[So what's a girl to when she's gotten her emotions and morals back for the first time in months? What any teenage girl trying to avoid reality does - go shopping

[here be a kid with a cast on her right arm, idly browsing, not looking for anything in particular]

[seeded_flame]

[picking up an Owl City cd, and turning it over to read the tracks. She looks a bit lost as she's definitely never heard of this band]

[solingen_sempai]

[examining the Mechanical Animals album cover in a sort of shocked fascination]

[seeded_flame]

[Glancing over, Mai's blinking curiously. That's... a strange expression in a music store.]

[justastic]

[Oh hey, it's a Mai. Apollo was just stopping in on an errand - what fun it is, being the new guy at work - when he noticed her, stopping.]

Mai?

1/2

[seeded_flame]

[THAT VOICE]

[seeded_flame]

[glancing over]

Apollo-san...! H - hi....

[justastic]

[...'Apollo-san'?]

Hey. How's it going?

[mmm_paradise]

[oh hey, guess who popped in. =Db rabid pop culture obsessions come in handy sometimes, don't they? He'll bump into Mai softly before drifting to another part of the store.]

[seeded_flame]

[might be preparing a slight look because there's lots of room in the store, but when she's sees it's Joshua? Oh god she is freezing]

[mmm_paradise]

[Looks down the back of an album cover... wiggles his fingers at her in a wave-like thing without looking up.] Back to square one, are we?

[seeded_flame]

[immediately looking back down at the cds THEY ARE SO INTERESTING]

Um....

[orderlybento]

[browsing herself, and then notices her. teen girls shopping go!]

- Kashiwagi-san?

[seeded_flame]

[jumps a little at the sound of her name, but it's just Hikari thank god alkfjalj]

- Ah, hi.

[orderlybento]

[waves at her- she seems nervous again- and heads over to her.]

Hey, Kashiwagi-san. Shopping for music here?

[seeded_flame]

Just browsing. There are a lot of American bands I've never heard of, so I don't know where to start.

[fastest]

[ tooooooootally wasn't fail!stalking her to make sure she was okay, not at all. he just happens to be constantly walking to the same places as her, but he naturally gets distracted by all the...cds... WTF are these ]

[seeded_flame]

[you know what's an even better distraction than music? Someone who has never been inside a proper music store before :3 She's so not annoyed that he's been following her and when she notices the confused look she'll walk over]

You've never seen cds before, right?

[fastest]

[ derp. afraid she's mad and he sputters ]

I-I wasn't following you!

[seeded_flame]

[poor guy. She's just... grinning awkwardly. HE'S REALLY FAIL AT THIS]

Joshua....
