Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ginerva walked along the steep, wide dirt road to the Mall, whistling as she went.
She kept a tight grip on her bag with one hand, and helped herself up th road with the other. The spider road on her back. She finnally got to the mall, and walked into a store called "Purple Mistakes in Green." She went in, and found a variety of objects in purple and green. She wandered through the isles, still whistling to herself, and, at last, she found a shelf at the back laiden with boxes, and covered in hooks with cloaks hanging on them. She picked out a purple cloak with green stars, and a mysterious shiny box, paid for them, and left the store. When she got out, she opened the little box, and there was a little vile of some unknown liquid. Ginerva headed back towards the school, and, the training "hall"....

Nobara rushed into the mall, her pigtails flying, sandals clacking against the white tile she was standing on. She had come a bit late... but that wasn't her fault. Some man had been handing out free samples by the mall entrance, and stopped to chat her up. Unfortunately, that led to giving her fifteen more samples of kleenex, which she stuffed into the pocket on her side; she looked like she had added 15 more pounds.

Darting around, Nobara had left her bow back at the music hall, and she secretly prayed that nobody would take it; she would DIE without her bow. It was then that she noticed the familiar black hair, nice, uncreased clothing... Seiya no doubt. Running even faster, Nobara then slid across the tile, people moving out of her way so they wouldn't be hit. Nobara stopped precisely in front of Seiya, and bowed deeply.

"I am SO sorry.... some freak gave me like five million tissue samples... and insisted I talk with him... the only reason I did was because he was REALLY cute. But then he went on and on about trees and stuff, so I left." There was a look of apology in Nobara's eyes, and she pushed a few spare strands of hair out of her face. "So... if you don't mind... could we still go on a shopping frenzy? I totally need to get a manicure."

"You're right about that. People these days." Nobara rolled her eyes, and dug her hands into her pockets, pulling out three more packets of tissues. These are the cheap ones, too.... When there were about three packets of tissues left in her pockets, Nobara swiveled around and gave one of her cheesy, annoying grins.

"Well then, where to? There's so much I have to get done today... "

"Oh, well we'll go check out some clothes and Reese and Claire's but first..."

Seiya reached up and snatched Nobara's glasses off of her face, quickly snapping them in half in one smooth gesture.

"They were bothering me, so last night...I checked out the nurse's office for your perscription." She pulled out a pair of delicate silver framed glasses.

"You're welcome." She smirked and crossed her arms while holding them out.

Seiya didn't have any money...she had credit cards. She usually didn't buy too much anyway, despite being able to.

"Let's get going." She began walking around the mall often going over the bigger shops filled with people and going into smaller ones.

"You'll usually find more unique clothes in smaller shops." She lectured, "When you go into chain stores they'll have twenty of every outfit, do you want to look like twenty other people? No, so the secret is to find custom shops that do tailoring, that way you never have to worry about having the smae clothes as someone else or even the clothes not fitting you." She was smiling, she seemed to be having fun.

Aly steps off the bus and smiling looks around as it shuts its doors and slips away. While she might not have been a spaz shopper, or one that loved those lame places like American Eagle... she still loved malls. They were so full of life and different people, and so close to Ria it'd probably be that much more different. Sometimes it was just fun to grab a drink and sit in the food courts, watching people. That was exactly what Aly planned on doing in fact, after she got some books and the like for the school year. Aly checks her hoodie, making sure her wings weren't poking out, then still making sure not to jostle her right shoulder, heads inside the large teen haven. Smiling, Aly looks around, then heads for the first Boarders Bookstore she set her eyes on. Elevator inspired music played on in the background, rather ignored, as Aly made her way through the store back to the 'Graphic Novels' section, or more accurately 'the manga' section. Aly pulls down a new Death Note, Cowboy Bebop and Chibi Vampire, then plops down in a leather chair to start reading.

After walking around the mall for a while, Rachel had accumulated quite a number of shopping bags. She had a bag full of video and computer games from the electronics store, one stuffed to the brim with books from the bookstore, and almost ten with various outfits from different clothing stores throughout the mall. Looking around, she decided to take a rest for the time being, sitting down on one of the benches in the center of the mall and dropping all of her stuff down next to her.

"Whew!" she exclaimed out loud. I think that was a pretty good run. Maybe I should get something to eat before making one more sweep of the place. She started looking around for a good place to get some food - pizza sounded good. Maybe Chinese. Or maybe there was a sushi place somewhere... she'd actually gotten to like the stuff, despite herself.

Sushi it is, then. Right after I rest up a little.
