Books and Crannies

Arrethtraen_Sprocketline 2018-03-23 00:17:46 UTC #1

Yay a new RP!! This RP is for my new bookstore/art gallery! I’m setting up shop right next to @Ariella_Newheart’s tea shop. (Hope you don’t mind Ari) My bookstore is called “Books and Crannies”. I will also sell specialty chocolate and hot cocoa. I am looking forward to hosting book club/tea parties every so often and whatever other meetings the rest of you want to organize. I have a missions board for whomever needs something to do. This will cross over into Detective Oldenpinner: Season 1 and Adventures with the Scarlet Man(If this one is okay) and what ever else you all want. I am of course the owner of the shop. I will need help though, I will post a poll with jobs you all can apply for(if you want). I will also post a photo with a floor plan. This is a free RP btw.

Thwack! I finish nailing the 'open' sigh to my door.
"Books and Crannies is now open!" I shout to no one in particular. I go inside and begin labeling some book crates that need sorting. The bell rings and I pop my head out the window. It is...

@Ariella_Newheart, @Emily_Purplebottle, @Azeline_Darkheap,

Emily_Purplebottle 2018-03-23 02:58:54 UTC #8

“Hi!” I walk in. “I’m here to help you unpack. I love books!” I grab a crate of books.

@Miss_A, @Azeline_Darkheap, @Ariella_Newheart

Arrethtraen_Sprocketline 2018-03-23 03:16:11 UTC #9

"Hey there @Emily_Purplebottle! You wouldn't want a job would you? The position for book sorter is open!" I also grab a crate and carry it over to the shelf of fictitious books.
"I would love to! I do get to read the books too don't I?" she responds, following me.
"Of course! If you want, you could review books too!" I continue putting books away.
"Hey, this is a cool book. It looks old." She holds up a leather bound book that is falling apart. A paper falls out and flutters to the floor. "What's that" she inquires.
"It says, 'Follow me and you will see, to great treasure I will lead.'" I read it slowly.
"Follow me? There's no map or anything." she looks puzzled.
"I don't know. I'll go put it on the mission board. Maybe someone will figure it out for us. You wouldn't mind staying to sort the rest of these books would you?" I hurry away before she can answer.
I scribble out a mission and tack it to the board. The door comes crashing open and the bell above it flies off it's hook. In the door rushes...

"HONEY!" I yell, carrying a bucket overflowing with the liquid gold.

Startled, the book shop keeper notices my unique (if not eccentric) bee keeper outfit complete with wings, and politely responds, "Pardon?"

"Sorry, miss. I'm the weekly delivery lady. I bring honey, milk, and any other supplies that the local shops might need. This week's supply of honey just came in." I pause to scoop of a bit of honey with my finger and taste it, "And I'd recommend this batch with a good mystery novel, a cup of @Ariella_Newheart's lemon tea, and maybe some English biscuits. Where should I set this, miss?"

Having not been notified of such a delivery service, the book shop keeper was slightly confused as she responded...

Arrethtraen_Sprocketline 2018-03-23 04:25:54 UTC #12

I glance at the interestingly outfitted lady carrying the HUGE bucket of honey.
"Uh... just set it over there next to the cocoa shop thanks" Shaking my head to clear the shock, I gesture to the coca shop.
"This is a nice little set up you've got here." She nods to the rows of shelves.
"Thanks. Do you know when the milk shipment comes in?" I inquire.

Emily_Purplebottle 2018-03-23 13:34:29 UTC #13

I start putting books on the self thinking about the paper that was in that old book. I wonder what it meant? I thought. I hope someone figures it out. Maybe I should work on it later. I keep putting books on the ‘A’ shelf then move to ‘B’. I take a break when I finish putting books on the ‘E’ shelf and walk over to the counter too get a hot chocolate.

Gloria_Oldenpinner 2018-03-23 16:51:33 UTC #14

As Emily walks over put down the book I was reading to greet her.
"Hullo, what can I get you?''
"Some hot chocolate, please.''
"Any cookies to go with that?''
"Sure!'' after giving her her order of cocoa and cookies, I take a bite of cookie myself, and go back to reading about the wild and wonderful adventures of Janner, Kalmar, and Leeli.

Book store?

Book store!?

I am in. "It's even called BOOKS AND CRANNIES!" I squeal, dashing across the street and crashing through the door. The little bell rings frantically, trying to warn the proprietors of the insane cyborg hurtling into the crowded shop.

I screech to a stop barely an inch away from the front desk. "Oya! I'm Aislinn. When did you start this store? Do you like the Wingfeather Saga? You must, because of the name. I love that! Also, is there chocolate here?"

The girl behind the counter blinks, opens her mouth, blinks again. "Uh. Chocolate?"

Anakin_Steamwalker 2018-03-23 17:05:41 UTC #16

I love it! Though Oskar N. Reteep is going to want an office too.
Andrew is a good friend of mine! He'd love this thread!

"CHOCOLATE!" I pop up with a plate of delicious frosted chocolates, and Aislinn commences to eat them.
"People are liking this more than I thought they would!" Arrethtraen says, surprised.
"I'm going to stay here FOREVER!" Aislie starts dancing in mad circles and I start laughing and dancing with her.

Arrethtraen_Sprocketline 2018-03-23 17:08:41 UTC #18

I leave @Jane_Gogglerubble to bring the milk and go into my office. I see the floor which is odd, "OH NO! @EMILY_PURPLEBOTTLE!" I rush to the cocoa counter and find her chatting with @Gloria_Oldenpinner.
"Oh hey Gloria how ya doing? Did you see the new mission board? Or the detective room? You slipped in and I didn't even notice. Did you use the door in the back of The Cocoa Spot ?" I ask, rambling quickly. Gloria looks confused. I rush to my office as the door crashes open for the second time. @Aislinn_Mollisong1 rushes to my desk. She says some stuff really fast. And I thought I talked fast. I think.
"Also, Is there chocolate here?" She finishes with. I have no idea what she just said.
"Uh. Chocolate?" That's a language all girls understand. "Over there." I point to The Cocoa Spot. Maybe Gloria will make better sense of her than I can...

Aislinn_Mollisong1 2018-03-23 17:12:25 UTC #19

"Chocolate, books, cookies, hot chocolate, books, there is nothing that could make this store any better!" I shriek, bouncing up and down while stuffing chocolate in my face.

"Hey, I found a cat in the back room. Does she belong to anyone?"

windows shatter from squealing and bouncing

Walking around No Mans Landing I see a poster for a new book shop, asking for employees. Ripping the poster down from where it was hanging on a wall I checked to see where it was then quickly ran over to the book shop.

"I saw that you're hiring, is there any chance you still have some positions open?" I ask as I walk through the door.

"Of course! We're always looking for new people to help out. I'm Arrethtraen by the way, what's your name?" The owner of the store exclaimed, coming out of an office from the back of the shop.

"Silverclaw but my friends call me Sylvie. I'm happy to work here for you, where would you like me to start?"

Arrethtraen_Sprocketline 2018-03-23 17:15:33 UTC #21

"My windows!!! I'll need to give @May_Otterview_ and @Xaloy_Dreadapple a call. @Aislinn_Mollisong1, can you start on those windows?"

Gloria_Oldenpinner 2018-03-23 17:16:37 UTC #22

OOC: I'm out of likes, watching a YouTube video, and listening to the doves outside. O.o Things are gettin' CRAZY UP IN HERE!

"A cat? How adorable!"
-ducks as the windows shatter- "Really, Aislie?"
"Sorry, got excited," Aislinn is still bouncing up and down, eating chocolate.
"You're getting hypoglycemic!"
