit]

	Yeah! Yeah, one of those. [ Sure, let's go with that. He picks through the pack. ] I guess I can work with this. Do, uh... do you usually do this kinda stuff? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That gets him an amused look.] Do I look like I usually do this kinda stuff? [He shakes his head, chuckling.] Nah, back home I usually get people in to do the decorating. [Which isn't really that different from what he's doing now...] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I dunno, you're all... buff an' stuff. I could see you do constructing. [ In a porno. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You think? [Not really getting it; he doesn't really go for that kind of porno. He looks Aidan up and down and grins.] You're pretty buff too, you know! All that farming or whatever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I dunno about that... [ Though he is in pretty good shape these days. He's been working out, doing cardio. Losing some fingers kind of put everything into perspective and if they're getting raptors again, he's damn well going to outrun them. ] I, uh... I should get workin' on these shelves. Don't wanna slow you down or nothin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[And it shows. He may not have such a crush on Aidan as Aidan has on him, but he can still appreciate the beauty of a fit male form. Which, of course, he now does, with a longer, exaggerated look up and down, with a very definite smirk.] Oh yeah, definitely buff! And sure, go ahead. I can enjoy the view while I'm painting!
