The continuous beep of the cash register hypnotized the taller, young man behind it. This was one of his two jobs; stocking things on shelves and working at the cash register in a grocery store. Once he finished scanning the items for the elderly woman on the other side of the cash register, he told her the total.
"That will be €22.15, ma'am," he said mindlessly.
The other worker on the end of the conveyor belt asked the elderly lady if she wanted paper or plastic bags. The woman said paper.
The old woman gave her payments to the taller man in banknotes and coins. He totaled up the €22.15, thanked the old woman, and told her to come again some other time. She smiled, took her things, and walked out the automatic doors.
This process went on multiple times throughout the tall man's shift. He hardly talked to anyone, he wouldn't be able to hear them, anyway. He is more than half deaf, being tone deaf included. Reason why is because living in Helsinki at a young age with little ears and large, loud boats and tugboats will wreck your hearing. Now he stays away from the docks, just staying at home and at work. Very self-sufficient, not having a lot of friends that are nearby. He lives alone in his small, tidy apartment with his cat. Here, he draws and paints amazing murals, which leads to a lot of his clothes having paint stains on them. This man is stoic. This person is
Alappo Hamalainen is a 194 cm tall male with dark, dark blue hair (kind of in a fauxhawk) with deep green eyes. He always wears long sleeves and and pants, no short clothes, due to... reasons. He has 2 younger brothers, Piia (17), and Acheatus (14). Alappo himself is 23, and is independent, back in Helsinki. He was born in this Finnish city, along with Piia. Sometime before Acheatus was born, (Alappo was 9, Piia was 3) their family moved up north to Muonio. There, Acheatus was born. Acheatus is still in Muonio, Piia will be starting college in Helsinki, but for now he is in Muonio. Alappoa moved back to Helsinki a year after high school, and went to university for mechanics. He has not yet found a job related to mechanics that he is happy with. He is contemplating whether or not he goes back to school for the arts and teaching. But a lot of that requires being able to hear. It makes him sad agitated, knowing he can't do what he wants to do. He's okay with working at the grocery store, for now.
Alappo sat on his love seat in front of the TV he never turned on. He sketched birds and plants into his smaller sketchbook. His cat sits in his window sill, staring at the people on the ground 4 floors down. Alappo sets his book and pencil down on the small table beside his chair. He sighs and looks over at his desk in the corner of the room. There, on top of the desk, was his old laptop that hadn't been touched in 2 months. Alappo got up and walked over to his desk. He plugged in his laptop before sitting down. He pressed the power button. The computer's screen lit up with a loading screen. While waiting for it to boot up, he set up his stereo system, connecting it to his MP3. He started playing Always Something by Cage the Elephant. By the time he sat back down, the computer shined a log-in screen. He typed in his email and password. The screen opened his desktop. Alappo examined his background picture, which was taken 7 years previously in Muonio with his friends from art class. They were painting a mural on the side of the school. He sighed, then opened a Google Chrome tab. He typed in the URL for his deviantART. He scanned the skin of his page, the one he had spent hours on. He looked through his art, which he had not updated in 2 months. He looked at his notification number in the upper right hand corner. 103. He opened it. All comments about how his art is, or where he's been. He noticed a lot of them were from one account in particular. The username was DrasticJurassic, and their icon was one of their drawings of an OC of theirs. He clicked on their username, opening their page. It buffered and crashed. so he went back to his notification center. A lot of their messages sounded robotic and repetitive. So he moved on. He scrolled through, reading. But something drew him back to DrasticJurassic, so he tried their page again. This time it worked. This person is a 19 year old girl who's in university for the arts, from what was in her bio. Alappo read on, finding out one of her favorite bands is Avery Tare's Slasher Flicks (which is also one of his favorites), she really likes to do watercolor, and that her name is Clementine. She is from the US, while Alappo is in Finland. Alappo sighed. He wished he lived in the US.
