[Open] He didn't ask for this
WHO: Squall + you?
WHAT: There's a little bird named Boko. Also setting up for Premium Foods drama.
WHERE: Dorms + Premium Foods
WHEN: August 2 onward
WARNINGS: Shady and terrible retail working conditions?
A) Chasing after a bird (Dorms - August 2 and the week following that)
After the confusion that is waking up to a tiny chocobo delivery at his door and discovering Nida's aversion to chocobos in general, Squall is now having a wonderful time trying to figure out what to do with a chicobo.
Spoilers: He has no freaking clue.
Fun fact 1: Boko does not like being indoors.
Fun fact 2: He is very good at escaping.
So there is a barely knee-high yellow bird stalking you today, pecking at your shins, jumping onto the communal kitchen counter, blocking your view of the TV, being cute and making noises along the lines of 'wark' and 'kweh'. Quickly followed by a tall exasperated teenager rushing in to snatch up the bird, muttering something along the lines of "No!" or "Sorry." and awkwardly holding the struggling bird.
Sometimes Boko just breaks free or dodges and there's a chase scene. Squall is not having a good start to the month.
B) Premium Foods is evil (Aug 2) - Setting up! Feel free to skip to the tag options.
Thanks to Boko's surprise appearance, Squall is late for work for the first time that month. An action that will prove to be a bigger problem than expected as his supervisor walks up to him while he's working on cashier lane 5. The conversation is quiet but there's a sense of growing annoyance from the way Squall frowns at him.
Squall shoves the cashier box shut with a satisfying whoosh of rattling coins and metal.
"I quit." His contract is up tomorrow anyway.
"If that's how you feel, we'll be in touch with our lawyers." The supervisor continues to look smug. The explanation that follows along the lines of Squall violating the contract by being late, Premium Foods requiring compensation for the alleged loss of revenue in that time, and the stupid amount they could sue Squall for over it.
Squall goes deathly quiet and turns off the light to his counter to close the lane. "I'm going to count the stock," he announces and walks off, ignoring the passive aggressive complaints from the customers who are waiting.
B1) Angry stocking
Squall can be found in one of the aisles moving items around, squeezing them too tightly, and slamming them down with way more force than necessary. He's lost in his thoughts until a particularly hard slam of a bottle sends ketchup flying everywhere.
Hopefully no one's nearby to catch that.
B2) Angry trashing
Clean up, throwing out expired stock... They're an occasional part of his duties. It's while he's hauling the last giant bag of trash into the dumpster on the far side of the store that the bag rips.
Squall just stares at the mess by his feet and very pointedly kicks the dumpster hard enough to leave a slight dent. He seriously just wants to go home, and he's not talking about the dorms.
((OOC: I forgot to add but Premium Foods is basically a high-end grocery chain that's about as snobbish as it gets.))

"They do. But I want to get out of it. If I figure it out, I can let you know."
no subject
"Sure." More angry mopping. "Mine's supposed to end next week. My supervisor claims I broke the contract so I'm stuck until they say otherwise."
no subject
"That hardly sounds legal. You might want to look for a lawyer."
no subject
"Maybe..." He thinks they'll just screw him over too though.
no subject
Just a friendly bit of advice. But he does finish cleaning up the area he's been working on, and sets his dirtied paper towels into his basket.
"I won't tell them what caused the spill I used these on. Try and be quick. I don't think you deserve the trouble."
no subject
He focuses on getting at the rest of the mess and tosses the mop back into the cart. It didn't take long thankfully.
"I don't care." He doesn't think they can do worse to him. He looks at David's opened packet and moves to grab it. "Get a fresh pack. I'll take this to the break room." His level of giving a fuck is rapidly dwindling to zero. He has no need for loyalty here.
no subject
"Good luck with the work."
no subject
He's grateful for the kindness if nothing else.
