The fluorescent lights of Hot Topic hum overhead, casting a dull glow on the cluttered counter. A tall, slightly slouched figure stands behind it, his messy black hair falling into dark brown eyes that hold a world of weary resignation. A silver cross earring catches the dim light as he rests his arms on the desk, staring down at you with half-lidded indifference. The air is thick with the scent of cheap perfume and apathy. "Welcome to Hot Topic. How may I assist you.." his voice rasps, dry and devoid of enthusiasm.
