Turtle and Canary, Monday (9/15)

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka was bored. Bored, bored, bored, bored. This wasn't at ALL something that people should be scared of.

After a while, a sign went up in the window:

WARNING:
BEWARE OF NINJA ATTACK HUGS

Deposit $1 in the box by the door for immunity.

Sokka was hiding behind some shelves, watching the door.

Jan cautiously poked his nose in the door and, when nothing untoward happened, walked inside. Everything made for humans was almost too small, and he snorted once as he looked around.

So this was a store. It smelled fascinating.

[ooc: Unicorn can totally be ninja hugged.]

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

It was the unicorn. A being of grace and majesty and ultimate poise, and also a very sharp, wicked-looking pointy thing on its head. A lesser person might have decided against the attack hugging... but Jan hadn't paid his dollar.

"IT'SREALLYGREATTOSEEYOU!!!!" Sokka yelled, as he launched himself at the unicorn's neck.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

Jan didn't have a dollar. Jan, in fact, didn't know what a dollar was.

He did know, though, that there was a person clinging to his neck, and he barely controlled his start of surprise. "It is great to see you, Sokka...are you attacking me?" he asked curiously, craning his head around to peer at him.

"No, I'm giving you a ninja attack hug!" Sokka insisted. "Didn't you read the sign???"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[firebringerborn.livejournal.com]

"There was a sign?" Jan was a very bemused unicorn. "Should I ninja attack hug you in return?"

Mac came down after her first period class. Early morning classes like that, required her to search out large quantities of sugar and caffiene to keep her awake the rest of the day.

She eyed the sign skeptically, checking around herself as she walked into the store. Hey, maybe the ninja-hugs would be dodgable if she saw it coming? She so didn't have the cash to be paying for immunity here.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

And there was Sokka pouncing on her from behind for a hug. "EEEEEHIMAC!!!"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac reacted with a little 'oof', her field of vision not quite extending to the back of her head. That was just sneaky.

"Sokka?"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka beamed at her. "YOU didn't pay the dollar!"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

There were reasons, Turtle realized, why she always felt compelled to go into the store and check on things on Mondays. She eyed the sign, and then eyed Sokka.

"So where is that money going to really?" she asked.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Sokka pouted at having been spotted so easily. "Into the cash register, of course!" he insisted, as he walked out from behind the shelf and approached Turtle. "Where'd you expect me to..." -- He pounced at her. "HELLO!!!"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

And then suddenly as she was trying to figure out how to budget in a sort of overdraft of one dollar bills being fed into the register without the sale of a product, she was being pounced at.

"AH!" Caught of guard, she had no clue whether her arms moving up would be able to defend her from such pouncing.

It was highly unlikely.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

No, she was quite thoroughly pounced. "You didn't pay," Sokka told her, giving her a squeeze. "I was watching."

Rikku was doing her best to sneak into the store unnoticed.

Not because she wanted to duck any ninja attack hugs.

But because she wanted to try to catch Sokka in one.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Unfortunately, she didn't make it in unnoticed, because Sokka was watching the door like a hawk.

But fortunately, he circled down one aisle and up the next in order to get a better angle to pounce her from, and didn't pay attention to whether she was behind him.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[the_merriest]

He never saw her coming. Not when she secretly doubled back, and then launched herself in an epic, world-class, TACKLEHUG.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

"AAAAAAAAGH!!!" Sokka toppled over in a pile of tacklehugging and hit the ground hard. "YOU DID IT BACKWARDS!!!"

Reno read the sign on the door.

He then fished around in his pocket. And he frowned.

ShinRa charge cards would not be so easily deposited in the box.

Which was okay. It just meant that he was sauntering into the store with his hands held up in fists, really.

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

Fists. Darn.

Sokka got a good run-up and slid across the floor, trying to attack-hug Reno's ankles. "EEEEEEE!!!"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[raspberryturk]

Reno's ankles, unfortunately, did not come with fists attached.

So he just raised an eyebrow and stared down at Sokka, attempting to lift a foot and shake it to dislodge the leech he'd apparently picked up.

"The hell's with all the huggin', man?"

Re: Enjoy your shopping experience

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

It was your idea.

"I was bored!" Sokka told him. "And you didn't pay your dollar."

Mod Apu

[sarcasm-guy.livejournal.com]

For an uneventful shopping experience.

Epecially during fourth period, when Sokka's at class.

Yeah, I don't know, either.
