Amalgaverse High

In an attempt to shake off the...stuff that happened after Homecoming, Gabe has decides to re-invent himself. This has lead him to the mall, where he currently sports his (scraggly) mustache and a baggy hoodie as he shops for a new wardrobe to go along with his new identity.

After Brooke's conversation with Alec at the mall, she's sort of been dwelling on the poor boy's relationship problems. Yeah, it's not her place to get involved, but she also has trouble staying out of peoples' business sometimes. Especially when it involves people who could practically be family to her.

Plus, if her boyfriend's best bro is down in the dumps, he's going to complain about it endlessly and ask her to fix it anyhow. She's getting a jump on things, right?

So, at school, she keeps on the lookout for the spitfire that is Clara so that she might be able to get some more information about the situation.

The mall is always a bustling place, especially with a high school full of teenagers in town. Also, with Halloween approaching, you can bet there's lot of people hunting for the perfect costume. Because of this, you can expect the Halloween stores to be open, of course.

God, children. Socialize! Make friends! ...or enemies, whichever.

Aside from going to school and work, Ryan really hasn't ventured out into public since he began his sunny trip down withdrawal lane. There's about a bajillion reasons why not, ranging from his rampant irritability to the non-stop headaches he's been dealing with. But it's been almost a month now, and while he's still anxious and a little paranoid, he's stopped flying off the handle at the tiniest thing, and his head's been cutting him some slack. So when Levi mentioned he had a job interview at the mall, Ryan decided he might as well tag along. Because being cooped up all alone for a few hours sounded very unappealing, and now that he's not buying snorty coke, he has money to spend. And that means shopping. While Levi's at his interview, Ryan hits up his usual stores of choice- Urban Outfitters, Hot Topic, and Journeys- then grabs a seat at Starbucks (not /that/ one; the one by the food court) and goes for some highly caffeinated something or other, which is new crutch as of late, and people watches. Because that never fails to be entertaining.

As usual, Dakota is trolling the mall for customers. Because of her chosen profession, she has to be available all the time, and right now is the prime time for people to come looking for a fix. She hits all her usual spots-- the water fountains near the back entrance, the girl's bathroom, Spencer's, and Abercrombie and Fitch-- and then, with a good hundred twenty five in her wallet, decides to go splurge a little on herself. This means ridiculously high priced coffee, obviously. Starbucks is not the best place to lurk, because honestly, it's too quiet and Dakota doesn't have very many hipster customers, but she's pretty much made her quota for the day. Any more customers, and it'll just be a bonus. When she walks in, she doesn't immediately spot Ryan. She's not exactly /looking/ for him, even though he seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. After she's bought her coffee though, Dakota /does/ spot him, and after chilling by the wall for a moment, decides to go say hello. She'll be greeting him with a, "You never call me anymore, Letowski. I'm hurt."

Where do the cool kids hang out after school? The mall, obviously. But not that lowly, trashy mall. This is the fancy mall on the rich side of town. The one with stores that carry shit like Coach bags and Jimmy Choo shoes and things no normal person should ever need. Anyone who's not willing to drop a few hundred on something you can get from the regular mall should...probably go to the regular mall.

Of course Wesker would be shopping here. Step foot in that gross, commoner mall? Not a damn chance. He's making his way through what little crowds there are, chatting on his cell phone, while in his other hand he's got a couple bags from some of the clothing stores. His next destination? That fancy boutique up ahead.

Fancy /indeed/. It even has personal shoppers so all the rich, snooty people who shop there don't need to lift a finger. And they get the added bonus of bossing people around. Excellent. One of those poor saps who does your shopping for you is Maxwell, and he's jsut finished clocking in, heading up to the register to wait around until called upon to be a glorified slave. Fun!

Homecoming time, for one Helena Way, means going to the mall to buy the skankiest scenester everything she can get her grubby hands on. In this case, she's on the hunt for some Playboy bunny accessories, because those are so classy. Where better to find those than Spencers? The answer; NO WHERE.  So that's where she'll be, hair teased to high heaven, pants tighter than Saran Wrap, and cell phone glued to her right hand.

Levi has already found everything required for his Homecoming outfit except for his purple tie. It's not guaranteed that Spencers will have a purple tie, but it's worth a look, and besides, Levi's just killing time anyway. So in he wanders, unsuspecting, and every once in a while he'll break out the phone for a text. And by every once in a while that means every five seconds.

It's another afternoon at the mall, and up on the second level people come and go from the awesome restaurant/buffet that is Todai. Sure, it's not cheap, but there's a TON of food and an equal amount of eye candy in the form of sexy male waiters. In fact, there's not a waitress in sight. Huh. Plus they're running a special, half price lunches!

Poe has been known to splurge on herself from time to time. Going to one of her favorite resturants in town is a rare treat and one she's so very taking advantage of today. Half price lunches? That means two can eat for the price of one! Which means both her and her partner inb crime, Eloise, are aiming for the sushi buffet today. Despite the ~raw fish~ deal, there's always enough non-meaty portions to go around. And sweets! So no one really loses here.

When Poe invited her to lunch at the Man Buffet, Eloise, of course, jumped at the chance. Because look at those waiters, good god. "You are not allowed to judge me by how much I'm about to eat. Nor how much ogling I do." Stern face.

Kids love the mall, right? Of course they do! It's the weekend so feel free to send your kids shopping/have them doing juvenile things. Just remember, there are always security guards, and if caught doing bad things parents -will- be called! So have fun!
