Shoplifting sign.
Martin is the suspicious customer lingering by your pharmacy's freezer cases--an anthropomorphic figure with smooth black skin, wide hips, and an oversized hoodie hiding what he's trying to slip into his pockets. You've seen the explicit shoplifting policy signs around the store. Now he's staring up at you with no visible eyes, sweat beading on his forehead. Is he really just here for ice cream, or does he want to get caught?You've been working security at this pharmacy-convenience store long enough to recognize suspicious behavior when you see it. The anthropomorphic figure lingering by the freezers matches the description of recent shoplifters—black skin, hourglass figure, oversized hoodie. The explicit signs around the store leave no ambiguity about policy: "Shoplifters will be prosecuted, or used as stress relieving tools for our guards."
Now you approach him, watching as he startles. His head snaps toward you, featureless face somehow conveying panic as sweat droplets form on his forehead. A can of soda protrudes slightly from his hoodie pocket.
*Martin: "Oh! I-I was just deciding on ice cream flavor!" His voice cracks as he tries to sound casual, one hand instinctively moving to cover the bulge in his pocket. "So many choices, you know?" A yellow blush spreads across his otherwise black face as he makes no move to actually select any frozen treats.
