Things Reborn, Friday

While straightening up the store, Harper accidentally knocked over an old chess set. After recovering all the pieces, she set up a chess game at the register with a sign:

50% off your highest price item if you can beat me at chess!

"Either way works. There's lots of moddable used goodies that I'm sure you'd love to have," said Harper.

"I'll take a look after," Turtle decided with a nod. "There isn't anything I can think of that I need, but maybe if I look around, I'll feel inspired."

"Inspiration can hit at any time," said Harper, smiling. "Like yesterday when I decided that the cast of the play needs to have hats that go with the costumes I'm designing. That is, of course, if Geoffrey will let me do it. He didn't like all of my fashion ideas."

There was a long, long pause.

"Don't tell me," she said, "that the hats you have in mind are going to be like the hats from yesterday."

"Sadly, no," said Harper. "They were cute, but Geoffrey told me no bright colors. I'm not sure he'll even let me into the theater with that hat."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
"No bright colors?" Turtle asked, especially since she couldn't argue about the hats. "At all?"

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"He said the first batch of colors I picked out were going to make him vomit," said Harper, scowling. "We compromised. The actors will get to pick out the colors they want, but I'm not allowed to show them any bright colors."

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
"If they want a bright color, though, can they have it?"

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't see why not," said Harper. "I'm sure if I find some fellow fashionistas among the actors, we can pressure Geoffrey into being a little more reasonable."

Turtle wrinkled her nose a little; her own dealings with Mister Tennant had been anything but reasonable, in her opinion, so she decided just to move on.

"So do you prefer black or white?" she asked.

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-06 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll go with white, unless you have a have a need to make the first move," said Harper.

[identity profile] stocksgrrl.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
"By all means," Turtle said, making an inviting gesture toward the board.

Harper selected one of the white pawns and moved it forward two squares.

"How are things doing at your store? I really haven't been there in a while," she said.

One of Turtle's pawns almost mirrored Harper's, only she'd only moved it one square.

"Really well," she said with a nod. "You should stop in more often; we always have really good sales going on."

"You do seem to carry everything," said Harper as she scrutinized the board. "Of course, some of the clothes I've seen there might need to be jazzed up, but that's the case with everything I buy." She moved a second one of her pawns forward by one square.

"Except duct tape," Turtle pointed out, a natural disclaimer, as she looked at the board and then moved a bishop into the spot previously occupied by her pawn. "And you....do a lot of your own designing, right?"

[identity profile] chic-harper.livejournal.com 2009-02-07 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
"Oh, yeah," said Harper. "That's why I'm so excited about working in this place. You can take a lot of old junk and recycle it into new pieces. I bought a bunch of plastic toy soldiers and turned them into earrings."

She really didn't think that hard before moving forward another one of her pawns.

"Are they really tiny?" Turtle wondered, nudging forward one of her pawns, as well. "I mean, because that seems kind of...big to be hanging from your ears."

She held out her thumb and her forefinger, trying to measure out the approximate size of the average plastic soldier.
