"What are you looking for?"
Minors DNI!
Admin is 29, I am a busy person, I work night shift, I may not respond right away or at a time you would be expecting me (soon to be on a day shift!)
She/her please!
I tend to go under the 🍬 anon tag for most rp blogs, but some have already taken this emoji before I got to it!

Enjoy your stay!

#candy yaps- just my nonsense ramblings
"Well, I might have that. It's expensive, though"
Eugh
So burnt out
Dear whatever diety is keeping this goddamn hospital open despite the horrendous staffing (because there's no fucking way this place could be open without divine intervention),
I still don't believe in you
Try again
Love,
An increasingly agitated nurse
Mrrp!
Mimicking cat activation noise
Pspsps, do you want some freeze-dried chicken treats? My cat won't eat nice things, apparently 😭
Offers one in a flat hand
You're so cute, oh my god

Second to last night shift. Just two more. That's it. Then I'm free. Soon.
Or
Maybe
Is this my last?
Do I feel....
Sick?
Oh no, how awful. What if I had to call out on Friday, my last day?
No, but seriously, I've started having a bad cough the last two days so hopefully this is nothing
... anyone else want some bourbon? I've got a lot, and I'm always up to share drinks with friends!

Shows a wooden skull with a hole at the top
Guess what this is!
um, a... candle holder?
i honestly don't know... i just took a wild guess...
(*ceramic, sorry lol)
Listen!
Blows into it, a loud screaming sound coming from the skull
Aztec Death Whistle!
ow-! oh, wow...!
lotus winces, covering her ears
Ah! Sorry!
Isn't this incredible?! I found a few of these when I was snooping around places that I probably shouldn't be in
I've got an interested buyer on the black market for one, but I'm going to see if I can sell the others out and about. Which reminds me!
Fishing around in my leather crossbody bag, I pull out a cloth satchel and hand it to you
I found this! Some loose tea leaves I traded for. I figured you might like using these in the café!
the black... market ( °ヮ° ) ?
lotus took a look inside the satchel, her eyes sparkling with interest
ooooh thank you!! these look so good ໒꒰ྀི ｡˃ ▿ ˂｡꒱ྀིა
Yeah, the black market! There are some collectors who have some less than legal things to trade for what they want.
I'm hoping the tea is good, I noticed it and saw it seemed fresh and it smelled nice!
i... see =͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) try not to get hurt!! or in trouble!! who knows what kind of people are out there...
i can make you some tea right now if you'd like!!
Oh my gosh, I would love some! Yes, please!
freshly brewed tea made from freshy picked leaves (-^〇^-)
Sips excitedly
Oh my gosh, this is amazing!!!!
its all thanks to the fresh, dubiously obtained (? i dont know much about the black market), tea leaves you got me :3!!
Haha, thankfully, this man accepted actual money for this! The other items he wouldn't take cash for. He's a sketchy guy. Sometimes, he's willing to take cash, and other times, he needs something of equal value he can sell out in the open!
of equal value? :< well that could be subjective depending on the person, right?
Very true! Usually, they base the value on what it could sell for in cash. Using gold, silver, and gemstones is an easy way to get around all that! At least, that's what people I buy from use!
i see, i see... hmmm...
do they accept monopoly money?
Hmmm, I doubt it. Possibly if they're not sure what it is, though. I might be able to sneak it past a shop owner
Sir?
"Yes? Candy, was it?"
Yes, that's me.
I'm looking for something, and I'm not sure I can find it in a book. I figured I'd ask you
What's the meaning of life? I've never questioned it, but rather gone with the philosophy of Absurdism. It's brought me comfort for a very long time. However, for some reason, I've been questioning myself lately. Is there even a meaning? Will I just drive myself crazy trying to find it?
Laurel stays quiet for a long moment, simply observing her.
"I have several answers for you, child, but first answer me this. Why do you wish to know the meaning of life?"
I suppose I just feel lost. Like I should be doing something that I'm not. I might be missing the entire point of living. I don't know if what I'm doing is correct, and I don't want to miss something important
"Humanity has been searching for meaning since we have started thinking. As if we have a debt to pay for breathing in this world."
"All these books, everything around you, exist because people have been searching for meaning, for a reason to justify their existence and to appeal to someone that their life was worth something. A God, their peers, their parents."
"Meaning is a purely human concept, when your time for eternal rest comes there will be no one waiting for you with a list of things you did or didn't do. As long as you live a life that fullfills you, there's no way for you to miss something important, because you will seek what matters to you."
I guess that makes sense. It's hard to remember this sometimes. I'm surrounded by people looking for meaning in life, and I've never understood it. I suppose I was starting to wonder if I'm missing something that other people aren't
"Generally, people who search for an universal meaning of life, tend to be unhappy with their current life. I found that a better question, for most cases, is "what does a happy life look like for me?""
"Religion, culture, enviroment, it can all influence the answer."
"If you are looking for advice, however, the only one I can give is that to find meaning in your life, you have to live your life."
What does happiness look like for you, then?
"Look around. Centuries of knowledge kept safe in this small shop, and I hope to see centuries of more discoveries."
Can I ask how old you are? And how you got your hands on all of this?
"Old enough to see democracy start in Rome, though by that time I had already been traveling for a few years. Some of the book I wrote, following close instructions of the experts at the time. Other I bought, some I rescued or were gifted to me."
I think you'd have some interest in this then
Opening a leather bag slung across my body, pulling out a very old anatomy book, leather cover torn slightly. The book was clearly well loved and used frequently
I found this in the basement of the hospital one night. I was down there to drop off a very unfortunate patient and got to snooping
Laurel took the book very carefully, first examining the cover front and back and then opening to take a look at its insides.
"It's very interesting indeed. If you don't mind, I would love to examine it more closely in the next few days. Of course, you are welcome to collect it whenever you wish to."
I would be honored for you to look at it and see what it really is. Something about it is odd to me
"There is something strange about it, especially considering the place where you found it. Tell me, was it hidden?"
Yeah, I found it shoved in a cabinet in the morgue
"I'll read it through and tell you what I find. You are welcome to peruse the books here if you want. The ones on the very back are the only ones that can't leave the shop."
Thank you so much! Am I able to read those inside the shop? Are they all about the same thing, or are they all different topics?
"There's books about every possible topic, cursed energy and magic included. You are welcome to stay and read for as long as you want, let me know if you grow hungry."
Gosh, you're so welcoming! Thank you so much!
Got any recommendations? I don't think I could decide with so many options!
"I have a few anatomy and medical books of different races, if you are interested. The History of Magic is always a good place to start too. It all boils down to what you are interested in."
I think the anatomy and medical might be helpful. I need to brush up on a few things. I haven't seen quite a few conditions lately, I need to make sure I don't miss anything in my patients if these come up
Do you need any help around here? Cleaning, organizing, errands, anything of the sort?
Chat, welcome to yet another episode of: "are people too nice and forgiving or am I too much of a cold hearted bitch?"
The answer has yet to be determined
OH HELL YEAH WE LUCKED OUT ON NIGHT SHIFT TONIGHTTTTTT
