HELEN'S HOUNDS
"Hey, Seven!!! Are you in here?"
Seven looks up from his station, sighing. "Hey, if i'm stuck back here, the least you can do is wait outs-"
"Oh, hey, Helen. What's up, you doing ok?"
"Oh yeah for sure! The plays here are super funny to watch."
"Even if my birdwatching has been ruined, it's ok, because there's other things to do!"
"I do have a question to ask......."
"Do you have any of those black eyegret plushies? I only saw the white one this morning."
"What!? Who fucked up your bird thing, was it that O-class you keep hanging out with, or who?"
"If you need me to mess somebody up- er..."
"P-plush? Uh. I think so? I've got ways of making more, if you want one, yeah."
"Oh no, Mister Classless Seven didn't do anything."
"It's just that I saw the black version of the plushy and was.....wondering....."
"If I could have one too!"
"I'd love to see how you make more of them!"
"Aaallright. Sorry, y'know how I feel about him- I know we talked about this, uh. Yeah."
"Nevermind. Yeah babe, i've got you. Just hold on right here, right?"
("If I can... remember how to do this.") Seven slinks away from his desk, rummaging around for the blue and red orb Tabletop had left for him.
"So you use your, uh. This container. And then the ball. Right? Hold on, I just did this last night..." He puts the prototype toy inside, and waits. He seems unsure.

From the blue and red orb, 100 more items pour out.

"No way, Seven has been around for way too long. We'll figure something out."
"Woah! That's amazing! Where did you learn how to do that?"
"Haha, dope! Told you it'd work, I knew it'd work..."
"Helen, are you ok over here? :U"
"My pal Tabletop helped me out with this one. Dunno where he got them, but..."
"Ah, greetings, Seven. :V"
"Tabletop?......."
"Uh, yeah. Larp's kid. Or whatever..." Seven hesitates when the notail announces himself.
"...You know, knocking helps. But whatever, let yourself in."
"Oh yeah, Tabletop! Sorry I forgot his name."
"Last time I saw him, he was sooooooo small. I wonder how he's doing now."
"I do not need to knock. I was merely following Helen to make sure she was ok. :V"
"Oh wow, that's cool. Didn't know you started working here too. C'mon in, not like I can stop you..."

"Yeah, Helen's fine, not like she's in danger over here or anything. She just wanted a toy, I make the toys."
"No need to be on the defensive. I was not accusing you of engaging in any actions that would harm Helen. I am just saying, you cannot be sure some murderer didn't break into your workshop and was lying in wait for the next customer to walk in. =U"
Helen is too focused on the orb.....
"Oh, sure, don't worry, I keep this place n' what matters good and safe from murderers. How's that boyfriend of yours doing, by the way? Any plans on him showing up again?"
"................................................................."
"I'd appreciate a heads-up."
"Listen here you foul-mouthed imbecile. O-6 and I are not dating."
"He has other people in his life...."
"But how thoughtful of you to aim for below the belt, you inbred vagrant. How have the streets been, seeing as you struggle to keep every job you attempt. :V"
"Uh....."
"'Least I see the sun more than once a decade, you fuckin' gun-loving boot boy-"
"At least my bed isn't-"
"Seven come with me."
"Ah, I-"
"Other Seven...."
"What? Aw, dude-"

"We just need to have a quick chat....It's not...that serious." Helen leads Seven outside of the shop.
"..................................." CL-7 looks at the abandoned orb.
"Uh, Seven are you ok? I don't think his comment was towards you! Honest. He doesn't know anything about you know...."
"It's not that. Even if he did, who gives a shit anymore? He- he just isn't good for you, Hel!"
"He almost shot you! For that fucking cop! And how many times has he gotten you sick..."
"Plus, you're... acting weird lately. Like you are sick, breaking shit all paranoid-like. I'm just worried 'bout you, yanno?"
"Seven he didn't shoot me. Admittedly I would have preferred to not be in that situation....."

"He's dealing with a past that haunts him too, you know?"
"I know neither of you would ever hurt me."

Helen hopes.
"It just...feels like this isn't about me getting hurt."
"...................Man..."
"I guess I have been acting different...."
"But it's only because I'm having fun going on all these adventures!"
"Me and Mister CL-7 bump into them all the time!"
"Hate it when you're right... yeah. I get it, he has his own shit going on. But he shoulda knocked! I don't tolerate people who treat service workers poorly."
"As long as you're happy, alright? Just stay safe with him. I'll tell you what."

"You keep breakin' all the shit you want, I've got that thing in the back that makes another just in case, uh-huh? So you can keep on doing your thing, lil' lady."
He presents her one of the spare Eyegret plushies he'd been fear-gripping for the entire conversation.
"I sure will keep breaking things!"
"Actually maybe I should avoid doing that. I think I got a little too excited about breaking flower pots...."
"They just make some really awesome noise!"
"If you ever want to come with us Seven, you can!"
"I heard you might happen to know a master at breaking things!"
"Pssh, you mean you? I recommend windows. Really nice crunch to those guys."
"I'll consider it, maybe after work. I'm just buying shit from the hobby store and painting it, it's fucking awesome."

"Seven, I know Mr. Seventh is scary but there is nothing to be scared of. He is a big happy boy."

"......"
"..........................This is the dog you meant...right?"

"Christ, my heart. You're just too good at this." He leans down and gives her a pat on the head. And then the bug.

"Yeah, hey, make sure to go tell Classless-7 "sorry i almost bit you" for me. Don't you guys got, uh, poetry to write or somethin'?"
"Poetry is boring, we're going to catch some birds! See you Seven. Stay safe ok?" Helen tackle hugs Seven.
Inside the store, CL-7 approaches the orb. But before he can get his hands on it-
"Hoo hoo! Looks like Seven left our tools out."
"Greetings sir, do you need something? We have a lot of new items in stock today."
CL-7 digs his hand into his pocket. He briefly hovers over his gun, before grabbing his wallet instead and pulling it out, offering it to the hohun shopkeeper. "I would like to buy your device. I saw what wonders it can do. :U"
"Oh hohohoho! Sorry sir, but it's not for sale!"
"With something like this, why I'm quite set for life. I can't think of anything you can offer that'll cover this amazing object. It's priceless!"
"Is that so? :V"
In a trancelike state, CL-7 grips his gun before his focus is broken by the call of Helen. He stuffs his wallet back into his pocket and turns to leave. "I'll see if I can find an offer that'll change your mind. =V"
"Good luck. Hoo hoo hoo!"
