Who: Annie & Torii (and probably Ceevee)
Where: Torii (and Sindre)'s Shop
When: Weekendish
What: Meeting of the miiiinds
Warnings: Probably not.

It was finally a not-so-overcast day, which as far as Torii was concerned meant it was time for a sidewalk sale, just the same as the shop's former proprietor had done. There were bushel baskets, handbaskets, an antique baby buggy and a few half-casks all filled with miscellany, some tagged as '3 for 5£' and some marked '1£ for 2' and still others marked 'best offer'. Some of the stuff was the usual McGee's Miscellany items, baubles and scarves and bangles and the like, and some of it was typical Torii detritus, stuff stuck to other stuff, puffballs dressed up in felt costumes, bits and bobs that hadn't ended up exactly how she'd been expecting.

At that particular moment Torii was sprawled in an old wing-backed chair that she'd dragged out onto the sidewalk so she could enjoy the pale, wan sunlight, her feet propped up on a little red wagon, rolling it back and forth, head bobbing along to whatever she had on her one earphone. Probably syncopated jazz of some kind.

Annie had her own music on, and she'd not been paying enough attention to her surroundings, frankly, to see that Torii and Sindre's shop was on this road. She stopped when she saw Torii, though, smiling in spite of herself, just kinda praying Sindre wasn't there. He'd either run screaming from her, or worse, he'd be nice and she'd have to eat his soul. Ah, well.

"Torii. Hi. Totally forgot where I was going. How're you?"

	Torii blinked up at the movement, and grinned, "Yeah, that's how most people find the place, even though it's sitting still now. And I'm doing good, thinking of maybe painting my nails. How about you?" (Reply to this)

	"Was just out walking around town. House is too quiet with Mom and Daddy and Dani gone. And goofus spending all his time at Mordhaus." Annie took her headphones off, setting them around her neck. "Sindre's not here, is he?" Best to ask quick. (Reply to this)

	info_sponge 2010-01-16 06:07 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head, "Not today, and if he is I haven't seen him yet." She only knew a little about what had happened, and was happy that way, "And Robbie's not at Mordhaus right now, I figured he was back home. Maybe he went for a walk, I dunno." She shrugged then, "You want a tour? You seen the place before?" (Reply to this)

	Annie breathed a sigh of relief at Sindre not being there, and nodded at Torii's question. "Sure, I've never been here before, I'd like to see it. And if Robbie's not with you, then he has clearly fallen off the face of the earth. Hope he climbs back up before Mom and Daddy get back." She cracked, hands in her pockets. (Reply to this)

She laughed, shaking her head, "It's not like I keep him on a leash." She said, hoisting herself up out of the chair and using the wagon as a scooter to get back into the shop, "Okay, so here's the shop, over on that side is the boutique." Fashions that were quite obviously designed by Sindre and Torii both, "And over here's the rest of it, stuff falls into the back room and we put it on the shelves and people buy it. Oh, and that's Charlemagne" She said, pointing to the stuffed crocodile hanging in a fishing-net hammock from the ceiling, "She's our mascot."

	"Didn't mean that, just meant Robbie doesn't seem to go anywhere else besides home and Mordhaus unless it's with you." Annie chuckled, following Torii inside. It was a crazy place, but she expected it, pretty much. She looked up when Torii pointed. "I thought Charlemagne was a guy, in history?" (Reply to this)

	"Yeah probably." She said, shrugging, "I didn't name her though, I just call her Georgia. Not really sure why." She added, brow furrowing, "Anyway, most of the stuff works, cash register goes clang." And it would too, since it was one of the old-fashioned, mostly solid metal ones. (Reply to this)

	"That thing's awesome." Annie had noticed; her dad had given her at least a passing interest in mechanical thingies. "Was it here to begin with? I mean, where did you find the stuff you sell? And did you guys just open this for fun?" She was part of the Mordhaus people; not like she needed the money. (Reply to this)

"It used to belong to one of the Shadows, capital S, he got made people when he came here, and replaced the shop owner, and he..." Here she waved her fingers in a vaguely circular motion, "Fwip, got vortexed away again a while ago, and a few days later the deed came in the mail, signed over to me and Sin. We make the stuff over in the boutique and everything else comes in on consignment, or in from the back room. Not really sure how it gets into the back room, but it does."

	"Nice." Annie could appreciate that. "Convenient. Kinda keeps you guys occupied, I guess? Well," she amended, "not like you need much help with that." Torii definitely seemed to be the type who could manage herself. Plus, Ceevee. (Reply to this)

	info_sponge 2010-01-16 07:02 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, smiling again, "Yeah, apparently he knew we'd been looking for a storefront to sell the boutique stuff instead of just online? So that's why he bequeathed it to us." She shrugged, "So there you have it, business owner before I'm even eighteen, that's a new one." (Reply to this)

"Awesome." Annie shrugged. "I kinda wish I had something like that going on. I mean, Dani and I used to hunt pretty regularly, but we really don't have to do it here. With the superheroes and junk. And my brother being able to punch people over the internet." She still found that funny.

Anyway. "Does Ceevee help out around here?" It'd probably be good for the kid. "I still have to meet her sometime."

	Torii still found it hilarious, if the crooked smile and the giggle didn't give it away, shaking her head, "Still cracks me up when he does that." She nodded, "And yeah she does when she's not boarding up at the school, which is y'know, the weekends and the breaks. She'll probably be around anytime, actually." (Reply to this) (Thread)

	"That's cool. She goes to the same school we do, doesn't she?" Which was, well, odd, but hey, whatever. "I think Mom wants you and Ceevee to come over sometime, so she can apologise to Ceevee. She really feels bad about freaking out." ooc: yeah, I fail at logging. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"She goes there, I don't." She shrugged, "I didn't really go to school back home and never got enrolled here, I'm fine learning peicemeal, CV likes it though, so there's that." Another shrug, "And I guess she's doing okay, we haven't got any owls or anything."

Which was right about when the younger Wartooth made her appearance, carrying a bolt of fabric, shiny purple-blue and speckled like frogskin, "I want to make a jacket out of this stuff." She said, and then grinned, realizing it wasn't just Torii, "Auntie Nee!"

(no worries, I usually do too)

Annie smiled. "Hi, Ceevee. Nice to ... meet you, I guess? Heard a lot from Dani and Robbie, who I'm not ever gonna call 'your father' cause that's just freakin' weird if that's ok." She looked over at Torii. "To be honest," Annie laughed, finishing the thought, "I wouldn't even really worry. Winchesters cause trouble without people realizing they cause trouble, and I can guess about Warteeth."

"Oh that's cool." Ceevee said, shrugging and leaning the bolt of fabric against the nearest shelf, "I don't either, and if I do it's just to freak him out. I don't have to call you auntie if it's too weird for you." She'd been about to add something about the trouble-making capabilities of the Warteeth Wimmenz when Torii beat her to it, "And yeah, Warteeth Wimmenz are ace troublemakers, and we're better at not getting caught about it than the boys."

Ceevee grinned, "Or we're just better at not caring if we get caught."

Annie didn't tell her not to call her Auntie; honestly it was kinda cool. Just the idea of trusting her brother with any kind of sentient life form besides Torii who could look out for herself wasn't quite on Annie's radar yet.

"The not caring part helps." Annie nodded firmly instead. "Robbie's the one who got all the stealth in the family, really; Dani and I kinda go in with guns blazing anyway. Half the reason Mom made me and Dani take dance lessons when we were little is because Robbie got all the thief's grace." She smirked.

	Ceevee laughed at that, shaking her head, "And between you and Dee and mum I learned all sorts of fun weapons. I'm kind of looking forward to the next zombie seige, because I know I'll be able to hold down the fort, or run supplies or whatever." Torii nodded solemnly, "I'll be dragging you to Brennie and Teague's so we can have another called-shots contest." (Reply to this) (Parent)
