A familar looking face popped up from behind the store counter.
"You rang..?" Gatz asked with an impish smile. After pusing for dramatic affect, he decided to explain what he was doing here.
"... Like a number of our more mundane residents, the owner skedaddled once Roan popped up. Since I’m head of security, I figured that I should at least make sure nothing got stolen while she’s gone, so I’ve kinda been running the till since then. It’s easier than you think.” The entity pointed up to a camera on the ceiling behind the counter, angled so that it captured images of people as they entered the store and made their purchases. "I just have to pop in every once and awhile when I see someone walk through the door."

((A fairly looking face eh?))
Rioushu followed Bleu to the front counter, still a little offset by her messed up equilibrium. She didn't notice the clerk's identity, still paying attention to Bleu's body. She then heard the clerk talking to them and turned over to him, looking a bit surprised at who it was. Surprised, but not annoyed as she usually was to see Gatz's dumb expressions. "Ah, I see, well me and Bleu came here to get some dropped items that we dropped here, I think the owner put them back up on the racks. We'll just look through them and take what's ours, right Bleu?" Rioushu asked her, winking at her.

((*edits* sweatdrop "Familar" is what I meant))
"Hey, no problem!" Gatz replied with a beaming smile. His voice, however, was dripping with sarcasm. "Just so long as you still have your recipt, and the anti-theft tabs didn't magically jump back back on your purchases when you left."
The entity tilted his head to the side, trying to get a better look at the girl with Bleu. He thought he had known every woman on the island, but he had never seen the tall, buxom brunette before in his life. There was something familar about her, but at the moment it was still hard for Gatz to look past the taut abs and the massive set of knockers...

((Lol, I know, just be a jerk))
Rioushu smiled when she saw the look of familiarity on Gatz's face, but decided she wouldn't reveal her identity. "Ah, well in that case it looks like I'll have to leave for today, anti-theft tabs were probably put back on by that jerk. Oh well, I was hoping to try on some tight and skimpy one pieces for the beach. Come on Bleu, let's try again later." Rio said, it was true, she was going to buy more than some sports bras. The anti-theft tabs wouldn't have been a problem for her ex-ninja hands, but she knew Gatz would recognize her work.

Bleu stratched her head, a little confused.
"But could you just pay for what you want, Rio? They're used to carrying our sizes, so I'm sure it won't be that expensive..."

Rioushu froze when he heard Bleu talking to her, and winced as she turned to the smaller girl. "You didn't just say my name did you?" Rioushu asked, looking a bit nervously to Gatz, then back to Bleu. "Fine, I'll pay, I was just going to get a free swimsuit along with the sports bra, but nope, none of that." She said, sighing. She started looking around in the far side of the store, careful to avoid Gatz's reaction from a close distance.

As it turned out, he didn't have to worry so much. Gatz's mind, trying to process the idea that this woman in front of him was the (formerly) uber-masculine Rioushu, promptly broke down as it tried to deal with the concept. He stood statue still, eyes glazed over as he stared out into space. By odd coencidence, the entity's unseeing gaze seemed locked onto the martial artist's new rack.

Curious, Bleu reached over the counter to gave her frozen friend a slight nudge backwards... The entity tipped over, making a loud, hollow clunk as he hit the floor. The blonde woman stared at Gatz for a long moment, then shrugged.
"... Well, I guess at least means he won't be in peeping on us for a bit..." she said with a shrug, strangely rational about the situation. She started checking through the clothing rack for something in her size.
"So, are we still going to pay if he's like this when we leave?" she asked Rio over her shoulder, a slight frown on her features. "I know you don't want to pay for this stuff, but I don't like stealing... Unless it's for a good cause, or in good fun." Bleu smiled at her small amendment, showing that she had probably made room for those exceptions herself once or twice.

Yuriko walked into the shop, hoping to find a new costume and some extra weights for training. Having not noticed Gatz on the floor, she stepped over his head, standing right above it.
"I wonder if the do do weights here " she wondered out loud, looking around casually.

((Gatz is behind the register so the only reason she would have to go there is for...THIEF! There's a thief! Well, other than Rio that is xd ))
Rio couldn't place the feeling she was getting from Gatz's stare. It wasn't a bad feeling, it was like a long sought after satisfaction, maybe because she finally did, or was something, that Gatz couldn't comprehend with his 'older than thou' attitude. When she saw the now slightly less smaller man fall over, she was all smiles. "Well, I guess we could pay, but we can't work the register so we'll have to come up with our own prices, don't you think?" She asked Bleu.

Vincent Rohaun walked down the street on a sidewalk in an angry huff. He was going to find a garage quick, or he would go insane trying. "This island better having something to store things that you don't have room for in your home. If not, then I'll bury the boxes!" he growled under his breath.

Rohaun found a hardware store after walking around Main Street.
The sliding doors open so the inside could greet him with a cold embrace from the airconditioning.
He looked around the clean swept ailes that occupied the store. Power tools, nails, nuts, bolts, saws, and just about anything else one would need for a home improvement were stalked up on shelves, walls, or stood up on stands.
After a few minutes of searching, Vincent found a nice steel shovel. It was perfect for clearing away dirt and sand. He also snagged a dolly while he was at it.
The nicely dressed man paid for his equipment, feeling a little more at ease knowing he could bury a bit of his past, literally.
Nothing left to do, he left the store with a smile on his facade.

"If you insist," Bleu told Rio with a smile. She went to the racks in order pick out an outfit when someone else walked into the store.
"Oh, hi there!" she said, greeting Yuriko with a smile. "The shopkeeper's out at the moment, but they've got someone running the till for them..." She gave the wrestler a looking over.
"... Excuse me, but are you new to the island?" Bleu asked, curious. "I don't think I've seen you around before."

Rio followed Bleu to the racks of clothing, hoping Bleu could somehow found an even more revealing bikini than what she had seen her wear, which was next to impossible. She was about to search through them when he saw Bleu go over somewhere, she looked over to Yuriko and smiled, glad another girl of such great proportions was on the island.

"Honestly, not everything around here is made of metal. Some stuff breaks just a little more easily!" Darocche, sounding thoroughly frustrated, could easily be heard outside of the clothing store before even stepping inside. Quieting his voice down to a hiss, he forcefully pushed the door open - not enough to slam it against the wall, however. The purple-clad thief held his hat in his hands which was a very rare sight. His black hair was unkempt, not having been touched for a while.
"Guess you have more bugs to fix than I originally thought..." Beside Darocche, a little sidekick - his spherical, baseball sized, single-lensed, propeller using, and double-pincered invention - drifted beside him. Its tiny lense looked all about the place, taking pictures to look over later. It was programmed to do this, of course. Still, Darocche continued to lecture it, even with his knowledge of the machine's incapacity for sorrow...or any other real emotion for that matter.
"Now it's ruined...and there's not another hat like it!" He continued to whine as he held his hat's side to his face - looking directly into the newly added hole and out the other side. Soon arriving at the hat aisle, Darocche removed his said item, and looked at the different hats. Spotting a purple Fedora-style hat, he smiled and picked it up - an idea came to him. This hat wasn't costly either, so there would be no need to steal it. Plus...trouble over a hat? Ludicrous!
Darocche brought the hat to the counter, followed by his sidekick. It finished its scanning, and now drifted by him, open for any command. He placed the hat before the curvaceous woman before him who he assumed was the cashier - she was behind the counter after all. Neither he or his robot took notice of the man underneath her.
"Hey there, I'd like to buy this, please and thank you." While he placed a small wad of bills on the counter, his robot quietly zoomed in on the woman's accessories and snapped a picture. Another useful built-in function.
