Hey Coral

Alexithymiaa: -Adam leaned over one of the game tables cleaning up after one game that had just finished up. He wiped the surface down with his rag, the bottle of disinfectant held in his opposite hand until he was satisfied with his work, turning to head over toward the counter to stow away his cleaning supplies. "You look pensive."-
Covet: [O.o]
Covet: "Uh.. sort of. Trying to get Tae to make some time for me, and she's giving me every excuse under the sun. I mean I get that she's mad, but, I don't know who else can do this for me. I even offered to pay her." Eli said leaning up to rub the back of his neck.
Tsaaq: ((my planner fell on the keyboard.))
Covet: [Oh XD]
Alexithymiaa: "What exactly did you want her to do?" He asked, resting his hands down on the counter in front of him as he watched Eli.-
Covet: "Airbrush some tattoos for me on Thursday, for my cosplay outfit." Eli told him as he leaned back against the back counter.
Alexithymiaa: "Oh... well... maybe you should kind of paint her a picture of how good it would look for her portfolio?" He asked gently before moving around to the other side of the counter to drop into one of the seats lining the surface.-
Covet: "Yeah, I can try that. Eventually she's got to budge... Right? Would it be terrible if I gave her an alibi night?" Eli asked considering that as bribery as well.
Alexithymiaa: -Adam winced, kind of just looking at Eli with a fucking face because Eli already knew his answer. "Do you really want to put yourself in that position?"-
Covet: "Not particularly, but I think it might be the only way to get her to comply. It wouldn't be a completely free night. She'd be expected to be here at the shop, and she can participate for the event." Eli said to him.
Alexithymiaa: "I guess..." He spoke as he trailed off, weighing Eli's options. "Or you could find someone else to help you out. But I think those might be your only two options for that."-
Tsaaq: Bliss emerged from the back office, smiling between the two. "What's going on guys?" She asked curiously as she made her way to the counter.
Covet: "Yeah.. I know. I can't think of anyone else who could do any of that, besides Tae." Eli said then looked over at Bliss smiling at her, "Trying to figure out how to get Tae to do my airbrushing on Thursday."
Alexithymiaa: "I don't want to say this is the second time in less than a week that I've suggested bribery as a form of getting what you want, but I'm going to have to say that bribery is a pretty good way is getting what you want." He said with a little laugh, giving Bliss a wave.-
Tsaaq: "Do you want me to talk to her?" She asked with a slight tilt of her head. "I don't think she and Drew have been interacting whatsoever." Bliss said, gritting her teeth awkwardly. "No, bribery? She wouldn't do it out of kindness?" She asked.
Covet: "Hey, I think bribery isn't always a bad thing.. It's like... Agressive Compromising." Eli said with a laugh, then nodded his head. "I told her I would pay her, and she still said no. I'm also pretty sure she and Drew haven't been interacting. I was thinking about giving her a night out, she'd still be under supervision, but at least she'd be out."
Alexithymiaa: "If everyone gets something they want, bribery can't really be that bad? Right?" He asked, a little unsure despite being full into bribery.-
Tsaaq: Bliss gave a disapproving shake of her head. "I suppose." She muttered then rose an eyebrow at Adam. "Oh, but she wouldn't feel free... Perhaps putting some type of tracker on her phone or something of the sort?"
Covet: "Yeah, I guess she wouldn't. I'm pretty sure my parents both have her GPS set up on her phone, but what's going to stop her from leaving it somewhere, and going off to do whatever. I want her to have some sort of freedom, I just wish she saw that and could start earning back that trust."
Alexithymiaa: "I still think she needs to talk to someone she doesn't think has an ulterior motive with her. Maybe if it came from an unbiased person, she'd be more inclined to listen."-
Tsaaq: "Maybe." Bliss shrugged her shoulders. "But at the same time, if someone is going to be stubborn they might just generally be resistant." She said.
Covet: "True. on all fronts. I think I'm going to try with the whole Offering to have her come here on Thursday. No tracking, no stipulations other than she can't leave here. I'll even go as far as to letting her stay the night. I'll offer it up, in a way that she doesn't HAVE to accept it, but that it's an open invitation."  he said looking between them, "Does that sound fair?"
Alexithymiaa: "I think that sounds pretty fair to me." He said with a nod, sweeping his hand back through his hair. "She likes this sort of stuff anyway so I can't see her turning it down. Especially given her recent lack of fun."-
Tsaaq: Bliss nodded her head. "I miss Tae." She said. "I'm sure she'd show up, at the very least to catch up." She told him, putting a comforting hand on Eli's shoulder then jumped a little, unknowingly squeezing his developing muscleslels. She lowered her hand and cleared her throat. "Hayley and I have ordered our wigs, it's such a shame that we only get to wear them once they look nice."
Covet: Eli looked over at her and gave a smile, watching her actions, "Why not keep them and figure out something else for Halloween?" Eli asked tilting his head to the side.
Alexithymiaa: "Yeah, wigs are easy to reuse. I'm sure you'll think of a Halloween costume that will let you utilize it." He said with a smile.-
Tsaaq: "What could I use that would be green?" She asked with a tilt of her head. "Who has green hair..." She trailed off as she pulled out her phone. "I know the school is going to have a party but I was thinking maybe I should have a halloween get together at my house? I just feel like decorating to be honest." She shrugged.
Covet: "Hmm? Maybe a cute witch? Find some matching green and black stripped stockings?" Eli suggested, "There's a plethora of characters in the anime's that have green hair. "  He added, "A get together would be fun. I like seeing the different decorations and all."
Alexithymiaa: "Yeah, witches have green hair. And uh... Sailor Neptune. And Disgust from Inside Out?" He said, throwing out a few suggestions. "I still need to figure out what to be for Halloween this year."-
Tsaaq: "I could definitely be disgust from inside out. But Hayley ordered a baby blue wig so how are we going to spin that so she could use it for halloween?" She muttered. "I think it'll be fun. You all can help if you like? We can go shopping a spookify the manor." She snickered. "You could be... What's the name of the boy who's Rick's son in Walking Dead?" She asked with a tilt of her head.
Covet: "Hmm, Joy is more of a blue blue isn't she? Let me think on this, I'm pretty sure I can find something for both of you." Eli said, "I'll dig deep into some references and see what I can find. Carl? I think his name is Carl. I never got into the show, but I remember the Coral meme."
Alexithymiaa: "Mermaids have blue hair sometimes?" He said with a shrug, not really coming up with much for light blue hair. He moved around behind the counter, stepping up to the computer to clock himself out before turning to face them. "I'll brainstorm and let you know what I come up with."-
Tsaaq: She tilted her head. "True." She replied. She smiled at Eli and began to giggle. "Right." She said with a nod. "So that's a no on Carl then?" She asked as she moved away from the counter. She moved to shut of the computers so they could close.
Covet: Eli went about getting the report printed out and the til counted down so they could close on time tonight, "Mermaids would be cool, but I'm not sure how you'd go about that as far as walking around. But they're an in thing, so it might be easier than expected to find something."
Alexithymiaa: -After he'd clocked out, he stuck his hand in his pocket to pull out the keys to his truck. "I'm sure you could just wear a flowy skirt and it would be okay. Hey, maybe ask Tae?" He said with a laugh before turning to make his way out of the shop because bed.-
