"What can I do ya for?" she asked, just
a touch of sarcasm in her voice.
"What are you selling?" he asked.
"I'm sorry, sir. But you're too late for special offer." Rehteah started
to sniocker through her hand, but Xani didn't notice. "What offer are you
talking about?" Xani gave Kit the bags of fish and the fish food. "It's
a thank-you gift for all of our loyal customers." Kit scanned the fish food
and typed in the numbers for the fish. He noticed the two kittens purring
against her leg and asked "What are those?" "They're kittens. You see, I
found them in a burlap sack and decided to care for them."
Kit scanned
the aquarium and punched in a few extra taxes. "Okay, sir. "That will be
$111,000." Kit turned the screen around. "Oh, and you might want to get
them in the tank with in an hour." "Thanks for the warning." He replied
dryly as he gave her the check. Kit gave him the receipt.
"What the Hell
is *this*?!" He yelled as he stuck the reciept in his face. "Why, this is
a reciept, good sir. you see, you purchased a few items and you usually
get them when you-"
"Not that! *That!*" He said furiously as he pointed
out the bottom part. "Are you from around here?" "No, but I go to the same
school you do." "Then you pay the out-of-realm tax.
You were hassling people,
so you get the hassle tax. You asked way too many questions, so you get
the question tax. And I'm required to charge a sales tax for items over
ten dollars." Kit smiled sweetly to combat his 'storm over the horizon'
glare. Before Xanatos left, he asked Anthony, who was flirting with a blonde
woman with big, brown eyes "Are you Kit's supervisor?" "Yes." "I feel sorry
for you, having to keep a bratty little bitch like Kit in line." Kit glared
after him, before she looked through her card magic deck, until she found
five cards she liked. "Hmmm. They don't call it the 'storm over the horizon'
glare for nothing." Kit held five cards in her hand.
