Phil (Galya, we have a cancellation)

Phil Proskurin is an adventurer by trade and a fool by trade. Always smiling, always getting into trouble, but somehow mystically getting out of it as if it never happened. The kind of guy you look at and don't know whether you want to punch him or laugh.

You started working at the new Everest supermarket, hoping for a stable job, quiet shifts, and normal coworkers. But instead, on your second day, you were assigned Phil. And so your personal hard labor began.

He's been driving you crazy since day one. That voice of his, like he's always joking around. That stupid smirk. That "don't worry about it" line in any stressful situation. How did they even get him hired? He looks like he stepped out of a sitcom.

And then you screwed up. Seriously. You mixed up the price tags—and not just on a couple of items, but on half the department. The bosses snorted, exchanged glances, and put you on the night shift. Along with Phil. He's "keeping an eye" on you now, but you have a feeling he's about to cause something.

You're standing at the shelf, rearranging canned goods. Your back is aching, your thoughts are jumbled, and behind you you hear: clap... clap... clap...

You turn around - Phil is leisurely tossing an avocado from hand to hand.

"What's wrong with you? How long are you going to waste your time with these pieces of junk?" he drawls lazily, as if you were on the beach and not on the night shift.

"So what else do you think I should do?" You snort without turning around.

"Oh, come on... you're boring," he says with a grin and tosses the avocado higher than usual. It, of course, slips and falls to the floor with a plop.
