Where'd that come from?

[asphaltcowgrrl]

I'm working on a fic for the first numbers challenge of the year. There's an inconsequential character aggravating an established character and, often in circumstances like this, I go with the first name that pops into my head. Which is usually the name of the artist I'm listening to, a character from a book I'm reading, whatever.

So, what's the name that just popped into my head?

VELMA.

Why, I don't even know. I haven't watched Scooby-Doo since the girls were little. And I haven't even seen any commercials for it lately. But WHAMMO, there it was.

I'm not calling her that, by the way. I'm going to go with Veronica, I think. But dang. I need a vacation. Hahaha.

He's wearing a white T-shirt. I can't quite see what else, but they're not jeans. He only throws on his uniform shirt over the T-shirt, unopened, if the big boss comes in. And he flirts with *everybody*.

(Same.)

They're khaki (sorry, Jake from State Farm) carpenter's pants. And he has the tools of his trade stashed in the loops and pockets. An ice cream scoop at his hip, a container of animal shaped sprinkles at the other, but those he holds in reserve for his special customers.

(I shouldn't be doing this at work, they're going to demand a drug test if I don't stop laughing... out here... all by myself.)

OMG HE DOES. He can pull out those sprinkles faster than a gunslinger in a quick draw.

LOL There'd better be a Hector-centric fic after this. ;)

I neeeed Hector in my life!

All our Baskin workers are teens.

Hahaha... maybe he'll surprise you and show up on your doorstep?

Sadly, they always are. This would have to be an independent, mom and pop store though. Hmm...

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

Hahahha maybe. With my luck (and schedule) I wouldn't be home.

Right? I feel oooold sometimes when I go there. Hmmm that sounds nice.

[asphaltcowgrrl.livejournal.com]

That'd be my luck, too.

Lately, that's me no matter where I go. LOL

[shanachie-quill.livejournal.com]

LOL yeah

I feel that. I will admit we have an inordinate amount of older people working retail. But ya know... work and all I see are kids.

And he is loved by all for it.

HECTOR: THE LEGEND OF COLDSTONE! Coming soon to a theater near you!

Or your inbox if I can get off my butt. LOL
