Hello my friend, I see you're back again  Hello mystery, don't bother to explain tags @chesh | notes Troublemakers unite :3 | muse '80s hair metal, oh, and Jack Reacher Ever since the day it had opened, Daniel had wanted to visit the Meow's Mayhem. A joke shop! Daniel's mischievous curiosity drew him to the place like a thirsty dog to water. So when today he had found himself bored and with nothing to do, he did what he usually did- wandered. But this wandering was different than his usual, aimless stroll- he had a purpose.
The little bell above the door jingled as he entered, and he had to duck to narrowly avoid a surprise jack-in-the-box hanging from the ceiling. For a moment he was scared, but he ended up laughing at himself. His white, lopsided smile grew on his face as he proceeded to glance around at the things lining the shelves. There was everything from poop soap, to trick water squirters that sprayed in the other person's face when you shook their hand, to things that made noise when you sat on them; really any gag gift you could imagine.
There was no one at the counter, so Daniel called, "Hello, anyone here?" |

music | Keith - others Keith was getting quite attached to his shop, it had seemed that nowadays he would be more likely to be seen in his shop than any other place, part of that made him sad. He enjoyed traveling and wished to do it more, perhaps he would visit the queen one day and surprise her. Perhaps take a few of his gags to try and make her smile. Yet he would also take her some of those roses she liked, just to show no ill will towards her. Keith was then pulled out of his thoughts when he heard the door bell ring. Looking up to the mirror that gave the perfect site to the front door, he saw a man who he knew from around the village, they really never actually met but he had seen him before. Taking this time to think of a plan the man, army crawled to the counter to not be seen, he then slipped on a monster mask and waited for the man to come closer to the front counter, this would be priceless if things played out how he thought they would. |

Hello my friend, I see you're back again Hello mystery, don't bother to explain tags @chesh | notes Troublemakers unite :3 | muse '80s hair metal Daniel wandered over to another display of things that caught his eye: impossible puzzles and Chinese finger traps. He took minute to study the products; they all looked fun and cleverly made. Perhaps if he bought one today, he could use it on someone... really getting them angry before showing the simple solution. Eh, maybe, maybe not- it would be just his luck, he could be even more confused than the one he was trying to trick. He chuckled a bit at the thought. Naah, simpler ways of generating humor was more his style.
A good two minutes passed before he thought to glance back toward the counter again. Hm. No one had showed up to man the register. That was odd. Had no one had heard him before? There had to be someone working. The door had been open, and the lights were on...
Hands stuffed casually in pockets, he went back over to the counter. There was a little bell on the desk that said "Ring for service." Well shucks. Why had he not seen that before? Ding Ding. It gave a cheery note when he tapped the little knob on top. |

music | Keith - others Waiting, watching, getting ready to pounce, this was the feline in him, watching his prey waiting for the perfect time to snag the prey. Yet this guy was generally interested in the shop stuff which was good, he needed more people in his shop. Thankfully the man noticed that no one was coming to the counter and decided to go up to it himself. When the bell rang Keith waited a short moment to draw the man's attention to the back. He then pounced in front of the man gorilla mask and all he even gave out his best evil monkey noises. He then took off the mask and smiled. "Welcome to the Meow's Mayhem." Keith was excited to see this guy, he didn't know why, but he expected that the two were cut from somewhat of the same cloth, Keith could normally tell when someone was into the types of things he was. |

Hello my friend, I see you're back again Hello mystery, don't bother to explain tags @chesh | notes Troublemakers unite :3 His gaze wandered to the door leading to the back of the shop. If anyone heard the bell, they would be emerging out that door any second.
Suddenly something popped up from behind the counter: a gorilla, with human eyes and a wicked smile. It roared and screeched at Daniel and leaped at him. Daniel's eyes bolted wide open; you could see the whites all the way around for a good eighth of an inch. Adrenaline rushed through his veins, and his first instinct was flight. The sound that came out of Daniel's mouth was laced with terror and fear, and sounded something like, "OHMY-AAAUGH!" He stepped backwards, stumbling and knocking over a small display. Then he fell onto his butt and crawled a little bit backwards, pushing aside little packets with coal in them.
Then the monkey took off his mask, revealing a man. In a moment Daniel got over his fear, and tried to calm his thumping heart down, slowing his breaths as well.
"Welcome to the Meow's Mayhem." The scarer said, smiling. Dan recognized him as Keith, the one who was always going around playing practical jokes on people. Only made sense he worked at the town joke shop.
"That was one heck of a welcome." An unexpected laugh burst from Daniel's throat. Well, now he had his share of excitement for the day... "Thanks. Sorry about the display." He turned and started picking things up, setting the table right side up again and collecting the packets from the floor. |

Pop Rocks | Keith - others Keith laughed, the reaction from the man was priceless. It almost made him feel bad that he had scared him that much, never mind, he was pleased that he scared the man that much. Setting the Mask under the counter, he walked around and helped pick up the pop rock packets off the floor. "I try to keep customers on their toes." The man said as he picked up a few packets and set them on the table. As the man said he was sorry about knocking over the display Keith laughed his deep laugh. "It's okay. Every good prankster knows you can't do everything without busting something up. I'm just glad you didn't swing." That Keith was truly grateful for. He didn't really like when people were scared so much that they came out swinging, though it was funny, it was also very painful. Taking a bag of Blue Berry Pop rocks the man opened up the package and smiled. "Feel free to take a pack of Poprocks, least I can do after almost giving you a heart attack." Keith then dumped a bit in his mouth and smiled at the noise it made. Keith had a soft spot for Pop rocks. |

Hello my friend, I see you're back again Hello mystery, don't bother to explain tags @chesh | notes Sorry that this took me so blasted long !! :c Daniel was still laughing; it was a miracle he even heard what the older man said. "Well that's one way to do it." he finished with the cleanup, making sure that everything was as it was, and moved back to the counter. "Thanks again. I hafta say, you're pretty good at that."
"Every good prankster knows you can't do everything without busting something up. I'm just glad you didn't swing."
Dan's smile returned, wider this time. "Got that right. Yeah, I'm pretty glad that I didn't punch anything, either." He couldn't resist glancing down at his hand for a moment; he could have split it open on the counter or a foreign object, and that would have been incredibly painful. Worse yet, he could have punched Keith. Good thing that he wasn't a punching man when surprised.
Then the jokester took out a box of Pop Rock packs. Dan smiled and took one almost immediately. He liked them, too. He and Keith truly thought alike. Ripping the pack open, he dumped a mouthful in and savored the electric flavor and then the popping that started soon after.
"So, what are some of your favorite things to use around here?" Daniel asked after a while, shoving the candy into his cheek, smiling, and gesturing to the shelves full of funny knick-knacks. |
