♕ |[ 89 ]| The book has already lived through its troubles

[had_not_lived]

I was going to ask this yesterday, but I thought I'd better wait until people were back to normal-- not that I'd have minded dealing with bears and cats and whatever else, it just seemed too complicated, making arrangements mid-curse.

I work at-- I should say, I run, a small used book-store. Billy used to run it with me, but since he went home it's just been me and Todd. It's always been a bit much with just two of us, but now-- well, it seems like the perfect time to look for some help.

So, if anyone's looking for a job, and would be interested-- Bilton and Scaggs is hiring.

I've been thinking, too... as if the store's not enough... I know we've never had trouble finding a place to rehearse or hold performances, but maybe we could start a proper theater for the City Players? I mean, not just somewhere to hold the plays, but a space for storing all the props and costumes and set pieces, too.

What do you think? Is it worth putting it together?

What exactly needs to be done?

[had_not_lived]

To tell the truth, I haven't looked around. Carrying anything that's left in the Opera House, of course, and trying to gather up any of the old costumes that're still around-- mostly, people took them home after the other plays, I think. And we'll have to see if there's a big enough space set up already.

I can carry stuff, at least.

Great! I'll let you know, then, when we've got it figured out and we're ready to start moving everything.
