Mallstuck OR New Kids in the City

[kisashika]

When everyone finally regrouped in the front, Gamzee took the place next to Tavros, smiling. "Man, Tav, loving your color choices." He laughed, gently playing with the colored strands of the other's hair, lingering a bit on the purple strand. And Gamzee couldn't help himself, but he'd wandered over to Nepeta, getting a closer look at her's.

"Holy shit, how'd they make your hair longer?" He kept his hands to himself, with her, not wanting to offend by touching John's moirail. Then his attention turned to John- having what seemed to be a short attention span moment. "And you, man. Everyone's hair is so freaking awesome." If he could, Gamzee probably would have wandered around the three others, staring off at the colors. But, he'd been feeling a bit sober since lunch.

Then he was derailed again at the mentioning of Recouperacoons- something twinged in his mind; that meant sopor slime would be available again and he wasn't so sure that would be a good thing, or a bad thing. Gamzee walked back over to Tavros, not knowing what to think about being around slime again.

"I don't really know how!" She smiled, before starting to head out of the salon. "But I love it! It feels natural, like I was meant to have it, you know?" She didn't know why, but sometimes you just had a need to deep down, to connect with your past.

"Hmm, well I guess they wouldn't have any of those here, would they...? What do humans sleep on? Beds? Something like that?" She did see a store that advertised mattresses, which looked kinda like what Jade slept on, from what she remembered. "Are those comfurtable, John?"

Tavros' contagious yawn reached John, as he realized his exhaustion from their mall romp. High emotions, running about, and all around having fun all had its toll when added up, after all.

"Beds are great," he answered Nepeta's question with a growing need for one. "At least, as long as you get ones with lots of cushion." He rubbed at his eye a little bit sleepily, getting tired just mentioning it. "We also need... (yaaawwn)... blankets and pillows to go with the beds."

Having decided to get some kind of relaxation furniture the group made their way through the mall. It was all he could do to get there, and rather than looking around and helping decide anything he rolled himself off to the side where he could be out of the way and just... sat.

He regarded his friends as they negotiated and made purchases with a sleepy, warm gaze. He was pretty exhausted, worn out from the surprisingly chaotic burst of energy he'd had moments earlier. With everything so quiet and still in his little corner the Taurus gradually found himself slumping down in his four wheeled device, eyes drifting closed and fluttering open again as he worked to stay awake.

As they shopped, Gamzee felt relieved that they weren't purchasing Recouperacoons and instead getting "beds". Not really great at picking colors that matched or went well together, Gamzee picked out a few things with the others' help, bed-sheets, comforters, pillows- the works, and payed for them himself, tucking them away in his sylladex. As they shopped, Gamzee did keep a watchful eye out on Tavros as the other rested peacefully.

Whenever their beds and various items had been bought, Gamzee wandered over to his matesprit- Tavros must have been extremely tired to be lolling off so early, it had probably been the caffeine rush finally crashing. Gamzee couldn't help but softly smile and kiss him on the forehead- already deciding whenever John and Nepeta had finished shopping that he would push the Taurus to their block in the communal hive.

"Hey, you guys." He called over to the others. "I'mma chill over here until you guys are ready to go." Gamzee waved and leaned against the wall next to Tavros. "Give a motherfucker a shout out when y'all wanna' leave."

Nepeta smiled, glad to be doing the last of the shopping. On the way to the bed store she did manage to find some fresh captchalogue cards and a Pictionary modus, installing both successfully. She was back in action! She stored the bed, blankets, mattress, pillows, and pads she bought in it.

She nodded to Gamzee. "Anywhere else we should go?"

At the lack of an answer, she grinned. "Then let us purrcede to the hive!" Nepeta started to take the lead, but stopped. She took John and set him in front instead. "I furgot, our furriendleader must lead the way!" She giggled and gave John a nice smile.

John fazed in and out of focus, shaking his head a bit to stay alert. Staring at beds for too
long didn't really help with his sudden exhaustion, and he was about ready to crash.

A little shove got him back to his senses, and he chuckled. "Ahaha, right! Onward to our... um, communal hive, right? ...right!"

John: Lead Your Friends to Some Well-Deserved Rest.

This was your first time on a friend-outing like this.

Best outing ever.
