"Retail life is the pits for sure, but I can't say I've ever been literally tied to the counter." Even though sometimes it felt that way.

So like many of the others she'd come across here, this woman has been brought in under odd circumstances. It seems like a waste to pull someone from another world just to stick them behind a counter in a place were there aren't any real paying customers.

"So you've already tried to get away before? What all have you done?" Speaking of odd circumstances, Gwen knows she's going to have to squeeze some more lies into this conversation soon. She has her own sort of tether to deal with.
