Who: Saburouta Bandou and ALL OF YOU!
What: The guy needs some new sunglasses - and probably a new wardrobe. Help?
Where: A random shopping mall on the Near Shore
When: July 14th, afternoon


A) I wear my sunglasses at night...
[ Bandou's main reason for hitting up the mall? He's gone way too long without a pair of sunglasses. Over a month, even! They were smashed to pieces back in the beginning of June when the people of the far shore were enjoying a lovely beach party. At least it was lovely before he got smacked in the face with a volley ball. Where ever that asshole Donut ended up disappearing to, the guy owed Bandou a new pair of shades. And he had every intention of handing the guy a bill if he ran into him again.

But first he's got to find the right pair. So he's stopping at all the kiosks that seem to have some array of sunglasses to browse. The last cart didn't have anything interesting, so he's headed to another when he's suddenly being hounded by a merchant from an entirely different cart. What are they trying to get him to buy anyway? Maybe he's being sold a new phone plan? Maybe he's being unwillingly sprayed with perfume? Or maybe the poor guy's being convinced to get his eyebrows threaded! Whatever it is, help the poor guy out, please! ]

B) A man can't have too many hoodies
[ Whether he got help or not, Bandou's fled into the nearest men's clothing store to get away from those damn persistent merchants. He'll eventually try to sneak back out, but while he's here, he may as well look around. He's been told by a few people that he looks nice without the hat and hoodie on all the time, but hell if he knows what he should be wearing instead. The hoodie is comfortable, and as far as he's concerned, is appropriate for all times of year or special occasions. And yes, he did wear his hoodie under his yukata for Tanabata. Fashion advice would be greatly appreciated. ]

C) Wildcard!
[ You're welcome to latch onto this guy wherever and for whatever reason. Ask him for his opinion on a new outfit. Get some food at the food court. Force him to carry all the bags from your hard day of shopping. Whatever it is, go for it! ]

[ He looks back at the kiosk, where the merchant is now hounding another shopper. ]

That guy should be arrested.

[lostinshadows]

[He chuckles.]

Unless he's actually harassing someone, I don't think he could be arrested.

[chickshades]

He was harassing me!

[ Is that not obvious?! ]

[lostinshadows]

[It doesn't count, Bandou.]

He already probably forgot about you.

[chickshades]

[ It totally counts! ]

Eh? What?!

[ Cue him turning to scowl at the guy. Because yes Bandou is petty enough to complain about attention one moment and then bitch that he's being ignored the next. ]

[lostinshadows]

[He just looks bemused.]

...Really?

[chickshades]

[ Bandou just clicks his tongue in annoyance as he turns back to Lavi. ]

...thanks.

[lostinshadows]

You're welcome.

[Smile.]

What brings you out here, anyway?

[chickshades]

I was looking for new sunglasses.

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi looks somewhat amused.]

Think you would've done better going into an actual store than to a kiosk.

[chickshades]

I know that now!

[ They just had so many pairs on display. He could't resist! ]

[lostinshadows]

[He snickers.]

So, still need to find a new pair of sunglasses?

[chickshades]

Yeah. I obviously didn't get a pair yet.

[ He does a brief glance around, noting a few of the stores. ]

Where's a good place?

[lostinshadows]

Not sure, to be honest. I've never been good at this sort of thing.

[But he does look around, too.]

[chickshades]

Wanna check out a few places?

[ He shrugs. May as well, right? And the guy's probably good to keep around just in case someone else latches on to him. ]

[lostinshadows]

[He grins.]

Might as well.

[chickshades]

[ He'll walk along the length of the mall, casually glancing into each of the stores to see if he can spot a glasses case. Finally he stops in front of a department store. They've got a bit of everything, right? ]

Let's check in here.

[lostinshadows]

Just lead the way.

[Lavi's still adjusting to things like malls, so he'll let Bandou lead.]

[chickshades]

[ They're very convenient, Lavi. Also dangerous if you don't have too much money to spend.

In the center of the store is a large display of jewelry, hats, purses and, yay!, sunglasses. Bandou grins as he sees it and eagerly heads over to see the selection. And yes, most of them are "women's" sunglasses. ]

[lostinshadows]

Hey--

[A blink when Bandou just heads over to the selection.

Upon seeing the words, he raises an eyebrow.]

Aren't those 'women's' sunglasses?

[chickshades]

[ He looks up at the sign, then back to the shades. ]

Damnit, why are women's shades so much more awesome?

[ He grabs a rather eccentric pair, flipping them around in his hand before holding them up to look through them. ]

[lostinshadows]

[He laughs.]

Not sure, but I don't think those are your style, anyway.

[chickshades]

No?

[ Hmm. He pulls another off the shelf. ]

What about these?

[ He laughs cause these are definitely not him. ]

[lostinshadows]

I think I might prefer the first pair more.

[chickshades]

Yeah me too.

[ At least until he looks at the price tag and... ]

Almost 67000 yen?? Who the hell would pay that??
