Stuff for Sale, after classes

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow breathed in the scent of school supplies. Sure she'd been here not too long ago, but what did that have to do with anything? There were school supplies!

[ooc: Willow's here for her little bro but feel free to use for all your SfS needs. Also, after 4pm Eastern I'll be afk for a little while, but back later tonight.]

Billy managed to find the store eventually.

Willow waved. "Hey, Billy! Have a good day of classes?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah I think I'm gonna like my Religion Teacher." he said. "How're your classes going?"

ooc: sorry for any sp, my computer's a curmudgeon

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Great! I like all my teachers so far, plus I'm the Bio TA." Willow smiled proudly. "Did any of your teachers request any special supplies? We should put those at the top of our list."

[ooc: np, will be off and on tonight m'self]

"Uhm, no, but there were a lot of books in Lit class that I've never read. I'm taking Literature, Mythology/History, Astronomy, Religions, and Dance. What would you reccomend?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow thought about it. "Lots of notebooks, pens, pencils, graph paper, a calculator, folders, labels - oo! I got goosebumps just thinking about it."

She showed him her arm as proof.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

He couldn't help it. It sounded weird coming from him, he couldn't remember the last time he'd heard it from his own mouth. He giggled. It almost hurt.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow smiled when she heard him. "I know! It's so exciting! Okay, let's grab a basket. Maybe even one of those wheely carts."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Let's *snerk* let's not over do it." he said. Any residual giggles were more laughing at himself.

"I like the wheely carts but I'm kind of new to all this." It suddenly hit him. He was at school. Actual school. When was the last time he'd gone back to school shopping? three years ago? more?

"Good idea, don't want to spoil the experience by getting overwhelmed," Willow said. She got a basket for each of them. "Oh, do you need a bookbag?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Couldnt' hurt." Billy said. After all, when were bookbags not usefull? You didn't have to u se them for school did you?

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow went over to the bookbag section. "We have traditional in every color you can imagine - useful for decorating with markers and stickers - and we have non-traditional in various shapes. I bought one that looks like a dog."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy looked at the shaped ones, and paused at one shaped like a coffin. That was tempting just because it was so unusual. But the traditional ones seemed to have more space and more pockets with which to hold things.
He was stuck on the color though. Blue reminded of his father. No good.

White reminded him of Storm Shadow. No good.

Black reminded him of Snake-Eyes, but it also reminded him of the Baroness.
Better.

"This one seems nice." he said.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Good color choice," Willow said. "It'll hide the dirt."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Yes that was exactly why he'd picked it. He picked up the bag. "Lot's of pockets." he said approvingly.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Looks strong, too," Willow said. "You can hold a lot of books and not have to worry about it ripping."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy nodded. "And between Literature and Mythology/History, it looks like there'll be a fair amount of books. So, what's next?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Things of the writing variety," Willow said. She started picking out notebooks. "How many classes are you taking again?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Five. One of which is dance. I doubt I'll need a notebook for that one."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Ooo, I've got that too," Willow said. "And it can't hurt to be safe. Okay, these are the best ones. Sturdy covers, plenty of paper, plus you can carefully tear along the pages to get extra looseleaf. I'd say pick five in your favorite colors."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Okay, uh," he picked black, red, white, blue and green. "I'll probably need pens too, and, maybe a highlighter?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Absolutely," Willow said. "Are you a righty or a lefty?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Uh," he actually looked at his hands for a moment. "Ambidextrous actually."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Okay, so we don't have to worry about smearing the ink over your hands as you write," Willow said. "That opens up the option of erasable ink if you're interested."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of Ink?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Not necessarily," Willow said. "You can still hand in an ink-written assignment if the teacher asks, but you don't get stuck having to rewrite the whole page if you make a mistake on the last word."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy really had no opinion about that, so he shrugged. "I yeild to your experience." he said.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"It's technically cheating but sometimes what the teachers don't know won't hurt them," Willow said. She put some of the erasable pens and some regular ones into her basket.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy took some pens, a packet of mechanical pencils, and blue and green highlighters.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow added things like paper clips and loose leaf to her basket. "We should get you some erasers too. Do you prefer classic pink or something in a cartoony and/or scented?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Scented erasers? That's...and this feels silly to say in this place, kinda weird."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Oh no!" Willow assured him. "They can smell like bubble gum or cinnamon or strawberries. Or I guess eraser smell too but that's kind of the given."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I think I'll stick to non-scented anyway." Billy said, though he did pick out an eraser shaped like a skull and crossbones, and another that was a little cute cartoony ninja.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Most boys tend to," Willow agreed. "Okay, I think you're all set. Shall we ring you up?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"sounds good." He got a small, allowance of sorts from the Witness Protection Program, it should be enough to cover this. Fortunately his needs were few.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Whatever he needed to cover would be about half, because Willow was paying for the stuff in her basket.
