all jobs is bad
Who: Lars and whoever! OPENNN
What: Rampant mundanity.
Where: Around the carnival; rides and food court specifically; then his own trailer!
When: Mid day, dusk, and early evening
Warnings: Lars's potty mouth.
on shift; mid day
Lars leans back against the box that operates the ride he's stationed at—carefully, so as to not accidentally bump any knobs or whatever, but enough to take some pressure off his feet. He stares dully into the distance, feeling like his brain is going numb. And despite that, he still manages to look surly, his brows knit together.
This is only his second day on this job, as he'd racked up a handsome debt—one be was tempted to just bail on, because this carnival was clearly weird, sketchy supernatural bullshit. But it was clearly more fucked than he'd originally anticipated, so Lars was not eager to find out what would happen to him if he he didn't repay the debt (plus, the thought of home was too humiliating right now). He'd probably be cursed, he decided. People were freaky around this place—especially the other carnival workers, which he hadn't put a lot of thought into. Until today, really, during this long lull.
Groaning, Lars rolls his head wayyy back, his chin facing the sky as his posture melts backwards against the console, one of his feet slipping forward as he sinks—oblivious to any recent approachers, absorbed as he is in his own angst. Why did all this lame spooky crap always happen to him?
after work; dusk
Somehow, this job was even more boring than what he did at home. Even if he and his coworker in Beach City weren't always super talkative, even just having some company made it a little more bearable... Of course, sometimes they would flirt and goof off, which was also super helpful. Here, he couldn't even get any reception on his phone to pass the time—he would probably have to resort to reading a book like some kinda friggin' uncivilized caveman. Anyway, the drole of it all had Lars totally beat. He sits, hunched over one of the tables in the food court or the carnival, barely able to tuck his knees under it. He apathetically eats whatever garbage he'd purchased.
Once finished, he balls up the foil and greasy paper and tossed it blindly over his shoulder. This, of course, unfortunately bops your character on the head. Wrong place, wrong time.
at "home"; evening - closed to Kadin
With needlessly dramatic flourish, Lars throws open the door to their trailer. "Ugh!!"
Somewhat clumsily, Lars attempts to heel off his right hi-top sneaker. He stumbles, growls, and gains balance by flattening his palm against the wall near the door. "This place sucks!! Watchin' paint dry would be funner than takin' tickets, watchin' all those weirdos waddlin' around..."
Lars honestly doesn't even know if Kadin is home, when he enters; the yelling just kind of happens immediately. A natural reflex.

"What's your name?" he asks suddenly, tone still serious, uncharacteristically so.
no subject
but i care about it
"On Alternia we have this saying, if you own the crap out of something you'll still pay for it someway. Try to remember that your actions have consequences."
lars's resume under special skills: needlessly making enemies
"I'm already aware of that," Lars answers, gesturing to the carnival grandly—though his expression remains sour and dead pan. "I'm livin' that reality as we speak, candycorn. Lessons learned. I'm wiser every day." He flops back against the console table petulantly, crossing his arms again. "Anything else?"
not enemies yet!
"Yeah, if you need anything from me don't hesitate to ask!"
a miracle
"Uh, yyyyeah," he says flatly. "Sure, right. And how would I do that?"
no subject
He shows them to Lars, just in case he doesn't have that information.
"I can fly," he remarks, wings buzzing briefly behind him. "So I can usually get places pretty quick."
no subject
As if Lars cooks. Ha ha.
He grabs his radio from where it's hooked on his belt loop, and squints at it, "Guess I should prolly play around with this thing—get to know it a lil better."
no subject
"Yeah, the radio's are pretty important. It's basically your connection to everyone else in the carnival. Like a social network site, but minus the boring parts.

"Good." The other people would probably know who he meant if that was the case, after all, he was the only person at the carnival with horns this amazing.
"Don't forget, sell it!" But his wings are already buzzing behind him if he moves back for take-off. He'll probably check on Lars later on during the day. If he still seems to be slacking he'll worry about it then.
"See ya Larry!"
