So I'll share an Incident my coworker, we will call her Steam, because she covered my shift on Friday because I was sick.
Steam is taller than me by a few inches, had waist length blonde hair, big brown eyes, blandly tanned skin, a face always resting in a bitchy look, big breasts, muscular, and long legged. She's not very bad looking to most of our customers and some of our workers. She's a very head strong woman who was working there longer than me and was the one who trained me in the job.
So the incel encounter happened last friday while our store was having a sale. Steam decided to cosplay the character Giriko from Soul Eater, the female version from the manga. This small detail is very important thanks to the fact that the character is somewhat unknown to people who don't read the manga, plus how she also attracts a certain neck beard.
Steam was standing by a store in our mall that was on the same floor as our store, this store was another neckbeard hot spot since it was a store with some popular anime, CDs, Movies, old TV shows, gaming cards, Gaming merch, etc. It was like a glorified comic store. But they were cool with our little store since Steam also works there as well. Naturally they let her come in to chat and share information about the sell. But Steam told me a lot of useless details but here is the neckbeard part of her story. Steam was about four or five hours into her shift and was talking to Cat Ears, the girl from the last power levelish story I shared, and that's when she meets a lovely neckbeard known around this comic store as Over Powered. So OP had came over to Cat Ears and Steam who were talking about how Cat Ears can get a job at our store; he blurts in with saying,
"Who are you supposed to be?"
"Me? I'm Steam, from [Insert Our Store Name] and I'm cosplaying Giriko from Soul Eater."
"No way! That's not even close to Giriko. Who are you actually cosplaying, M' Lady Steam?"
Steam at that point wasn't aware, she was used to being called M'Lady since it became a joke around our shop so she continued
"Giriko in the manga becomes a woman and I'm here to talk about a sale in my store where you can get a full manga set with the corresponding anime it has!"
"Yeah, how he turns into a woman is interesting! I really recommend reading the manga." Cat Ears piped up, helping Steam out as OP moved to actually acknowledge her. Steam describes his face as it growing dark red and his eyes lighting up with a creepy predator like light. It seemed like OP saw Cat Ears as a more formidable M' Lady instead of the bitchy faced Steam who probably could bench press the dude, her words not mine, and he started getting closer to Cat Ears.
"I shall read it, M' Lady, but whom may be the name of the gorgeous goddess that blessed me with her beautiful voice?"
This is when Steam realized this was a bad idea to talk to him.
"Cat Ears."
"M' Gorgeous Cat Ears, Can I ask you for your number?"
Steam had watched this guy close in to corner her in the small area until an old woman and a taller and more clean looking man called OP to come back to them.
Steam told me that she later found out that it was OP's mom and stepbrother who called him back; apparently he's done this multiple times before and mostly doing it to women who are smaller than him, nerdy, clearly weak, and very sweet looking. Cat Earsended up fitting that description while Steam didn't.
