Free Pizza at the Bookstore [OPEN]
WHO: Evie Frye, Jacopo Bearzatti, and ANYONE who likes either books or pizza!
WHERE: The bookstore where Evie works which desperately needs a name!
WHEN: 2/16
WHAT: The bookstore is having a special sale, get a free slice of pizza when you buy a book!
WARNINGS: None, but will update if necessary!
The usually lonely bookstore is hopping with people, which isn't very difficult because if you get at least five people in there, it probably looks more hopping than usual. Has everyone suddenly rediscovered a love of books and knowledge? Probably not.
Because amongst all the dusty bookshelves are tables filled with greasy pizza boxes. Apparently, every purchase over a certain amount comes with a free slice of pizza! What a great way to get the kids to read! Thank you, mysterious and generous benefactor for helping out this poor little bookstore.
Perhaps you saw a flyer somewhere, someone posting about it on the network, or you were drawn in by the delicious scent of hot pizza. Or maybe you actually care about books and not pizza? Either way, if you're here there's plenty of both reading and eating to be done. You could also potentially bother the very tired employee who doesn't seem super stoked about the pizza. On second thought, you should probably just enjoy yourself and ignore her.

[She watches curiously as he flips through the book, maintaining her distance. It's not really her place to say any of this, especially when she's trying to sell him something. Oh well.]
I suppose I'd suggest... focusing on what you're passionate about. Or what you think will help you in your career prospects. Or both, if you're lucky enough. That way you'll have some drive to learn, whether you're self-teaching or not.

[ Though textbooks can still rack up to one to two hundred each, especially if they cover multiple semesters of study, and there's a difference between freely shelling out cash for games or snacks, and purchasing a textbook he stops reading two pages in and ends up leaving on his desk to collect dust.
He closes the book softly, and returns it to the pile. ]
I don't really have passions or a career in mind either. Rather, I've been leaning towards trying everything I can, and whatever happens will happen.
[ It's not really how most people live their lives, he's aware. But what if he finds something he thinks he likes and dedicates himself to it, only to turn around and find something else he likes better? It's an endless cycle of starting over again and again and again, so why not get a feel for everything if that's going to be the case anyways? ]
