[LOG] Save Money, Live Better. WalMart.

[numberonecoolguy]

Who: The People of WalMart. Toivo works there. Tanum does too. Literally everyone goes to WalMart.
What: Bothering the employees (see: Toivo, probably Tanum) of WalMart with inane questions 
When: Outside of school hours, during his shift.
Where: WalMart. It's a Super WalMart. There's a gardening section and a grocery section and everything.

There's a place that people go to when they're ready to subject themselves to eternal suffering and torment. It has a name. The name is Walmart.

Only the truly desperate work there. Old people. White trash with five children and no husband. High school boys who go to an expensive private school on scholarship but can't afford anything else otherwise. The truly desperate.

This week's specials!

Did somebody say housewives

[smallwife]

Helen never really got to do much gardening at home. But it was spring now! A season for new life, and new beginnings!
Also, with a room to herself, she could keep as many plants on the windowsill as she wanted!

That brought her to wal-mart with a mission.
She's been hovering around the flower beds, a small pot tucked under her arm. She was a bit sad with the thought of having limitations on her new plants-- Ideally she wanted to plant an entire garden. But fixed space and small disposable income had crushed that dream.

She looked a bit overwhelmed. But she came here with a mission, and she refused to leave until it was completed!

i did, in fact, say housewives

The gardening section always smelled nice to Toivo. Half of it was outdoors, too, which made it nice during the summer months when Toivo wanted to get some sun but had to work a billion hours a week to keep his finances out of the red.

But her. This woman, wait. No she was a student. Toivo had never talked with her before, but he had seen her around campus. Either way, she looked confused.

Toivo walked forward, put on his best customer service smile, and asked, "May I help you find what you're looking for?"

I am here to provide wives

Helen jolted, snapping back to reality. The plants had put her in a bit of a trance.
"Yes! I mean-- no, I need to figure this out myself-- wait...hm. You probably have a better idea with this stuff than I do." She paused, leaning forward to get a better look at the tall kid before her. She could've sworn she'd seen this guy before. He looked young. Maybe he was a student?
Well, she'd figure that out later.

"Well I...I want to have something small, something I can keep just near a window, y'know? A little indoor plant." Helen pursed her lips. "But I'm on a tight budget and most of these I've just seen in bigger gardens. If you have the time, I'd really appreciate some advice with picking one out." She glanced over the flats of flowers again.
"They all look so lovely."

I am here to provide awkward conversation

Toivo grinned. "I'd love to help out!"

He brought his fingers to his lips, thinking for a moment, before smiling a little. "Well, I can see you going a couple different routes. It all depends on what kind of experience you're looking for."

Toivo started to mentally categorize what sort of plants to keep indoors. "I, personally, like to go for more practical indoor plants. Something like aloe for burns, or a small herb pot for cooking. You could also go for some cacti, which are easy to take care of and don't require a lot of attention. None of those are really that difficult to keep alive, and if you treat them right, they'll live a long time."
