[Open] Evening, Grocery Store

[windupgadget]

She didn't mean to cause trouble - honestly.

But that didn't faze the fact she was standing in the middle of a decimated aisle, boxes of pastas scattered and squashed across the floor, alongside a couple groaning, rising shoppers. Or a cart had toppled over behind her, blocking her way out. Not that she was trying to escape, but the victims of this mess didn't even look at her when she tried to help them up, and just stood there, looking as confused as ever. Better yet, she could hear the tell-tale sounds of crashes in other parts of the store, making her flinch and duck passed the pair, making a break for it around the corner.

All she wanted was to pick up a few things she usually missed!

One step out of the danger zone, and she's jerking back around the corner. Whoever that was sounded vaguely familiar-

Ah.

"-sorry, there was a cart collision... Half the stuff's on the floor."

"So I've noticed."

He leaned down and picked up one of the boxes. "Is this penne rigatoni by any chance?"

[windupgadget]

-well at least he was taking it well. But then, who did react to trouble around here?

She stalls, making sure no one's about to run into her again, before coming over to read the box herself. "Yup- But don't take that one, it's busted open."

Surely there's another one around her she can grab... Ironically one still on the shelf.

[grandvision]

"Thanks." He takes the box and sticks it in his basket. "Do you work here?"

[windupgadget]

"No- I was just trying to get a dinner together." Looking around at the damage done one last time, she sticks the remaining broken boxes in a pile on the shelf - still spilling - and makes a move to walk out of the danger zone.

"I think I'll get take out."

[grandvision]

Russ gets a feel for the situation with his can and grins. "That would probably be a good idea."

She gives a weary nod- before thinking to speak up.

"I need to see if I can find any staff."
