[mccallmemaybe]

Hey, Scott here. I have an announcement to make.

I've opened up my own store. It's in Freya district. It's called Allison's Pet Store. [ Allison is the name of his girlfriend... Seriously, he actually named it that. ] I know people can feel lonely here, especially if you're missing people back home... [ There's a brief look of sadness in his eyes when he says this, but he quickly puts on a happy face. ] Animals can make good companions.

I'm going to need some help at the store with cleaning, feeding and giving the animals exercise, stuff like that. If you're looking for work and you're an animal lover, let me know.

[ Scott feels the need to clarify something... ] Animal lover in a non-beastiality way.

[ filtered to Derek and Jackson ]

Do you want a job?

What sort of animals do you sell? [he's thinking ... horses, chickens.]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Unfortunately Scott's store sells neither of those. ] We have cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, mice, lizards... Were you thinking of buying a pet? [ Have a pleading look. He really wants his business to be a success but he needs customers for that to happen. ]

[ allison's pet store. let him die. ]

At your pet store. [ can you hear the are you fucking kidding me in there somewhere? ]

( video | filter )

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Well if you want to go ahead and die, go right ahead... Scott wouldn't mind. ]

Yeah. [ It's only until Derek says it that Scott realizes what a bad idea it is. Now he realizes. ] I mean... who else is gonna give you a job? I'm practically doing you a favor.

[ Oh this is going so well already. ]

[takebow]

... It's called Allison's Pet Store, but your name is Scott?

[...and did he really need to clarify the non-bestiality part?!]

video;

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Yes. Yes he did. ]

Yeah... Oh, uh, Allison isn't like, my alter ego. [ Oh crap, do people think he has an alter ego called Allison who likes to dress up in girl's clothing? That's awkward. ] I like the name Allison. It sounds nice and welcoming for a store... and it happens to be the name of my girlfriend. [ What a coincidence. ]

[companioning]

Oh, Scott! [See this? This is Inara looking rather pleased and a bit proud of him.] Congratulations! And what a marvelous idea.

What sort of animals are you selling? And more importantly, when would be a good time for me to come and check this shop of yours out?

[mccallmemaybe]

Thanks, Inara. [ This is what they talked about, right? Scott proving that he could make something of himself without the help of his werewolf abilities. It's weird but he wants to make her proud the same way he wants to make his mom proud. ]

At the store are cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, mice, lizards... I'm sure I've missed some out. You should come to the store in the next couple of days and see for yourself.

[ A pet! Oh, oh, wouldn't a pet be great! (And maybe he's mostly thinking that because something more to occupy his time would be nice. But, hey, doesn't matter, does it?) ]

Ohhh, pets! What do you have?

[video]

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Needing something to occupy his time was the reason Scott started his own pet store. ]

There's cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, birds, mice, lizards... You can buy toys for them at the store too. [ He's already tested some out on the puppies... He probably shouldn't have done that. Now they're used and he probably won't be able to sell them... Oh well. ]

[tradingsecrets]

What kind of pets are you going to sell? Also, let me guess you like a girl named Allison? Just a hunch?

[mccallmemaybe]

The usual animals you find at a pet store. Cats, dogs, hamsters, et cetera... [ Scott laughs when Finnick guesses who the store was named after. ] That obvious, huh? She's my girlfriend. Replace like with love.

[integrous]

[ .. Huh. She's actually been looking for a way to get some money, and this seems like the perfect opportunity - she's been admiring other people's pets all this time, after all, why not work with them directly? ]

Do you need anything specific to be allowed to work there? If not, then I'm in for sure!

[mccallmemaybe]

You don't need to have experience with animals. As long as you're comfortable being around them and handling them then that's good enough. Would you say you're friendly? [ What kind of question is that, Scott? He really sucks at interviewing people. ] I don't want to hire someone who will scare the animals or customers away... [ Which is why hiring Derek is not a good idea. ]

[formercheerio]

I think it beats the sheep. [ Just a smidge. Pets are cool ] Where did you get the pets?

[video]

[mccallmemaybe]

Someone beats sheep? [ Scott will put a stop to this animal cruelty right away! ] They came with the building so I guess the gods provided them.

[survived]

[Pets, pets.... oh gosh, he can't help but be interested.]

If you still need help, how long are the shifts you're offering?

video

[mccallmemaybe]

We could probably come to an arrangement. Morning or afternoon shift for a few hours. Are you interested?

[burping]

A place to sell pets? That is a wonderful idea.

[mccallmemaybe]

Thanks. Would you like to buy a pet?

[video]

[eggsterminate]

That's quite the name. Who's Alison? Your girlfriend? How romantic.

[Tactless...]

[video]

[mccallmemaybe]

Good guess. [ He ducks his head in embarrassment. ] I wasn't trying to be romantic, I just wanted to name the store something that would make me smile. [ Yep, total romantic. ]

[bitofajerk]

...Are you offering me a pity job?

[ WAR THINGS ASIDE. no.

just

no. ]

video | filter

[mccallmemaybe]

No. [ Pity has nothing to do with it. ]

Don't you want to try earning money instead of getting it handed to you for doing nothing? [ Dumbest question ever. Why would anyone want to work when they could get money for sitting on their ass? ]

action c:

[airborn]

[She peeks into Scott's new shop, because 1. it's new and 2. animals!

When she finally goes in, she spends some time staring at the plump (still grayish) rabbits in the glass cages.]

bring on the action >:3

[mccallmemaybe]

[ Well hey there cutie, you happen to be Scott's first visitor to the store!

He doesn't come over right away, letting her have some alone time with the rabbits, but eventually he does make his way over in case she has any questions. ]

Can I help you?
