Thread: Barclay goes shopping at Nazar
WHO: Barclay Grisholt, Darius Prose
WHEN: 11/4/13
WHERE: Nazar
NPCs: Mention of Salem, Koan, and Mrs. Whatsit
Darius's job at Nazar had been going pretty well. While the inventory wasn't anything he was familiar with, he knew how to run a shop in general and this one followed the same rules. Sure, the restricted stock back home was alcohol and cigarettes and here it was... actually he didn't even know what it was, but he wasn't allowed to sell it yet anyway. Mostly he was setting up the software and helping out in the front and if anyone wanted something from the back, one of the witches handled it.
That Monday he got a call from Salem. She, Koan, and Mrs. Whatsit—who Darius still hadn't met—had gone to do some witch thing for Halloween weekend and had gotten held up, and how did he feel about opening the store solo after class? It was the tail end of the tourist season, so the customer traffic shouldn't be too heavy. Darius could use the money, so said sure and headed into town as soon as he was free from school.
Sure enough, it was slow. He sold some tchotchkies to an elderly couple in town for leaf peeping, and there were a few who browsed, but that was about it. Darius spent most of the time entering the old transactions from the books—yes, they used actual books to keep the books in this store—into the software.
