Melvin looked back at Rep for just a second. "Just because I don't set off metal detectors like you do, doesn't mean I know about piercings." From all that he had seen of Rep, and he's seen it all, he knew the man was rather....geared up.
Frankly, he found piercings needing a lot of cleaning and he never liked holes in random places. There were always reports of infections and someone poking holes in a vital organ. That and there was the actual touching of some random strange on your body. No thanks.
For Rin's question, he didn't so much as touch that with a ten foot pole, instead unbuttoning his jacket and taking it off as he moved over to a directory map and regarding it.
"There is a big super market at the end of this wing. We just need to go down there, take a right, and then take it straight the way down the end." He informed them, letting his finger trail down the map to where he saw a supermarket.
Resting his jacket over one arm, he glanced them both and started moving. Time was valuable and he wanted to get the necessary things done first before he could enjoy himself.

"Somewhere painful? Are lady bits painful enough?" Yeah, she went there. No point pussyfooting around.
She toddled after Melvin, he seemed to know where they were going. Yep. Time to shop for food. While discussing metal in lady places. The best time.

"Just don't get too many. It's uncomfortable. I know these things and I wish I didn't. Maybe it's painful enough. Haven't you done enough body modification already?" He gave her a cheeky grin, he enjoyed making light of her arm despite being aware how serious it was. Joking just came easy to him, and was a sign he was back to a good mood.
He fell in step beside Melvin. "Wait up mum."

Not talking about pierced lady bits. Nope. Considering he wasn't a woman, he didn't think discussing it would have any point. That was all up to Rin what she wanted to jab holes in, though he thought she would have better sense.
At Rep's call, he looked over at the red-head. "Only trying to keep you two on track." He told him, not all too keen on being called a mom.
"I'm sure we all need to grab a lot of random things. How about we shop and meet at the registers?" He asked, not sure if they wanted them around just to pick out things like toothpaste and shampoo.

"I'm not planning to turn into a pin cushion. I just want to try something new. Losing an arm doesn't count," Rin pressed her lips into a thin line at Rep giving him an idly scolding look. The look immediately dissipated at Melvin's suggestion, "Sure!" But... she really had other things in mind. She was going to take advantage of the parting ways... and gave Rep a rather thoughtful look. She did still need to get him a gift.

"Awright. We can split up for a bit. I've got a lot of s**t to get out of the way. Meet back here in like, I dunno, half an hour or something with our loot." He couldn't wait to get shopping. It was his absolute favourite thing.

"Got it. See you guys in half an hour." He checked his phone for the time and then set out, taking a cart and setting his coat in it. It was nice to finally get the essentials he needed to make his room livable. Not to mention that there were a few things he just wanted to have to eat and enjoy. He'd kill for a bottle of hot sauce.
In half an hour, Melvin had checked out and was sitting with his cart, bags inside, and checking his phone. Sadly, the Deus phones couldn't hook up to wi-fi. Shame.

Rin was incredibly late coming back. But it was possibly apparent why. Her clothing somewhere along the line completely changed from a nice button down with sweater and pants... to something rather... festive. Red and short with white fur trim.... and someone had to of talked her into those high heel red suede boots. She actually looked... well... female. But seemed a bit embarrassed about that fact.
"I uh... sorry Melvin," at least she had her supplies too, all bagged and loaded into a mall buggy along with her carefully folded clothes of before wrapped in her coat and placed in a bag.

Rep was also - rather predictably - late back from shopping, wheeling along with him a trolley laden with various items; half of the booze aisle, chocolate, hot chocolate, snack foods like peanut butter, cans of whipped cream, a ridiculous variety of condoms and paraphernalia, various spicy sauces and foods and the list went on and on. He could absolutely not have looked any more pleased if he tried and didn't even think to apologise for being late back, just beelined to the checkout and took ages organising things in his pedantic hoarder-like way into various bags. Somewhere along the way he'd also apparently replaced his worn out denims and t-shirt with more suited ones, his new t-shirt emblazoned with "Cool story bro".
Painfully slow and holding up the line, he managed to break a jar or two by accident while checking out just by picking them up too eagerly, and was forced to go back to collect replacements - only to return with even more things.
When he finally joined them both, it was with a trolley absolutely piled to the brim.
"Yo."

Melvin wanted to scold them both for not being here exactly, but he couldn't expect everyone to plan ahead, make a list, and get to each aisle without lingering about. Sure, Melvin's list had been just as big as the next person, but he knew how to not wander about in order to get all the amazing things he wanted to do squeezed in. That and he also had to plan his money a bit. He had spent some on just runic-ing his artifact after all.
When he looked up, he was first shocked to see Rin in what had to be considering a Skimpy Mrs. Claus outfit, complete with high heels and white fluff. Wondering if she had somehow been recruited by the mall to pose beside some car, he then realized that the mall would not hire someone in that uniform without some angry, puritan mother suing them.
Did she....buy it? Considering he hadn't seen Rin in much else other than shirts and jeans, he was just staring and slowly turning his head just so. "Sorry for...?" The outfit? He wasn't exactly going to complain. He could feel Saliva grinning, but he shoved her mentally aside.
When Rep called out, he glanced briefly to see the pile rolling their way before he saw a mop of red. "You're late." He managed before noticing the shirt.
"Did I miss some sort of Secret Makeover show in one of the aisles?" Everyone was wearing something different! Rin seemed to be a much better success than Rep was though.

"Oh nothing~" Rin cooed, clearly he didn't mind her being late nearly as much as Rep and she shot the ginger a bright smile. "All this shopping and trying on clothes has me starving - can we stop for a meal next?" She had nowhere near as much hoarded away as Rep had, or Melvin for that matter. It seemed her entire half hour was spent on the new outfit and supplies may have been an after-thought. At least it was still more than enough to see her through the coming month. Hopefully.

"I need to go drop this s**t off before we go anywhere to eat. I'm not carting a trolley of stuff around all night. Let me just...dash back to the p.." he remembered they were in a fairly public shopping area. "Back. And I'll be right back."
Melvin got a grin. "Did you see what I was wearing? It was old as balls."

Melvin rose back up, holding his own cart. "Yeah just....." He glanced at Rin. "Wondering about the new outfits."
Not pointing it out with a huge, flashing arrow that Rin was wearing a holiday getup and somewhat disappointed Rep's reaction was not having one, he thought of his own cart of things. "That's actually a good idea. I don't want to be weighed down by this anyway, and I'd feel better if it was safe in my room. We barely even been gone." He said, glad the were using their time wisely.
"We can walk back from the dorms and find out where we're going to eat." He looked over to Rin. "You okay with that?"

"I'll uh... catch up with you two!" Rin deftly wandered back to try and get one last thing while those two were distracted.
Eventually she met up with them again after dropping everything off in her room, under lock and key.

"Well aye, new outfit, its a shopping trip." He followed his gaze to the festiveness that was Rin and back again. "Why, you disappointed I'm not dressed like that too?" He didn't wait to see the answer, heading back to drop off his junk as well.
He returned still looking pleased with himself.
"So! Where we eating?"
