The customer crumpled as expected, and she'd nabbed his cabbage. Now what? A quick glance towards the doors revealed Ririn still there. Was she waiting for her buddy, her partner in crime? Well, if you called it crime, anyway. Nah, crime was what she had to charge for her make-up services. Professionals, or even educated amateurs could easily charge double of what she was, and that'd be a "first timer" sort of thing. In her case, it was still a decent income.....if her grandpa let her keep it. No, in order to have her computer and things of her own, she had to buy them on her own, and pay a portion of the electric bill. Factoring in that bit, she usually ended up not buying anything besides her portion of the electric bill.....what with sales as poor as they were. The guys never really wanted make-up, and they sure as hell weren't going to pay the equivalent of 20 usd for something they didn't want and would be minimal as well. So many missed sales, so many clothes gone unpurchased. At this rate, she'd end up having to lose internet and most electric bits just to have clothes....at least if gramps kept up his "accidental use" of her clothes as rags.
Disregarding that, Tatsuta saw an opportunity to ditch the market and do something...ANYTHING with people that didn't want her to go mow a lawn, pull weeds, or fix another patch of shingles. The question though, was how to get there? She was still stuck in the market with the groceries. She obviously didn't have the money to buy them, and to go drop them off with gramps meant she'd not go anywhere. Thankfully, the manager was already starting over. She'd drawn "aggro", as it would mean in game. The difference between Ririn's fleeing and Tatsuta's action was reputation. The Fujioka might not be the highest in standing in the area, but comparatively, the Arai were known troublemakers, and perverted, troublesome. Tatsuta moved to meet the manage first and foremost in the middle, and promptly handed over the basket. She knew the drill. You didn't mess with other customers like that and get away scot-free. No, in her individual case, she wouldn't be allowed in the store again for anywhere between three days and a week's time. Fine by her, since then gramps couldn't send her shopping or take her in there with him, and she'd get to do more of what she wanted while he was away.
"Yeah, yeah. Out I go, no coming back until gramps gets official notice. This is gramps' basket. Y'ain't gonna put it back just because I'm not allowed in the store, are ya?"
But of course he was, and he shook his head, and pointed at the door. With a shrug of "defeat", Tatsuta reveled in her manipulative victory. Never you mind the earful she'd get for "losing the groceries over something stupid", that would come later. In a moment, her crimson gaze slid over to Ririn with almost a knowing look as she passed them and, with hands shoved in her pant pockets. The doors slid open, and the rush of hot air greeted her squinting eyes as she stepped outside. Her job done, Tatsuta sidled around the corner, leaning against the store wall while she waited for what would hopefully not be gramps coming out to rip her a new one and instead be Ririn and whomever she could drag along. Ditch the property, go hang out, and generally have a somewhat normal summer day.
