"I already won."

Covet: -Getting the message from Jade she made her way to the food court, spotting Jade- Hey, have you been waiting long?  -She asked her looking around to see how busy the mall was.-
Tsaaq: ((Just kidding about the just kidding.))
Covet: [ROFLMAO]
Alexithymiaa: (BITCH WHAT ARE YOU DOING)
Alexithymiaa: -She turned when she heard Cadence's voice, shaking her head and replacing her phone in her bag. "No, I only got here a little while ago. I forgot what stores were here...."-
Tsaaq: ((I told you I didn't know where to put people.))
Covet: Ah, -She looked around, tucking her phone back into her pocket- Like, in the mall? Or just the food court? -she asked then shrugged non-chalantly- I can't really blame you for either. I typically come in to a few stores, or for food, and that's about it.  I take it we're doing smoothies first?
Alexithymiaa: "In general. I just havent been here in a while and I usually go straight to hot topic." She nodded at the smoothie comment, turning and starting to walk over to where the stand was. "Yes. Smoothies need to be in hand before we start shopping."-
Tsaaq: Thaddeus paced his shop with his arms crossed, taking his phone out of his pocket. // Bobbi shook his head. "Girlllll, put yo phone away!" He shouted jokingly, the store was pretty much empty and shit.
jajki: Ivy struts through the mall, dividing her attention between her phone and maneuvering around people as she makes her way to Thad’s store.  As she nears the angsty store front she places her phone in its spot in her purse.  She puts on a pleasant smile before stepping through the entrance and moving straight towards the clothes and stuff.
Covet: -Cadence nodded- Couldn't have said it better myself. -She looked up at the menu and glanced it over- I think I'm going with a banana mango with a protien shot. We're totally stopping in there. I've got a few things I need to hunt down, and I want to check out jewlery.
Alexithymiaa: "I think I want new tongue rings so that's fine." Her eyes looked over the menu, leaning forward to give her order as well. "A medium Peaches N' Cream." She watched as they made their shit, turning to look at Cadence again. "Do you usually shop there?"-
Tsaaq: "Hey!" He called out and walked over to Ivy, nudging her with his hip and looking over the clothes. "I know what you should wear." Thaddeus said with a smirk. // He sat up on the counter and furrowed his drawn on eyebrows. "Thaddeus why do you always have different girls coming in here?" Bobbi asked loudly and obnoxiously.
jajki: Ivy runs her fingertips over one of the dresses before turning her head to peer at Thaddeus, flipping her hair as she does.  “Well hi.  Picked something out already?”  With one more glance towards the clothes she turns away and glances at the man on the counter, being sure to give him a sweet smile.  “He’s just so popular, that’s why!"
Covet: Eh, here and there I do, yeah. Music selections and then the odds and end things here and there. -Cadence told her while she waited for her smoothie- I got to JC Penny's a lot...Store card...good shit there.
Alexithymiaa: "I don't think I've really been in there much..." She trailed off, taking her smoothie and handing over her credit card before they even asked her for it. "So you were going to tell me about... Batman?"-
Tsaaq: Thaddeus brought his hand to the rack and shuffled through the dresses. "Yeah, black lace okay? It should go well with your skin anyways." He said as he held out the dress to her then weaved through the other racks to grab another dress. "Have you spoken to that dumb jock lately?" Thaddeus asked as he went to look for the other dress he had picked out for her. // "Mhhhhmmmm." He said in all of his drag queen glory, flipping his pink hair over his shoulder and hopping off the counter and going to the register.
jajki: Ivy holds the sweet smile until she looks back to Thaddeus and the expression changes to more of a smirk.  “Just don’t make me look angsty.  It doesn’t go with the image.”  She follows behind him like a duckling as he moves through the racks.  “Ah, I didn’t this weekend.  I should do that."
Covet: Oh, right. So I vaguely remember telling you about ex best friend. Who's room you now have. We used to do this whole Batman and Robin thing together...Then she got with her now boyfriend and I became Wannabe Batman. There used to be Batman shit up on the walls and what not, but I took all that down not long after she moved out. I just wasn't feeling it anymore. -Cadence told her as she grabbed her smoothie and started walking towards the shops-
Alexithymiaa: "That's kind of sad..." She took a sip of her smoothie and walked down the corridor, scanning the shops as they went. "You shouldnt just not like something you liked because of her though."-
Tsaaq: He rolled his eyes at her. "I wouldn't make you look angsty. What am I? A dumbass?" Thaddeus muttered as he handed her the next dress. "We sell colors now, so you're stereotyping us." He went to push her towards the dressing room. // Bobbi sucked his teeth and looked at the sales of the day. "Tell your friend to hurry up. I want to close."
jajki: “I don’t know, are you?”  Ivy asks as she’s ushered towards the dressing rooms.  “Stereotypes are how I get by in life.”  She states as she steps inside one of the rooms with the dress.  She grins as she shuts the door then starts to change and stuff.
Covet: Eh, it's not quite like that. I just didn't feel the same attachment to it as I did before. I didn't identify with Batman anymore, and there for a while it was kind of a bitter reminder. Now it's just kind of...I don't want to say numb, just mute.  -She said the satement in a rather casual tone-
Alexithymiaa: "Oh. Sorry..." She took another sip of her smoothie, falling into silence because what the fuck do you even say to that? She stopped outside of GameStop, pointing a finger at the store. "Did you want to go in here?"
Tsaaq: "I'm definitely not so don't piss me off." Thaddeus said as he put his hands in his pockets and waited for her to be done. "I mean yeah but shut up cause my boss is here." He grumbled. // Bobbi looked over at the two of them, being nosy as fuck.
jajki: “Okaaaaay.”  Ivy says in a low voice as she squeezes herself into the black lace.  She struggles with the zipper for a moment before getting everything situated and stepping back out of the dressing room.  “Well I mean…I guess you know how to pick a dress.  Does it look alright on?"
Covet: Yeah actually. -Cadence gave a nod and sipped from her drink- Eh, it is what it is. Sometimes, friendships just don't last. But it's not something I regret, nor was it wasted time. Things just change. -she walked into Game Stop and browsed about to find the game they were both looking for- It's a gamble you take with friends, that shouldn't discourage you from making them though.
Alexithymiaa: -She followed her into the door and looked around, aimlessly picking up games to scan the back of the boxes. "Yeah, you sound really convincing with how depressing you made it seem. Good talk." Putting down the game she was holding, she moved up beside Cadence and picked up her own copy of Rachet and Clank. "Done."-
Tsaaq: He rose one of his bushy eyebrows and looked Ivy up and down. "Looks good but try on the other one." Thaddeus demanded and placed her hands on her shoulder to push her back into the dressing room. "So the party on Thursday. What's the updates on that?" He asked.
jajki: Ivy stumbles back into the dressing room with a bit of a squeal.  “Oh my god, okay pushy!” she says as she closes the door.  She does a bit of shimmying to remove herself from the black lace.  She hangs it on its hanger carefully as she responds.  “Uhm.  Ozzie’s getting alcohol with Jade’s money but I need to check on that.  I also need to text him and make sure Jamie’s coming.  Actually…let me do that now.”  Still half naked she picks up her phone and sends off a quick text.
Covet: Okay but that didn't happen until years later. We were friends for a good time before shit changed.  People change, I can't help that. Sometimes they change together, and sometimes they don't. I'm not trying to make it sound depressing. Believe me...I can make it sound depressing. I'm trying to convince you that even though it can get bad and be bad, doesn't mean it's ALWAYS that way. -She grabbed a copy of the game as well, then browsed the shelves a bit seeing if there was anything else that caught her attention-
Alexithymiaa: "Well I'm not going to do that to you. You can be whoever you want to be, whenever you want to be it." She grabbed a copy of Rocket League because why the fuck not, adding it to the other game in her hand before making her way up to get in line for the cashier.-
Tsaaq: Thaddeus nodded his head and leaned against the wall near the changing room thing. "I'm just trying to make sure our ducks are all in a row." He said, glancing at his boss across the room. "I've got the stuff for you and everything. Plus, I have some prewritten confessions for Jade too. They're pretty hilarious."
jajki: Ivy waits for a response before setting her phone down and sliding into the white dress.  She adjusts her breasts and grins at his comment.  “Well, mine are.”  She zips up the dress before stepping out of the dressing room and holding her arms out.  “Awesome.  I’m excited.  Also, Ozzie said he’d invite Jamie."
Covet: Hey that's cool. I'll pretty much treat you the same. Unless you start doing crazy shit that's like...bad for your health and crap...but I'd expect someone to do the same if I start doing that shit. -Cadence explained with a chuckle, as she got up to the cashier, getting her card out of her wallet-
Alexithymiaa: "Like too much caffeine or....?" She trailed off because she genuinely had no idea what the fuck Cadence was referring to. When the cashier prompted her for payment, she slid him her card, turning back to look at Cadence as she took her bag. "I guess you could die from too much caffeine. But that would be a LOT of coffee."-
Guest_slamyourskull: Y'all so rude!
Guest_slamyourskull: I'm not staying
Guest_slamyourskull: Just wanted to say I wanted to join in
Tsaaq: ((Use parentheses!))
Covet: [.....Well then....]
Tsaaq: "Don't make me slap you once you walk out of there." Thad said sternly and crossed his arms, he looked her over and nodded. "Don't wear a bra, don't wear panties. You'll look innocent but hot." He said pointing at her outfit. // "Ewww don't do that! Wear panties you little nasties!" Bobbi shouted from the register.
Alexithymiaa: (Why did he come in yelling that we're rude before anyone said anything to him?)
Tsaaq: ((The other room we booted him.))
Alexithymiaa: (Oh fucking cry about it)
jajki: Ivy rolls her eyes and looks down at the dress causing a small smile to come to her face.  “Oh don’t slap me.  I was just being funny.  You’re not driving this time so it’s fine.”  She looks up and flips her hair over her shoulder before placing her hands on her hips.  “I-“  She pauses at Bobbi’s comment and peers at him from around Thaddeus.  “Aw, we’re not nasty!"
Covet: -Cadence laughed- Oh god no, Unless you are like popping trucker pills and drinking Coffee by the gallon, or look like you're running on fumes for days, or something crazy like that. -She said waiving her hand-I'm talking about abusing pain killers, starving yourself...isolating yourself, those kinds of things. -She explained while she took the game in it's bag and started to head out of the store-
Alexithymiaa: "I'm just going to say that isolating yourself from shitty people is fine." She interjected, following Cadence out of the store. "But I wouldnt do any of that other stuff so we're fine."-
Tsaaq: Thaddeus shook his head at Bobbi. "Mind your business!" He called out then turned back to Ivy. "Okay which one are you buying? The white one?" Thad asked hurriedly. "I will slap you, just when you don't expect it. You'll see." //  Bobbi shook his head. "Nasty." He whispered under his breath and pointed between the two of them. "Buy your thing and get out I want to close, take off my face."
jajki: Ivy presses her lips together and adjusts her stance to stick her hip out sassily.  “Yeah, the white one.  And if you slap me I’ll slap you right back.”  She smiles sweetly at him before spinning and trotting back into the dressing room to put her regular clothes back on.
Covet: Okay Occasionally isolating yourself from shitty people is alright...But it can't become a constant habbit. -She told Jade- Are we heading to Hot Topic now? It should be an equally quick trip in there. [Just to annoy Bobbi lmao]
Alexithymiaa: "Sure." She continued through the mall toward hot topic, turning into the store and walking straight for the body jewelry display case, her eyes scanning what was in stock and not paying any mind to anyone else in there.0
Tsaaq: "Just make sure it's on my ass." He said jokingly and glanced at the door then at Bobbi. "Looks like more people." Thaddeus said cause he knew it would piss Bobbi off. He looked over at Jade as she came into the store. "Hey, welcome to Hot Topic, do you need any help?" He asked in a monotone and looked back at the dressing room, waiting for Ivy to emerge. // Bobbi groaned and threw his head back. "I need to take off this wig!" He complained.
jajki: Ivy steps out of the dressing room after putting her regular clothes back on with the white dress draped over her arm.  It takes her a second to register the other occupants of the store but once she does out comes her bright smile and bubbly personality.  “Ohmygoodness!”  She looks to Thaddeus for a brief moment before focusing her attention on Jade.  “Jade!  I’ve been hoping I’d run into you!"
Covet: Nope we've got it, but thanks. -Cadence said to Thad, not impressed with his tone. She wandered back to the Male hoodie section and looked through them until she found the one she'd seen online. She tucked it over her arm and went back to the jewlery section looking at earings. She found a couple of sets she wanted- Think I can make these work? -she asked Jade, holding them up. Hearing the bubbly voice practically grate her ears she turned around to face Ivy, then look at Jade, not able to see in what world the two of them would hang out-
Alexithymiaa: -Jade turned her head to look at Ivy, toying with the tongue ring in her mouth as she forced a very fake smile. "Yeah... hi....." She abruptly turned back to Cadence so she could see her earrings. "Yeah, those are nice. I have to go though. So... I'll just... see you at home." She spun around and made a bee line out of the store, power walking her ass through he mall in the opposite direction so she could call herself a cab.-
Tsaaq: Thaddeus smirked and watched Ivy and Jade talk for the short moment, not even listening to what Cadence had said. He covered his mouth with his tatted hand, trying not to die laughing. "You're the best." He whispered to Ivy and went to the register. // "Okay one down. The rest of you. Ugh." Bobbi complained as he looked at Thad. "I'm going to make you open all next week if you don't get all these girls out of here."
jajki: Ivy does her gosh darn best not to smirk at Thad’s whisper, instead putting on a face of disappointment and worry for Cadence as she watches Jade leave the store.  “Poo.  I wanted to apologize to her.”  She turns her innocent expression to the other female and basically pouts.  “I upset her last week and I feel super bad."
Covet: Sweet, getting them. -She said taking them in her hand then furrowed her brow- Uh, alright. That's cool Thanks for hanging out. We'll do it again sometime....-she called after Jade, then gave Ivy a raised eyebrow at the look she gave as she walked past her smelling the fake bullshit- Right...I'm sure you do. I'll let her know just how bad you feel.  Scuse me I've got to get this purchased before Bobbi has a coniption fit. -She walked up to the counter where Bobbi and Thad were and set the sweatshirt down with the earings on top of it. Then she pulled out her credit card and her hot topic card on top of that.-
Alexithymiaa: (YOU LYING BITCH.)
Tsaaq: "Would you like to donate to the Hot Topic music foundation?" Thaddeus asked Cadence in a monotone as he swiped all her items and put them in a bag. He looked over at Ivy and pushed his glasses up his nose. He waved his hand at her towards the door. "I'll just pay for it later. Call me." Thad tried to say on the low-low cause it wasn't Cadence's business. // Bobbi exhaled with relief and went to straighten up the shelves. "Good job. Soon you'll be running this store and I can focus on my makeup artist career."  He patted Thaddeus' high ass shoulder before he walked away from the counter.
jajki: Ivy smiles to Cadence before giggling lightly at her comment.  “Yeah, I feel like he’s been having once since I got in here.”  Tilting her head to the side she puts on a more genuine expression and nods.  “Please do.  I really didn’t mean to upset her.  I’m just a little too outgoing sometimes I guess.”  She watches as the other woman goes to check out but keeps her expression up.  She meets Thad’s eyes and nods.  “Alrighty.  Text me when you’re done!  Byeeee!”  With the dress still over her arm she struts out of the store and out into the mall.
Covet: -She was making a point not to look at Thad, which only made the hair stand up on the back of her neck when she listened heard his voice, something sounding...weirdly familiar, but she couldn't place it because it was too monotonous.- Uh yeah, sure, I'll donate ten bucks. -She responeded, furrowing her brow hearing his comment to Ivy about calling him, but didnt really think anything of it, other than Ivy sounded annoyingly chipper.-
Tsaaq: He watched as Ivy walked out and even groaned at Bobbi. "I don't want to be a GM at Hot Topic. That is not a goal I have." He grumbled as he held his hand out for the money as he finished punching everything in. "Your total is... A number. Money I guess." Thad said.
Covet: -She put the card in his hand and rolled her eyes- Yeah that's probably a good thing...your customer service skills are just top notch for such a job. -She mumbled more to herself but probably louder than intended., waiting for the purchase to go through-
Tsaaq: "Some of us have to work jobs instead of spending our time fucking an ex-drug addict and being obnoxious." Thaddeus said with a small laugh. "Oh wait, a million dollars is your total. Of course. Must've slipped my mind." Thaddeus said sarcastically, faking a smack to his own head and putting on a face smile as he swiped the card then handed it back to her. "Thank you for shopping at Hot Topic we hope to see you again soon." He told her in a monotone then went to count his cash drawer.
Covet: -Cadence stared at him unamused and feeling slightly apprehensive. But that didn't keep her from flipping attitude back at him- Sucks to be you I suppose. Make sure the most of that ridiculous total goes to charity, I'd hate for it to be going back into your pockets. -She took the card and put it back in her wallet then grabbed her things to head out of the store-
Tsaaq: He smiled as she began to walk out, waiting for the right moment before speaking again. "It is!" Thaddeus shouted. "Now I can buy your boyfriend some cocaine and he live a little." He chuckled and kept counting the drawer waiting for her to react. "Oh yeah I found that out from his sister OH WAIT! You don't know. I've been fucking the SHIT out of his sister. You know? Hayley? The ones you guys said I raped? Yeah. That story doesn't hold up anymore now, does it?" He rambled condescendingly with a smirk.
Covet: -Cadence turned around and stared at him, his voice really starting to ring clearer now that he wasn't as flat. Her stomach knotted and she felt suddenly sick. Her hand clutched her bag as she felt her heart racing, but she did her best not to sound shaken- Thanks for that information. It's good to see you still think so highly of yourself. It'll only make your fall that much more amusing. Have a great night Thad. -she said with no sincerity as she turned back around and made her way quickly out of the mall and quickly back to her apartment-
Tsaaq: "I already won." He shrugged and closed his drawer as so as she was gone. Thaddeus went to straighten up the floor with Bobbi so they could close things and leave. // "What the hell took her so long to leave?" Bobbi asked.// "I don't know she's just a stupid cunt." He scoffed and did things before shutting off the lights and locking the doors so he and his boss could go home.
Covet: [WOO!]
