Tim gave the place a quick once over. He had to admit, the initial entrance was a little...overwhelming, to be completely honest. With the way Sophia had been talking it up, he was sort of expecting an incredibly crazy and complex series of shelving units and overall complete craziness. And yes, the craziness was there, but it was much more than he was mentally prepared for.

He was met with something that seemed to have exploded out of a ten year old's brain and into reality. Bright colors splashed against the walls, the floors, the shelves, everywhere. IT somehow seemed to be futuristic, far too advanced for the world it was currently in, seemingly alien, almost. You couldn't tell where the shelves ended and the candy began, Everything seemed to be one with the other.

The store was sleepy that day. There were no other customers in the store, which Tim thought was a little strange. Maybe everyone was out, busy, etc. Sophia had abandoned Tim by this point. Not on purpose, of course, but in her excitment, she was unable to stop herself from rushing to the oppsite end of the store. And could he really blame her? It was pretty fucking extraordinary. He crossed his arms, breathing in sharply before exhaling loudly. He looked over towards the counter, trying his hardest to fit into the store, blend into his surroundings. The only other person in the store was the clerk, who was a tired looking teenager, leaning on the counter, head resting on his hand as he mindlessly chewed at some sort of licorice rope, scrolling through his phone as he did so. His nametag read: 

[i]Hello, my name is JON.[/i]

He looked up, made eye contact with him, and gave him a warm, genuine smile.

"Hi there." He said, his voice tired, yet welcoming. "I havent seen you or your friend here before, so I'm guessin' you're new to this place, yeah?"

Tim gave a small nod, trying, and failing, to find the proper words.

"Thats totes fine." Jon said, sliding his phone into his back pocket. "I'.ve only been workin' here for, like, two months. I'm still new, too."

Tim chuckled a little, looking down, then back up. "Um, y-yeah?" He said, trying to converse with the kid. It was uncharted territory. "I, uh, I dont really come to this art of town, really. It's so secluded, y'know? MAkes me, um, uncomfortable."
