Would that be all?

...

What? Questions? About the store or...?

Listen, if this is some sorta salubrity check I'll need t—

...

Me? Now why would you wanna know stuff about me?

...

sighs

Sure. Shoot. But make it quick, my shift's ending soon and I wasn't planning on doing any overtime.

...

Uh, as you can read on the name tag, I go by Reggie, but my real name's Reginald. Reginald Steinmann.

...

I'm 21, I go to Remington, and am studying electrical engineering. Not by choice, I can tell you that much. I wanted to go for something “simpler”, but my old folks wouldn't accept any career path that wasn't related to SMET or Medicine. Went with electrical engineering since it seemed doable enough. It sucks. But I guess I manage myself.

...

It's whatever. At least I'm garanteed a good salary after I graduate. If I can find a decent job.

...

You think I work at Sherwood's local 7-Eleven because I love this place? Hell no. I hate my job, plain and simple.

...

I didn't exactly have a choice. I wanted to apply to some record stores, maybe a video store like Radio Shack, but no. My parents are determined to keep me away from music since they know that's my real passion. I needed to start saving money fast so I applied here knowing they were understaffed.

...

The best part of the job? You're seriously asking after everything I just said? ... Fine. If I have to choose something, I'd say the employee discounts. I get cheap snacks for me and my bandmates so that's a plus.

...

Right, didn't tell you. Yeah, I have a band. I'm lead guitarist. Parents don't know, though. So you better keep it between us.

Worst part is the clients, no doubt. You'd think the worst would be the drunks, junkies, or old creepy men... and some women too. But nah, highschoolers got me stressed each time they come by. They're loud, inconsiderate, it's clear they've never worked in customer service; or at all. They treat this place like their personal playground.

I have some special hatred for two regulars. Well, Smurfette isn't all that bad but her boyfriend? He spends too much time in here. Even before she started tagging along.

...

Uh, yeah, she's always in blue so I call her like that. I call him Gargamel, if you care. I've never seen him without that long black trench coat. Hope they get bored and change hanging spots soon. If I find the supplies closet locked one more time I swear I'll call the cops and tell them some burglars broke in.

...

Hm? Come again? ... Do I have a girlfriend? Is that like a part of your little questionnaire or...?

...

Oh, uh, sorry, I'm just not interested in a relationship right now. Too much shit on my plate and all that, you know?

...

No, no—! He clears his throat. I, uh, don't do casual stuff either... sorry.

...

Right. Your total is $2.41.

Here's your receipt and— Oh, uh... Sure. I'll give you a call, I guess. Good luck with your project if it was even real to begin with.

Fuck, I talk too much.

List of important info about Reggie:

Full name: Reginald Milton Steinmann

He never mentions his second name because he despises it

He doesn't hate his first name but does prefer his nickname

Born in 1968 is currently (1989) 21 years old

Studies electrical engineering at Remington University because of his parent's wishes (demands)

Wanted to study music

To make up for it he's secretly a part of an underground garage band with some of his friends

Absolutely despises his job but he didn't have many options so he settled for it since he was on dire need to gain money

He had to start paying the installments for his guitar, which he bought on layaway

Has tinnitus due to attending concerts and gigs without earplugs

He began to take precautions after getting it though

He's aroace but doesn't know it is a thing so he just thinks something is wrong with him

Gets uncomfortable when people flirt or make advances at him

TW: Sexual Trauma When he was 19 he forced himself to have sex with a girl at a party thinking it would "fix him". The experience now remains as a very unpleasant and hurtful memory

His parents compare him to his older brother for as long as he can remember

Has depression but doesn't know it since it's "high-functioning" and well, it's 1989

He's always tired but barely sleeps, mostly due to his long shifts and late night studying. Somehow still makes time for band practice

His coffee addiction probably worsens his insomnia

Is very pessimistic and struggles to see the bigger picture

Often puts other's needs before his

Ok grades and an overall good student even if he dislikes his career

#1 JDronica hater for very valid reasons

Or Smurfette and Gargamel, as he calls them

He's really not unfriendly. In fact, he's overall very well mannered

He does curse a lot. Got told by his manager to watch out for it since it can upset some customers

Daily internal crash outs go brrrrr

Uuuuh random one but he hates pickles and has to fight the urge to gag whenever someone orders them on hot dogs

OOC

I won't be opening a main list. All Heathers rp blogs (movie or musical, doesn't matter) are welcome to interact. Feel free to ask him anything through the ask box.

I know in the movie the convenience store is called Snappy Snack Shack. So if you need him to be an employee there for an rp, I'm totally down. Otherwise, I will be treating the store as a 7-Eleven.

My face claim for Reggie is the actor Charlie McDermott. I've never seen any of his repertoire, sorry. I just searched for an average looking dude on Pinterest and went with him.

SHIFTCHANGE ART GO!!!

@milkjoyy I SAID ID DO IT HEH

@shiftchange / didn’t ♥︎ for a starter but is getting one anyway.

abby’s heart races in her chest as she stands in the locker room preparing to pull her hair out of the collar of her scrub shirt, memories of the emergency center flooding into her mind. this hospital is where she grew up, where she trained, where she met her husband, and where they conceived their son. it used to be her safe space away from everything. however, it’s also where she only saw the effects of the cruel world in forms of grievous injuries or illnesses. that’s why she left in the first place. her pregnancy just sealed the deal with her decision to retire, but it was truly all the death she witnessed that resulted in her absence from the place she used to love. and now? she’s returning in an effort to help her former mentor and friend with a short-staffed day. trauma never usually irked her, but seeing the blood on a patient’s handkerchief and hearing the coughing from another on her way in actually made her grimace, despite trying not to. the door creaking open snaps her out of her thoughts, surprise appearing on her expression when she sees robby. a half-hearted grin parts her chapped lips and she finally pulls her long brown hair out of her collar, and quickly snaps a pair of sterile gloves on both hands. an acknowledging nod is then sent to the doctor in front of her as she inhales deeply. nervously.

Jack said to Samira, "You don't seem quite yourself."

Samira doesn't jump at Jack's voice. She is far too focused on the coffee pot slowly filling.

"Oh, uh," she does, however, startle slightly when she catches sight of him from the corner of her eye. "I'm... fine." Samira settles on.

It is objectively true. She's fine. Tired, but close enough to fine that it hardly matters. Of course, as if to mock her, her body betrays her with a poorly timed need to sniffle.

"Ugh," she groans. "It's just allergies, I swear." // @shiftchange

this is congressional rabbot for @shiftchange's birthday!

he's  just  cast  a  vote  for  his  husband.  it's  november,  2024.  jack  pushed  a  lever  behind  a  privacy  screen  in  their  local  library  and  he  sighs  in  relief  that  it's  done.  whatever  happens  tonight,  the  campaign  is  over.  sure,  it's  no  national  campaign  and  maybe  that  chaos  comes  later  in  their  lives.  jack's  damn  good  at  balancing  chaos.  who  knows  how  far  robby's  career  politics  can  take  him.  michael  has  brilliant  ideas,  a  wealth  of  knowledge  and  experience,  a  heart  of  gold.  and  jack.  he  has  jack.  he  always  has  jack.  people  respond  to  michael  when  he  talks.  he  comes  off  like  an  everyman,  because  he  is.  jack  sniffs  in  a  calming  breath. 

he  is  a  bit  alarmed  by  some  press  cameras,  backs  up  a  step,  and  turns  to  his  right.  grabs  robby's  forearm  in  his  calloused  hand  and  finds  a  camera  into  which  he  forms  a  smile.  ❝  isn't  he  incredible?  ❞  doctor  abbot  plays  off  of  one  of  the  media  people,  breaking  the  silence  that  began  simmering  when  jack  reacted  like  a  startled  cat.  something  about  hypervigilance  and  PTSD  in  public.  and  also  he's  autistic.  jack's  already  caused  one  incident  the  campaign  team  didn't  like,  and  that  was  when  his  aversion  to  fireworks  kept  michael  from  the  fourth  of  july  celebration  in  downtown  pittsburgh.  he  won't  let  that  be  another  story.  ❝  c'mon.  can't  solicit  votes  here,  cowboy.  ❞

summer had come to a close and fall was making it's entrance with the perfect breeze, despite being still a tad unseasonably warm. still, the leaves were turning colour and the boys were getting more and more excited about halloween. jj, however, more excited about pulling sweaters out of the back of her closet and a good apple crisp. henry and michael were a few paces ahead, taking a look at some of the booths, a petty zoo nearby. @shiftchange was beside her, matching strides as both trailed behind the boys. she tucks some hair behind her right ear before speaking,

"i'm sure there are other ways you could have spent your day off but i'd be lying ... if i didn't say i was glad you were able to make it. " she smiled, looking at him and then straight ahead to refocus gaze on the boys. " and thank you for being patient with them. " she gestured ahead.
