[OPEN] A guaranteed personality

[spes_phthisica]

WHO: Souji, anyone who agreed to go shopping with him, and anyone else who wants to tag along.
WHAT: You know in high school movies / chick flicks when there's this awesome empowering shopping montage where everyone is laughing all the time and no one isn't fabulous?
This probably isn't going to be like that, let's be real.
WHERE: New York, I'm guessing. No, they didn't take the jet there, sorry.
WHEN: Saturday, 13/9
WARNING(S): This is a company consisting of a man who used to eat people, a woman with a PhD in Sexual Innuendo, a teacher who still has romantic feelings about someone who is technically a high school student, a high school student suffering from mutation-induced violent tendencies, and a rape survivor with PTSD. So, probably yes. Only Bridget isn't a walking CW/TW in and of himself, but people's reactions to him might warrant it.
Will add more specific things if required.

This will be a collection log of random things, so just throw up a header inside and play things out at leisure <3

Officially, Carlyn Niamh Caimbeulach was on the trip as a teacher-supervisor, there to make sure everyone was safe. Then again, the trip already had Christelle, so most people were rather convinced she just wanted to do some shopping. The three boxes she'd brought back to the van certainly represented as much. They were taped shut, but one clearly read 'Barnes & Noble' on the side - she was on a media binge again. Realistically, she'd probably max out at least one of her cards and spend months paying it off. She'd be easy to run into either in transit to or from a shop or the truck, or just sipping coffee from a local coffee shop with a 'friends don't let friends drink Starbucks' pin on her shirt.

[Of course, shopping or not, she's still taking everyone's safety at least somewhat seriously. Unless someone tells her they're going into a movie or something, they'll get a text no less frequently than once an hour, usually to the form of:] Where are you? Do you need anything? [Occasionally with a reminder if someone had said they'd be somewhere at some time or the like. Honestly, it's probably a bit annoying, even if it is her job and at least theoretically why she's here...]

[In response, she'll get a picture of a very long-suffering looking Hijikata with this thing in his hair from Souji's number.]

I think we need the fashion police
someone here is being dangerously edgy

... I'm not sure who would react how back at the Institute if you wore that around campus on typical days. But I'm reasonably sure someone would want to record the results.

[spes_phthisica]

sadly, I don't think I could actually make him wear it back at school. I'm not certain, but the way he went out to have a smoke when Desrosiers-sensei and I suggested it for kendo practice points to it.

he forgot he still had it on, and set off the store alarm.

[This may or may not be a slight embellishment on Souji's side; it's hard to tell and the world might never know.]

Please make sure I'm not going to have to post bail for someone before this is out.

More practically, that'd be a wonderfully terrible idea that I would encourage.

[Melinda doesn't mind being checked up on, it's actually pretty comforting knowing that the chance of something happening to her without someone noticing is pretty low. So she dutifully answers each text with a description of where she is.

One text however, is not like the others.]

I'm lost in a sea of colors with names like "periwinkle" and "gamboge". I think I need a translator.

... I'm not going to lie, I'd be totally lost too. Google might be your friend? Maybe?
