| | | TerrorTours Service Desk The TerrorTours Service Desk is where you head to arrange payment for the holiday you book. While there is no cash register there is a safe in the back office where all funds are kept. This area is simply a desk with an in and out tray which is charmed to move things on its own, a ledger where the shopkeeper records details of the bookings. There are various other bits of stationary, inkwells, quills, and magical post it notes strewn about here and there.
Behind the desk there is a massive world map with different coloured push pins marking the various locations available for visit. There are also a wide variety pictures on hand to take a closer look at. There is an extravagant and extremely comfortable chair behind the desk which is where you can usually find the shopkeeper, and two chairs arranged in front of the desk for clients. A short distance away there is a rather comfy little waiting area for customers to use while they are waiting to be helped, or if they simply want to sit down and flip through a brochure. Please be sure to wait your turn and try not to shout and such while sitting about, please.
Ooc: please don't chat in this thread. Post here if you need to interract with the shopkeeper and purchase a holiday pack. If you want to chat and RP for fun with your friends, you can do that at the Brochure Display or in the Seating Area, or return to the North end of the street. |

She was pretty certain that she wouldn't be allowed to book a holiday without her parents being there. "I could help you, but I don't think you'd be able to book it without your parents being here..." she told her with a gentle smile. She wasn't totally keen on children but this one was only a firstie and the shopkeeper didn't have it in her to move her on or anything. "Where were you intending on going?" she asked. Selina smiled and responded, "It's for my mom and dad. But my Dad couldn't get out of the house today so here I am for him. And he said something about a two week trip to Greece with my mom in October. Is there anyway I could get that for him?"

| Coeus arranged and rearranged things about his service desk several times. Sighing slightly he turned in his spinny chair and stared at the world map... at the spot he knew to be Greece.
WHERE were the happy clients coming in to waste their money on an agent to book a trip? He needed to socialize, get to know people, make contacts. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ Really, he wasn't entirely sure if this was the best idea or if he should even be considering it. But as soon as he stepped through the door, he knew there was no backing out. For whatever reason, it was just something he had to do. Period. He could think on the ramifications and implications later.
With a tug to his sleeve and hesitancy in his step, he made his way over to the service desk, eyes ghosting over the surface as if he expected to see one of those little metal chime bells waiting use. Not really much of a need given the personnel sitting behind the desk looking rather....bored or perplexed, he couldn't very well tell. "....Excuse me...Sir?" Crossing fingers it was bored.

| OH! Coeus nearly toppled over backward in his chair when he heard someone speak. Righting himself very quickly he turned in the swivel seat and placed his best salesman smile on. "Hello, hello! Welcome! How may I be of assistance to YOU today, Mister...?" Co said in a chipper tone as he hopped out of the chair and moseyed over to the counter. |

Hogwarts RPG Name: Amur Neverwinter Fourth Year | ~ Rise and Rise Again, Until Lambs become Lions ~ O.o~!
Apparently he had interrupted some deep train of thought.
....Or not so deep.
In any case, he was relieved that the surprise wasn't accented with a crash. That would have been poor circumstance for starting off on business. "Sabel, Sir. Just Sabel."
Extend hand? Not extend hand? ....Extend hand. "I'm actually wondering if I could get some help planning a trip...for a friend..."

Extend hand? Not extend hand? ....Extend hand. "I'm actually wondering if I could get some help planning a trip...for a friend..." Gah. This guy was like... handsome and stuff. Strapping young lad. DIMPLES for days. He would be a great salesman... or conman. Just that look... he could reel them in.
Anywhoooo.
Coeus took the man's hand and shook it firmly and as he dropped it said with a smile, "Coues, actually. I don't like SIR. It makes me feel old. My son is the only one allowed to call me THAT."
OoooOOoooo a FRIEND. Was it a SPECIAL friend? He HAD to know. "Sooo... this friend... will you be accompanying him or her? Is it a special lady friend? These are, of course, important bits of info..." he said with an eyebrow waggle. Hehehe.
Coeus LOVED love... he wanted to CREATE it. So, if it was a romantic getaway he would pull out all the stops. |

The one thing he was going to have an extremely difficult time getting used to as an 'adult', was not calling anyone Sir or ma'am. That, was going to be very hard. So, Coeus it was. "A lady friend...yes." His brow knitted in a slight frown as he retracted his hand. "Best friend lady friend." Probably good for clarification. "And no...I won't be going with her. Just...for her and someone else." Hopefully that someone else was still present by the time this trip came about. Otherwise, he'd have to take some time off work and go break two gangly legs.

Well, at least he could make arrangements for a lovely trip for some other people. "So... a romantic getaway for two people then? Have a destination in mind?" he asked as he propped his elbows on the counter.
"And... tell me a bit about the lady friend. The more I know about the pair, the better I can arrange the trip for them. Suit it to their personalities," he said with a smile. |

Romantic getaway for Lexi and her partner? Sabel could feel his face flush at that. She would probably kill him a couple hundred different ways over if it was presented to her in such a manner. "It's....a graduation gift." Scratching the back of his head nervously, he chanced a glance about the store. "Just...congratulatory getaway. For her and whoever she wants to take along. And Fiji...she wants to go to Fiji."

AHAHAH. He was BLUSHING. Oh the poor boy was clearly not schooled in the ways of LOVE. Bless him. Coeus nodded his head at the manchild and gave him a small pat on the hand. Poor thing.
"She had a man, yes? Then it will be romantic... and Fiji. Oh. Nothing more spectacular than the firecrab migration. It's so lovely. She will love it. And if she no longer has this man... she will confess her love to YOU for sending her there to behold such beauty," he said in his thick accent. He was gesturing wildly as he grabbed up a brochure and handed it to him.
"On the Matuku Island there is a small wizarding community and a firecrab reserve. It's really quite lovely. Huts on the beach, lovely weather... there is always a way to get to the more populated, Muggle islands too," he went on with a smile.
He wondered JUST how much money this kid had... |

His eyes widened even more at the mention of professing love. Not again. He loved Lexi but he did not want to go through that again. "Just...a graduation present...please..." No more talk about love. Did he have to wave his hands in front of himself and --- oh brochure. Hello.
Blinking, he turned his eyes down to it, flipping it open. Firecrab migration? Did Lexi even like crabs? He had never thought to ask. "Sounds...really nice..." But firecrabs? Definitely hadn't seen that coming.

Graduation. Sure."
"NICE? The place holds such beauty that no other place on Earth possesses. She will love it. Trust me, I do this for a living. I have traveled to many places, seen the beauty of such wonders. I know what I am talking about," Co said. |

"And beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Just saying.
Shrugging his shoulders a little, he placed the brochure on the service desk, slowly tapping his fingers on top of it. "She graduates from Hogwarts in two years. She's been through hell and back. Through every heart break you can imagine. I just want this to be something nice. Something she can take at her convenience to escape and...remember who she is. How beautiful she is." His eyes went up to the salesman. "I want a place where she can see the beauty in herself."

| Coeus quirked his brows at the manchild and chuckled slightly. "And to each their own and all those other lovely quotes," he said lightly. Seriously. He KNEW what he was talking about.
Oh... he DID love the girl. It was so evident. The way he spoke about her... the way he cradled the words explaining her beauty to Coeus. He would have placed his hand over his heart, but clearly the young man was oblivious to his own love for her. Sad, sad thing.
Smiling slightly Coeus looked at the manchild and then back at the brochure. "Look at the beauty here. The beaches, the mountains... the forests. No one could go here and not see beauty in themselves and in this place. I think it is safe to say that in nature one is more apt to see their inner beauty. Is she from the city originally?" Coeus went on as he pointed out pictures with locals and tourists waving up from the pages.
He was good at his job. Heh. |

He was good at his job. Heh. Watching the expressions of the man was like watching a soap opera in slow motion. He couldn't figure out if it was unnerving or downright amusing. So he decided focusing on the pictures he was being shown was best. And he had to admit, the place was beautiful. "She's sort of....half and half." The best way to explain what he knew about Lexi. His eyes went up to the man again, head tilting. "Why do you ask?"

| Coeus chuckled and replied, "People from bustling cities tend to be totally awed by nature such as this... they enjoy it, but I don't think they ever really APPRECIATE it the way they should. Now, people from rural areas, they enjoy the peace and quiet, see the beauty in the small things... see the wonder in a brook or a mountain... the glory in a sunset." He made it all sound so romantic... he loved himself right then.
"You would be doing her a major favor by sending her to this... paradise after what you say she has been through. I would be grateful for a trip like this if I were she," he said with a nodnodnod. |

Even as Coeus spoke, Sabel found himself lost in the images. It was true, what he was saying. True and relatable. So much that he had to shake himself to bring him back from his thoughts.
With a small frown, he slipped his hand from the brochure and tucked it in his pocket. "I hope she will be." It was a risk, setting this up. But he really didn't know what else to do.

| Coeus actually huffed slightly and ROOOOOLLLLED his eyes at the manchild. "Seriously, trust me. This is what I DO. I know what I am talking about. Do you think I would have bought this place and dedicated my life to such a profession if I was crap at it. You insult my skill, sir." Really. He did.
The boy wouldn't admit that he CLEARLY loved the girl in question... he doubted his trip plan... SO RUDE.
"Now... we can make all of the arrangements today. You can pay now... and then I can send her the information now or when it is time for her to take the trip... what would you prefer... and we need to have a look at the packages to see what you can afford and what you would prefer for her," he said going into business mode now. |

Sabel's eyes went up to the man and he blinked rather rapidly. Insult? When did he manage to do that?
Oh...he forgot. It was an unintentional habit of his.
Letting out a slow breath, he folded the brochure up. "Meant no offense to you, Sir." Because now an apology deserved proper respect, no matter the man's preference on title. "If you knew her, you'd understand why I'm not one-hundred percent sure if this is a good idea to plan."
But if the man wanted to take it personally, that was his business. As for the money.... "She's graduating in two years...so I was hoping to just get an idea today." No sense telling Coeus he'd spent the past few days on benches before Damien found him. Money wasn't really something he was swimming in right now.

| Co waved off the apologies. "It's no matter. Water under the bridge, yes? Yes. You could tell me more about her... then I would understand," Coeus suggested as he motioned to the little seating area and rounded the counter and plopped into one of the plush armchairs.
He knitted his brows together for a moment and considered the boy. "Perhaps I can work out a deal with you... if money is an issue. It would just take a little... more information about how you feel about this lady." Smiiiiirk. He KNEW there was something more there and he wanted details. He loved love so much he had to hear it!! |

At first, Sabel followed him, glad that no fault was being held on either account. But as he continued talking, a frown began working its way onto his expression with each step. Only when he watched the man plop down in one of his seats did he realize what had the lack of comfort twisting in his gut. And it drew him to a dead halt.
That smirk and those words just didn't fit well together, in any situation. "I...appreciate the offer, Sir." Stiff with tension and anticipation, he took a step back away from the couches. "But I really need time to think on all this....wonderful information you have given me." And that would be the last exchange of information this man was getting. The very last.

| WHAT. An odd kid. Coeus looked rather confused and HURT. "I simply meant for you to tell me more about her so I could gauge whether this was the right trip for her... and I meant that you should tell me how much you love her... I love love... I would be willing to be generous with a discount if you were to admit to yourself that you really do love the lady for whom you wish to make the arrangements for..." he said in a sad little voice.
Okay maybe he was putting on a bit of a show with the pouting and the little voice, but really... that WAS all he had meant. Pushing himself up from the seat he turned his perfect Greek nose up at the manchild and walked back to the other side of his desk and sat on his swivel chair with his back turned to the manchild. MEAN manchild. WEIRD too.
Denying Co the joy of hearing about his LOVE for the lady. How. Rude. |

Okay maybe he was putting on a bit of a show with the pouting and the little voice, but really... that WAS all he had meant. Pushing himself up from the seat he turned his perfect Greek nose up at the manchild and walked back to the other side of his desk and sat on his swivel chair with his back turned to the manchild. MEAN manchild. WEIRD too.
Denying Co the joy of hearing about his LOVE for the lady. How. Rude. Sabel couldn't do more than stare and blink at the man. What was he going on about?
And then it came to that. That oh so touchy topic that had his brow knitting in all sorts of funny ways. Funny ways that told the man he was way off his rocker and way out of line. In truth, it had him a bit ruffled; confessions for discounts and stories to strangers that just seemed to want to know too much. The only thing that kept him from saying so, from walking out right then and there was the seeming honest expression that the man had. And the truthful hurt his posture displayed.
Letting out a heavy gust of air and threading his hands back through his hair, he frowned over at the sulking man. "I had a crush on her, the first year I knew her. My love for her now is as much as I would love a sister."
Dropping his hands he made his way back to the service desk and picked up the brochure. "Even if I was in love with her, I would not admit it for the sake of a discount. She's worth every penny. The whole expense. Love. Friendship. Or otherwise. And that's the truth." Waggling the brochure for a moment, he considered the man before giving him a small salute with the pamphlet. "Thanks for your help."

| Co wasn't buying it. He just wasn't and that "even if I was in love with her" bit pretty much sealed the deal for him. The kid loved her. He could tell. "I would be willing to give you a discount anyway. Because the sentiment is so... heartwarming," he said with his back still turned to the manchild.
Taking a deep breath he swiveled back around and eyed the manperson. Discount... girl he loved's vacation after school... this was a one time deal. |
