| Madame Primpernelle's Beautifying Potions Step inside for a whiff of some of the best smelling beauty products around - at not a bad price either! |

04-09-2010, 02:08 AM
| | Primpernelle's Counter  The counter is located in the middle of the store, dividing the beauty care potions, located on the right side, from the beauty enhancement ones, located on the left side. It is decorated with small flower arrangements, a glass bowl filled with bonbons, business cards with the store’s contact information, a few magazines, including Witch Weekly and Rumours!, small brochures and pamphlets with coupons and special deals, and small flasks of fragrance samples. There are also two old fashioned cashiers, behind which you will always find the shopkeeper and/or her assistant. This is where you must make all your purchases or be publicly humiliated with a permanent jinx to the face for the rest of your life, if you decide to make the unfortunate decision to steal something. Currency conversion forms are also provided for those unfamiliar with magical currency. If you have any questions about a product, can’t find a certain potion, or are in dire need of immediate magical help for your beauty problems the shopkeeper or the assistant will be more than happy to help you. Of course, if you just want to strike up a conversation and share some juicy gossip that is okay too.  |

| First time customer woot! Ravenpuff | Cap'n Crunch | Bedtime Queen | O Minion, My Minion
With as much stealth as she could muster, Tiara Tyner hurriedly left the beauty care potions aisle, where she had grabbed anything that looked remotely helpful, and made her way to the counter. Not seeing any other customers in line, she unceremoniously dumped all five skin care products onto the counter.
She did a quick survey of what was there: one each of Old-No-More, Age Spot Removal, Witch Forever, Up, up, and STAY! and Warts Removal. Oh Merlin, this was awful. She began to dig in her money purse before any employee had even acknowledged her presence.

She began to dig in her money purse before any employee had even acknowledged her presence. Oh wow. This lady certainly was in a bit of a hurry. Very much so. She hadn't even been able to say hello but she was looking for her purse. Oh wow. Clearly the lady had somewhere else to be. At least she was buying some stuff though. That was all that mattered. "Good Morning." Ella did say though. Someone had to be nice and polite around here.
Picking up the items she carefully placed them into a bag, before ringing up the total. "That will be 26 sickles and 2 knuts please"

Picking up the items she carefully placed them into a bag, before ringing up the total. "That will be 26 sickles and 2 knuts please" The sound of someone's voice so close to her made Tiara jump a bit. " Morning," she said in a half-whisper- all the better to not be heard in case someone she knew was here. As she was about to look down to her purse again, she noticed a small sign advertising a special deal: 1 galleon 3 sickles for 5 skin care products. As the clerk began to put the things in a bag, Tiara did a quick count. Yes, she qualified. So that would be one gold galleon and 3 silver sickles... there.
Right as she was about to plunk the coins onto the counter, the clerk gave the total. Clearly one of them was wrong, but given the fact that Tiara wanted to be out of here as soon as possible, she wasn't about to argue. If any of her colleagues saw her in here... " Right, just a moment, then."

She laughed, shaking her head. Not very good. At least the woman had noticed the offer. Because well Ella didn't want to over charge people. "You're quite correct." And so that was the price she would pay.
As she waited for the customer to get the money, she placed the five items into a bag.

As she waited for the customer to get the money, she placed the five items into a bag. What? Oh, she must not have been crazy, then! Apparently her mental faculties really were returning to her. Because just a few weeks ago that seriously could have been a hallucination or something of the sort. However, her memory was still clearly not there, as she didn't remember saying anything about the price. Perhaps a trip to the apothecary was in order to stock up on jobberknoll feathers for memory potions after this. If she was correctly remembering the key ingredient, that is.
She put the coins back into her bag and dragged back out the combination she had started with. " There you are, young lady," she said as she handed over the money.

The lady was calling her young. Ella wasn't young. Well. She wasn't old either. But like she was in her 30's. So she was certain she wasn't that young. Ella did just smile at the lady, not feeling like correcting her. If people thought she was young then it was probably a good thing. "Thank you." She smiled, taking the money from her and popping into the till carefully. Taking the receipt she put it into the bag, before handing it over to the lady. "I hope you have a nice day"

Langen walked up to the counter, her arms full of beauty products. Of course the tall girl had been in here before, but that was only on special occasions or when she needed something for her sister. Which meant that the twenty year old wasn't exactly a regular customer at Madame Primpernelle's.
However, the beuaty care items in her hand and the desperate look for coffee or a Butterbeer in her mocha eyes showed that the woman wasn't exactly here for a random pit stop either. Both of the Rather's siblings decided they needed a little something-something, and since Victoria was lazy as a sloth and barely had a penny to her name, all of the responsibility fell on the brunette.
Seeing as how there was no line, the tan girl placed all of the items on the counter, making sure nothing dropped and simultaneously looking to make sure she had everything. Snow White Skin, Bronze potion thing, Dark eye thing, pimple remover thing, eyelash thing and the hair growth thing. perfect. That was the whole list. Now came the matter of actually paying for all of the items and getting something for her sisters birthday.
"Hello. I'd like to buy all of this." Literally ~she~ would like to buy all of it. Her sister contributed nothing to the budget. And because it was her birthday and her sister loved buying things, the athletic looking girl got an idea out of the blue. Man, sometimes these things came in like wrecking balls. And then sometimes you had no ideas whatsoever.
"And a coupon please." That was all thank you. She was already spending more money than she would've liked in this store, and the ministry worker still had to book a room at the Leaky Cauldron and finish her shopping before her mother came home from Paris. Uggh, it seemed like every old person in London was going there these days. Even her friend's parents were in Paris together with her elders. Digging the coin purse out of the pocket of her violet colored shorts, the brown haired girl smiled and waited to hear how much all of this till would cost her.

Digging the coin purse out of the pocket of her violet colored shorts, the brown haired girl smiled and waited to hear how much all of this till would cost her. She had just taken out a new box of nail colours when a customer appeared at her counter "Hello" she said brightly, taking the items one at a time and bagging them up. It had been a fairly slow day so it was nice to finally have a customer! "Nice choices" she said brightly to the woman. She really enjoyed the company even if it were just for a few minutes in the shop. Having lost Frederick recently had been hard and she'd been pretty much staying to herself lately. Though Becca and Gid and the kids had been trying to get her out of her shell.
"Which coupon were you looking at?" she asked, "20% off a purchase, day at the spa or for something in particular?" She could do one up as easily as a flick of her wand and for pretty much anything. Figuring she'd just go with an even 5 galleons for the products she had there on the counter, and unless the coupon was for a free day at the spa for someone or a free gift, she could just get the coupon for free.

"Kaaaaaaat?" Becca called out in her sweetest voice as she approached the counter. "Kitty Kaaaat?" The red-head leant against the counter and smiled sweetly.

Kat appeared from the backroom when she heard Becca's voice and stared at her now when she said Kitty Kat. "Uhhh, hey Becca, how are you?" Kitty Kat? Oh merlin, she and Gid were going for a month weren't they? Could she beg for Zach to help with the kids? No....she wasn't looking forward to that!

"I'm good thanks, you?" she beamed at her and shook her hair out of her face as she settled her hands on the black folder she had laid on the counter now.

"I'm good too" she said with a bright smile, still thinking in the back of her head about watching the kids for a month. She really hoped she was wrong. "Is there anything I can do for you? Or were you offering to take me to lunch?" she asked teasingly.

"But my main reason for coming in is because of the Minister elections. I was hoping you'd put up my campaign poster?" she asked softly, not wanting to push her.

"I would love to" she said laughing as well "I haven't seen you in ages." OH THANK MERLIN! "No watching kids for a month then?" she asked with a laugh shaking her head "Of course you can put it up in the window. I believe you're the first one to ask that."

You should come over more often." Mhmm! Becca snorted at Kat's question and shook her head. "No. I've got a campaign to run and Warren's my manager, so... No rest for the wicked." She beamed at Kat's response and opened the folder. "Wanna see?"

"I definitely should." she said with a smile. "Maybe I'll plan it this weekend?" She grinned a little and shrugged "Well it keeps you busy I'm sure. Honestly if you need someone to watch the kids just let me know." Just not a month please! "I'd love to!" she moved closer to take a look.

"You really should. I'll do dinner for us both!" she beamed at her and nodded at the mention of it keeping her busy. "It's so nice to have something to do after just being around the house for so long." Becca shrugged now and nodded at the comment about the kids. "Thanks." Opening the folder, she showed Kat the poster and watched her expression.

She smiled at that "Sounds like a plan." she said beaming at her and nodded in understanding "I can imagine. You've been cooped up long enough, time to spread your wings and fly again. She studied the poster that Becca took out, "It looks fantastic! Did you do this yourself?" she asked, knowing it couldn't be Warren or Gid.

"Mhmm, and you can stay the night too, if you want." Yep! "Oh, I know. I'm going crazy in the house and I've rearranged things so many times that Gid comes home every night wondering what has changed." It was really fun making him work it out sometimes. "Mhmm! With all that free time." she nodded to her, letting her take the poster if she wanted to.

She snorted with laughter at her saying about Gid coming home wondering what had changed "Oh I bet that was fun watching him find it." HAH! "It's gorgeous, brilliant job on it." she said beaming and taking the poster, "We'll hang it up right now."

"It is." she laughed. "I love making him work out what I've changed that day." Her eyes followed Kat as she took the poster. "Thank you!" YAY! This was getting underway now!

She snorted again and shook her head "So I'll put this up and we go for lunch?" she asked smiling her way as she moved to pin it so everyone would see the poster.

"Nope, that's still on my list." she beamed at Kat and moved over to the door happily.
