Burning time, burning money, and building bridges [Kari and Sho SL]

One thing that sucked about living in a orphanage is that you do not really own anything. Sure you could get your hands on toys and such, sometimes you'd luck out and the clothes you really like would only fit on you. But for the most part you had to share everything, and while sharing is caring and all that jazz. It got real annoying, real quick when everything you had could be taken at anytime or given away if the caregivers felt like the other kids didn't have enough at that moment. Cherry just wanted something of her own, and today she could finally fulfill this desire. The teen got some spending money for her trip the the central city, but she has also been collecting money she found on the streets for a little while now. So she had plenty of spending money and what better place to burn some cash then at the plaza mall? A place designed to give many impulsive, financially irresponsible people a perfect area to buy and buy to their heart's content.

The place was truely huge and Cherry was worried about getting lost in this place, but right now she wanted to find something to buy. It couldn't be anything too big or fancy, lest the other kids find out. But it still needed to be something worth while and so far at least, nothing she found fit that. But surely there had too be something that would make for a good gift for herself here, she just had to keep looking. So with some pep in her step, the girl entered into a little store that sold some knick knacks. Trying to see if anything called out to her. With no luck as of yet.

Sho had decided to take a walk, making the park his destination; however, before reaching the park, he would take a detour and go to the mall instead. While this was a place where many people gathered, even more so than usual thanks to the festival, the ginger was not afraid as he moved through the crowds with ease, his dress wear casual and looking like any ordinary person around. Still even dressed like this he was aware of his surroundings due to the fact, he was alone and that there was always a potential that despite being as plain as possible some fan or what not would notice him and in turn try to approach him in some way. It was an awareness that kept him on the look out for certain behaviors and kept him from going into stores too popular for their own good at this hour.

Between this and simply not liking crowds in general despite his job demanding him to deal with when he was on duty, the ginger found himself slipping into a small knick knacks store that didn't have large crowds in it. In fact, there was hardly anyone in it at all. Though upon looking around at the strange items this shop had, Sho found himself becoming quite intrigued and venturing further into the store, passing by a girl browsing about. He didn't bother the shopper as a display of jewelry caught his interest. Drifting over to the display wedged between a display of strange masks and what could've been blankets or maybe ponchos it was hard to tell, the young man would lean forward slightly to examine the odd pieces that ranged from earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces and more.

The items in this store were very interesting for sure, but nothing really leaped out at her. Somethings were just a little bit to off beat for her taste, while others had the opposite problem, being much to boring and bland to actually catch her eye. Still though, even if nothing her proved good enough for her to buy, she was still enjoying her time just walking around this neat little store, so it wasn't totally fruitless. In fact, it seemed somebody just came in while she was busy looking around. A small little chat with a stranger wouldn't hurt anybody, that was amusing that the pretty boy even wanted to talk to her, some people were a bit put off with a girl like Cherry just randomly coming over to chat them up after all. She hoped that he wasn't one of those people though, after all, one person can change what was going to be a neat little trip into something truly special.

Walking next to the older boy, the teen would hunch over, her hands on her knees as she looked at the items the blonde lad was gazing at what he was looking at. After a few seconds of her eye scanning the jewerly, she'd let out a impressed whistle. "Their awfully pretty aren't they?" She asked, her eye bouncing over to him before she brought her gaze right back to the case. Staring at them. They really were nice looking, although Cherry herself never really was all that fond of them, barring maybe some earrings. She had nothing against fancy stuff like bracelets, she just felt that most of that stuff just wasn't her style. The idea of her trying to pull off a fancy golden necklance and gaudy rings almost made her chuckle from how ridiculous the very notion was.
