New Generation Legacy, Issue 1: Back to School

[Hammerhead]

"That sounds like a plan to me. I believe that I have sufficient clothes. Honestly, how many shoes does one person even need? I do not think I am ever going to solve that conundrum."

As Emmet follows Cody, Jerry, and Manjit, he adds in a lower tone of voice "We need not restrict our wanderings solely to this mall, however. Ms. Kim never specified that we remain here, only that we return here by twenty-hundred hours. Why not use this chance to better explore the surrounding city?"

 

[Shalimar]

"Sure thing Clover, I'm game for anything you want to do. Pick a place and lead the way, I'm sure that us girls will follow along in solidarity." Trilly says as she looks to Stacey for confirmation.

"There's nothing I actually need. I'm here to follow along, play mule with the bags like I do for my sister, and tell you that the dress makes you look fat, also like I do for my sister come to think of it, though she hasn't actually picked out anything that looks bad since we started at King's school. She wants to be a fashion designer, so she is pretty much always on the mark." Clover says, though she trails off as she realizes she's babbling a bit.

"You should just give me a swat in the arm when I'm running on at the mouth like that. All that was to say, I don't have a prefference, and you said there were some things that you needed to get. Lets work off your list and I'm sure I'll spot some things while we are getting on with that? Right?"

"Well I could use some more shirts, jeans.." Trilly says as she spins around, checking her behind over and stretching (within human range) and hamming it up for Clover. "And possibly some 'delicates' and a few knick-kancks for my family."

Jerry shook his head, "Inconceivable. It's not like bathers."

As Emmet follows Cody, Jerry, and Manjit, he adds in a lower tone of voice "We need not restrict our wanderings solely to this mall, however. Ms. Kim never specified that we remain here, only that we return here by twenty-hundred hours. Why not use this chance to better explore the surrounding city?"

"Trust a hyper-genius to find the loophole; I'm in!"

Nick walks into the mall, giving a look around he makes his way to a map for a moment to see where he is in relation to the food court while subtly checking out the local décor and specimens of the opposite sex. Nick speaks aloud, “Hey dude, name’s Nick,” he looks around, “John right? So what they got you in for?”

John nods when the boy refers to him by name, ""I convert energy to strength, helpful when you need to lift a tractor."

“Alright Yoshi I figure we get drinks, we find some interesting people to talk to and get the lay of the land. I also got to look at some new shoes and workout clothes. No obvious use of powers… unless we can get away with it,” Nick grins glancing to John, “I am not saying to break the rules but what is the point of having these powers if we don’t have fun with them, within moderation of course.”

"I'm not what you would call subtle, partner," John says standing straight as he can. "Besides, things are strange enough without going and looking for trouble."

"This isn't home, this isn't home, don't make waves, keep your opinions to yourself." John thinks to himself.

"I reckon," Nick jokes, "that we can play it safe for now."

The interior of the mall is as modern looking as the outside. The majority of it is two levels, with certain areas taking up 4 or 5 stories.

Though there are a good number of native Eritreans here, both workers and patrons, it's looks athough at least half of the poeple here are not native to the country. Mudaba Adin is truly a global city. Much of the newer community was built by the UN and it had become home to both UN representatives as well as other people from around the world.


John & Nick
Yoshi nods as he scouts the place out. "Sounds good, dude. I'm down with that. I'm always looking for shoes, mine wear out pretty quick, go figure."

"I'm not sure how unobvious I can be," Layla sends. "But I'd rather not freak anyone out, I guess I can stick to speaking Arabic, some poeple speak it here." She doesn't expect the arm around her when it happens and pulls away. "Hey, not so fast there, buster," she tells Nick alone. She smiles, so she's not offended, but she adds, "I don't mind hanging out with you guys instead of the...'girly-girls?'...but let's not jump to conclusions, just yet."

The food court is not really busy this time of day, but there are a number of people milling about. More well known corporate fast food chains dominate, but there are some lesser known, possibly local, stands, as well.


Clover & Trilly

"I carry my own stuff. A totally foolproof plan to not spend too much, right?" Stacy says.

"I have never had that problem," Josee says with a hint of a smirk. She looks Trilly up and down. "More jeans? I see I have some work to do here..."


Emmet, Jerry & Cody

"You need to whisper a lot more quietly, I think," Jun Min loudly pretends to whisper herself with a smile as she comes up be. "You guys aren't limited to the mall, at all. Just understand that the way back to the school is here and if you're not when we go, make sure you make it back in time."

"I don't care where we go, as long as there's ice cream involved," Raph states.


Outside the mall

A young woman sighs, bags all around her, standing on the curb waiting for a vehicle to pick her up. As the last of the students make their way in, she sighs again and looks at her watch. Then, a quick glance behind her and she brings the watch closer to her face. "They're in," she quietly states before going back to scanning the parking lot.

"I don't know, it depends on how strong you are don't it?" Clover comments on Stacy's method of spending control. She herself didn't really have that problem, it was mostly her sister and mom who did the shopping, she could take it or leave it except for the company. "You might have to boot me from the girls club, but my twin does the shoppingg for us mostly. I could take it or leave it my own self. More about the company really."

Clover follows along good naturedly in the wake of the 3 girlier girls. She compliments the selections and goes along with just about everything Josee and Stacey suggest, even when it comes to things for herself. The british girl ended up being talked intoa pair of brown leather pants that were tight enough to lead her to the belief that her normally even-tempered father would heartily disapprove. After they left the boutique where she bought the pants and Josee bought a sweater, the next store over was the store that Trilly had teased her about.

"So love, fancy a stroll through to look for some new Alans?" she asks the southern girl.

"I'm not sure how unobvious I can be," Layla sends. "But I'd rather not freak anyone out, I guess I can stick to speaking Arabic, some poeple speak it here."

"The way I see it, you could always pretend to whisper in one of our ears and we could translate for you," he says making air quotes with his fingers. "That way it wouldn't look that suspicious."

She doesn't expect the arm around her when it happens and pulls away. "Hey, not so fast there, buster," she tells Nick alone. She smiles, so she's not offended, but she adds, "I don't mind hanging out with you guys instead of the...'girly-girls?'...but let's not jump to conclusions, just yet."

John was about to intercede when he sees Layla pull away and give Nick (at least he would assume) a stern lecture.

He walks over to an empty table, claiming it for the group. "So what are we going to have to eat?"
