Some more additions to my pop cross soap opera au these being ones that are mostly dealing with characters I didn't mention much of in the previous two posts
The first a decision that I came to with the help of @l3m0ngal5 is that in this au Kayla works for Benny at his shop technically she's his assistant and while she will occasionally help him work on the cars her main job is doing the books and handling the actual proper business side of things while Benny focuses on the part of the job he enjoys working on cars and interacting with customers here Charlie is just an AI assistant on her phone if you're wondering how she got this job she came into town one day looking for a new start after things back home fell apart and her car broke down Benny fixed up her car got her a hotel room to stay at and offered her a new job to help her out and because this was before he took in Mara let her stay with him for a few days until she was able to get her own apartment
The second is The Sci-Five act as the staff of champagnes clinic swipe being his receptionist and sound strike acting as a nurse maybe calamity helps with the heavy lifting around the place and ziff does the books and is the clinic's entire IP department jump kick drives to pick up supplies from suppliers in the next town over to avoid delivery fees champagne obviously pays all five of them well
The third and final edition for this set of additions is that the astral apartments building is owned by this universe's version of Astra who for simplicity's sake in this universe is called Alice astral instead she keeps her rent prices cheap and affordable especially for her friends which are the majority of her tenants
A suggestion by @therummonster that I actually really like is that the town's name is Rivers crossing
