eyes open

The comic shop had been extremely dead. There was literally nothing for Sebastian to do anymore. When he showed up at 2, he was given a list of things that needed to be done. All of it was supposed to be “busy work” like organizing the Pop! Wall, double check that this weekends releases were ready, clean up the lounge area, make sure the customers pull boxes were empty, & put up a new window display to promote the new Spider-Man movie. He finished all of that by 5 and he was stuck there for another two hours. Three-fourths of the internet was blocked on the company computer, so browsing the internet was not an option. There was only one customer in the entire store, and before Sebastian could even ask if he needed any help - he dropped his comic back on the table and left. With a heavy sigh, Sebastian collapsed on the chair behind him. 

⏤ Was she confused? Yes. India had been in the comic shop for a little bit now and she had barely moved from her initial spot in front of the Marvel comics truth be told she was a bit in fear of comic shops nothing good had happened at them before. She looked away moving around the shop searching for someone to help her, “hi” she finally said when she saw a collapsed Sebastian “do you guys sell those like Magic The Gathering cards? My boss his sons birthday is soon and he loves it, I on the other hand hate it. I used to play it right? But I went to one comic shop that had a room where people played games in the back but the didn’t let food and drink inside and I wanted to drink my starbucks so I snuck it in through my bag and it spilled even though, I was uber careful. My phone was sticky and stopped working” she said with a shrug at the end. India could talk for hours about nothing of importance when she got started but she had stopped herself and was now tossing a bright smile at Sebastian “sorry, could you direct me to the cards? Or a good gift for a teen?”. 

“High school I work at hired a real piece of work as the new football coach an’ if I end up killin’ him I need t’make sure your ass s’ gonna come bail me out. Least tell me you’ll help me bury the body.”

⏤ “Have you ever?” India started moving so she was sitting more comfortably “thought about doing a Goodbye Earl moment? Honestly if that is the way you want to take him down I would so help and we could play the song heaps it would be such a fun time, wait did you want help actually committing the murder or just the burial?”

SO below the cut i attempt to describe india, and would love to plot or anything with all of you, either feel free to message me or like this and i’ll send my bad jokes to you !!

⏤ India scrunched her nose as she listened shaking her head “at least, it was sort of a compliment?” she offered trying to see the positive side of this even though she wasn’t sure if there really was one. “What did you end up doing? I feel like I would have just passed out with embarrassment or ran away” she said with a small shrug.

⏤ Running her finger around the rim of her glass the empty remains of a fruity drink she had long forgotten the name of. This place had been a constant stop of hers simply because it was such a weird combo how could you beat the two? She nodded turning so she faced her “or a claw machine appeal to the masses” she said with a small laugh “I always thought it was crazy how in bars with pool tables more people don’t get stabbed with a pool stick put that many people all drunk or on their way someone is bound to go vampire killer on someone else”.

⏤ India stared at Annie’s nails lost in the world of the polka-dots that reminded her of fireworks out of focus and summer in general. She had come to the bar after work and it wasn’t until Annie spoke she realized the drink she ordered half an hour ago still hadn’t arrived. “I wasn’t trying to be creepy” she said with a small smile “your nails are pretty” she said looking away. Her eyes stared at the bar and she looked at the bartender off flirting with some girl shaking her head “I’ve been waiting for my drink so long I forgot I ordered one” she said with a sigh.
