Nell Alexander
The small wooden room smelled, well, of candy. Small glass jars filled to the brim with delicious sweets decorated the desks and shelves, along with magazines and recipes sprawled out across the floor. The Alexander household was just above the shop, consisting of several small bedrooms, and two guest rooms. As for a kitchen, they just used the one they had downstairs.
Murmuring incomprehensible words into her soft memory foam pillow, Nell stretched out across her bed and rolled herself off and on to the cold floor. Usually she would've gotten right back up from the chill, but today she was downright exhausted. After struggling all of last night with a simple chocolate recipe, she finally had to give up and dragged herself to bed before collapsing. Everyday she spent in the kitchen meant another day of cleaning and scraping exploded candy dishes off of the floors and walls. She let out a long sigh and stared at the blank wood-paneled ceiling, grimacing at the smell of morning breathe and reminding herself that she had better started getting ready. With all of her work clothes on from the previous day, she was all set after some brushing and a bit of washing up.
"Kukukuku!! Ku!! Have you gotten ready yet? I'll meet you downstairs in the shop!"
The shop was closed on Saturdays, which made the perfect opportunity for everyone to get to know each other before Monday swung around the corner. After the huge spat between the previous workers, teamwork was Nell's current priority. After her continuously failing chocolate dish, she had decided the previous night that together with the new workers, they would make chocolate! She already had all the ingredients set up on the kitchen table from yesterday, so they were all set.
