(Closed) Malleus and Deuce go shopping
Who: Malleus Draconia and Deuce Spade
Where: Cherrygrove city
When: October 11th
Summary: Shopping trip!
Rating: E for everyone
Log:
[Malleus has been on an adventure with Deuce Spade, and even though he’s not used to calling the other by his first name yet, it’s been fun. His own Pokémon has grown stronger, learning more moves, and becoming friendlier with Deuce and his Pokémon.
They had been in Cherrygrove city for a few days, and Deuce, being the one used to shopping and just general non magical things, had offered to do all the necessary arrangements for their travel. Malleus had been comfortable with the way things were, but... he was curious.
Deuce was going to go shopping soon, for supplies for their trip to Violet city, and Malleus wanted to learn how to do the things Deuce did, specially when it came go being helpful. So, before the human (well, they’re technically both human now, weren’t they?) goes to leave, Malleus puts Gum down from his lap and stands up.]
Deuce, would it be ok to accompany you to do the shopping?

no subject
[ They were given some pretty nice provisions, but they do need to fill in a few things. ]
...And anything you think we should add.
no subject
I guess we will see what they have?
no subject
[ Cherrygrove's not a big place, and by the time they step outside, he can already see the 'Mart in the distance. ]
no subject
[He thought everything would come from one shop. Looking at the building, it seems really plain and soft coloured, completely unlike what he's used to.
Malleus turns to look at Deuce, his eyebrows knitted together.]
How many stores are we going to?
no subject
[ He says it lightly and with a smile on his face, but the envelope full of coupons wedged between store flyers containing weekly sales advertisements suggests he's approached this matter all too seriously. ]
It'll go by quickly, with a smart guy like you around.
no subject
You're the one with the experience in this field though.
[They reach the front of the first store and Malleus looks at the sign. It's... Not very informative as to what's inside.]
After you.
no subject
[ Deuce pauses at the doorway, shooting a puzzled look up at Malleus. Don't ladies and royalty usually go first...? But if Malleus wants him to take the lead, he supposes it makes sense when he knows where they're going and what they're doing.
With that in mind, he steps forward, electronic doors whoosing open to make way for a customer...
Only to close again before Malleus can pass through. ]
no subject
He stares at them for a bit, then walks up to them to touch the glass, and swoosh, they open. He passes through, not entirely sure what controls the doors, and goes up to Deuce, the confusion visible on his face.]
...Huh.
no subject
Something wrong?
[ He seems much more confused than he did just moments prior... ]
no subject
[He says this as if he were pointing out something that didn't make sense. Which, really, it doesn't, considering there's no magic in this world.]
no subject
[ Deuce has to ask, to confirm that he's understood what Malleus is referring to. ]
no subject
[Malleus nods, and he turns to look at it again. When someone walks out, it opens, then after a few moments, it closes again.]
no subject
[ He doesn't know everything about how it works, of course, but he knows this part. ]
no subject
... So it's triggered by weight.
[He's looking at the door as he speaks, but then turns to Deuce.]
Apologies for that, what are we here for?
no subject
We're picking up food here, mostly. They've also got a sale on things like toothpaste and soap that we can stock up on.
[ And should, for that matter, considering how much travel on foot there is between towns. ]
no subject
I can help you carrying things.
[Since he can't really tell the difference between the two lemons they have in front of them.]
no subject
[ Of course, that's because his mom was the one making the shopping decisions, so his contribution was carrying the groceries.
It always felt better, being able to help. In that case, he shouldn't deny Malleus that. ]
Alright, can you grab one of those baskets there? It should be enough to carry what we need.
no subject
He's ready to follow and hold anything for Deuce though, because he's going to be useful today!]
no subject
We'll start over there, they've got soap and toothpaste on sale. Shampoo too, I'm pretty sure.
[ And it never hurts to stock up while prices are low. ]
no subject
How do I know which one we want?
no subject
no subject
[He looks at the shelves, and sees the sticker in many of them, so when he finds one that looks like it'll taste good, for the toothpaste at least, he picks it up, inspecting the packaging.]
This one seems good.
no subject
[ It's clear Malleus is giving careful thought to his selection, and that this is his first time on a shopping trip for mundane little things like this.
Maybe he doesn't need to say it, but he hopes it'll encourage Malleus to make selections without concern. ]
You've got good judgement, and you know what you'd like better than I would.
no subject
One is lower than the other, and he wonders why that is. If it's on sale, it means it costs less, right? So he looks at the smaller numbered shelf and picks one up. It's a green coloured soap on the box, and he smiles. Green's a good colour.]
How many soaps do we need?
no subject
[ They have to balance being well-supplied with what they can carry, after all. With Malleus being changed into...is he human now, or made to look that way? In any case, those alterations may have affected his strength and would take adjusting to.
Better that they pack a reasonable load, rather than picking up too much. The next town shouldn't be so far off that four bars of soap would be exhausted, he thinks. ]
