Ah, I might have to give it a try sometime then! Those kinds of games usually perk my interest every now and then, and I do play a few games like that, though I have never found the time to finish them.

Benjamin took the twenty, and pressed the button the register that opened up the drawer. He started grabbing the change, mouthing the numbers as he counted it out, to make sure that the register was correct with how much money was owed. Though, it wasn't too hard to do the math for something this simple, he still double checked the math out of habit. He handed over the money, and for the first time making eye contact with the customer, "No, thank you. I don't have the money to hire an assistant nor am I interested in hiring one." He pushed the book on the counter back towards the customer and then grabbed his own book and went back to reading his own book. He couldn't afford another person to be walking around the place, for more reasons than just not having the money to pay them. He wasn't going to risk someone getting themselves hurt because of the bookstore's habit of summoning weird creatures that could easily harm anyone in sight. He also was quite sure that he wasn't supposed to be showing people that he was a magician, though he wasn't quite sure about the rules with that. The council never really explained all the rules to him before sticking him in this job.

Aiden looked at Jude for a moment, wondering what was so important about the whole situation, it happened a while ago. It wasn't like it was something that bad, and it was just a harmless prank. Aiden expected those kind of things out of the people that worked in the lab, some of them were rather childish. It didn't mean that they weren't bad at their jobs and it wasn't like it was an extremely terrible thing. Aiden shook his head, "I didn't tell my supervisor. I just washed off my face and went back to work. It wasn't that big of a problem and I didn't want to bother anyone with something that wasn't a huge issue." He wasn't exactly about to tell his head, who was busy with many other things about something that had happened where there were rarely any patients around anyway. The only people that used the lounge on his floor was the technicians, and there was a bathroom close by that Aiden had used to wash the sharpie off of his face.

"I would have told for him, but he was really adamant about not telling out supervisor, who is Aiden's mentor and best friend. He would have probably stopped it easily from happening again," Annie rolled her eyes.

Oh, how is that game? I haven't played anything in the series, but I'm thinking I might start playing those games, because of how much I keep hearing about it.

"It depends on the time of year," Benjamin muttered. "This is normal." He wasn't going to go into detail about what times the store was busy and during what time it wasn't. The store regularly had a few customers come around each day, some people would take this as a place to come after school to sit around quietly and read or do their homework before heading home. The store got particularly busy when the semesters for the college students were starting and ending, and during the winter the shop was a little more busy. Benjamin would even sell hot chocolate to the customers that were staying in the bookstore to read in the quiet bookstore. Benjamin had kept track of when things were going to get busy, so he could stay stocked on the books that needed to be ordered. He even made sure that he kept track of movies based off of books, and made sure that he had more of that particular book in stock when the movie got a lot of attention. He did try to make the customers that did come in satisfied, or at least get the book that they are looking for.

That's absolutely fine, mine's probably going to be short too.

Benjamin was just about to go back to his book when the next customer walked forward and sat the book down. "Afternoon," He replied to the man as he placed his book down once again. Gladly, there weren't that many people around today, and after this customer was on his way he could go back to his own reading. Though there was quiet a bit more he needed to worry about than just the customers interrupting his reading time. He had to worry about the fact that in a matter of moments the people in this shop could all be in complete danger and none of them knew that. He had to stay alert no matter what time of day it was and getting distracted by the customers that walked in was something that he wasn't so happy about. Not to mention, he didn't exactly like having to interact with so many people in a day. If he had been allowed to do what he had previously planned to do, there wouldn't even be a bookstore around. He didn't have a choice though, the landlord had specifically asked for someone to take control of the shop and keep it running. If there weren't the strange happenings that were going on with this shop, Benjamin wouldn't even be around it.

The store owner took the book and flipped to the back of it to see the price. "It's seven dollars," Benjamin muttered as he pressed in the amount on the cash register. "Will that be cash or credit?"

Mucinex does works wonders, I love that stuff when I get colds.

"Oh, hey, he's back already," Annie smiled spotting Jude walk towards them.

Aiden sighed heavily, he wasn't really looking forward to what this conversation was going to be like. He took a drink from the energy drink that Annie had bought for him and grimaced almost immediately after he finished. He hated the aftertaste that came with all energy drinks he's ever drank, but it would at least give him enough caffeine to make it for another hour or so. For always forcing himself to stay up so late, he did have a lot of issues with the fact that he hated most caffeinated drinks that would help him make it through the next day. He'd probably have to start sucking that up and stop being so picky about something of the sort if it was going to help him stay awake for the rest of the day. He was sure that it was quite unhealthy for him to do be drinking this stuff all the time, but he was pretty sure any caffeine was unhealthy when someone was using it everyday to stay awake. It was an addictive drug after all, and to abuse it wasn't something that Aiden really wanted to get into without making sure he'd completely pushed out every other option, like actually sleeping. Getting a full nights sleep would probably help him out a lot more than the caffeine would.

When Annie realized that Aiden had gone into deep thought again, she rolled her eyes, "Hey, Aiden, wake up."

Aiden took a sharp breath and looked back up at Annie, "Sorry. I...got distracted."

"Yeah, I could tell. Geez, I'd tell you to go take a nap in the lounge, but I'm afraid you'd end up getting your face drawn on again," Annie sighed, "Anyway, Jude, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself."
