8th Design [accidental voice]

[threadthefire]

[There's the sound of slight chaos as Cinna's voice, slightly strained, comes over the Network.]

No, madam, I assure you it isn't ninety, eighty, seventy, sixty, fifty, forty, thirty, twenty, ten or even five percent off. And it most certainly isn't two for one.

Don't you know what day this is?

I believe it's Saturday, madam.

You're a right perfect Grinch aren't you?

Madam, I-

A horrible, terrible, awful, anti-Christmas, Grinch!

Madam, please, calm-

[SMACK!] GRINCH!

[There's the sound of someone stomping off and a pause before Cinna speaks again. You can almost hear him rubbing his wounded cheek.]

What kind of curse is this?


[ooc: Cinna, completely uncursed has been overrun today with people asking about sales, deals and giveaways and he is CONFUSED. Also, I couldn't resist - what hiatus?]

You ought to at least try. You don't really even have to put things on sale. Just put a sign up then mark all the prices up 20% and advertise that everything in the store is 20% off. Everyone will go nuts all over the store.

[He drags the plastic over the dress and takes the shoes from Lucy, pulling some wrapping paper from another drawer.]

If it's a holiday, I have doubts that I will even be open.

Oh fine. You're lucky you make amazing stuff.

[The shoes go into a special bag, with the bag on top.]

Well, I never said I didn't. I just insist on some respect. I do you the service of creating my wares, you do me the honor or respecting my time.

Oh pooh. Fine. It's not about respect. It's about sales and winning and thinking you got something for a deal. [Still pouting.]

[She's like the spoiled children of the Capitol and it grates on his nerves. But as always, Cinna's pleasant mask doesn't slip a bit as he passes the parcels back to Lucy.]

Then enjoy your prize, and come again.

[She...really is in a lot of ways but the pout is gone because it's hard for her to pout with a new outfit in hand. She waves at him.]

I will! Thanks!
