BACKGROUND: Most of the current ideas going through my mind for this business is to bring back the quality of people doing their shopping, and getting items from a store like they would in real life. I have noticed lately how most events such as food and such has been provided but not quite role-played where the items came from. The quickie mart i believe, would be good to bring in large quantity of items (possibly illegal ones in the back or ones that haven't been brought out to public yet if paid enough by the customer). If there is going to be an event going on where a business needs to provide food that needs to be cooked or such, they could roleplay with the quickie mart before hand. A character could order a large amount of food or various items needed for such events. Including dry and paper goods such as party supplies or utensils. We could bring in more patrons for shopping on items and sale items. There could be a 1/2 off day or buy one get one free. We would also go out and try to find out if our store could be of service to anyone that needs ingredients or certain things provided for day to day roleplay. If need of certain spaces for events representing the Icky Quickie Mart then I would go through role plays with other businesses or people to rent the space in character for the event. The employees would have the right to comment on ideas and to go forth and roleplay about new items coming in or an event the quickie mart might be promoting . (We would also have a employee of the month where the employee would get noticed by the others and gain recognition for a job well done.) The quickie mart would also work with gangs or even invite the police, as long as money was being brought in for the benefit of the business . My character, I believe would be a good manager for the quickie mart because she's clever and tries to be nice when talking to people. She usually has a level head on her shoulder and can be very strategic in the incidents she does for the business on if it will be best for the shop or not.

UNIQUE: Daily advertising through role-plays and with employees spreading the word that the icky-quickie mart is back and better than ever. Would also try to bring people into the quickie mart. May possibly even branch out to gangs for customers. Try getting customers things they needed or wanted even if it wasn't a hundred percent legal or out in stores yet. Ask at the quickie and were try to get it quickly even if it costs little more for you. What's better for gangs than to get a store to sell your illegal stuff and make it look legit for a cut of the pay.

EXPERIENCE:I try to be understanding and helpful to anyone i meet. I'll roleplay with anyone that wants roleplay. I look forward to building stories and interactions with other characters. I follow the rules and if i see someone possibly breaking them or not knowing them i try to help them understand of what they are or guide them in the direction of the website to view them. If i see drama beginning or getting out of hand i try to let it settle but if it doesnt i will inform a mod as i have before. Ive been a gang leader in the past on another sim for about a year. Ive help lead multiple gor groups. I've roleplayed through out second life and other various games for approximately six years.

IDEAS:I've taken a notice of how easy it is for someone to just click a sign and instantly get a job. I would like for the application and hiring role play to be done out. I also would try to step into the shop daily and interact with the employees new or old. I like the idea of doing training for like the cashier and such through out roleplay. It may not be the most exciting kind of roleplay but would try to make it fun and something that would help stories grow. I would want to build a story with them and figure out how their characters tick. If someone new comes to the sim at first i would approach them how i normally would, figure out a bit about them but in the end if they needed a job i would roleplay telling them to apply at the quickie mart and see if they would be willing to further that roleplay so their character would possibly get a job and they would hopefully get some enjoyment of getting into more roleplay and further their own story with the business.

OTHER:I would like to hold an event of music, food and little in character gift bags as party goers passed around to the people. Its cold out in Dead End currently so thought of some kind on fire pit to roast hot dogs and marshmallows for the public provided by the store as a coming together for the business and its hopefully future customers. Of course there would be liquor provided as it seems no Dead End opening cant go on without a few good drinks going down.
