(Open) But Why Tho [Backdated to Early November, Hybrid Log/Network]

[infrastructured]

Who: Steven and YOU!
When: Throughout November
Where: Around town, mostly in shops.
Summary: Steven tries to figure out why Black Friday starts before Thanksgiving now
Warnings: Whining

It's bizarre. The flyers come non-stop. There's not any other active apocalypse, but this is suspicious, so this MAY require some investigation... And for once he has time.

Steven spends the weeks leading up to Turkey Day investigating stores. Seeing standees. He doesn't buy anything he doesn't really need, because this is bizarre even for this place.

Why the everloving fuck is Black Friday starting early?!

He'll ask anyone even marginally familiar he bumps into. "Hey, is this.... normal?"

Would that it were so easy. How do you manage?

[cacophonish]

i get by with music and odd jobs when i need em

think about it! no rent or bills here. foods easy to get if you know where to look. used clothes are cheap. pretty much the only thing i need $$ for is gear

[ Annnnnd drugs, but at least he's not going to say that out in the open! ]

all this black friday holiday shopping crap is a scam

What kind of music?

I agree, but why is it a month long now? One day of people dying at Walmart was enough!

[cacophonish]

i guess like alt rock. i liked to go for a kinda experimental sound back home, some neopsychedelic flavor... but ive had to adapt here now that im solo! so im trying out a more folk sound

wait what people seriously die? i dont remember it ever being THAT bad

[ Ah the Black Fridays of the 90s were a simpler time. Jeff even predates the Tickle Me Elmo fiasco... ]
