If was an overcast, fairly drizzly walk to Darlene's that afternoon, enough to make her curls spring up but not nearly so much that she'd brought an umbrella. America usually strolled to work at her pace, liking to enjoy a walk and the scenery, but today she was bustling just as much as the students who scurried toward cars, hang out spots, and homework as the classes began to end.
She almost, almost didn't stop for the flyer that hit her shoe. It was kinda gross and even places like Ashdown had their share of litterers. But she wasn't gonna be one, so with a roll of her eyes she leaned down and swept the flyer up to toss it in a nearby trash can.
Only she didn't make it that far, instead tossing it up in the air with a startled yelp. Hand batting at her back, heels clicking up and down in a little oh gosh oh gosh panic dance, the girl tried to figure out just who or what had touched her.
"Gross gross! Gross!"

“H…here I’ll take it.” He said and offered a hand to take the nasty paper with a look that said it rather bothered him as well. He picked it up in pinched fingers with a -cringe- that said the feeling was not unique to her.
“Um… They said it was for the Fashion Week, like performance art you know but? I mean there is enough strange in this town that, yeah.” He gave something like a shrug, but not really a shrug. It was really more of an almost helpless gesture.
“Have you um… I mean at the risk of sounding -crazy- have you run into the town strangeness yet or?”
“PRrrMMRRRRP!” demanded mogget, Reaching up a small paw to tap tap tap at America’s knee. “Muuurrrrrr?”
“Mogget! She doesn’t want your…wet feet on her, come here.” “Ah! Sorry, um… I’m Zac, that is um, that’s Mogget. If… you didn’t get that from my scolding um” He gave another small shrug. “I um… I work at the Bookstore Bibliophole, so um, if you want books! I mean, sorry I just haven’t seen you before that I remember so um, yeah!”

The girl gave Zac a girl guilty look, already in the process of sweeping Mogget up for a therapy cuddle. "I'm America, and thanks you two, for rescuing me from the icky litter." The last few words took on a talking to cute pets tone as America addressed the cat.
"I'm pretty new hun, just started working at Darlene's, and I'm not a big reader, but I know lots of folks who are so now I know where to shop for 'em, right?" She gives Zac a wink and then leans and whispers loudly, "By the by, do you mean the magic stuff?"
