Lucas held the door open for Nadia.

"Come in," he said. "Have a seat. Can I get you anything? Water? Fruit?"

[ooc: I'm at work. I'm insane. And I'm bored. locked to, um, me.]

Nadia shrugged her good shoulder. "I've had a really bad couple of days. And the song has been stuck in my head for a week. I just, wanted to hear it. For real."

Lucas put his chin on his hand and studied her again. A total cross between Warren and Deb. He nodded slowly.

"I'll tell you what, Nadia. The boys on the floor are going to be leaving in a few days, and I'm going to need some more employees. You'll get a staff discount, and the money you need to buy music for real, instead of stealing it. Is it a deal?"

Nadia narrowed her eyes at him. Was he for real?

"You want to hire me. For shoplifting." Sarcasm dripped from her voice.

"It has become something of a tradition." Lucas studied her a moment longer. "Or I could call the police. Or the sherrif. The creepy soldiers in the white plastic armor. Whatever it is you have in this town."

"Can I think about it?"

[not_entirely]

"Not really, no."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia smiled slightly in spite of herself. "It's a deal. When do you want me to work?"

[not_entirely]

"We'll try one day a week to start with. How about Sundays? Leaves your Saturdays free, and won't conflict with your school schedule."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah. Okay. I can do that."

[not_entirely]

"Great." Lucas stood and tilted his head at her. "I don't suppose you can draw socks?"

[ooc: aaaand scene! That's right folks, shoplifting at Empire Records and Bidet will get you a job there. Or possibly run down through the streets like the dog you are. It's an either or proposition, really. After all, the owner is, obviously, entirely insane.]

((I love you, and now I have to seek my copy of Empire Records out, also I'd just found an icon of Mark when he goes 'Shoplifter!!!!!' when this scene started))
