What did I need? [Meiko]

[:.Momo.:]

Streaming along the isles in the store, Meiko picked out the food she wanted to cook for the next three days before maybe coming back. She always loved fresh food and usually she didn't want to get more than she needed. So that is what she did, her cart strolled down as she followed and led it to the bread section.

Meiko picked out the following foods so far; white bread, red beans, pickled squashed, rice, mackerel, apples, bananas, green beans, and lettuce. She only needed a few more things and counted on her fingers how many. For passing school in math with an A+ all the way, she sure reverted back to old tactics.
But she continued in the chocolate isle.

Rune wandered through the grocery store. She had always been a practical sort, so she had consented to get the essentials before she fed her habit and went to look for a book store. She was dieing for some new books. She'd finished all of the ones she'd brought to the school with her, which was quite a lot. Already her house was cluttered with them and the shelves in her office were completely filled. Though she supposed she had an excuse since she was going to be the literature teacher at Ciboule.

[:.Momo.:]

Meiko went down an isle and turned the corner as she went into the chips and dip isle. 'Salsa? Bean dip? Maybe not?' SHe didn't know and was now confused by the different kinds and brands of the stores holding of dips. Why so many in one rack? Meiko read each lable, getting more confused by the second. "I'm so confused.Urgh." She muttered softly to herself.

"Kyaa!" A girlish yell was heard from a little ways away which was followed by a crash and a loud speaker announcement that proclaimed, "Clean up on isle 5..."

A rather ditsy looking blond walked into the isle followed by a calm and contemplative young man who wore glasses. He was almost half a foot taller than her, not that this meant much since she was short, even by Japanese standards. In all other ways they looked to be complete opposites as well. He had light blue hair, clipped short, that looked as icy as his composure. Wearing a white button up shirt and black slacks he was the very image of a proper intellectual. She on the other hand, wore her long hair up in some kind of complicated bun and wore black nylons, a knee length skirt, and a shirt similar to his (except that it appeared as if it might be too large for her.) Despite her efforts she still looked in many ways to be a child playing dress up rather than a grown woman. He balled his hand up into a fist and hit her softly on the head in a completely apathetic way. "Idiot..." The icy young man began. "I told you not to come with me if you couldn't at least pretend to be a competent adult."

Rune stifled a laugh. Apparently the young man had brought the girl along grudgingly. She wondered about their relationship absently as she added something to her basket. Brother and sister maybe? It certainly seemed to have the same type of feeling to it.

Ayan went straight to the small section in the back of the store where vegan foods were kept. After getting an arrnful if instant noodle cups, he stumbled over to the counter awkwardly. It wasnt until he reached the counter that he realised he had dropped a number of cups on the way and slowly made his way back, retracing his steps.

[nekochi]

Rune stared at Ayan. He seemed to be rather out of it. "Here." She abruptly handed him her hand-held basket. She had put her items in it, but he seemed to need it a lot more than she did. Then she began to walk towards the back to get another basket.

[mastie]

"Oh. HAHAHA" Ayan sat down on the floor and began to laugh awkwardly

As he was doign this he began to think to himself: What am I doing? Why can't I stop laughing like this? Figures I hafta meet new people on a day I feel out of it.

[:.Momo.:]

Meiko turned a corner, unnoticably hearing the laughter but not knowing where it was coming from, but she had stopped when she hit someone or something. Awkward. She looked over the cart and gasped."Oh my! I'm sorry."

With that sweet innocent foot she stepped forward completely falling forward, had she not noticed the sigh,'Floors wet'. No. Meiko whined and graoned, while rubbing her cheek."Ow, ow, ow, ow..." She sat up, rubbing it."Ow." She clenched her teeth, then sighed.'I'm an idiot who can't even walk right.' She thought. Then her attention turned to the boy on the floor.

[nekochi]

Amanda let out a sound somewhere between a yelp and a squeak. The ran over to Meiko (almost tripping herself in the process) and scurried around her. "Are you alright? You should really be more careful you know! Not that I'm one to talk, but... Oh! Are you alright?"
Tyler sighed. This is what exasperated him the most about Amanda. She was always being overly "helpful" and in the process getting in the way. Why couldn't she just be useful for once? He sighed again and held out his hand to Meiko to help her up.

Rune had barely noticed the girl had fallen (except to let out a slight chuckle that there could be so many clumsy adults in one place) and was staring rather rudely at Ayan from above her glasses. Was he insane or simply overly embarrassed? Personally, she didn't waste time on getting embarrassed. It was a pointless, tiring emotion. After pondering a few more minutes she finally spoke. "You, boy, if you keep laughing like that you are going to make even more of a fool of yourself. I'm surprised someone hasn't committed you already...." She adjusted her glasses, hardly caring that her comments lacked even the most basic social skills. Even Tyler, who was no social butterfly himself, blinked a few times as if he was slightly taken aback.

[:.Momo.:]

" No, no I'm alright." She said to Amanda, smiling innocently but foolish."Thank you though." Her attention turned to Tyler with the same smile as before. Meiko urged her hand into his, taking up on his helpful nature."Thank you..." She had no name.

Her ears listened to Rune and Ayan, which is rude to not pay attention to the man who helped her, but she couldn't help it. What Rune said was seemingly harsh in tone, but she was on a track, why was he sitting on the floor laughing? Though her eyes concentrated on the person in front of her, the man. "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

[nekochi]

"It's no problem. I'm Tyler Michell. And you are?" He looked the girl over. She was quite pretty with dark hair and a sweet smile. He wasn't quite sure how to respond to her. He moved his arm to adjust his glasses and caught a glimpse of his watch. Was it really that late? "Oh I'm sorry. I have to go. I teach at the nearby school and my class starts in a little under half an hour. I didn't realize it was this late. Amanda," he began addressing his cousin. "Could you take these back to the house?" He knew that being an art and music teacher her classes didn't start until tomorrow. She nodded, happy to be of some use to Tyler and vowing to do a good job to please him.

Rune gasped when she heard Tyler talking and looked at her own watch. "I have to get to Ciboule!" She then quickly left the store without saying so much as a word to Ayan.

((XD Rune is so rude. XD))

[:.Momo.:]

[ XD Haha ]

Meiko had bowed when he said his name. Then looked up. She stared over him and shrugged in mind to herself. Tyler Michell? Maybe he's hlaf american, or a very well educated in the japanese language. Meiko smiled again, thinking more of less almost forgetting to intorduce herself."Meiko Tsunai." She replied with the grin.

"Very nice to meet you Mr.Michell, see you around." She said to his leaving, she had to get going as well.
