--Green Drugstore:: Behind the CLOSED Sign
[Adapted from CLAMP’s Lawful Drug (aka Legal Drug). Yaoi/Yuri/Shounen-ai/Shoujo-ai friendly.]
--Story:: Green Drugstore is notorious for its friendly and helpful service, huge sales, and just about everything else. It’s a normal department store, with plenty of workers, lots of goods, and giant Christmas sales. But there’s something about Green Drugstore, that people just can’t seem to put their finger on. The workers all seem to have a certain charm, and are usually attractive, but there seems to be something hidden beneath the surface, some kind of power.
In truth, every worker in Green Drugstore has a certain ability, a special kind of power, of magic. After hours, when the shop is closed, the workers are given special jobs, for which they are paid upon completion. These aren’t ordinary tasks, however. These jobs are the kind of things found in fantasy stories. They sound simple at first, such as retrieving a certain item. But once you get into it, it becomes much more complicated. The item could be in the possession of a spirit, or hidden in a magic mirror. There’s no telling what will happen, or what job will lead you where. But there seems to be reason behind all these jobs, whether it be to strengthen relationships, or to help relieve people of their pasts.
In any case, those who work at Green Drugstore were hired for a reason, reasons which may or may not be revealed over time.
--Info and Stuff:: -Most workers of Green Drugstore [which is actually a department store… it’s just called a drugstore] live above the shop. Your character doesn’t necessarily have to, it’s just more convenient that way. -The store is laid out by floors; 1. Registers, pharmacy, first aid, hygiene. 2. Kids and Entertainment – toys, collectables, games, movies, music etc. 3. Apparel – children’s, men, women, athletic, shoe department 4. House hold – kitchen appliances, bedding, lighting, etc 5. Worker Rooms, Inventory -In order to work the registers, you must have at least one year’s experience. -Normal breaks are 15 minutes, and lunch breaks are 30 minutes. -First one up and ready in the morning when the shop opens gets to pick the music playing in the store. -Employee of the month – that’s the person who sacrifices the most for the least in return. AKA: the person whose talents are exploited the most. Nyahahaha. XB -Most workers have nicknames that don’t necessarily relate to their actual names. You don’t really have to have one, though. -You don’t even have to be a worker. You can be a costumer who frequents the shop. Or something.
--Rules:: 1. Be at least semi-lit. 2. No God-modding. omg, I hate that. 3. No power-playing [same as god-modding], Mary-Sues, Gary-Stus, desperates, etc. And no controlling other characters without thier owner's consent. 4. PM [or IM, if you know my IM stuffs...] all applications to meee... 5. Rule of all time - have FUN. :B *doom* [hehehe.]

--Characters::
Screen name: Nuklz Name: Suuichi Kato Nickname: Kato Age: 17 Gender: Male Height: 5’10” Weight: 128 lbs. Job: Worker Experience: 1.5 months Job nickname: Rookie Weapon: Book Power: Whenever Kato touches something or someone, he can feel what it feels [emotionally]. Sexual preference: Bisexual Appearance: img.photobucket.com/albums/v112/Nuklz/rahh.png Personality: Kato is a good-natured person, who always takes a long look at people before judging them. He always tries to see the good in people, as opposed to the bad. He is a soft-spoken person, and rather intelligent, though he wouldn’t admit it. He can be kind of slow at times, but is always optimistic and almost constantly smiling. Bio: He graduated from high school a class ahead of himself, but could not attend college, as there wasn’t enough financial support. So he took up a job at Green Drugstore in order to help raise money for his education.
Screen name: Nuklz Name: Isshin Junbashi Nickname: Jun Age: 12 Gender: Male Height: 4’1” Weight: 54 lbs. Job: Worker Experience: 3 years Job nickname: Shorty, Short Stuff, Chikai Weapon: Gun Power: Whenever Jun gets scared or angry, the air around him gets extremely cold. He also isn’t really affected by extreme heat or cold. Sexual preference: Bisexual, but not really interested Appearance: www.digik.net/gallery/view.php?id=2913 [also has reading glasses] Personality: Jun is more introverted, and prefers quiet to loud noises. He is very mature for his age. He is cold by nature, and often sneers down upon those around him, even if they are older or wiser. He considers himself to be higher than most people, and usually only humbles himself if he respects someone. That doesn’t mean that he likes to spite people, or pushes them to their limits. It’s just hard to earn his respect. He isn’t exactly very trusting, and will often insult people in a way that seems only too natural. Bio: Jun started working in Green Drugstore when he was 9, hired for his mature state of mind and his willingness to work. He has never stated his reasons for wanting to work at such a young age, but it’s been rumored that he used to be in some kind of high-paying business, but due to certain circumstances, left. When the topic of his old legendary job (if there was one) is mentioned, he doesn’t respond.
Screen name: Nuklz Name: Keiji Nomura Nickname: Keiji-san, Kei-san Age: 24 Gender: Male Height: 5’11.5” Weight: 135 Job: Worker - Manager Experience: Been working in Green Drugstore ever since it opened. :B Job nickname: Manager-san, Manager Weapon: N/A Power: Keiji is telepathic, meaning he is able to read minds and speak through his thoughts when he wants to. Sexual preference: Bisexual Appearance: www.digik.net/gallery/view.php?id=559 Personality: Keiji is kind of a happy-go-lucky person. He is always cheerful, and if he ever gets mad, he doesn’t show it much. He is very patient, and is always willing to give everybody second chances. And third chances. And fourths. And fifths. And so on. That doesn’t mean that he’s a pushover, however. He is actually quite stern when it comes to business, but just believes in people perhaps a bit too much. Bio: Keiji’s the one who opened the shop, and hires people, and does accounting business, and pays the bills, and pays the workers (sometimes... heheh, nah, just kidding), and gives the post-curricular ‘jobs’ out. Basically, he’s the brains behind the operation. Yay!

Small flurries of snow were drifting about outside of Green Drugstore that winter morning, just a few days before Christmas. The shop was not yet open - it was only 7:32 AM, or so read the clocks scattered around the store. The store was dark, dank, and cold, as quiet footsteps slowly rang around the premises of the building, stopping only when a young, short boy paused at the bottom of the stairwell, blinking sleepily.
Despite it being so cold, he didn't shiver, nor did his teeth chatter - actually, the place felt just find to him. He was dressed in an extra-big sweater that hung loosely on his small figure, and wore normal pants. Switching on the lights, he ducked behind the counter and dug around for a bit until he came back up, a forest green apron in hand. He slung it around his neck and tied it in the back, readjusting the pin on the front that stated his name: Isshin Junbashi.
Though he was fine as it was, Jun turned up the heat, so that his co-workers wouldn't completely freeze. Things were going to get hot today, anyways... today was the day of thier "One Day Only CHRISTMAS SALE OMG" - and lots of people would come. Lots, and lots, and lots and LOTS of people. Jun popped some happy Christmas music (it only made sense) into the CD player, turned it up slightly, and pressed play. He then seated himself at a register, grabbed a random book from underneath the counter, pushed his glasses onto his nose, and started reading. '...everyone else must still be alseep... huh.'

Tobey arrived soon after Jun, sighing as he walked inside and remoed his beanie, jacket and scarf, "Why does winter always have to be so cold?" He knew it was a stupid question cause he knew what the response would be. He just asked anyway.
He quietly made his way to the back, hanging his things up then takeing out 2 boxes to place a few of the new store items on the shelves, "Were supposed to put these up on the shelves right?" He asked, setting the boxes on the counter.

"Hmm... yes..." Jun murmured absently, waving the older boy away. They still had a good half-hour until the shop opened to customers (the scary thing was that there were already people outside, waiting). He cast his gaze to the ceiling, wondering where the others were. "...we're going to be busy today." -- Suuichi Kato rolled over in his bed, automatically reaching for his glasses which were folded neatly on the beside table. He picked them up with a yawn, and put them on his face groggily. He looked at the clock. Oops. Yawning again, he stretched and got up, parting the drapes around his windows slightly. Gray, cloudy day, as usual. How nice!
Smiling, Kato quickly changed into some proper clothing and washed up, then sprinted down the stairs to get to the bottom floor. From the sound of things (the Christmas music), someone was already awake. Behind him, he could hear someone mumbling sleepily, "G'mornin', Kato... uwah..." - that was probably Keiji-san. Kato smiled to himself sillily and continued down the stairs, taking them three, four at a time.
Arriving at the bottom floor, he waved to Jun and Tobey, who were already there. "Good morning, you guy - aug!" Kato tripped over a box on the floor, sprawling across the linolieum floor with crash. Jun raised his eyes from his book momentarily, then lowered them again, shaking his head.
"...Rookies..."

Tobey blinked quietly, then smiled, "Glasses dun help much 'aye?" He asked jokingly, picking the boxes from the counter and starting to fill the shelves, "I'll go wake up Elf-boy as soon as I'm done, Alright?"
That probably wasn't a good idea. Seeing as the last fight they had gotten int, Kou was seriously wounded and was still recovering. But he would probably do some good work working the register.

"You do that!" Kato said happily, picking himself up off of the floor, and brushing himself off. He readjusted his glasses before swooping down behind the counter and donning an apron. "So... lots of work ahead of us today, huh?" he said cheerily to Jun, who was still reading. Jun shrugged, flipping the page and continuing to read. Kato sweatdropped, then went off to put out some things from inventory. -- Keiji yawned. Bad idea to stay up late the day before a sale... very bad idea. He rubbed at his eyes underneath his glasses and shuffled down the hallway where everyone's rooms were, knocking on random doors as he passed. "Get up, kiddies!" he called, sounding a lot more awake than he felt. "Today's gonna be crazy, get your butts in gear!"

Kou groaned, rolling over, "Go away..." He mumbled, not one for mornings.
Tobey hopped up once he finished and made his way to the stairs and just opened the door of Kou's door and closed it behind him, "Get up Elf-boy."

"That's the spirit, Tobey!" Keiji said jubilantly, clapping the man on the back as he passed. He continued downstairs, shivering slightly as he went. "Jun, could you turn it up a bit warmer? It's still kind of cold..."
"Right..." Jun said, cranking up the heat. "It's only going to get warmer with all the people in here, though... am I the only one workin registers?"
"You can ring people up pretty fast..." Kato pointed out, reaching up and pushing a box onto a high shelf. "Sure, a bit too fast at times, but still... you're good at it." he smiled.

The two made their way down the steps, Kou slung over Tobey's shoulder. He could hardly walk, "Kou can work a register too so he doesn't have to walk about."
