We're going shopping [KYRIE/TANYA/CHRIS/ALICE]

[Oleg Kirrlov]

"I was thinking shooter war for now." Oleg nodded as Kyrie reached to grab a party game. "Hmm. Wait, waait a second." Oleg then reached his hand deeper into the shelf, onto the dreaded backlog, the area where old games were, and where new games dared not to enter. He then pulled out the jackpot. "... Kyrie. Kyrie, hey Kyrie. Guess what I found?" He grinned like a ten year old child, holding out a rather old looking game, wiping some dust from the cover. "Fantasy hearts 2 final mix! They stopped selling these back where I was from when I was like seven! And they have one of those!"

Oleg practically jumped up, cheering to himself as he held out the game. "This thing was my childhood! Massive world, loads of different skills, different worlds, lots of characters! The best selling gamesphere game of that year! He continued grinning, looking to Kyrie as he waited her reaction.

[Tanya Christianson]

Tanya nodded in agreement with Alice's statement, finding humor in the situation of the similar choices in pokemon. She considered challenging Alice to a pokemon battle, before remembering that they were in a shopping mall, meaning that it probably wasn't the brightest idea in the world. Tanya was interested to see how she would build up her Skrelp and Snivy. It probably was going to be pretty different to how she would build hers up. The thought was exciting.

Hearing Oleg, Tanya moved over to the two of them, dragging Alice behind her. Oleg seemed to be cheering about them selling a game. Looking at the cover, Tanya recognized the game that he was excited about. After all, she used to play that game a lot on her own Gamesphere.

"Oh yeah, Fantasy Hearts 2 Final Mix is a really awesome game. I used to play the hell out of it. I completed the story, but I don't think I ever got 100%." Tanya thought out loud, grinning at the two of them before bringing Alice into the spotlight. "Oh yeah, this is Alice! We met at the Party Pier."

[Kyrie Vyler]

Kyrie paused, looking up at Oleg who was so keen on getting her attention. At first she gave him a questioning look, her eyes beginning to glitter at the sight. Her eyes widened at the sight, almost glowing with happiness that she felt inside. How long had it been since she played that game? Not since she was just a kid that was for sure. She listened to Tanya as the Wave girl chimed in, her eyes glittering even more. The girl had played a classic! She was salvageable after all! Kyrie caught herself before she could throw her hands up in the air out of pure joy. "It's been so long since I've played that game. I don't remember how high the percentage I got was." Kyrie admitted, chewing on the candy.

She looked over to the girl that she had once battled before, never actually knowing her name or anything other than that she was from the same dorm as her. Alice, Tanya called her. Kyrie looked at her fellow Mana Dormer. "Kyrie Vyler." She introduced herself in her simple way before looking to Tanya, "Party?"

The espeon returned his fellow pokemon's greeting with a wave of his tail. A short cry left him with a message of 'What are you doing here though? Your trainer doesn't seem like the type to sit in front of a box.' That could've been offensive to the gamers had they actually understood his espeon cried. It was a good they couldn't.

[Alice Geissler]

And the next thing she knew, she was being brought into the spotlight where Tanya had introduced her to some people that she seemed to know. The girl that she battled once was Kyrie which was a name that she hadn't gotten since that battle. "Nice to meet you, Kyrie. It's a pleasure to meet a fellow Mana Dormer." The seahorse greeted the Espeon with a wave of his hand-fin. At least, the purple cat seemed to be nice enough like the fox. Speaking of which, there were some video games that could be popular with the teenagers, though she hadn't decided which ones to get in the future. Some of those video games seemed a little too violent for her tastes while some of them had a kinder rating for the younger children. Might be a good idea to get those games that have cartoon violence which was okay, considering that most parents would be leaning towards nonviolence.

[Chris Thyodor]

So they're all excited about some old game eh? well, to each there own, especially if it's a classic like they say, why wouldn't someone want to have a classic to play? Even if you aren't a massive gamer... a classic is still a classic, and who can complain about a classic? Anyway, focus Chris, focus... your here for headphones not games... so you can avoid speaking to Seria if she does try and speak to him.

Dusk found herself chuckling and nodding at Mammon, honestly that is certainly accurate, he isn't the type to sit in front of a box all day and hit buttons and watch a screen... why do people even bother doing that anyway? It's not constructive at all... surely much more constructive things can be done in ones time. She let off another cry as a response to Mammon, which went along the lines of 'well... that actually is quite accurate, he's here more for headphones than anything else, his logic was that gamers always seem to have good headsets and headphones, so logically it'd make sense they were sold alongside them, which is accurate, as they can be seen over there' Dusk stated, pointing over to a section designated for the aforementioned devices.

[Oleg Kirrlov]

Oleg just grinned more and more as both Tanya and Kyrie revealed that they both had played the game and probably 100% finished it. "I remember completing it 100% at least ten times! I loved all those boss battles, all those different types of worlds!" He laughed to himself, clearly cheered up greatly by founding this old classic.

His attention then turned to this Alice. Hm, he had seen her before at different classes, and she seemed to be alright. "Oleg Kirrlov, pleasure to meet ya. And you were at the party pier too?" He stroked the back of his neck for a moment, turning his head to Kyrie. "Well. You know that pier? Yeah, apparently it's a real booming party place at night. I decided to look into it one weekend, and so did a few others. I thought about asking you to come too, but knowing ya, I thought maybe it's best not to."

[Tanya Christianson]

"Oh yeah! You weren't there." Tanya exclaimed, realizing that Kyrie wasn't at the Party Pier with the others. As she was about to explain what it was, Oleg started to tell Kyrie about the Party Pier. When Oleg mentioned mentioned that it was not a good idea for Kyrie to come, Tanya could not nod her head more vigorously.

"I have to agree with Oleg there. That place was not for you. There were people everywhere. It got to the point where you'd get sweaty just by the sheer number." Tanya explained, realizing that crowds were not Kyrie's idea of fun at all. She knew that parties like that were not everyone's cup of tea nor were people too used to it. Tanya didn't find it too bad. She was comfortable with the way she was after all.

At that moment, Tanya remembered that Alice was there as well. Wanting to find a way to bring Alice into the conversation, she tried to think of a way of introducing video games into the conversation for her.

"So what brings you here Alice?" Tanya asked, turning her attention to Alice, the back to the rest of the group. "You play video games a lot?"

[Kyrie Vyler]

Kyrie could already feel the blood leave her face as the duo talked about the pier, getting a chill at the mention of there being so many people. Why people liked to gather in such thick masses, the girl would never know. She did know they were insane. Like these two who went there. Completely insane. She kept that to mind, trying to focus more on her candy the sheer thought of crowds. Returning to her senses the girl gave her fellow Mana Dormer a nod, glad to have met a second of her fellow ghost-capturers (although the girl may not have actually had a ghost). It was just a thing for Kyrie, the Mana Dorm was like the ghost-buster's hideout. It just had to happen.

Over in the pokemon corner, Mammon tilted his head at Dusk. He looked up for a moment, thinking; then looked to the weavile's trainer then back to her. His tail swayed, 'Headphones? My trainer often uses those, both in classes and outside. If he's looking for quality ones he should ask one of those thre- er, four.' He eyed a fourth member to join the circle of box-staring nerds, 'They probably know of the good ones.' Although his message was something like that, the espeon gave no hints that he was going to move, letting the weavile to choose whether to poke her trainer over into the direction that the rest were at. The Mana-colored boy seemed to be interested in the conversation, with him taking so long to choose. Or perhaps he just hadn't a clue as to what he was doing. Mammon didn't really know.

[Alice Geissler]

Tanya had started to ask her what brought her to the store and if she played video games often. "I just came here for shopping, I guess. I don't really play video games much. I usually read a good book during my free time." The Skrelp kept watch at the ten-year old boy playing a racing car game and there seemed to be a fourth person in the store, mostly sporting headphones to cancel out the noise. And that Weavile was there too, chatting with the light purple cat. Seems like everyone was shopping for some new games for a console, though she hadn't tried playing video games yet. Maybe she should try learning how to from the experts that know how to play those sort of games. And that meant learning how to do the controls and figuring out some combinations.

[Chris Thyodor]

Dusk merely nodded in silence for a moment, clearly thinking on what to actually do, although she nodded soon afterwards. Letting off another cry, this time it was 'Well... Chris likes to be independent where possible, in other words, he's not the type to rely on others for matters he can actually physically do himself, which he could in this scenario... so... I see there's a new member on your team... a zoroark... how is he?'. Dusk did certainly seem curious about the new member of Mammon's team... was he the type to try and take control, or was he a sensible pokemon? being a zoroark it could probably take Mammon on in a fight and have good potential for victory.

Chris merely kept looking at the headphones, until a pair caught his eye, causing him to go over to investigate, completely ignoring the conversation his Pokémon was having.

[Oleg Kirrlov]

Oleg nodded slightly at the mention of books. "Yeah... I read some stuff. Nothing that special, really. But I still prefer games over books." He scratched his chin, slowly noticing his shade had grown. Better shave that at some point. He then turned his head to Kyrie, tilting it a bit. "So, we got everything we want? I still got..." He once more checked his catalog for this visit. "Fantasy Hearts 2 final mix and that war shooter game."

He smiled a bit after checking his catalog. A dandy catch for this round, and he was sure both he and Kyrie would be satisfied enough with what they got from this trip for a few weeks at the very least.

[Tanya Christianson]

Well that avenue went flat. Maybe she shouldn't try so hard? It probably would save her the stress of it all, even if she knew it was a good gesture. At the same time though, there seemed to be a need inside her to socialize and get people to make friends with each other. She was probably annoying because of that. She knew she was doing it for the betterment of others though.

"I've got the things I wanted. We could head up to the cashier together." Tanya suggested, holding the games firmly in her hands. She tilted her head slightly, only realizing then that there was that kid from the beach looking at some headphones. To be honest, he seemed to be a bit creepy, so Tanya hadn't interacted with him as of yet. In any case, he looked to be pretty busy so she didn't disrupt him.

"Hey, maybe Alice or I can join you guys with playing games sometimes. You know, it could be fun and whatnot?" Tanya inquired, probably shooting herself in the foot if Alice didn't like that idea at all. Tanya crossed her fingers that she wouldn't look like an idiot. That would suck.
