All and Sundries, 6/1

[blackadder-nth.livejournal.com]

Baldrick opened All and Sundries with a turnip riding his shoulder like a pirate's parrot. He might have been trying on "Talk Like a Pirate" Day on a different day.

What?

All and Sundries is open. Baldrick is available for modding at will.

Nadia was doing her best to pretend that she wasn't at all nervous about going into the store where she'd been trapped and beaten up by her two possessed friends.

She may have even be succeeding.

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn showed up as promised and she smiled at Nadia. "Is this the right place?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia took a deep breath and smiled back. "This is it. They've got pretty much everything."

She made no move for the door.

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was confused as she looked from Nadia to the door and then back again.

"What is wrong?"

She had only been on the scene after Pip had gotten Nadia to the Clinic so knows nothing about what happened here.

[nadiathesaint]

"Nothing." Nadia took three steps forward and stopped. "Um, after you."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn looks at Nadia in concern and then nods.

"I will not pry, but if you wish to talk about it some time, I have been told by Kings that I listen well."

She smiled and opened the door.

[nadiathesaint]

Kings? Okay, wow. . . . "Thanks." Nadia shuffled after. She could totally do this. It was just a store. "Right, badges and/or flags, water guns, and water balloons. Those could be just about anywhere."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn looked around with wide eyes when her eyes adjusted to the interior of the store.

"This is... immense."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged and offered Baldrick a little wave. At least they'd be able to get their stuff for cheap, then. "I guess. It's not as big as some of the malls or department stores that are around, though."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Malls?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Really big buildings with lots and lots of different stores in them."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Stores like these?" Gwynn asked as she started wandering the aisles.

[nadiathesaint]

"Some of them. Some of them are just little shops or stalls, some of them are bigger and two or three stories tall." Excellent. Talking about modern shopping was the perfect way to distract herself. "You can find just about anything you want in a good mall."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn stopped and turned to look at Nadia. "We should go to this mall place so I can get a horse."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grimaced. "Oh. Um, maybe not a horse. Not many people buy those any more. But you might be able to get a motorcycle or a vespa or something. . . ." Which Gwynn probably didn't know what was. "Sort of a mechanical horse?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Perhaps Nadia didn't realize how many interesting ideas she was giving to Gwynn.

"A mechanical horse is named Vespa?" She thought about this. "I guess it makes some sense."

[nadiathesaint]

"Um, yes? My boss has a motorcycle. I don't know if he named it. But I bet he'd show it to you if you asked. So you could see what I'm talking about."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn was beaming and it might be that she thinks that a motorcycle is another name for a horse. She was excited and bouncing on her heels.

[nadiathesaint]

"But for now, we have a very important mission," Nadia said, almost half to herself. "Water guns, water guns, where the hell are the water guns?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

It was Gwynn who found what she thought were water guns and held up a large armful of them.

"These?"


[[OOC: They can be the water guns or whatever you want to say she grabbed for humor. :)]]

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia looked at what Gwynn had grabbed. It looked like a water gun . . . sort of. . . .

"Maybe?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn counts out a gun for each of her cabin mates.

"Do we need any extras?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia shrugged. "Might as well. We might recruit some others. And they'd be good to have if one breaks."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn counts out 14 weird looking gun things.

[nadiathesaint]

"Okay. Water balloons."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn continues looking in the aisles.

"Nadia? What kind of balloons do we want? I've fund ones call Trojans...ones called Ramses..."

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia choked slightly. "Oh, um, those won't break very easily," but might be fun, "We could get some of the Trojans, and then some of these. Mix them up." Nadia grabbed a packet of brightly colored water balloons.

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn nodded and grabbed a box of the Trojan balloons. "Now what?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Flags or badges."

Nadia wasn't even noticing that she was in the store of doom any more.

"What did you have in mind?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"We should have a flag for the top of our cabin... and maybe the flagpole, too? And individual badges?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Okay. Something interesting. Because we're interesting people."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Of course."

Perhaps Nadia should pick the badges out...

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia was sifting through some bolts of cloth. "What should our cabin colors be, do you think?"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"Green and grey? Forest colours?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Sure." Nadia pulled out a bolt of green flannel, and then some grey shiny stuff. "Maybe a grey squirrel on a green background."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn grinned and then nodded. "I like the way you think."

[nadiathesaint]

"We could make badges to match. I could see about borrowing the button making machine from work, maybe."

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

"We'll be the only cabin with badges."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yep!"

[notafairmaiden.livejournal.com]

Gwynn grinned at her.

Jude skated in with empty hands and pockets full of change, and skated out with matches, bags of tealights, three turnips, and pockets only slightly less full of change.

Seras was experiencing her first American Heat Wave, and was disliking it greatly.

And, don't try to tell her that it's only a dry heat. She'll smack you.

Seeking relief, she walked into All and Sundries and bought a few dozen boxes of popscicles and hurried back to her cabin with her loot before Baldrick could start asking her to sketch his thingy-shaped turnip.
