You are still in the Eatery and may still post there. This thread is for anyone that approaches the bookshelf. As you are out in the open, comments and actions here will be able to read by anyone who approaches. The thread will be cleared once everyone leaves.

Merrick the Salesman is here to offer you to part with your hard earned cash.

[Primate]

"Hi merrick, you alright? Heard you had some zombies in here."

[Primate]

"What time do you get off anyway, are you running this stall all night?" "Is there a different guy that does it in the day or do you just close?"

[ambic]

Merrick: "Sleep is for the cowardly and the poor. The longer I work, the less Poor I am"

[ambic]

"And yes, Zombie Singular. Stupid thing lives in the gym. Works out all day, and then goes looking for brains to eat for protein"

[Primate]

"Merrick, that's not healthy man, you need to look after yourself first. I'm not saying you need to do it tonight but it's worth keeping an eye on your health, you'll feel much better if you aren't working yourself to death. I mean tonight there's a bunch of people here but hoe many people do you normally get in here at 12pm. Are they paying you commission, salary, by the hour, what?"

"Does this mall have some kind of process for dealing with destructive supernatural entities or does is mostly just let them tucker themselves out?"

[Primate]

*12am

[ambic]

Merrick: Process? Probably. If you want to bury yourself in infinite bureaucracy, just go see Sarah. She can keep people in loops for years.

[Primate]

"Do you have anything on translating hyroglyphics?"

[Primate]

"Also, what were those purple explosion things with the meteor storm, do they normally happen?"

[ambic]

Victoria walks up.

Merrick: Yes, How to Read Hieroglyphics. Its shrink wrapped, and for sale for 50.00
The purple things happen every year. Neat aren't they. SOme folks around here really love them. Say they make them feel great afterwards.

Matthew walks up

[Primate]

"Marcus's ghost has become a problem. I think I might have a way of quieting it and allowing it access to heaven, but I need that book. I can give you something of better value if you want, as collateral, until I have a chance to return the book. You don't have to make this decision now, and I will try and find the money in the meantime. Do you understand? I want to fix this. "

[Battle Mage]

hi Merrick, any chance you could please tell me about your favourite books in the store? *takes a seat*

[ambic]

Merrick starts regaling something about The Princess Bride, and boy does he… blah blah killed my father blah blah wine in front of me blah blah fred savage was poorly cast blah blah

I read this book for the first time in NZ, one of my favourite books I still massively associate it with that meet.

[Talitha]

Aw! That's very cool...

[Talitha]

while Merrick is completely distracted talking about his favourite books, closely inspect his sales area, shelves, drawers, etc

[ambic]

He is still going about the book. He clearly loves it.

Victoria sneaks a look through the sales area. She pockets a small book that she finds interesting. Small and black...

[Primate]

Have a good rummage in the church history section, leaving a burger on the side

[ambic]

There is now a burger on the shelves, as fresh as when it was made 20 years ago

[Primate]

Much I love the princess bride, discussions of it tend towards people quoting it, making references, or talking about the email shit. I'm out

Go to Customer Service Desk
