Harvey's Hardware, for all your pipe bomb needs [OPEN]

Harvey's Hardware seems like a perfectly innocuous establishment in the southwest corner of Ealing. Old, not terribly well taken care of, but stocked to the brim with a huge assortment of tools and supplies of varying quality (and age). When was the last time anyone came to inspect this place?

Regardless, upon stepping inside you'll find no one named Harvey on the property at all. Instead there's a surly young man behind the counter, someone who looks both tired and wholly too alert at the same time, armed with a thermos of coffee, a stack of manuals on fixing god knows what, and a book of Gaelic poetry.

[A]

Maybe you're just perusing the shelves, minding your own business, when you hear a voice from the till: "Loitering's prohibited. There's a sign outside that says so. If you need something specific, ask." Rude tactic but you'd be amazed at how much product Sasuke can move out of this place by being pushy.

[B]

Maybe instead you were lured in by the sign in the window that advertises a 'buy one get one free' deal on all items of equivalent value in the store. Maybe you even went so far as to ask about the promotion. The answer?

"That sign is from 2009. The guy that worked here before me glued it on instead of affixing it normally. The boss found out last year when he tried to remove it, and that's why he isn't here anymore." All that to say... "That deal's invalid. No discounts."

[C]

Or maybe you're just here to ask for recommendations or buy some hardware. Up to you! Feel free to message me if you have something specific in mind that you want set up.

"It's okay. You can just call me if ya get lonely or something." Not like that was going to ever happen. Ha ha ha yeah.

"So do I get a receipt?"
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: excite)

"If ya don't mind." Maybe he'd run the sample past a handwriting expert or something and they would recoil in horror as they realized the receipt could only have been written by some tsun jerk.
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: hehe)

Gross, he could feel how perfect it was. Maybe he'd frame it instead, as some kind of terrible monument to loneliness and birds. Maybe he'd stick a cat sticker on it every Christmas.

"Nope, that's it! See you around, yeah?"
detectiveofthewest: (Heiji: just between you and me ♥)

I'll finish you simultaneously idk what that means

Heiji waved in acknowledgment, picked up his things, and made his way out of the store.
