[ The video opens up and Alex is clearly standing inside a less-than-classy porn store and the camera is tilted just a little bit, because he's propped his Cuddlephone up against the cash register. If he's nervous, it doesn't show beyond the gesture of running his hand through his moppy curls before he speaks. ]

Hey, so...I'm Alex. I'm new here and I don't think I know...like anybody. Except you. [ He smirks and points at the camera and winks. ] You know who you are. [ The playful expression drops away again for something a little bit more serious as he continues. ]

Anyway, so...I tried to get a job at the local uh...toy store...but that shit was way too classy for a guy like me. And I got to thinking...it might be too classy for other people, too. It's intimidating, a little, right? Trying to buy sex toys in a shop that looks like you could get kicked out for wearing sweatpants or breaking something by accident?

Whatever, so I talked to, uh... [ He waves a hand in a fluttery gesture as he tries to recall the correct phrase. ] city officials or whatever and told them I'd be down to manage a new place if they wanted to, you know, put one somewhere. Their suggestion was that I take out a loan and open one myself, so...I said fuck it and I did. Shit gets done fast around here, so...

[ He picks up the camera and does a quick-ish pan of the store before propping the Cuddlephone back up against the register. ]

She ain't much, but she's open for business. Also! I'm hiring. So...you know. That's a thing. Come get paid a little over minimum wage to stand around having dildo fights and watching Netflix or whatever when there's no customers. I imagine it'll be a while before we get busy enough to, you know, not be doing that.

Any takers for the job? If not, hopefully at least I'll see some of you popping in. Help a guy out. It would really bruise a bro's pride to crash and burn at their first attempt to make an entrepreneur of themselves and you don't want to be a contributor to that, do you?

[ Cue the little grin that cuts dimples into his cheeks. ]

So I'll see you there. Here. Adult World. Come check it out. Deuces!

[ He salutes the camera then and the feed cuts. ]

some people like the more anonymous approach when it comes to filling the bedside drawer.
you might get more takers.

How different from the other store are your goods? Is it the same stuff only in a more relaxed environment?

Also would you be willing to have like, a bowl of free condoms or something at the counter? I’ve got them at the clinic, want to spread them around for people to use.

Cool. Maybe I’ll come visit, then

And that’s excellent. They’re totoally plain and standard! Just want to give any chance for people to protect themselves

I'm sorry...did you say dildo fights? Because I literally can't even think about anything else after hearing that. That's like....one of the best things I've ever heard.

Also, are there any qualifications for selling toys other than not being afraid of them because not gonna lie...no job, and my interest is piqued.

Also, I'm Sally, hi!

You're my favorite person of the day for that and that alone, just for the record. And I promise if I don't get the job I will not dildo fight in your store, even though it'd be really tempting after that raving review.

I think I might fit the bill there. I mean it's been a while since I used a cash register, so there might be some rust-brain going on, but the others are all boxes I tick.

Likewise and I definitely will, if for nothing else than to see your store, Alex!

Obviously you know how to rope 'em in. And while I can put my foot in my mouth my charm usually makes up for that, even in interviews, so! I probably got this, haha!

You keep selling it and I'm already on the hook! I'll totally stop by asap to apply, honestly. Gotta start somewhere, and a place like this sounds pretty great to re-enter the workforce after not having been in it in like...forever now.

I know exactly what you mean, actually. You seem like my kind of people, Alex. A man after my own funny bone!

Not quite. Not to be morbid and overshare - like I have been with everyone, actually - but I was dead for a few years. Kind of hard to work anywhere when you're a ghost and not everyone in the world can see you. Luckily, I am very much alive here...just for the reocrd.

[personal profile] passedthedoor 2018-03-28 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeah, I was legitimately dead. Being a ghost wasn't the worst thing ever, but it is kind of a big 'ol story....and it was pretty crazy not even gonna lie. And I'm not super shy about sharing it so if you're curious about how it works - and all that - totally not scared to share, on my part.
passedthedoor: (laughing fun cackle)

[personal profile] passedthedoor 2018-03-30 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I think that can be arranged! And, by the way, it's only sexual harassment if it's unwanted attention, last I checked and you seem way too cool for that kind of thing!

Tonight is all open and all your's. Got a place in mind or should we put our heads together?

[personal profile] passedthedoor 2018-04-02 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
I am pretty damn open.

And I like surprises, most of the time, so I'll see you at six-ish. And I'm looking forward to it.
