The Night That Huge Guy Came In
Date of Scene: 12 March 2018
Location: Unknown
Synopsis: Summary needed
Cast of Characters: Jubilee, Juggernaut




Jubilee has posed:
It begins a night like any other. Jubilee sits on a register counter, dressed in nothing whatsoever that indicates that she works for the store. A blue t-shirt with a unicorn that reads "Always Be You," and a pair of jeans, and of course her pink Converse sneakers. She's tapping away on her phone, playing a game with insanely annoying music, and swinging her feet. The thud-thud of her heels hitting the drawer beneath the counter isn't even in time with the music. She blows a slow pink bubble, lets it pop, and adjusts the goggles atop her head. It's a slow night at Spatula City. It's always a slow night at Spatula City.

Juggernaut has posed:
Does Cain need a spatula? No, not really. But he's passed this place by a number of times since coming to town, and finally his curiosity got the better of him. The massive man (currently around nine feet tall) steps through the front doors of Spatula City and glances around. He's not in his armor of course. He's wearing a normal red tee and a pair of gray jeans, red boots on his feet. Probably all custom made, cause he has enough muscle to start his own wrestling league. Huh. Yeah. Looks like just spatulas, doesn't it? His gaze wanders over to the registers, and he spots apparently the only person there right now sitting on a counter. He considers her for a time. Hmm, cute. Then he's making his way over to where she's texting.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee begins her monotone spiel, only looking up as she almost finished. "Welcome to Spatula City. We sell spatulas, and--HOLY SHIT." This is the biggest guy Jubilee has ever seen that didn't dress like some sort of lame villain on the Power Rangers. She blows a big bubble and pops it loudly. "Uh, can I help you, very giant Sir?"

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut raises a brow at the reaction form the vampire (Not that he knows she's one), his lips twitching into a little smirk. He gets that sometimes. "Nice to meet you too, darlin." His voice is as deep as you'd expect from the rest of him. He rests a hand on the counter and leans. This brings him.... closeish to her, but not TOO close. "I dunno. What is it you guys sell here?" His expression becomes studietly bland as he asks that. It's hard to see if he's genuinely asking, or thinks it's funny.

Jubilee has posed:
"W-we sell..." Jubilee loses her train of thought, and looks around to refresh her memory. "Spatulas...and that's all." She gives a nod of reassurance and hops down off the counter. "You're gonna want our big and tall section. Back here on aisle 4." She helpfully trots back to the appointed aisle, knowing fully that she'll have to trot if she doesn't want to make him drag his feet. His legs are like as long as she is. "It's Sunday night, and we've got a flash sale goin' on. Take one, get one free. So basically pick out two if ya like 'em, and they're yours. Because screw Guido, he's still on a bender."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut straightens up. "Huh. Just spatulas, is it." He follows behind the much, much shorter girl as she leads the way to the big and tall section. "I've never heard of a 'big and tall' spactula section before." He glances around the store as they move, noting the many, many kinds of spatula. "....guessing you don't get a lot of business, huh?" He walks at a relatively leisurely pace, but his long legs do indeed eat up the distance quickly.

Jubilee has posed:
"God no, this place is a front for the mob or somethin', I dunno. Guido takes petit cash and buys hookers on Friday but he's usually back by Sunday. It's godawful boring, and we can't keep a mascot cause the Guthries keep kidnapping him and leaving him in the middle of nowhere in his underwear. We're down to one spatula costume. Ah! Here we go, big and tall."

True to her word, there is a wall of spatulas that are anywhere from two to three feet in length. "Big ones...sm-uh...bigger ones..." She gestures like one of Barker's beauties. "Some as big as your head..."

Juggernaut has posed:
That causes the big mans brows to raise up in surprise. "Hunh. Are you suppossed to be telling me that, darlin? Seems like your bosses would want it to stay secret." A scratch at his chin. "Is his name seriously Guido?" The mention of the Guthries makes his lips twitch again. "Is that so. Guthries. Sounds oddly familiar for some reason." Then they arrive at the giant spatula wall, peering at the selction. "I think I'd need to go to the big and tall section of Frying Pan World to get one that some of these would fit into." He glances down at the casually dressed cashier, then finally offers a massive hand for a shake. "I'm Cain, by the way."

Jubilee has posed:
That is one ginormous hand, Mr. Cain." Jubilee shakes it with her own, teensy in comparison. "I'm Jubilation. Most everybody calls me Jubilee. Or stuff I can't repeat." She gives an offhanded shrug. "What's he gonna do, fire me? I'm the only one willing to work the night shift till midnight. Or pretty much any other time." At that she grins. "Wish we had giant frying pans. I'd make a me-sized pancake."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut nods his head. "Yeah, it can make hitting buttons a little hard." He enfolds her relatively tiny hand with it, shaking a few times. "Jubilee. That's a cute name. Suits you." He flashes a grin down at the Chinese-American girl. "Mmm. I guess he couldn't do his laundering if he didn't have you. Though... I thought people had to actually buy stuff for laundering to work." He shrugs a shoulder, then looks back to the frying pans. "Hmm...." Reaching out, he selects a particularly large one with a metal... food flippy part. He gives it a light swing. "Don't want to scratch up the surface on the ones with coatings though." He also grabs one that's plastic, putting them both in one hand. "You been working here for long, Jubilee?"

Jubilee has posed:
"Waaay too long," Jubilee replies. "Like three years. But it's not so bad. Especially when I give away so much stuff that Guido - yeah that's his real name - has to dig into his own pocket on hooker day." She smiles, her eyes pulsing for a fraction of a second from stormy blue-gray to a brilliant blue, and back again with glee. "He's a tool, but he pays well, and I prefer to work nights, especially at the moment." Nate's blood gave her the ability to walk in daylight, at least in limited doses. But she has gone hungry for weeks, and that not only means no sunlight, but limited exposure to people, lest she should lose control. "I guess I'm just a night owl."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut shakes his head. "Three years? And you're still sane? That's impressive. Too bad about Guido though. Hooker day can be hard on the wallet." He taps his shoulder with his two new spatulas, smiling back down at her. "As long as the pay is good, I guess. You must get bored as hell. Maybe I could take you out sometime, help liven things up." He has no trouble walking in the daylight! Heck, he'd probably be fine if somebody threw him into the sun. Other than... y'know. Being stuck in the sun. "I don't sleep much at night myself."

Jubilee has posed:
Instantly on her guard, Jubilee takes a step back. "T-take me out?" What has she done to tip him off? She's too young to die. "Th-that isn't necessary, I'll be good I promise!" She trots back up to the register and gets a big spatula-shaped bag, helpfully taking the spatulae from him and bagging them up. "I'm not like the rest, I swear it."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut steps back himself at this reaction, a confused look sliding over his features. "Huh?" He follows her with his eyes and then his feet as she heads back to the register. "The hell are you talking about, babe?" Standing nearby while she bags up the spatulas, he then takes her from them. "I'm hitting on you. I'd think you'd be used to that." He studies her curiously afterwards. "Not like the rest of what?"

Jubilee has posed:
"Oh....OH. N-no...." She giggles at his assertion. "Hitting on me...I'm more used to them hitting me, y'know. I'm a lil bit mouthy." Jubilee nods affirmtively. "Not like abusing me, more like just smackin--" There is no way to put it that won't make it sound worse than it is. "I annoy people."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut snorts a little. "Well, you're not annoying me so far. And trust me, that's not something everybody can claim." He reaches out with a huge hand, a single finger extending and lightly poking her on the nose. "Now... what say you answer me about what you mean by 'the rest'." He peers down at her intently with his own blue eyes.

Jubilee has posed:
"Y'know, like the rest that work here," Jubilee quickly replies. "Like Guido and the rest. Nope, I'm 100% on the up and up. Y'arent a cop are ya?" She smiles sweetly. "Cause if you are, we have cop spatulas."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut narrows his eyes a little at that. "Uh-huh." He studies her face for a time thoughtfully. Finally he shrugs. "Whatever. I don't really care about whatever it is your deal is." He smirks a little at the suggestion he mgiht be a cop. "Nope. Definetly not a cop." He fishes into a pocket, and pulls out a card before offering it to her. It has his name and number. No indication of whatever it is he does. "Though you really should let me take you out... I promise I won't slap you around, however annoying you might get."

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee stares at the card for a long moment, then nods slightly, taking the card. "I'll...keep it in mind, thanks Mr. Cain." She pockets the card politely and smiles. She would never offend a man of his size. "Till soon, then? I gotta lock up, myself, and get home. Cats will think I've abandoned them. Do have a spectacular night though. And be saf--ah look who I'm tellin'."

Juggernaut has posed:
Juggernaut has the feeling he's not going to get a call. But you never know, right? "Mmm. You're welcome, Jubilee." He shrugs a big shoulder then turns. "Yeah. I'll see you around. Maybe one of my spatulas will break and I'll have to come back." He winks at her. "You stay safe, too. If you ever need somebody to walk home with, let me know." Then he starts for the door out of the store.

Jubilee has posed:
Jubilee smiles and hopskips after him toward the door. "Thanks, you're the greatest! I'm sure I'll see ya round sooner than later. Have a fabulous night, and thank you for shopping with Spatula City, where we sell spatulas, and that's all!"
