(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?

We could use some potions, pokéballs, and hopefully some provisions for bad weather.

[ They were given some pretty nice provisions, but they do need to fill in a few things. ]

...And anything you think we should add.

Sounds like a plan. The first shop's just down the road.

[ Cherrygrove's not a big place, and by the time they step outside, he can already see the 'Mart in the distance. ]
pursuit: (hearten)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-10-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Just a few.

[ 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.

...You sure?

[ 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. ]

[ The puzzlement on Malleus' face gives Deuce pause, prompting him to study the older boy's features. ]

Something wrong?

[ He seems much more confused than he did just moments prior... ]
pursuit: (look)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-10-25 05:03 am (UTC)(link)
...You mean the automatic door?

[ Deuce has to ask, to confirm that he's understood what Malleus is referring to. ]
pursuit: (say)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-10-25 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
You see the mat by the door? Stepping on it makes the door open.

[ He doesn't know everything about how it works, of course, but he knows this part. ]
pursuit: (say)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-10-25 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ It comes as no surprise to Deuce that Malleus understands how the door works immediately. After all, he's an intelligent guy. ]

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. ]
pursuit: (Default)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-11-01 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'm pretty used to doing that...

[ 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.
pursuit: (hearten)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-11-13 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[ With the basket secured, Deuce points toward a nearby aisle. ]

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. ]
pursuit: (hearten)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-11-14 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
There'll be signs that point out the ones on sale, like... [ As they make their way down the aisle, he spots the little brightly-colored tags on the shelves and taps one with his finger. ] Like this here. You could pick whichever kind you want when it's marked like this.
pursuit: (glad)

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-11-17 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, then in the basket it goes.

[ 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.

[personal profile] pursuit 2020-11-25 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Three or four should keep us stocked for a while.

[ 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. ]
