WALMART

[paraleyes]

[THIS WASN'T A JOKE I am not even in the general vicinity of fucking around

So the Dan finds themselves in a Walmart! One of the Super ones, so it's huge and more likely than not has everything anyone could ever want. You could live in this thing. So what do you do?

Well, Mary finds her way over to the area for more intimate equipment and has discovered yet another back massager ("back massager"). And is, expectedly, cooing over it like it's the coolest thing in the world.]

[substitutable]

... Mary.

What are you doing?

[paraleyes]

[She's holding it up in his face! She's seen back massagers before, of course, over at the department store back home, but this one's like, way different? Isn't that interesting? She's not entirely positive why they'd even need more than a few different types, but having some in differing sizes sort of does make sense, when she thinks about it -- smaller ones can reach smaller spots on the back.]

Shintaro, look...! Hey, isn't this really cool?

[substitutable]

It's-- yeah! It is!

Put it down, Mary. Like. Really. Please.

[paraleyes]

[And she just. Stops, tilting her head to the side slightly, confused -- what is he talking about? This is just a magic wand. It's for your back, the boxes say.]

...? Why?

[substitutable]

Er.

Because it's not a toy, and if you break it, we'll run out of money we need to buy everything else trying to pay for it!

[paraleyes]

[And her eyes go wide with fear at that concept. Shit shit shit oh god she fucked up she fucked up she hecked up she's trash

is the sentiment, anyway, one Shintaro is doubtless familiar with. If she breaks this, then they'll have to replace it. If they have to replace it, that costs money. If they have to spend money, they can't get any of the other things they want or need, which is definitely infinitely more important than just those things they want, and it would be her fault? Everyone will blame her for it. This is the opposite of what she wanted.

So of course she panics.]

E-Ee -- uu... S-Sorry...! Sorry, Shintaro! Um, I'll put it back right now...!

[Which she does, and expectedly does nearly stumble doing so, but because I don't hate everyone, she manages okay actually putting it where she found it.]

[substitutable]

Hey-- be careful, Mary!

[He starts after her when he sees her stumble, but when he realizes that she's okay he breathes a sigh of relief and grabs her (gently) by her arm, starting to pull her in another direction. Groceries. Yeah. Groceries.]

D-don't worry about it. But you should also stick closer to everyone too, okay?

[paraleyes]

I-I'm okay...! Sorry...

[She makes a surprised little noise when he takes her by the arm, but doesn't seem otherwise upset and just sort of goes along with it. He has a point. She's having fun in this store, but if everyone were to leave without her...

Yes. Definitely better to at least hang around someone.]

Sorry about that, Shintaro... I don't want to get lost.

[So far, so good, we'd say. Up until ]

Do you think I could find a map for this store...?

[substitutable]

Don't worry -- we can look for a map. But if you get lost I don't know if you can read the signs, so just be careful, okay? Stick to Momo at least.

[He lets go of her once she's keeping up, patting her shoulder and leading the way.]

Do you have any food you want to eat?

[paraleyes]

Okay...!

[She thinks hard on the question of food, though. She definitely had enough time to form preferences, but since she didn't really need anything... was it all right for them to waste money on her?]

No... I'll just get some tea.

[substitutable]

Are you sure? I mean, tea's fine, but everyone's getting snacks anyway so you can get what you want.

... Do you need a coat, by the way? You get cold easily right?

[all the worries.]

[paraleyes]

Oh, um...

[She looks around for a bit, eyebrows furrowed slightly in the beginnings of a troubled expression, then grabs... let's say some of those chocolate cakes with the creme filling? Hostess or Little Debbie or whatever. A little hastily, but the art on the box makes them look nice. She can share with Momo.]

Does it get really cold here? It's okay right now.

[substitutable]

[He nods and looks around, finding a shopping basket and picking one up. He'll hold it, but he offers to let her put her cake in the basket in case she wants to keep her hands free for grabbing anything else. And for catching herself in case she tripped.]

The temperature on the moon is actually really cold. The base keeps it controlled, but it's probably best you've got something really warm in case there's a malfunction.

[paraleyes]

[Yikes. She had no idea it worked like that -- she'd just thought they'd managed to get a base set up on the moon somehow. The specifics had never really occurred to her. She places her cakes in the basket.]

That's... pretty scary... would that happen, Shintaro? I'll get a jacket...!

[substitutable]

Some of us are working on getting the power source of the base stabilized. It should be sometime soon... so don't worry too much.

[Headpats for the fretting medusa girl.]

But get a jacket. It's cold around here.

[paraleyes]

T-Thanks -- I'll buy one --

[Which she does. Whenever they head over to that portion of the store, she grabs a cute (but very bulky) pink one in a child's size -- a perfect fit for her.]

Does this one look okay?

[substitutable]

[... It's going to make her look like cotton candy. He really is no fashion expert, but he doesn't think it's going to look horrible and fashion is less important than practicality. He moves the basket handle to his elbow and reaches over to get the hanger out of the coat.]

You should see if it's warm enough first.

[geniality]

[Gosh, what has Mary gotten herself into this time.... more weird electronics?]

So, did you find something you like?

[paraleyes]

Yeah...! When we went to the store, there were wands just like these...

[She demonstrates by flipping the "on" switch." The head of the massager starts vibrating and moving around!]

It moves! Isn't that really cool?

[geniality]

So they're back massagers? [That's what the display says, anyway. Mary still doesn't know much about electronics, so it's no wonder that she's as fascinated as always!]

I've never seen one like this either! Here, you wanna try it?

[paraleyes]

-- Yes!

[Although she was definitely in a swell mood a few moments ago, she still manages to perk up noticeably when she hears that question. Playing with it was one thing, but actually getting to use it was just --]

Is that okay...? Is it okay for me to try it, Seto?

[geniality]

I think so! It's a display, right? If it's plugged in then it's okay to try it out!

[No, please don't. Please.]

[paraleyes]

[That's not something she can really argue with, and she had no plans on doing so anyway, because it really is interesting and she really does want to try it out. Her back isn't especially tense, but it should still feel nice, right? Lord save them for they know not what they do.

So she hands it on off to Seto and turns so that her back's facing him. SHE'S READY FOR HER MASSAGE, MR FORESTMAN.]

[geniality]

So you just put it between your shoulders, right? [Alright.... this shouldn't be too hard. It may be a little powerful for someone like Mary, but after he brushes her hair over her shoulders and presses the massager to her back, it seems to be working alright.

Forestman, yes, but he's not a lolicon! Seriously! This is a back massager.]

Is it too strong?
