Sora bounces into the Nexus, his usual exuberant self. "So it's been a while and I'm actually feeling kind of bored. If anyone needs help I would be all over it." Sora grins from ear to ear. "Otherwise, would anyone like to spar for fun? I'm not really into the whole kill thing

"Well, might not be th' help yer used ta...but ya inneresed in doin' a grocery run fer me? Need ingredients fer cookin' an' all. I'll pay ya, no prob."

"An' as fer good an' evil, those are sort of rubber words, y'know? You can bend an' stretch 'em. I think iss th' reasons why someone does somethin', not necessarily th' things they do, that'd define 'em as good or evil."

[that_somebody]

Sora's eyes light up--he is such a sucker for helping. "Sure thing! You have a list? I can do it no problem!" More grinning from the teen.

Head tilting, slightly thoughtful, Sora nods slowly at the kangaroo's sage words. "That makes sense, actually." Sora rubs the back of his head. "Rubber words..." He laughs a little. "Yeah."

[kangaroochamp]

Booga hands over a list that he originally made for himself. It says 'Murdoc's Birthday List' at the top, and has Cake Mix, Frosting, Candles, and all the normal birthday goodies, as well as lots of other foods, including meat to cook and the like. He hands over a few hundred dollars as well. "Keep th' change." He's clearly used to dangerous grocery shopping, and thus tips largely.

"Course, some things always got evil reasons behind him. Can't go 'Oop! Sorry! Accident!' when ya commit genocide or somethin'."

Sora looks over the list, amused, and then gets the money. He blinks at Booga. "Uhh..." More blinking. He's not used to dollar bills, coming from a world where munny is the chief currency. "i'll do my best." He smiles, figuring he'll sort it out later, and pockets the money and the list. "Where do you want me to bring all of it?"

Okay, it's awful, but Sora laughs. "That's true. Don't think I have to worry about that though, thankfully."

[kangaroochamp]

Booga notices the confusion. "Iss cash, kid. When ya get up ta th' register, th' guy or gal will say 'ow much you owe 'em, an' ya give 'em th' money. They say hundred an' eighty or somethin', you give 'em 2 hundred dollar bills an' they'll give you change. Then you can go buy whotever you want fer yerself, candy or sommat."

He puts a cigarette in his mouth before he speaks again.

"Jus' bring it back 'ere. Don' wanna make you walk to th' Tank."

Now Booga lights up and puffs out a smoke ring.

"Mos' people don' need to worry 'bout tha', yeh."

[that_somebody]

"...Like munny?" Sora nods a little, starting to get it. "Okay, I can do that. I'm sure there's a place around here that'll take it." He grins reassuringly. The fact that he can get candy afterwards helps as well, though he'll be more likely to bring more change back with him.

"Okay. No problem!" Wide eyed blinking. "Tank? Like one of those big..huge...things?" He actually looks a little more excited.

[kangaroochamp]

"Yer. Grocery stores usually identify themselves pretty easily."

"Yup. I live in a tank in th' outback. Iss me girlfriend's tank, an' I live with 'er."

[that_somebody]

Sora gives a thumbs up. "I'll have this stuff for you in no time then!"

"Cool! That must be really awesome." Sora beams. "You live with your girlfriend?" Weird! But then, Sora's emotionally and sexually ten years old.

[kangaroochamp]

"It is pretty cool. Don' have to live in one place all th' time. An' yeah, I do. First year or so, I wanted to marry 'er, but she ain't th' marryin' type, so I'm happy to be her boyfriend forever."

[that_somebody]

"Huh!" Sora shakes his head. "I can't even think of anyone I'd want to be boyfriend with!" Well, maybe someone, sort of. A light blush creeps onto Sora's cheeks.

[kangaroochamp]

Booga notices it and grins. He ruffles the kid's hair. How much gel does he put in to make it like that? Jesus.

"Go get me th' stuff, orright? Fanks."

[that_somebody]

Sora nods, obedient, and gives a thumbs up.

"I'll be back in no time!" And off he goes to procure the items on Booga's lengthy list.

[kangaroochamp]

"No rush, kid. I'll be right here."

And now that he's gone, Booga feels free to smoke a lot of pot.

[that_somebody]

Sora returns some time later, arms comically full of groceries. He's got the remaining change in his mouth--about twenty bucks, give or take--and seems to struggle under the weight. Amazingly, he managed his way through the Nexus like that.

Setting all the loot down he grins triumphantly at Booga. "Got it!"

[kangaroochamp]

"Great! Now I can cook everyfin'. You got some stuff fer yerself, I hope?"

[that_somebody]

"Yep!" He roots around a little, finding the couple boxes of popsicles he bought for he and Roxas to share before smiling brightly.

"Thanks a lot for letting me use some of the money."
