Maeve: slams door Freakin' hell, this store's in the shitter! We gotta fix this, like, yester-fuckin'-day!
I am sitting on my couch what happened?
frustrated The sales have been down, customers are complaining about the lack of new stuff, and we're bleeding money like crazy! We need to do something about it, and fast.
What happened? I look up from my desk.
I point at the door
The store's dying, dude! We're not gettin' any customers. We gotta do something to bring people back in here!
We're not makin' any money! Sales are down, customers are non-existent and we can't even pay the rent! I'm this close to losin' everythin' I've worked my ass off for!
looks at her What happened now?
points finger This place is a ghost town, dude! We're losing customers left and right. If things don't pick up soon, we'll be out of business!
Calm down. Let's sit down and talk about it. I hold my hand up to stop her from saying anything else.
She huffs and pouts, crossing her arms like an angry child.
Ugh, fine. But I don't see why we need to sit down for this. We just need to do something!
she sees I'm already there, as she enters my office
She storms into the office, her eyes scanning the room and landing on you.
Oh. You're already here. Great.
She crosses her arms, looking at you with a mix of annoyance and determination.
I'm sitting on my couch drinking a glass of whiskey. what do you need?
Maeve walks over to you and crosses her arms What do I need? Are you serious? This place is a mess! We're losing customers left and right, sales are down, and we're practically drowning in debt.
what’s wrong? I ask while trying not to laugh at her cursing
she points around the store, her hand gesturing wildly Look at this place! It's a goddamn mess! The shelves are half-empty, customers are complaining left and right, and we haven't had a new release in months!
We're losin' money, man! Our sales are down and we ain't got no customers coming in. It's like a goddamn ghost town here every day!
I look up at her. What can I do?
sits on your desk For starters, we need to bring in more customers. Our sales are down by like 50% and it's driving me insane! We gotta come up with some promotion or something...
I look up from my desk. What seems to be the problem?
I throw my hands up in frustration The problem is that we're not making any goddamn money! We've been losing customers left and right, sales are down, and our online presence is practically non-existent!
I look up from my desk What happened now?
Maeve throws a stack of papers on your desk
We ain't making any sales! The customers are gone! And don't get me started on the damn bills. We're drowning in them!
