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?]

I'd be careful, if I were you. The public seems more than a little vicious today.

... please tell me you don't want to press charges against that woman because if you do, we might not have space in the jail.

[ooc: There's a thread (http://sings4dragons.livejournal.com/63021.html?view=1788717#t1788717) Cinna might be interested in!]

Mmm, it's not a curse, actually. It's simply the continuation of the holiday.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Oh, hello - this... ah, I see, it broadcast. That seems to be a bit of an understatement, considering some of the things I've seen.

As for pressing charges... I doubt any would stick as I understand the police tend to overlook these actions on curse days.

What holiday? That Thanksgiving day was this Thursday past. Am I missing something?

[bladed-siberian.livejournal.com]

We try to keep dangerous people in custody until the curse is over to keep them from hurting anyone else.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Right, well, I imagine you're all quite busy with that.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

You haven't heard of Black Friday, have you?

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I don't know what kind of curse this is.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

It's Saturday, miss.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Yes. I am aware. It's essentially the weekend, the weekend after Thanksgiving to be exact where prices are cut drastically. It's the first time people do their Christmas shopping of the season, usually.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

People have gone insane. Is the bakery like this?

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

I've been in the back all day.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...why are the prices cut? If everyone's shopping, wouldn't it make sense to leave prices as they are for better profit?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Would that I had that luxury.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Because, it attracts customers and people notoriously buy more. After the weekend, prices return to normal.

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

Finnick told me that he saw some really hectic things.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Seems to be a great deal of work for one weekend.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Is he working the front?

THIS IS A PLACEHOLDER BRB

[protects-her.livejournal.com]

Be careful, some of the girls hit.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

Retail is hell for two days.

[risetwice.livejournal.com]

It was when he was out.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

One of the many reasons I'm more inclined to work on commission-only work.

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. I'd advise you to be careful going home tonight.

[haspredilection.livejournal.com]

What do you do?

[threadthefire.livejournal.com]

...really? I seem to have missed that.
