Dumb Is Petty

jajki: ((YAY))
Tsaaq: ((Woooo.))
jajki: Jamie stands behind the counter with an open binder before him.  He leans over the counter and looks back and forth between the computer screen and binder, jotting down numbers as he does.
Tsaaq: ((Okay to post!))
jajki: ((woop woop!))
jajki: ((I'll repost mine))
jajki: Jamie stands behind the counter with an open binder before him.  He leans over the counter and looks back and forth between the computer screen and binder, jotting down numbers as he does.
Tsaaq: Ozzie drove a few times in front of the shop before stopping and finally going inside. He was relieved to see it was the right place. "I'm here!" Ozzie cheered with his hands up with excitement. Probably startling some of the other customers.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam stood outside the bathroom door, waiting on Nikki to finish things in the bathroom. When the door opened, he turned, putting his hands out to the female to help her on her crutches slowly toward the couches in the middle of the shop. "Just take it slow. Nice and easy." He walked with her until she made it, helping her ease down onto the chair. "Do you need anything? Water?" // Nikki smiled, pushing her hair back behind her ear and shifting her crutches away from her. "No, thank you Adam."-
jajki: Ivy follows Ozzie into the shop and laughs lightly at his announcement.  She slowly brushes her hair back over her shoulder and peers around, doing her best to look interested.  “Ooh this is so colorful!” // Jamie looks up and jumps a little bit at the loud announcement.  “Noah. Hey guys!”  Jamie calls out.  He quickly finishes up writing down numbers before closing the binder and shoving it below the counter.  He glances over to Adam and his friend for a moment before looking back to the other two.
Tsaaq: "Yeah but it seems kinda nerdy." Ozzie said as he went to wave at Adam then went over to the counter where Jamie was. "Where the hell-" Ozzie started to say while looking around. "Hmph." He pursed his lips and looked between Adam and the unfamiliar female. "He hangs out with a lot of girls..." Ozzie whispered under his breath.
Alexithymiaa: (HE'S NOT GAY. STOP IT OZZIE. )
Alexithymiaa: (HE HANGS OUT WITH A LOT OF GIRLS BECAUSE HE HAS A VAGINA. CLEARLY.)
Tsaaq: ((He's like "either he's gay or he's a slut."))
Alexithymiaa: (He's had sex like four times in his life.)
Tsaaq: ((He doesn't know that.))
Alexithymiaa: -Adam smiled at Nikki before turning away, honestly feeling a little sad for her because she was kind of pathetic right now. He walked over to the counter, leaning his elbow on it and speaking to Jamie. "We have to make sure that everything is perfect for when Eli comes back."-
jajki: Ivy follows Ozzie up to the counter but turns away and peers around the shop as he speaks.  “Nerdy isn’t always a bad thing!”  She chimes after some examination, turning to face the two.  “Hi Jamie!”  She looks over and smiles sweetly to Adam as he approaches the counter but holds off on introducing herself just yet.  //  Jamie widens his eyes at Ozzie and pointedly looks from him to Ivy then back to him.  “And you don’t?”  He asks in a joking tone.  His attentions shifts over to Adam as he speaks and gives a nod.  “Yeah, of course.  Any idea when he’ll be back?"
Tsaaq: "It's not but I don't get it." Ozzie said with a shrug and smiled as he looked around. He gasped and looked at Jamie then leaned closer to him. "But I'm not a slut!" He whispered under his breath then tried to hush up once Adam was near them.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam shook his head, letting out a small sigh. "I don't know. I imagine he'll be staying with Bliss until she's out of the hospital..." He trailed off and looked to Ozzie and Ivy when they came over, forcing a smile because sadness. "Hi. Are ya'll looking for anything specific?"-
jajki: Ivy looks to Ozzie as if waiting for him to respond before smiling back to Adam and just responding anyway.  “Oh I just came with him.  I don’t think I’m looking for anything specific, but I’ll for sure let you know if anything comes to mind!”  //  Jamie widens his eyes and shakes his head at Ozzie for just a moment before frowning slightly.  “Yeah…I would too.  We should send flowers or something.  Or like…a nice comic-book-themed stuffed animal."
Tsaaq: Ozzie crossed his arms over his chest. "Oh I don't buy nerd stuff." He said with a smile as he answered. "Maybe if I see something I like." He shrugged. "Ohhh nooo, is the RA girl in the hospital? Oh nooo!" Ozzie genuinely looked sad. "Hope she gets better."
Alexithymiaa: "Nerd.... stuff?" He asked quizzically, cocking his head to one side. "Okay...." Chewing on the inside of his cheek, he nodded his head slowly. "Yeah, I'm sure she would really appreciate that. Maybe we can pick something out to send to her?"-
jajki: Ivy turns her head back to Ozzie and giggles.  “Oh my goodness!”  She places a hand over his arm and leans closer to speak quietly.  “I don’t think you should call it nerd stuff in front of the employeeeees!”  With another laugh she tosses her hair over her shoulder and lets her smiling gaze drift to Jamie.  //  Jamie looks away from Ivy’s expression after smiling awkwardly to her and tilts his head at Ozzie.  “I’m sure we have some TMNT stuff you could look at.”  With a shrug he looks back to Adam and nods.  “Yeah.  Do we have anything here you think she’d like or should we online shop?"
Tsaaq: Ozzie shook his head and stared laughing as well. "Oh my gosh! TMNT!" He jumped up and down and drummed his hands on the counter. "Oh my god, Jade never came. She's not invited to anything for a whole week!" Ozzie shook his head. "Ivy you're going to have to be my girl favorite for now."
Alexithymiaa: (She'll be here, dont worry.)
Tsaaq: ((Ozzie is the impatient person NOT ME.))
Alexithymiaa: "Um...." He turned to look out across the shop, scanning the items they had. "Maybe we should order something." He caught Nikki's wave, nodding to her before looking back to the group. "Excuse me." He made his way over to her, leaning down so he could hear her. // Jade walked into the shop in a skin tight black dress, her boots clinging to her calves and her hair done up and curled. Her face was neatly painted in make up that looked like it took fucking forever with her nails freshly painted and overall looking like she just walked out of a salon. She saw the group by the counter and intentionally lingered by the door, pretending to be distracted by merchandise.-
jajki: Ivy widens her eyes at Ozzie’s excitement before slapping on one of her sweet smiles and darting her gaze towards the wall for no apparent reason.  Her jaw is slightly tensed as she speaks.  “Aha..I’ll wear the mantle with pride while it lasts!”  //  Jamie blinks at the whole commotion before laughing lightly and looking back to Adam.  “Yeah, ordering something would be good.  It’d be more personal I feel like.”  He trails off before Adam walks away and does a quick look around the store which lands his gaze on Jade.  “Hey there!”  He calls out to her.
Tsaaq: "Oh there that woman is. HEEEELLLLLLLLLOOOOOO!" Ozzie shouted at her loudly and shook his head. "I can't believe it. Late to hang out with her friends." He shook his head and looked to Ivy. "Can you believe it?" He asked before. "I can help look for a present for the girl in the hospital if you want Jamie?" Ozzie watched Adam walk over to the other girl.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam nodded to Nikki and walked back over to the counter, glancing at Jamie. "I can browse the shop we usually order things from and see if I can find anything Bliss would like, if you want." // Jade turned when she heard someone call out, tossing her long brown hair over her shoulder and sending an aloof smirk in their direction, lifting a hand to wave and starting for the group. "Oh. Hey."-
jajki: Ivy turns as Ozzie calls out to Jade and puts on a show of reasonable excitement.  “Oh my goodness you came! Ozzie was starting to worry.”  She clasps her hands in front of her legs and bounces up on her tippy toes a few times.  //  Jamie glances over and gives a nod to Ozzie.  “Yeah, that’s really nice of you.  Thanks.”  With a small smile on his face he turns his head to nod to Adam again.  “Yeah, that’d be good.  I’m not sure if I really know what she likes.."
Tsaaq: He furrowed his eyebrows at Jade, looking unimpressed. "Hi." He said flatly. "It's okay I don't know what she would like either but I want to help." Ozzie shrugged. "Come on Ivy, let's go look at stuff." He hooked his arm with Ivy's. "Where's the TMNT stuff!"
Alexithymiaa: -Adam nodded, walking around behind the counter to the computer to begin browsing. "I think I know her well enough, I guess..." He forced a weak smile to Jade, returning his glance to the computer. // Jade watched as Ozzie walked off with Ivy, raising her brows. "Oh. Um... okay?"-
jajki: Ivy looks down as the phone in her pocket buzzes.  She pulls it out and reads the text.  After doing that she quickly begins to type out a response but is interrupted by Ozzie linking his arm with hers.  “Oh!”  She chirps.  “Sure!”  As they walk she looks back down to her phone and finishes off the text.  // Jamie nods to Ozzie with an amused expression on his face.  “Alright.  It’s right over there.”  He says as he points towards the back of the store.  He nods to Adam before turning his attention to Jade and giving her a sympathetic shrug.  “He gets offended easily.  Just apologize and win him over with Simpsons references."
Tsaaq: Ozzie watched her look at her phone and pouted. "Noooo pay attention to meeee." He shook her playfully while laughing. "Oh my word, I don't get any of this stuff. Is there a comic of Batman fighting Wolverine? Maybe I want to see that? Where can I find that?" Ozzie said aimlessly, whirling around the store.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam looked up from the computer, looking at Ozzie and then Jamie. "Is everything okay?" // Jade furrowed her brows, easing to lean on the side of the counter as she watched Ozzie and Ivy, jealous as fuck. "Apologize for what? I didn't do anything except say hi. Is that a crime now?"-
jajki: Ivy giggles and looks up from her phone, though she still keeps it in her hand.  “I’m sorry!  My phone’s like blowing up!”  She looks back down and sends off another text or two as Ozzie guides her around the store.  “Hmmm…”  She taps at her chin with the phone still in her hand.  “Maybe?” // Jamie looks up to watch Ozzie and Ivy make their way around the store before nodding to Adam.  “Yeah.  I think it’s fine.”  He scratches at the back of his head as he looks to Jade and gives a shrug.  “Nah, you didn’t do anything wrong.  I think he’s just offended cuz you’re late.  My advice here is gold.  I make him mad all the time."
Tsaaq: He sputtered his lips and smiled. "I feel so out of place here but everything looks really nice!" Ozzie sighed then looked over at Ivy. "I'm not mean right? Do you think I'm mean?" He asked with a pout and a furrow of his eyebrows.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam nodded and closed out of the computer, clocking himself and glancing to Ozzie. "I need to get her back to the house and settled. I'll continue to look for something for Bliss from home. Are you okay to lock up?" // Jade rolled her eyes, batting her lashes at Jamie. "How can I be late if he never gave me a time to be here? That doesnt make any sense. But whatever. Lame."-
jajki: Ivy lowers her phone to her side for the time being and shakes her head briskly at Ozzie.  “I don’t think you’re mean!  Why do you think you’re mean??” // Jamie gives another shrug to Jade before looking to the clock as well.  His eyes go wide and he grimaces slightly.  “Man, I didn’t realize it was that late.  Yeah, for sure.  I can close and stuff.”  He gives Adam a reassuring smile before looking back to Jade.  “That’s Ozzie.  But I’m telling you.   Simpsons references."
Tsaaq: "I don't know..." Ozzie shrugged. "Nevermind. I'm not mean. I can never be. I like everyone." He said quickly then gave Ivy a hug. He went back over to the counter towards Jamie. "Are you guys closing? Should we leave? I want to hang out with you a little longerrrr." Ozzie whined at Jamie. "But I don't want to hold you guys up."
Alexithymiaa: -Adam nodded to Jamie, walking out from behind the counter and over to Nikki to help her up out of the chair and walk her outside to his truck to head back to the house so they could find Tony in his fucking boxers. Tomorrow's problems. // Jade let out a loud scoff, shaking her head. "Whatever, this is stupid." She walked away from him without another word, walking out the doors to call a cab to head home and go to sleep.-
Tsaaq: ((nOOOO))
Tsaaq: ((Wb!))
jajki: ((:D  thank you!))
jajki: Ivy lifts her phone back up to send off another quick text before shoving it back into her pocket and looking up to Ozzie with a flip of her hair.  “Liking everyone must take a lot of work.  So admirable!”  She smiles widely as she’s hugged and returns the action with both arms.  “You are too sweet!”  She follows him back up to the counter and watches Jamie (with a somewhat sweet expression on her face) as the two speak.  //  Jamie blinks at Jade and calls out a confused, “Okay, bye?”  After her.  He also waves to Adam (cuz I forgot his post).  He turns his body and moves to the register to begin closing and stuff when Ozzie and Ivy return and grins as he works.  “Yeah, we’re closing.  We can hang out after if you want I guess."
Tsaaq: "I would like it if we hung out afterwards." He said to him with a smile, frowning a little when Jade left. "I would feel bad but she didn't say she was running late or or apologize or anything and she always has a nasty attitude." He shrugged. "I'm going to drop her off, I'll go to OCH and see you and we'll have another sleep over!" Ozzie suggested.
jajki: Ivy moves to lean on the counter as the two speak.  She falls silent and chews on the inside of her cheek as she becomes lost in thought.  She’s jostled out of that by Ozzie’s words.  “Oh!  Drop me off?  That’s fine, yeah!”  She smiles between the two. // Jamie chuckles and finishes up the work on the register and leans forward onto the counter as well.  “That’s fine.  You can bring Lolo too.  You can do that while I finish up counting the register and stuff."
Tsaaq: He smiled at him. "Great. I'm gonna go warm up the car, I'll be waiting for you Ivy. You guys can talk, you should talk." Ozzie pointed between Ivy and Jamie. "I'll see you at your house!" He called out, walking away slowly so he could eavesdrop on their forced conversation.
jajki: ((I'ma put Jamie first cuz fuk da police))
Tsaaq: ((Bwahah.))
jajki: Jamie stares after Ozzie, completely baffled.  “What?”  Is all he can manage before he feels compelled to look to Ivy and give an awkward smile accompanied by an awkward laugh.  “Eheh…he’s weird.  So…you guys are friends and stuff?”  //  Ivy watches Ozzie leave and appears much less nervous at the prospect.  Turning her head to face Jamie she smiles sweetly and gives a little nod.  “Yeah, we’re super good friends!  He’s the sweetest.  I’m so glad he’s been inviting me to stuff around here!"
Tsaaq: Ozzie turned his head smiling a bit as he looked at the two of them before going outside and standing by the window, in the most obvious way possible, watching them with a grin.
jajki: Jamie nods a few times, maintaining the awkward grin as he does.  “Oh yeah.  That’s good.  Always good to…”  He glances to the window and Ozzie’s smiling face which causes him to widen his eyes and laugh loudly.  “Hah!  Sorry.  Yeah.  Good to have friends.”  He looks away and down to the register.  “So…I need to count the register and I need to be alone for that so..”  He gives an apologetic shrug.  //  Ivy keeps her gaze on Jamie’s face for the duration of his awkwardness, even when he looks away.  “So true!”  She adds to his explanation of friendliness and stuff.  It’s only when he hints at her to leave that she leans up off the counter and takes a step back.  “Oh!  I’m sorry to hold you up!!  See you later!”  She waves at him over her shoulder before sauntering out of the store and towards Ozzie.
