whiteblondewashout   I just… I can get just get it myself? //hesitates before going behind the counter//

What? No, idiot, you can’t. //shoves the last three items onto the shelf haphazardly before following Quinn over and pulling him back around the counter by the back of his shirt// I was just telling you, god. 

//checks the prescription again before moving past to the second stack of shelves//

whiteblondewashout   Exterminator Madsen said to… //unfolds prescription between his fingers//

//stares at him for a moment, then reaches out to snatch the prescription away. He reads it over quickly, then glances down at Quinn’s arm// 

Sure. It’s behind the counter.

@dylan-vidal

//fumbles in his pocket for the prescription Anders tucked into it before going inside, tries going over how he’s going to “tell him this is now his number one priority” without looking ridiculous//

Hi, uh–I got told to ask for Dylan…?

[dylan-vidal]

//glances around from the shelf he’s restocking, then keeps sliding the bottles into place// Told by who.

capricornechelon2   … Yeah, um – Jared Vern, it’s painkillers, um… they said for headaches.

Right, okay. You got...... a choice between this one and this one. The first is more expensive, the second has a couple more side effects.

[dylan-vidal]

capricornechelon2   … I’ve got a prescription to pick up

Oh, sure. Name and poison?

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint   I’m pretty useless anyway, haha! Ahah… Just jo–just kiddin’, um, I’ll come by? My name’s Matthew, if–if you need that,

Yeah, sure. Head over any time.

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint Mm, I’m usually just gettin’ off work at 9, but… I don’t drive, does that make a difference…? No heavy machinery operation, haha,

So long as you’re not gonna accidentally crush someone with a forklift, you’re welcome to try it. Just know that you’re probably gonna be pretty useless for the first hour or so.

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint   …Eheh. Uhm… like, 6 or 7, usually…

Don’t suppose you get to bed by 9? The heavy duty stuff’s gonna put you under for a good eight hours, which means the whole no-heavy-machinery thing for ten.

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint   Uhhmm… all of the above? Yeah,

Ha. Uh... pretty sure there’s a gun shop down the road. 

Kidding. What time do you need to be up in the mornings?

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint Guess, haha.

Just–just kidding. Um. Restless sleep patterns? Just need somethin’ to help knock me out, like really knock me out, y’know,

Gotta be more specific. Are we talking easily-woken-up, insomnia, bad dreams, what.

[dylan-vidal]

some-bloody-saint   Um, I don’t have a lump… I don’t th–no, um, I was callin’ t’see what kinda sleep aids you guys sell over the counter…?

All sorts. Including one that, between you and me, should probably be prescription-only. What’s your issue.

[dylan-vidal]

dexteramortem I’m not sure why you think I won’t see to it you’re unemployed in the morning, but okay.

I want my prescription delivered tonight, to make up for this unprofessional oversight. I don’t like to wait.

Fine, god. I’ll be over as soon as I finish locking up.

[dylan-vidal]

dexteramortem   Why don’t you ask your soon-to-be-ex-employer~

I’m not sure why you think Ronald McDonald would know who you are, but okay

[dylan-vidal]

dexteramortem When will you people catch up with the rest of us and start using caller ID? :) Or is it simply that you actually don’t know when it’s me calling by now.

My prescription was supposed to be delivered this afternoon and it wasn’t.

I’m sorry, who is this?

[dylan-vidal]

@some-bloody-saint
