Clothes. And stuff.

::Luke walks into the department store, looking at the wide array of clothing. Recalling his dinner with Ariel, he looks into the women's department, buying clothes that weren't so restrictive but not so masculine. Despite his embarassment, he buys the clothes and then heads to the men's department to buy new suits, boxer briefs and other types of clothes. He then heads over to the Book Shop after buying those clothes.::

::Carys walks in confidently and immediately makes her way to the underwear rack. She picks out about ten matching bra and panties and then a few bodysuits which she takes into the dressing room. She strips and puts on a few of each.::

(Not too many, Carys, they'll notice...though they're all so nice...)

::She puts as many on as possible and then dresses again complete with car battery and leaves the shop for the book shop.::

::A security guard speaks into his walkie talkie.::

"Average height blonde woman, heading to the book shop, taken several items without paying."

::Petunius heads into the store with Lily and then stops once they reach the ladies section.::

"Here we are. Coats, jackets, legwarmers. Everything you could possibly need all under one roof."

:: Lily nods at Petunius and walks straight to the jackets. She picks out the closest one to her that will fit her and immediately takes it to pay.::

(I wonder what he wants. He does seem...different than other men, but he's a man, he must want something.)

:: As soon as she buys the jacket, she pullls the price tags off it and puts it on. Feeling a lot more confident now, she walks back to Petunius.::

"Okay, I've got it. Thank you so much. Look, I don't want to be a burden on you. If there is something you should be doing, please don't let me stop you."

:: Lily looks to the floor a little as she says this.::

::Petunius smiles at Lily, wondering why on earth she'd want to buy a jacket in the middle of August.::

(I should get in touch with Prue. Let her know I'm okay to carry on with helping get back Paige and Carys...but that's not gonna kick off 'til tonight anyway.)

"No, really it's no burden. I don't actually have anything to do until tonight anyway. So if you, I dunno, wanna talk or whatever that's okay."

:: Smiles more warmly at Petunius.::

"Yeah, that would be nice. You seem like a really good person, thank you."

(Okay, he seems like one of the good guys.)

::Petunius smiles at Lily and nods before leading her to the coffee shop.::

::Sharon walks in and surveys most of the racks with distaste. She looks through some items, but, finding everything far below her price range, she leaves to find a designer store.::

::Valerie walks in, almost falling over with all the bags she has. Making her way to the womans department, she gets a couple skirts, shirts, pants, sweaters, bras, thongs, and other stuff. She pays for them and she leaves, now about 21 bags on her arms, to a coffee shop.::

::Wesley enters the department store, buys some new clothes to replace his muddy ones before wandering about the city. He eventually arrives at CW Apartments.::

::Aidan walks in, usually the prospect of clothes excited him, but he wasn't really in the mood this time. He scans the shelves and racks of clothes and gathers a few small tops and a couple of thirty inch waisted jeans, different shades of blue. The tops were mostly black and dark blue, he wasn't feeling up to colour. He sulks up to the counter and purchases the six items he just picked up. He'll get more later if he needs to.::

(Why were they so cruel to me, and, they had powers. I need to learn how to control mine, or people like them could kill me, seriously, and they live near me as well. I really need to be careful...)

::He then heads away to the Grocery Store.::

::Ryo walks in and heads to the men's section. He picks out a couple pairs of jeans that fit, a couple new shirts, a pack of boxer-briefs, and a pack of socks. He searches around and finds a new leather jacket, a cool new red hoodie, and a new pair of Nike shoes.::

"Yep, I think that is enough."

::Ryo checks out at a self-checkout lane and heads out, five bags jammed in his hands. He heads to the Magic Shop.::

::Aten walks through the sliding doors and past the security scanners. His eyes dart across the clothing sections as he walks, and upon spying men's he head off in that direction. He passes racks of clothing either side of him, not seeing anything of interest. Finally he sees some things he would wear, and approaches the rail. He picks up a pair or loose fitting black jeans, a metal studded belt, and a fitted short sleeved red top. He continues walking and as he passes another rail takes a long sleeved black top. Confronted by a shelving unit of shoes he reaches for a pair of heavy black biker boots and heads for the changing rooms. He enters a stall and throws the curtain to the other side of the rail, shutting himself off from prying eyes.::

(Right, now to get out of here...Theres noone in this shop anyways and I'm pretty sure I wasnt picked up on the security cameras. Anyways, theres none in the changing rooms.)

::He clutches the items tightly and shimmers out to Aten's Apartment.::

::Sera walks into the shop with Valerie and Aidan. She looks around at all the clothes...and stuff, then drags Val over to a nearby jewelry counter, looking at all the rings with gems and shiz.::

"See anything you like?"

::Valerie looks at the rings and shiz, pausing every now and then. She stops suddenly, looking at one ring. It has a dimond in the middle with two saphire's on each side. The band is, naturally, gold.::

::Aidan looks around at the clothes, wondering whether he should buy anything.::

(Hmm, do I need anything in particular?)

::Sera sees Val eyeing the one ring and catches a glimpse of the price. Grimacing slightly to herself, she turns to Val and smiles.::

"That one?"

(It's worth it, dammit.)

::Aidan looks over their shoulders.::

"Ooo pretty..."

(That silver one is nicer though, but, if the lady likes gold, wait, is Sera going to buy her that? How expensive is that? She must either love her loads, or Val puts out...A LOT. I wonder if Ryo would buy me pretty things?)

"Yes."

::Val smiles sweetly.::

"Okay."

::Sera nods, takes a deep breath, and pulls out one of her many credit cards from out of nowhere. She buys the ring and watches as the cashier puts it in a nice box. She then takes the box and puts it deep in her clothes somewhere, grinning at Val.::

"You'll get it later on tonight..."

::Sera's grin widens.::

"Most of these clothes are last season any-hoo. Where to next?"

::He randomly picks up a shirt before replacing it on the rail.::

(I wonder if Ryo's awake...)

::Val smiles, happy she got the pretty ring.::

"Heh."

::Sera grins.::

(She might be a tad bit shallow and somewhat slow, but she's mine.)

::She turns to Aidan and shrugs.::

"Anywhere."

::Sera then turns back to Val.::

"Where do you want to go, Val, as it is your 'special' day?"

"Yeah Val anywhere you like...."

::He smiles.::

(Where do I want to go?)

::Only one thing comes to mind, though she's not sure this place even has one. She sounds kinda unsure.::

"Maybe a spa?"

::Sera frowns.::

"I don't know if there's one around here..."

::She thinks a minute.::

"How about later today, or whenever, you can come over and use my enormous bathroom, and I'll give you a massage, manicure, and pedicure? And anything else you feel like having."

::Sera grins, wondering if Val caught the hidden meaning.::

(KINKY!)

::Aidan stares a little.::

::Which Val did. See, she's not slow.::

"Okay, sounds fun."

(Oh, it will be.)

::Sera's grin widens.::

"Okay, well, what do you want to do now? You know, I could actually do with some coffee."

::As if on cue, she yawns, but suppresses it, her jaw cracking slightly.::

"There's a good coffee shop here."

"Sure why not! Nothing like coffee to wake you up! I'm more tired than usual today!"

::He says this, regardless of the fact he is practically vibrating.::

(I don't think he needs coffee. He'll go psychotic.)

::Sera grins and shakes her head in an 'oh Aidan' kind of way. She then leads them out of the store and to the coffee shop.::

::Julie enters along with Azura.::

"Hum..."

::She looks down the aisles.::

:: Azura follows, fingering clothes here and there and making faces at things she thinks are tasteless. Which are most of the clothes present.::

(Why do people wear such things?)

::Julie goes down another aisle looking at the dresses, she comes upon the sexiest red dress alive.::

(This is such a nice dress... I wonder if Andrea would like it.)

::She holds it up against herself and looks in the mirror.::

"Hm..."

::She looks thoughtful.::

"Azura, could you come here for a second? I need your opinion."

(If anything she'll be honest.)

:: Azura stops giving a skirt that is barely there the evil eye and finds her way to Julie.::

"Yes?"

"What do you think of this dress?"
