[ It's a slow day for the rain gear store. It's always a slow day for the store, because the weather almost never changes. It's a wonder how they even stayed in business before the colony flood happened. Even afterwards, business never quite picked up and stayed that way (save for the rush of purchases in preparation for a similar event), but that suits Edna just fine. Money's still money, and work is still work, however slow it may be, and it's a good break from her other job anyway. Most of their clientele is hydrophobic aliens and the occasional colony resident who wants to venture out to the jungle outside.

Leon has stepped into the store, and is neither a hydrophobic alien nor a jungle explorer. Therefore, today is already much more interesting than any other that has passed this week. Edna puts on her best apathetic store clerk voice to greet him at the door. ]

Hello and welcome to [ insert store name here ]. If you can see me, great. I'll be happy to help you with whatever questions you have about any items in stock. [ The enthusiasm in her voice is anemic as always. ] If you can't see me or you're here to return something, take it up with the cashier over there.

[ She points to where said cashier is, and she's...taking a nap on the counter. Okay. This is just routine at this point. Sad, sad routine. ]
