This coupled with the last one is just making people animals. [ there's a shrug of her shoulders. she's just accepted she's trapped in this piggly wiggly and there is nothing she can do about it until whoever it was that blocked her in got whatever items they desperately needed for the apocalypse. ] It gets worse around here every year. [ a beat. ] Soon, there will be a storm and I'll get called in to work and have to bring in back-up.

[toddy]

I guess the perks about owning a bar is that I get to take the day off if people are more scared than they are thirsty. [ makes a face ] But then that's a day I don't get paid. There's no winning, that's the lesson here.

[ looks back to her like she's got an idea ] Wanna get some maraschinos and plastic spoons? I think I saw some lawn chairs on display.

[prizewinner]

Luckily this town is full of drunks [ among other things ] so you'll make up for your lost day in no time.

[ she's already starting to back up in the direction of the utensil and paper goods aisle, raising her eyebrows in harry's direction. ]

You get the maraschinos, I get the spoons-- we'll meet there?

[toddy]

Sound plan. [ good to know that even lawforce knows where it's at. not that she's an actual cop. it's not like they wont pay for them once the line goes down.

starts heading back towards the freezer section because usually grocery stores bundle sundae supplies together to put people at ease. she also stops to snag some whipped cream (because why not) and navigate her way back. a harrowing journey.]

[ lawforce or not, it's the piggly wiggly right before a huge storm. they have more to worry about than a few opened items under five dollars. the employees are probably thankful that they're taking their time and not freaking out at them at the cash registers.

chloe snatches a box of mixed utensils--spoons, knives, and forks--from the shelf and shifts her basket on her arm to dig inside of it for two spoons. before tossing the rest of the box in with the rest of her random foodstuffs.

considering it's the piggly wiggly, it only takes her a minute to find the lawn chair display and she takes a seat, setting her basket on the floor beside her. it gives her a great view of the bread aisle aka the best one to watch. ]

[toddy]

[ plopped down cracking the ice cream open as its pinned her legs. ]

Ready for the wonder bread smackdown of 14? [ passes it along to break the seal for the chocolate and cherries ]

[prizewinner]

[ she holds the ice cream, stealing a spoonful of it for herself before she sticks harry's spoon on the other side of it. chloe looks ahead of them both down the aisle before she returns her gaze to harry and the assortment of goodies she has claimed for their show. ]

You betcha. I'll be disappointed if we don't see any action. [ to the point where she may have to start some herself. maybe. getting arrested by her coworkers probably wouldn't look so good. but it didn't seem that it was going to be necessary-- the tension in piggly wiggly was so high it could be cut with a knife. ] Ah, sanity. Let's hope we never lose it.

[ a mini toast as she shoves another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. what? it's good. ]
