= Chapter 1 - Snow Yaks and Nic Naks =
I stepped in front of a building. It was a darkish orange brick building. It had a chalkboard sign on the top of it. It said “Snow Yaks and Nic Naks”. In the shop window it was covered in plants and neon lights, there was so much of it I couldn’t even see through it. I looked up to the roof, it was draped with plants just like from the window, most of it hanging off the roof. I stepped closer. The door was a light orange. It had a sign in the door’s window. “Open!” It stated. It had another sign. “HELP WANTED. PLEASE COME. Except you Todd...you know what you’ve done…” It said, I gulped. I gripped onto my resume really tightly. I was nervous. I needed a job. I took a deep breath and walked in. On my right there were a bunch of different colored plants everywhere. On the wall there were shelves, they had a lot of blue jars and I couldn’t tell what was inside of them. On the rest of the shelves were plants. On my left, there was silver armor, glowing mushrooms, and all sorts of stuff. I wanted to stop everything I was doing and go over there and look at everything. I shook it off and went to the counter. There was a girl. She had pale skin, a spike choker, a t-shirt without the shoulder part that reminded me of a daisy, greyish tan cargo pants, flip flops, Golden earrings, a bandaid over her nose, red eyes, red back hair with two red streaks, and black bangs pushed aside. “Hello. Welcome to Snow Yaks and Nic Naks. What do you need?” She asked, not really caring. “U-Uh…” I stuttered, “I saw there was a help wanted sign in the window and I wanted to apply for the job…” “Kid, You do not want to work here. But I don’t care. So if you really want a job working in the Black Market bis, and a dick-ass boss who doesn’t give a shit, then go through that door.” She sighed, pointing to the door on her left. I gulped. “Uh-Uh Ok!” I said, speed walking behind her to the door. I don’t know why, but I was particularly nervous about this. My last job was to hunt spirit mice in a barn and I have no idea how I got fired from that. The farmers had let me stay there rent free, gave me some food, and yeah. Then one day, when I was looking around for spirit mice they came up to me and told me that I was fired. I’ve been looking for a job since. When I was on the hunt for a job a flyer hit me in the face. It said “SNOW YAKS AND NIC NAKS HELP WANTED!” So I hitchhiked, walked, and ran all the way here. The town of Black Markets. I had made my resume along the way too. Now here I am. I walked through the door to see a person-or something-sitting at a desk. Their chair was facing backwards. “Uh...I’m here for the job.” I said. The chair turned around. It-It was a-a…..cat…..FURRY! Furries aren’t something you see everyday! They usually don’t like being around people. This furry had black and grey fur, a big poof of hair with ears on top, small whiskers, a cat nose, fangs, a collar with a bell, a tail, and regular human hands and I think feet. The furry was wearing a white shirt with a black tie, grey pants, and black shoes. “Hello.” It said in a raspy voice, “So you want the job?” I nodded. He gestured to me to sit down. I set my resume on the table and sat in one of the chairs facing it. He grabbed the stapled papers. “Len, huh? No last name I should know about?” I gulped, as he continued reading. “Ah, you're a Crawftail! No wonder you don’t have a last name!” He snickered. He continued reading. If you don’t know, A Crawftail is a snake-like being, you can see why I had a spirit mouse hunter job last. But I can turn invisible and I'm very venomous. And….a reason why a Crawftail isn’t something you see often, and not a creature a lot of people like, is that when we kill someone...we can transform into that person. A lot of Crawftails in the past have done that and tricked a lot of families and caused a lot of pain. “Uh-Uh, if you’re worried or something I would never kill anybody and transform into them! I swear on my tongue!” I exclaimed, he looked confused, “Crawltails tongues are very rare and are awesome for the black market so if I kill somebody i’ll give it to you!” Silence. Ten he started cracking up. “Kid, Kid, Kid! Just taking one look in your eye tells me that you do not like hurting people. Or at least in that way. Anyways, Crawftails and Hardshaws are supposed to get along, so I guess you got the job.” He said, standing up. I stood up too and he extended his hand out. I reached my hand out too. We shook hands. I am Len. I am a Crawftail. And today, I just scored a job. “Also, I have no house. Can I stay here?” I asked. “On the roof.” He began, “We don’t get much rain so you’ll be fine up there. And Please don’t eat the Snow Yaks in the jars. We just got those!”
= Chapter 2 - First day on the job =
I woke up and sat up straight. I was so excited. First day on the job and I wasn’t gonna fail! I climbed down the ladder leading to the roof. I walked up to the girl. She didn’t say anything but she handed me my work uniform and pointed to where the bathroom was. I changed into a long sleeve white turtleneck, white t-shirt on top, my green crystal necklace, dark tannish brown cargo shorts, and flip flops. I looked into the mirror. Same Green eyes. Same orange front hair. Same Red back hair. Same bandaid. Same fangs. Same tongue. Same Me. I walked out of the bathroom and stood next to the girl at the counter. “So, What’s your name?” I asked. “I have 2 first names.” She began, “Ember June. You can call me Ember, EJ, June, basically those if you want to give me a nickname. What's your name, rookie?” “Len. I'm a..Crawftail.” Her eyes widened. “SICK DUDE!” She yelled, “I’VE NEVER MET A CRAWFTAIL BEFORE! HOW OLD ARE YOU? HAVE YOU EVER KILLED AND TRANSFORMED INTO A GUY? IS IT TRUE YOU CAN TURN INVISIBLE???” “23, No, and yes.” I said, turning invisible. I noticed her outfit. Today she was wearing a grey and dark purple turtleneck, on top was a dark purple t-shirt with a skull logo on it, she wore black cargo pants, fishnet legging pants, and black boots. “How come you aren’t wearing your outfit from yesterday?” I asked, turning back to normal. “Oh that, well yesterday I lost a bet so I had to wear my nice clothes.” She said, “What was the bet?” “The boss and I betted that The Carrot Guy that always comes in here was going to come in the next hour. He betted Carrot guy wouldn’t come in. I obviously lost. Yeah. Our boss is an asshole.” She laughed. We both laughed a bit. “So...you’re an Hadshaw?” I asked. “Yep. Don’t worry, I won’t suck the soul outta you!” She chuckled. There was a moment of silence. “So what’s the boss's name? I can’t exactly call him The Boss forever.” I asked. “His name is Tatsuki but I call him Limm since well, He devoured a Limm the first night we FREAKIN MET.” She whined. I laughed a bit. We talked more about everything. She gave me the rundown on the job. “So we’re basically cashiers/every other job except boss.” She said, “So we basically are HR, Janitors, Cashiers, and everything else except boss/CEO/whatever?” I asked. “Yep.” “And who’s this Todd guy?” “We don’t talk about Todd.” “Ok….” Then we heard some commotion in the boss’s office so we went in. We saw him making out with a guy and when he noticed us he just gave us a middle finger and continued.
“Is this a regular thing?” 
“Yep.” 
“Should I get used to it?” 
“Yep.” 
“I'm going back to the register.” 
“I’m staying to watch. This stuff makes good Blackmail.” 
“Send it to me too. If I need to, I'll use it to get a promotion.” 
“Why didn’t I think of that?”
“Because you’re not a snake like being.”
“Fair point.”
= Chapter 3 - Your Average Ordinary Day =
I climbed down the ladder and changed into my uniform today. I went to the counter and Ember June was basically wearing the same outfit. “Good Morning, Ej.” “Good Morning, Len. Hey there's something you should know.” She bagan. I was confused. “So once a week-” Then all of a sudden 3 kids burst through the door. “YO EMBER!” Two of them yelled out. “Hey, EJ.” The other one sighed. “Ember, who are these kids?” I asked. “Len, these are my friends, This little optimistic guy is Shawn, the shy one back there is Onyx, and this Ring Master is Ainsley!” she said. “You guys know where the Snow Yaks are!” “Dude, cursing is like your MAIN JOB. How are you not cursing in front of them?” “It's hard but I'll get buy.” Then the kids came up to the counter. “Len’s gonna have to be your guys' cashier today. The boss wants to ask me some stuff,” Ember said, walking into the boss’s office. “Okay…” I began, “That’ll be 20 water coins.” “You forgot our discount,” Ainsley said. “Our discount is -50%.” I sighed. “Okay, then. 10 water coins.” Ainsley took off her hat and held it out in front of herself. She reached in and grabbed 10 water coins, and handed me them. “Thank you! Have a good day,” I said, watching us leave. “TELL EJ WE SAID BYE!” Shawn yelled on their way out. A minute after they left Ember came out of the boss’s office. “They said bye. Also, what did the boss want to talk to you about?” I asked. “Limm said: Did you tell Len that I was a Dick-Ass boss who didn’t give a shit? I said: Yes. He said: That’s true. And then we basically started talking shit about Todd. That low life son of a-” Ember growled. “I’ll never understand who Todd is or why you guys hate him.” “Oh by the way, Onyx comes in here a lot so expect him in here often. He’s...a special type of creature and uh, he needs special things that only we really sell so uh,” “I get it. So what is he? A sea monster? A ghost? A morpher?” “He’s uh….a….Razzbeast….” As soon as she said that the boat burst out of his office. “YOU LET A RAZZBEAST IN HERE? SEVERAL TIMES?!?!?” “Ok even I agree with him, Ember. You know how dangerous those things are.” “Onyx is a He not an ‘It’. And he’s not actually dangerous! And besides, Tatsuki you make out with like every guy no matter what monster they are! And Onyx is getting the stuff he needs here to not turn into a beast. And besides, he’s already self-conscious about it. He would never hurt anybody.” She yelled. “IF THAT BEAST RECKS THE SHOP YOU’RE FIRED.” “WHY THE HELL WOULD HE DO THAT?” It went on like that for a while. Eventually we all settled down. We agreed that if Onyx wrecked the shop she would get fired and really that's all we agreed on other than he can still come here. After a while it got back to normal. “Oh by the way Len, I should probably explain to you the currency here. So most people use Water coins, like you and I do. But some species use different kinds of coins. Some elemental, some food, some mind, it’s all weird. Elemental creatures use elemental coins, Weird creatures that don’t fit in a category use food coins, Psychic creatures use mind coins, there's a whole lot out there. If you ever need help with that stuff I can help.” She explained. “Thanks Ember. Oh by the way, how come there haven’t been too many customers around?” “Dude. We live in a town called Black Market Town. The Black Markets are everywhere. It’s a shady place. And also there's a sale going on at Water Guy’s Emporium of Random things. But I mean, it’s never really busy.” “Ok that makes sense.” “Yep. Oh by the way, One of these days you gotta come with me to the circus. It’s awesome down there.” When she said that it reminded me of what she called Ainsley. This RingMaster is Ainsley! “Wait...you called Ainsley a RingMaster.” “Yep! Her dad owns the circus and she wants to be a RingMaster when they grow up. In fact, They and their friends come up here once a week to get all of those Snow Yaks for the circus. It’s actually really fun down there.” “Cool. I’ll definitely have to go there sometime!”
