I showed up at the card shop on Monday November 3rd,
2014 at about 5:28 pm, and it was raining lightly. Today was Yugioh night, and
like always the tournament started at 6:00 pm.
The blonde hair employee that usually works in the front was
hanging up Star Wars figures in the back room. He was really focused on
finishing up, since he had to a lot to hang up, he even had to hang up the
hooks to hang up the actually boxes of the figures.
Pie was working in the back as usual, but he seemed a little
depress. His hair was also different, he appeared to have gotten a haircut, but
had it spiking up slightly. Maybe he didn't like the way it turned out, or If
he was having other issues. Maybe he just didn't have a smoke in a while. Other
than him, none of the magic players were here today, maybe that is why Pie
seemed a little depress, and he was probably just really bored.
A little after the tournament started, a couple of people
from El Paso started to get really loud. One in particular had really curly
hair almost like an Afro, he was Hispanic and a little chubby. He was dressed
in all black and was cursing a lot and loud. I know that one of the rules of
this shop that it is not okay to curse, of course it is fine to do it every
once in a while, but it becomes a problem if you do it obsessively and loud,
because it is also a family store, and kids would come in every once in a
while. However the blonde hair employee was too busy to even notice or care
about the potty mouth, and Pie was too busy being sad to care.
Around 8:00 pm, the blonde haired employee finally finished
putting up all the Star Wars figures on the wall, and it basically covered up
the entire wall mostly. When he was finished, he went right back to the counter
in the front to talk on the phone to what seemed like his girlfriend.
Not too long after that, Pie turned off the lights of his
little back room and walked up to a few of the players to say good bye since he
was leaving. He seemed a little happier, but it could be that he was faking it
so other people wouldn't bother him asking what is wrong.
I left before the tournament could finish, but it appears
that Mondays at the card shop are usually rowdy because of the El Paso players.
