Strawberry Short-hair (Seiya Hangout Thread) (RANK UP!)

[seiyayamada]

((Open RP, I welcome multiple threads! <3)) It had been a few days since... the incident. Seiya and her friends were able to save Miho, however, there'd been some emotional side effects. Well, and physical. Seated behind the Yamada Mart counter, it was her first day back in the saddle after the whole ordeal. Mr. Yamada had somehow had a miraculous moment of compassion and let his daughter stay home for about four days. Now that her little mini vacation was up, the girl was expected to be bright eyed and bushy tailed for a while. Still, despite the expectations put on her, Seiya couldn't help but feel down. Self-consciously tugging at her now stubby pony tail, the girl reflected on what she'd told Greg about her hair. How important it was to her, and how it was the one thing in her life that she could control. Oh well. Win some and lose some. Propping her feet up on the counter, she opened a magazine, deciding to lose herself in the lives of celebrities for a while.

"Yeah, I'll give it a look." The boy scurried off to that hard candy section, still a little overwhelmed with the sheer amount of candy here. That jingle on freaking loop was going to be stuck in his head for the next several days, by the way. It didn't take him too long to find a Jolly Rancher-esque candy, and Greg loaded up the bottom of his bag with that. What next? Maybe something... Chocolate. Back to Seiya's side! She might've caught him grinning, but it was hard not to in a place like this. "I got something, uh, close enough."

[seiyayamada]

Seiya was busying herself with the reeses pieces. Slowly, her bag was becoming quite colorful! The girl only put half a scoop of each candy in her bag, resulting in thin carefully chosen layers. When he returned to her side, she flashed a thumbs up. "Good work!" Skipping off across the way, she became infatuated with various chalky candies. Scooping up some multi-colored bones, she couldn't help but giggle. It was just such a joyful environment!

Her friend there proved a little more greedy; he'd already filled at least 1/4 of the bag with those hard candies. Now he was surveying the chocolates and rubbing his chin... Just chocolate, or chocolate and peanut butter? Seiya had gotten Reese's Pieces, which meant in a pinch he could realistically just steal a few from her. Plain chocolate it was! Several little foil-wrapped chocolate coins went into the bag, and then he moved right along to sour. These were his favorite! The more of that sour powder stuff, the better. Speaking of, did they have Warheads? Time to look.

Peppermint man danced his way into the store, shuffling like a pro. He wiggled, moonwalking towards the back. Seiya snickered, dumping a few more choices in her little bag. Of course, after that beautiful display, Seiya had to put some individually wrapped mints in as well. "Howsit goin over there, Guregoriiii?"

[americandiplomacy]

"Uhh... Think I could use a little advice, actually..!" Greg had managed to fill most of his bag, but now he was back in front of the sour candies and looking /thoughtful/. He watched the man in the costume show his moves with a raised eyebrow, and then turned in Seiya's direction. "You into sour candy, at all? What's the best one here..?" It looked like he'd packed a lot of the candies from this particular section into his little bag already.

[seiyayamada]

Seiya smiled, happy to help him. Nodding, she began to join his thoughtful contemplation over sour candy. "Mmkay. If you want something reeeeally sour, you should get these." She raised a finger, pointing at a bunch of bright fire engine red little balls. "If you're a more timid sour fan, the orange are the next level down, and then yellow is for babies."

[americandiplomacy]

Hmmm. Not an easy decision, though he was already certain he didn't want the yellow kind. Greg filled up the small portion of his bag that was still empty with half red and half orange, figuring that'd do. "All right, uh... Mine's full, then. How's yours looking?" He tried to get a look at Seiya's bag, a little curious about what she'd chosen.

The top of the girl's bag was full of gummy worms. She twisted it closed, taking twizzler from the dispenser and wrapping it around her bag. Turning to Greg, she offered him his own little tie. "Looking tasty! Places like this are horrible for me. If I'm allowed near this much candy, I might just eat it all." Grinning, she headed for the counter, where Peppermint Man was doing the worm. Wow.

[americandiplomacy]

"Heh. My bag usually lasts a day or two, but not much longer than that." Greg followed her to the counter while tying his bag up... At least he was paying for his own this time! The boy already had his wallet ready by the time they got there, though he did stop to give peppermint man the consideration that he frankly deserved. How much were they paying this guy? It should probably be doubled. "Is this their, uhhh... 'Thing'?"

[seiyayamada]

Following him to the counter, she waited behind him as the not so enthused girl behind the counter rang him up.

"Takashi get up off the floor you're embarrassing yourself." The clerk mumbled, the cash register springing open.

The peppermint man jumped up to his feet, wiggling his arms like spaghetti.

[americandiplomacy]

Oh, his favorite kind of customer service. Greg wasn't even being sarcastic about that one, the best way to get in and out of a store efficiently was with a clerk who actively didn't like you and wanted you out as soon as possible. For that reason his payment was real quick, and he stepped aside so that Seiya could take care of hers hopefully in the same fashion. "You like gummy stuff, uh..." He paused to watch peppermint man dance, "... Don't you?"

[seiyayamada]

"A lot." Seiya beamed, placing her bag down as she fished out her wallet. Paying the cashier in a timely manner, she reclaimed her candy.

Peppermint Man, however, wasn't so eager to see them go. He obstructed their path to the door with his rendition of the robot, his googly eyes dangling around as he moved.
